Bubble Theory
Bubble Theory
Bubble Theory is the idea that Duela exists inside one Bubble among many possible Bubbles.
A Bubble is a contained reality or world-structure.
Basic idea
Bubbles normally cannot influence, observe, or interact with one another.
Each Bubble is separate from the others under normal conditions.
The Old God is believed to have come from another Bubble.
The Essence and Bubbles
The Essence exists inside and outside Bubbles.
New Bubbles may be created through The Essence.
This means The Essence is not merely a force inside Duela. It is part of the deeper structure that allows worlds to exist.
Transcendent godhood
It may be possible to overcome the separation between Bubbles by attaining a higher form of godhood.
This form of godhood is different from ordinary New God or Ascended God status.
One theory holds that a being must dominate so strongly within a Bubble that The Essence itself recognizes them as a god beyond that Bubble.
Writing use
Bubble Theory should usually remain mysterious.
Most mortals do not know about it.
It is useful for cosmic stories, unexplained artifacts, strange outsiders, and questions about what lies beyond Duela.
