You would think that finding the answer to everything would put me out of a job, it did not. It turns out that just because we have a cheat sheet, doesn't mean everyone is willing to read it. Once upon a time I would have mocked them for living in their own ignorance, as they mock me for the futility of it. Now? Now I envy the bastards, even if I know ten thousand reasons that they are wrong. At least they don't have to suffer through the most rewarding work immaginble.

 When we first found The Tome our job was to index it; it sounded simple enough, The Tome told us how to after all. Once we had 'successfully' acomplished our task we found a better method, through our first one. Then a third method we were only able to understand on the basis of the second. It was around the seven millionith itteration that we called it good enough, and accepted that we weren't going to index it perfectly. Our stubbornness and paychecks the only thing keeping us going for so long.

 Three hours later, we found a better way to do it. We didn't look for it, but it sure as hell showed up. And what were supposed to do, not use what is objectively better in every respect? So we used it, and the next, and the next, and the one after that, so on and so forth. I imagine we'll be using a new one tommorrow.

 More than once the idea was floated that The Tome improved itself as we did, but once we found out how to go back in time we found that we simply hadn't found it earlier until now. I say until now, because at the time we were looking at it far before reality was developed enough to support knowledge.

 Looking at the causality of our universe, or any universe really, is an indescribable sight(as of our current thread). It is breath taking to see so much laid bare, humbling, invigorating, powerful, and incredibly simplistic all in one. We found out how our universe came to be, and as it turns out, it isn't all of reality.

 When we first glimpsed outside of our universe, we comfirmed that The Tome had always been present in there as well. So we sat down, and decided not to go insane when we reached the next universe, or the one after that.

 The thing about causality and free will is that free will sets into motion the events that will inevitiably happen. Causality laughs when you think you can do something else, and yet causality can only laugh because you CAN do something else.

 We still haven't solved that one, but all things removed we decided that rape and murder were probably still bad, as them being bad defined us being good. And if The Tome was leading us to some sort of objective good, we should probably be good once we got there. Mostly we try not to think to hard about it. The one thing we do know about causaility is that it all leads to The Tome.

 We decided the 'final' thing we decided to solve was the creation of The Tome. It must have come into existence at some point, yet we can't find when The Tome defines that happening or how it could happen. Some think we are the ones who created The Tome, at some point in the future, and maybe that is true in so far as our actions enter causality and the tome pops out the other end, but we don't know how or when that will happen.

 So here I am, waiting for the inevitable that will never come, doing the work I love more than anything, and hating every second of it.
