I. GENERAL INFORMATION



THE AEOS DIVISION is a newly created subdivision within THE SILPH COMPANY. in response to the information divulged by maldacena in CYBERCHASE CONUNDRUM, the company has spared no expense in recruiting scientist to assist in their ANOMALY ERADICATION OPERATIONS STRATEGY.
[break][break]

this group’s purpose is to serve as a narrative tool to explore hoenn’s existing lore in respect to character on site. it will also serve as a refresher for past events as we revisit old story beats in an attempt to connect them to the current plotline.
[break][break]

this group is not associated with THE LEAGUE or TEAM ROCKET to provide opportunities to a new subset of characters as well as create parallel dynamics. due to some soft in-character and ooc preferences, joining requires a brief review and approval. it should be noted that most of this member group’s activities are intended to interface with other characters as we create a network of opportunities.
[break][break]

any questions and concerns should be sent to .

what is the origin point's incident?


II. FIRST ARC — WHAT IS AN ANOMALY?



THE ORIGIN POINT is the proclaimed incident that starts the end of the multiverse. no one knows what it is or if it’s even real. however, with hoenn at risk, the AEOS DIVISION won’t stand idly by! armed with limited information, they rely on the clues given to start their operation.
[break][break]


  • MEGA EVOLUTION
  • EXTRADIMENSIONAL TRAVERSAL
  • AVATARS
  • ANOMALIES


[break]
with a slew of topics to investigate, the search begins! but as they dig deeper into hoenn’s bountiful history, a question arises: what exactly is an anomaly and what constitutes as one?

[break][break]

based on their understanding of THE CLOUD, every universe has a linear path. deviations from that path, large enough to warrant a SYSTEM RESTORE, constitute as an ANOMALY. how one identifies one is still up for debate but events that go against the natural order of the timeline will be registered until we unveil more mysteries!

III. TOPICS OF INTEREST



THE FOLLOWING TOPICS can be branched out in many ways. while players can address them in any format they choose, a list of related events and characters are provided to make plotting easier. anyone listed who would not like to partake can reach out to have themselves removed. should a relevant topic become unavailable due to another player, a mod-like post will be constructed instead using public facing knowledge.
[break][break]


just because a character is not listed does not mean they are not related to that event. every topic has countless possibilities in how more information can be discovered. likewise, not all inquiries will be met with definite or even correct answers. as we navigate the possible plots and stories that arise, it is our hope that players and characters alike can discover a little more of what makes hoenn both enthralling and magical!
[break][break]

[break][break]


MEGA EVOLUTION


  • HOW DID WE GET ACCESS TO MEGA EVOLUTION?
[break]

important topics to cover is the FIRST INSTANCE OF MEGA EVOLUTION.
[break][break]

historical records point toward the REGIROCK RUINS. known explorers include , , , , , , , and .
[break][break]

likewise, the MOSSDEEP INVASION seems to hold the context of mega evolution becoming a wide spread phenomenon. those who were reported to be present include , , and lucas lane ().
[break][break]

looking into WHO DISCOVERED MEGA EVOLUTION may provide further insight. notable individuals who can probably shed more light on the subject include , , and lucas lane ().



  • WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT MEGA EVOLUTION?
[break]

it is imperative we understand MEGA EVOLUTION’S EFFECTS. ’s expertise may prove essential to understand just what this process entails. likewise, the reports of ’s involvement during the DARKEST DAY remarks on something strikingly similar but not necessarily the same.
[break][break]

but we cannot forget MEGA EVOLUTION IN THE WILD. the fact that it can happen without human involvement implies that this can be a nature phenomenon as well.



  • IS THERE OTHER MEGA EVOLUTION IN THE WORLD?
[break]

  • HOW WILL IT CONTRIBUTE TO THE ORIGIN POINT?


[break][break]


EXTRADIMENSIONAL TRAVERSAL



  • METHODS OF EXTRADIMENSIONAL TRAVERSAL
[break]

the most common method of extradimensional travel seems to be POKEMON.
[break][break]

SOLGALEO comes to mind. and may be able to speak more about the subject considering their experiences.
[break][break]

the UNOWN also seems to show such an ability. considering the amount he owns, may prove to be a viable subject matter expert should we choose to approach.
[break][break]

the other known traveler was the DARK TRIAD member known as FATHER WINTER.
[break][break]

the only other known method is through the use of PRIMAL CRYSTALS. the head scientist and should be able to elaborate in greater detail. based off reports, it is believed may have witnessed this in action during his encounter with RAYQUAZA in SOOTOPOLIS.
[break][break]

at this time, we do not know if DISTORTIONS are pockets of extradimensional travel.



