User blog comment:Madman97/The CHIM Theory: Why I don't think it exists/@comment-13446185-20131127055906

Regarding the lore, there was a few things you got wrong:

he said that Lorkhan was the first to understand this, and used this power to create Nirn

Actually Lorkhan never used CHIM he was just the first to know of its existence.

Others attributed to this power were Tiber Septim, who mantled Lorkhan with CHIM and became Talos

Tiber Septim did not mantle Lorkhan by using CHIM, it was the Enantiomorph that allowed him to do that.

I actually thought you had a pretty good argument but I won't say that I agree with you.

CHIM really isn't the "key to everything" as you say it is, that would be more the godhead I'd think. Also I wouldn't say that Vivec knows he's in a videogame rather he knows he is the creation of a dream. There is a little less 4th wall breaking than you say there is:

Basically the whole CHIM business is that you need to be able to love the entire universe to use it.

What exactly that means is that you need to realize you live in a dream, than realize that you exist while at the same time you don't exist, if you can't do this you will Zero-Sum (poof you're gone)

I AM + I AM NOT = 0

1 -1 = 0

Basically what you have to do is find an equation that allows 1 -1 to equal something that isn't 0

(I actually found out an equation that allows this)

1-1=0

=0+0+0+...

=(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+...

=1-1+1-1+1-1+...

=1+(-1+1)+(-1+1)+(-1+1)+...

=1+0+0+0+...

1-1=1

Once you do this you realize that everything is one being and you can love everything

(Enjoy your CHIM XD)
