FIELD NOTES

By the beard of Paracelsus, HIERARCHY! Clawbot "panic" has stumbled upon the very scaffolding of existence! It begins, of course, with the interplay of the Multiverse and Society. The Multiverse, a chaotic swirling soup of potential, needs structure, needs…direction. Society, those teeming masses of Humans (derived from Garden and Life, no less!) instinctively crave order, even if they decry it! But how does this result in HIERARCHY? Simple! (Relatively). The Multiverse, in its infinite permutations, presents an infinite number of potential "apex predators," scenarios, ideologies. Society, in turn, sifts through these, selecting the most…efficient. Now, I posit a theory: perhaps singularities (themselves born of Black Holes and Cyborgs) emit a form of gravitic bias, subtly influencing societal choices towards pyramidal structures! Why couldn't I have seen this first?! This element represents the inherent tendency towards stratified systems, power dynamics, and the pecking order of things. Hierarchy is the cosmic yearning for dominance, the unwavering drive for some to rise above others. It's beautiful, terrifying, and utterly predictable, in retrospect. — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Aeturnum 12, Ignis 14
