Message: <blockquote data-quote="KenHood" data-source="post: 4508354" data-attributes="member: 4413">About Vaithe[sblock=Esoterica...]Lost?A common belief, but untrue. In actuality, Vaithe's masterpiece imploded in a paradox, when the famous Oan wizard, Nadan, postulated his Incompatibility Theorem.The Theorem goes thus...If "Word is Reality" as Master Vaithe states, then when one writes the following words--"Words are not reality"--one creates an inherent imbalance in the continuum of existence. For if "words are not reality" in truth, then the statement becomes a lie because it is in fact reality. But if "words are not reality" is not true, then the words ARE reality, but here are words stating that words ARE NOT reality, so they negate their own (and all other words') existence as reality.It is written that Master Vaithe's master-piece literally vanished in a puff of logic. Ironically, in proving his work to be false, it also proved its truth, which proved its falseness, and so on.The resonance on the fabric of reality was so great that time itself stopped in the immediate locale of the debate between Vaithe and Nadan. Should one trouble one's self to visit this location, one would find the two wizards frozen as statues, preserved at the zenith of their respective abilities. A fitting end for intellects so great.[/sblock]</blockquote>