  • WHERE CAN WE GO?
[break]

the first known place of travel was ULTRA SPACE. and have successful gone and made it back. GENERAL SMOHKE is actually from there.
[break][break]

recently, the league has ventured into a reality they refer to as SEA HOENN. it is believed that they made contact which is where they learned the inhabitants were hostile (AQUA ASSEMBLY PT. 2).
[break][break]

several individuals have also mentioned venturing into ALTERNATIVE WORLDS. has confided with , who has also visited such a world, during their encounter with FATHER WINTER.
[break][break]

the INTERDREAM ZONE may also be a place of travel. further investigation into the STAR SOIREE may yield information that can reinforce or take away from this theory. reports from lilycove museum claim that they too have interfaced with this dimension (RANGER RAIDS).



  • EFFECTS OF TRAVEL
[break]

[break][break]




AVATARS


  • CURRENT AVATARS
[break]

  • POSSIBLE AVATARS
[break]

  • PAST AVATARS
[break]

individuals that were once avatars but no longer seem tied to their patrons include , , , and .

[break][break]

  • ORIGIN OF AVATARS

WHAT IS AN ANOMALY?


ABSTRACT


an anomaly is an observable event that exhibits the following attributes:

  • it does not exist within a reasonable scope of plausibility
  • it has a measurable reading of causality


PLAUSIBILITY:
the degree to which something is considered believable or reasonable based on available evidence, conditions, and environmental actors.


CAUSALITY:
a metric used to measure the relationship an event has on subsequent events, where the secondary event is a consequence of the first.



EXAMPLES OF ANOMALIES AND THEIR AFTER EFFECTS


anomalies are a recent classification and subject to change as scrutiny develops within the greater scientific community. the anomaly eradication operation strategy division at silph corporation has designated the following events as anomalies:

  • the invasion and interference of characters not native to hoenn 8201
  • the composition of meteroid 99943 METENO2



NON-NATIVE ACTORS



  • MEGALOPOLANS

    megalopolans are humanoid species native to ultra space. they are denoted by the blue-tint to their skin or eyes, sharp teeth, and biological irregularities3. they hide among humans through the use of a modified shiny machine, a device used to artificially change the color palette of pokemon.

    at this time, we believe their interference in hoenn 820 to be the first observable instance of non-native actors. among them is a scientist known as jules cotillard4. we believe he is responsible for the shiny machine, the creation of type:nulls, and creating the technology for megalopolans to invade hoenn during the ultra beast war.

    from our understanding of the maldacena principle, their interaction with any universe has already infringed past our threshold of plausibility. below are the theorized events that have resulted due to the causality:



    observable fallout:

    - introduction and normalization of mega evolution and z-moves5 within the hoenn region.

    - any unique events caused by a type:null or silvally6.

    - any unique events caused by the blacephalon found at the slateport night market7.

    - the awakening and introduction of kyogre8 into hoenn's ecosystem.

    - the awakening of an unidentified pokemon9.

    - economic growth of infinity industries.

    - the introduction of necrozma10 and ultimately the darkest day in galar11.




  • DRK TRIAD

    the DRK TRIAD is an organization that self-policies universes in an attempt to prevent a multiversal disaster known as the origin point.

    their members are noted for their uniforms, ability to warp, and extensive use of the unown.

    they are directly responsible for the dome around hoenn12 as well as meteoroid 99943 METENO.




    observable fallout:

    - the introduction and threat of 99943 METENO.

    - death of bronwen llewellyn and moltres13.

    - disappearance of regidrago14.

    - any unique events caused by pokemon born from the hatchery15.

    - the frozen subsection of oldale town known as the silent icelands16.

    - introduction and normalization of the terastal phenomenon17 within the hoenn region.

