TOUCHSTONE
DATABASE
– The history of all known recorded events as established in a
protected RAM bank by the Meridian Project Team at the outset of their project.
This data is thought to define events native to the Prime Meridian, prior to
the first opening of the continuum on the team’s initial time mission. This
data is often used as a reference to indicate a variation in time has occurred
when the
Golem
search modules fetch resonance information that conflicts
with that in the database.

TRANSFORMATION
– Any change in a
Time Meridian
that alters a future
Temporal
Condition
.

TRANSFORMER
– A person who causes a
Transformation
.

VANISHING POINT
–
The exact moment in Time
when an object is removed and transported elsewhere in the continuum.

VARIATION
– A subtle change in a
Time Meridian
that does not significantly alter
Temporal
Conditions
.

WEIGHT OF
OPINION
- The culmination and likely
outcome of future events as a result of a potential
transformation
, as
perceived and reported by the Golem search cloud.

WILLFUL EVENT
– Events resulting from decisions or actions taken by human beings

ZOMBIE
– The
walking dead. A person, fated to die, but whose life has been spared due to a
willful intervention in a Time Meridian. Paradox will allow the elimination of
a Zombie by restoring the moment of his natural death to the continuum.
