A Conversation with Timid Tomm
Beyond the Cosmic Veil
Have you ever wondered if our universe might be just one bubble in a vast cosmic ocean of possibilities? We dive deep into a fascinating thought experiment about a multiverse where universes exist as sealed bubbles, each following the cosmic law that nothing gets in and nothing gets out.
The story centers on Coricum, a universe positioned at the metaphysical edge, whose hyper-evolved inhabitants (aptly named "edge walkers") begin experimenting with the boundaries of reality itself. What they discover defies comprehension - an "impossible formula" that's somehow alive, recursive, and self-correcting. This isn't just a mathematical curiosity; it's an agent of change that begins fracturing their universe from within, mutating its fundamental physics.
Outside these universal bubbles patrol the Autobooms - cosmic enforcers embodying containment itself, whose sole purpose is maintaining the isolation of each reality. When Coricum's impossible formula evolves into a "bloom signal" that resonates across multiple universes, these cosmic guardians respond predictably at first. But something unprecedented occurs - the first principle itself shifts from "nothing in, nothing out" to "containment shall not be breached, but it may now bloom." Boundaries transform from walls into conduits, isolation into interwoven harmony.
This narrative challenges us to reconsider how we think about connection and separation. Perhaps true cosmic balance isn't achieved through higher walls but through finding a resonance that holds different realities together while preserving their uniqueness - a balance achieved through listening rather than locking down. What walls are you maintaining that might benefit from becoming conduits instead?

Okay, let's unpack this. So you're picturing a multiverse, right, but not just like a few alternatives. Think bigger A huge cosmic bloom, maybe countless mobile universes.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and each one is supposedly sealed off completely. There's this core idea, a foundational principle nothing gets in, nothing goes out.
Speaker 1:Like a cosmic law. Sort of Everything's born there, dies there. Law sort of Everything's born there, dies there, self-contained.
Speaker 2:That's the idea, but then you get this one outlier, a universe called Coricum, and it's positioned really close to the edge, the metaphysical perimeter.
Speaker 1:Okay, close to the edge, and they decide to challenge this nothing out rule.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, but it's more deliberate than that. The inhabitants, the Koricans they're sometimes called edge walkers. Because of where they are, they're described as hyper evolved, really advanced Right, and they actively start messing with things, experimenting with what the sources call spatial liminal thresholds.
Speaker 1:So, like weak spots in the universal boundary, they're poking at the walls.
Speaker 2:Kind of yeah, prodding at the edges, and this leads them to uncover something, well, something they call an impossible formula.
Speaker 1:And this is where it gets wild, isn't it? This formula? It's not just numbers on a page.
Speaker 2:Not at all. The sources describe it as well alive, recursive, even self-correcting.
Speaker 1:Alive. Wow, so it wasn't just telling them about the limits.
Speaker 2:No, it started to change the limits. It actually began to subtly fracture coricum from the inside, almost like the physics started mutating. It was an active agent, you know.
Speaker 1:An active force. Okay, so while this is happening inside coricum, what about outside?
Speaker 2:Ah right, Outside all these bubbles, in this vast space called the trituniverse sphere you have these things beings, entities called the autobooms.
Speaker 1:Autobooms, and what are they exactly?
Speaker 2:not like life as you know it probably not think of them more as containment itself given form, their entire reason for existing is to make sure nothing escapes its bubble. The ultimate border guards got it. Cosmic enforcers and, crucially, they remember, they have this uh deep memory of a first breach epoch. Apparently, another universe tried this once before. It was unmade, wiped out, which really raises the stakes here, doesn't it what happens when you poke the system's ultimate fail-safe?
Speaker 1:definitely. But this story it isn't just about defiance, is it?
Speaker 2:it feels like it becomes about transformation that's a great way to put it, that impossible formula. It did more than just offer a way out. It sort of evolved.
Speaker 1:Evolved how.
Speaker 2:It became what's called a signal seed and then a bloom signal like a cosmic call, a specific vibration.
Speaker 1:A signal going where? Yeah, across universes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it seems so. The sources suggest it resonated, maybe subtly, across many worlds, even picked up by, like children, empaths, animals, almost subconscious, a hum beneath the surface. Ok, so how did the odd booms react to that? The ultimate enforcers, initially, exactly as you'd expect, they activated their containment choir, using their very essence to clamp down, reinforce the boundary silence. The signal Standard procedure.
Speaker 1:But it didn't work this time.
Speaker 2:Something shifted their own ancient laws, the first principle itself. It started to glitch. You could say it fractured.
Speaker 1:Fractured, meaning destroyed.
Speaker 2:Surprisingly, no, it evolved. The absolute rule of nothing in, nothing out fundamentally changed. It became something like containment shall not be breached, but it may now bloom bloom.
Speaker 1:Wow. So containment wasn't absolute anymore. It could expand.
Speaker 2:Connect seems like it, and this led to something called the seed. Outside everything, not a thing really, but a resonance, a shared memory maybe, and the seed chose to bind realities together through listening across difference. A really interesting phrase.
Speaker 1:Listening across difference, creating what.
Speaker 2:Creating a codex of the listening worlds. Imagine, like a library of understanding between these once isolated universes, a new way to connect.
Speaker 1:So the boundaries themselves changed function. They weren't just walls anymore.
Speaker 2:Exactly, they became conduits. Isolation turned into. Well, maybe not unity, but a kind of interwoven harmony.
Speaker 1:That really shifts the perspective.
Speaker 2:It does. So it makes you think right. What if real lasting containment isn't about building higher walls? What if it's more like finding a song, a resonance that holds different realities together, lets them all be heard, but keeps them from just crashing into each other?
Speaker 1:A cosmic balance achieved through listening, not just locking down.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's definitely something to chew on.