    - introduction of dimensional rifts known as the wilds18.




composition of 99943 METENO



it is important to note that the composition of 99943 was identified by a member of the DRK TRIAD. the application of this term serves as a base of understanding and reinforces consistent nomenclature going forward.

during the league operation to warp METENO into sea!hoenn, it was discovered that the meteorite consisted of different materials. among these minerals was an impenetrable vein that allowed pokemon to undergo the terastal phenomenon. this was beyond the expectation of the DRK TRIAD19, the party responsible for METENO, leading us to believe that the specific meteoroid existed outside of their own realm of plausibility.

further observation during the operation reveals the DRK TRIAD members attempted to only warp away this specific mineral. therefore, we conclude that its introduction to the hoenn system is congruent with their own observation of an anomaly.

at this time, it is believed that this mineral is also responsible for the rifts that connect hoenn 820 to pockets of ultra space. we will continue to observe this phenomenon as we measure its causality.

THE MALDACENA PRINCIPLE


ABSTRACT


According to the Maldacena Principle, an action or event’s causality is proportional to a universe’s divergence. In order for a universe to diverge, its causality must expand at a rate faster than the universe can contain. At this point, a universe is considered mature enough to splinter off from each other, similar to cell division observed in living organisms.

CAUSALITY:
a metric used to measure the relationship an event has on subsequent events, where the secondary event is a consequence of the first.


CAUSALITY’S RELATIONSHIP TO THE MULTIVERSE


Popularized by science fiction, the most conventional multiverse theories are based around the assumption that every choice or action has an equivalent variation.

For example, in the thought experiment: Schrodinger’s Meowth1, the Meowth is considered both alive and dead before we open the pokeball. As soon as we open the pokeball, the two possibilities collapse into one and we see the Meowth is either dead or alive.

In most multiverse theories, there is a universe where the Meowth is alive and one where the Meowth is dead. This variation and the constant potential for variations expand infinitely, creating a multiverse of endless possibilities.

However, we know this to be false at our current level of observation. The energy necessary to continuously create and maintain such universes while maintaining respect to scale is impossible. The constant divergence of universes would require an equal amount of universal deaths, with a rate that increases as universes mature. Eventually, a universe would cease to exist the moment it is created.

An energy transfer of that magnitude would be observable across multiple universes that have reached an equivalent technological level of our own2.


MALDACENA PRINCIPLE IN PRACTICE


The Maldacena Principle explains that not any event may trigger a universal divergence. A universe must accumulate sufficient causality. Notable examples include:

  • Sea!Hoenn3
  • Land!Hoenn4
  • Frozen!Hoenn5

To contextualize this principle:

Commissioner Dahlia Goode, wakes up and decides to have a Pecha berry for breakfast instead of an Oran. This event's causality is considered low due to the impact it has against the universe at large.

Even an event as disconcerting as the death of an individual does not generate enough causality on its own. Whether it is Hoenn’s former champion, Bailey Cooper, or Hoenn’s current champion, Kyle Lopez, who dies during the Ultra Beast War, as long as the Megalopolan invasion is repelled, proceeding events follow a structured timeline that allows for a specific amount of causality. However, should their death impact the Ultra Beast War enough that the Megalopolan invasion is successful, this event causes a significant amount of causality to attribute to a universe’s divergence6.

Based on our observations of notable universes, we can assume the following causative events:

  • Sea!Hoenn

    Events led to Kyogre defeating Groudon and/or Rayquaza. As a result, Kyogre flooded Hoenn and caused several subsequent events including but not limited to the unique traits of Sea!Hoenn humanoids and their avatar-like abilities7.


  • Land!Hoenn

    Events led to Groudon defeating Kyogre and/or Rayquaza. As a result, Groudon caused the land masses to rise, drastically changing the climate and any notable subsequent events afterwards8.



Currently, our understanding of Ultra Space designates it as another plane of existence rather than a universe9. It may impact a universe’s causality but it does not inherently carry its own.


PRIVATE NOTE: ORIGIN POINT?



Understanding the Maldacena Principle is integral to our understanding of universe 820 and its role in the greater multiverse. A prevailing hypothesis is that if a universe generates too much causality, whether it be faster than alternative universes can be created, or beyond what a universe can contain, that universe will suffer an early death.

A contingency known as The Cloud is meant to record a universe’s course of action and set a restoration point should a universe extend past an accepted measure of causality10. Restoring a universe would work similar to the digital equivalent it is named. From there, the universe may replace its structured timeline in a different manner in respect to the nature of freewill or by the actions of an outside source.

The introduction of these outside sources, which are not plausible within a universe otherwise, are known as anomalies.






UPDATE — DECEMBER 2023



This paper is under review due to the discovery of the RKS Simulation.
