Interesting....but no. Though it isn't "dumb". The only fault I find with it is that you're trying to put to much importance on the role of Fundament. That planet was important to the Hive...it was almost certainly just another battle between Light and Dark. Among many others. The "game" between the Gardener and the Winnower is basically symbolic. Their game is basically "Natural Selection". That Life sciences notion evolution progresses by Survival of the Fittest. Life competes for survival, and those with the characteristics that give them the advantage at surviving and reproducing pass on their traits to the next generation....and Nature slowly refines those characteristics. The Gardener got bored because if that is the defining principle, then you always wind up with the life form that is the most aggressive, and most capable of reproducing itself and suppressing its competitors....always wins. Sword Logic. (This isn't what happens in nature because the dance of Natural Selection is actually more complicated than that....but that's a seperate discussion) So the Gardener walked away from the game, because She wanted a different set of rules, so that a different set of outcomes became possible. What is important to take from Fundament is that this conflict between Light and Dark....between order and chaos....harmony and conflict...creation and destruction has been raging across our Universe for billions of years.... ...and may even been the reason why this particular Universe was created in the first place. What is unique about Fundament was that it was the crucible needed to create a creature was susceptible to the temptation offered by the Darkness and the Worm Gods.

  • Yeah. Probably put to much importance on the Garden. The fact that so many things related to the light and dark where there still really sticks out to me. Could just be coincidence and stuff though.
