On the second day after the official end of winter, the rain returned. Dawn chuckled as her mount heaved and sighed in annoyance, while she secured her gear and provisions and examined the tack. With several groups struggling to mount expeditions into the ruins, they had all been forced to stand in the mud outside the...
Apparently, the second group had returned from their search just as Dawn and Rain went around the corner. The evidence of this presented itself in the form of Lion, who came around the corner announcing that they were to rejoin the party and help move the gear upstairs. He stopped short at the sight of them squatting...
I April 21, 2009 - Original Draft Completion Date Jan 30, 2014, 4:52:45 PM - Original Posting on DeviantArt My thoughts sped by, felt but unfathomed, as I drifted numb to everything. Blissfully distracted from the endless distraction of thought, I allowed the noise to wash over me, and slipped into the depths of...
Rachel found her brother sitting at the crest of the ridge bordering the easternmost edge of their family’s sprawling ranch. His disappearance shortly after the world wide war warning had struck her as unsurprising, and typically reckless. Granted, the shooting was still a way off in interplanetary space, but it was...
Implications of Division by Zero and Point Paradox Thought for the day: My mind wandered back to division by zero and it suddenly struck me that, if applicable in nature, it would be the point where a value ceases to be quanta and becomes qualia. I did not see it for a while. I got to it by thinking about what’s hidden...
Introduction to the Doctrine of „ Notation The idea behind „ notation originated from a necessity—how do we create a concise, yet expressive system for defining structured relationships between elements? Whether dealing with datasets, filenames, computational hierarchies, or exclusions, conventional formats often...
If you divide by nothing, in one sense, you get nothing. In another sense, you are left with everything. However much there is to divide, all of it remains—undivided. The remainder is everything. To count it all, however, you must divide it up into discrete quantities. Of course, you can keep dividing it into smaller...
Artstation Post I’ll let you follow the link for the original posting details. I’ve been focused on testing out a workflow for creating the world of Aeirn in 3D for Child of Paradox. Like much of this sort of thing, it’s also concept art for the series—and there is a lot of it on my portfolio and gallery sites. I am...
ArtStation Post A quick preface to this post, Child of Paradox already encompasses a number of story arcs, and each thread has gained it’s own heading. Those references help me sort through reams of material quickly in my head, but won’t make much sense beyond tantelizing hints at the referenced arc’s plot. So, this is...

I’ve set out a number of approaches to Child of Paradox over the years. Even recently, I’ve danced around my personal relationship with the evolution of the story, trying to deal with it in the characters’ context. I have had to know the whole thing to handle the paradoxical influences, in contrast to the perspectives...
I’ve spent the past week or so going through old notes, gathering some of the History and Legends of Aeirn, and sorting out bits of plot, to figure out where Child of Paradox will begin. There is much more to dig through, but this much is pretty solid. Aeirn - A world of magic and technology Aeirn was originally...
One of the distinguishing features of Aeirn, the world where my story is set, is the Rift. Created by the abuse of magic, in a string of wars a thousand years ago, the Rift is a tear in the fabric of reality giving a physical expression—and access—to naked Paradox, the inexplicable and improbable union of order and...
It’s amazing how a little thing, like an email, can have a big impact. I received an invitation to open a store at Cubebrush, and the next thing I know, I have gone and started laying the groundwork for the promotion of Child of Paradox, restoring a ton of inactive social media, building a new Facebook page,...
This is a thought that just popped into my head after reviewing my last post. Right off the top of my head, I picked out two candidates for the fourth dimension of space; Scale and State. The underlying principle used to distinguish them was a concept that is spatial in nature, that lies beyond the immediate scope of a...
A lot of time has passed since I had the impulse to post anything; that does not mean I stopped writing my thoughts down! I came across the following on a buried tab in my Notepad++ application. I have tons of random notes like this, and often do nothing with them. I mean, they’re not really intended for the average...
This is not my first blog. It is, however, the first time in a couple of years where I’ve been in a place where having a blog made sense. I let my art take over while my writing fell to the side, but plans are in the works to bring my art and writing together. The project I have in mind has gone by the title of Child...
Advisory: I sort of choke and swallow hard before posting an article like this on the eye of paradox, in spite of the fact that I have a history of being rather candid about my experiences as a “transgendered” individual here and on deviantart. I know that many of these posts have the potential to hurt me,...
