As a little spinfoil, let's say the Darkness is not paracausal, it's mathematics. The simplest of mathematics. The minimum vertices of a 2D shape are 3, triangle, and when the Nine, balancing out the infinitely complex nature of the Traveller and the simplicity of the Dark, are multiplied by min vertices, the simplicity, by itself, 3 x 3. A pyramid is simple on a geometric plane, and when 3 is fractally multiplied by itself, an infinite loop of multiplication to 9. Mathematical meaning. This connects with my bigger spinfoil mess on all sorts of stuff, [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/263752130?sort=0&page=0[/url].
