Huge creatures filled my perception.
Hm.
Huge creatures, or are you tiny?
Could Taylor have accidentally wound up looking from a bug’s perspective, or something like that?
It was hard to say how I knew they were two different creatures, when each of them existed in multiple parallel spaces all at once.
Oh cod. That’s why it’s like remembering something profound she’d forgotten – we’re getting into Karahindiba territory, and it seems Miss Militia was right in guessing that others had also seen similar things but forgotten.
But why is Taylor remembering this now of all times? Or is it legitimately happening again, and she’s remembering because she’s reminded? If that’s the case, she might forget again afterwards.
Countless mirror moved in sync with one another, each occupying the same space, just as solid as the others, differing in how they moved and the worlds they interacted with.
On some level Taylor might just be bringing up the worlds because that’s the best way she knows to describe it, but we do know for a fact that alternate realities are a thing in Worm. We’ve literally had the Undersiders casually watching movies from another world, implied to be almost entirely like ours.
So it’s entirely possible that Karahindiba and its like are literally between worlds, able to choose which ones to interact with at any given time. That would explain how they can appear gradually out of nowhere like a sphere descending into Flatland.
Which I suppose is also a fitting comparison considering that as I reread the original description from Interlude 7, I get the sense that these beings are at least four-dimensional.
Each of them folded, unfolded, expanded and shifted without taking more or less space. I couldn’t wrap my head around it, even as I felt there was something like a pattern there.
If you treat it as a three-dimensional shadow of a 4+-dimensional being, it does make a bit more sense. There is meaning to the incomprehensibility.
