Here's my translation of Chapter 8. It's not perfect, but I noticed there was no English translation on the Wiki so I did one up this afternoon. I sent my translation questions to the Trovu la Ringon Perditan Google group, so I'll modify it on the Wiki once I get a reply.


Doors and Parallel Paths Ch. 8

[Greek Letters: Agonothetai] organize synchronous labyrinths across the many worlds because they create a perfect coordination: one design, one path, and one direction.


All synchronous labyrinth runners share a single journey, experienced in perfect parallel, creating a little wave of powerful syncronousness across the many, many worlds.


This sudden explosion of syncronousness pulls the worlds more closely for time, creating a door only long enough to allow communicating and moving between them.


To create perfect parallel and synchronous contests is very challenging, and certain strength is required to ensure success.


The [Greek Letters: Dikaiosune] are responsible, during the Synchronizing Events, for measuring the time of the commencement of the contest at the precise preagreement interval of the multiple worlds.


The [Greek Letters: Mythopoeia] are responsible for creating without-means-of-coordinating reports about labyrinth training sessions and contests. These documents must include possibly the most details about the athletes and the location.


The [Greek Letters: Agonothetai], and specifically the [Greek Letters: Sophrosune] will compile and study these coordinating reports, analyzing them for details which possibly weakened or strengthened the tested in-line-ization.

Wow, cool...So this is how our athletes appeared simultaneously.

Thanks for doing the translation, Hikaro!

Surely they were trying to say 'synchronicity'

Surely one of the multiverses has discovered a way to communicate - so I hope they'll get in touch with us and not wait for us to call them.

Or maybe the folks in Perplex City can show us how it's done...

[Elizabeth123]

I, for one, can hear them when I put on my aluminum-foil hat. (They all seem to speak English, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.)

[mr.judkins]

Well, from what I've read of the multiverse theory - one possibility is the us'es from another strand may get in touch with us...

Well put Shad0.


I can't help wondering what kind of annoying invites you'd end up getting daily from MultispaceBook though...

[Chid12]

*grins*

You're absolutely right. I'm sure all will be explained. This is clearly why I'm not a mythopoeia!

[GeekDream]

I tend to agree shad0...

THere is a line in part of chapter 11 that was very hard to translate but i think has great importance...

" Human Being History

The Human being term in each decision made in one universe was done different in another. Each road taken, each door opened, each vote given, each together finished, each {eltruniis male}, was all contrary in another universe.

Based in fact on the decision which we make each human being conscience is connected to one's own road through reality. Although each possible history temporarily exists simultaneously we only have the right to ride {surunu} road. We only experience one {unuopan} version of history at a time. We design our own road through reality by means of the choices which we make. We never falter?{flankeniras} from the life we design for ourselves, But if you are at some time curious about what is going to happen if you make a different decision. If you are going the different road somewhere in the many universes other versions of you already know precisely what will happen. "

Like i said.. the code is not pretty translated.... but i believe it talks about this very fact of how 'alternate realities us'es' know what and where...

It's too much, isn't it, this multiverse, to expect our tattooed athletes to have any kind of familiarity with our reality here, when our reality is trillions of decisions away from where they came.

Unless they are separated from this reality by one important decision (the one that keeps them from already existing here) it seems like the tattooed athletes should wake up in some reality so different they can't cope. There would be so many more of those to land in.

The labyrinths must exist only in very closely related realities. There is one important decision by Theodosius, to ban the game, but could realities run parallel for centuries after that, until we get to six critical decisions that branch the parallel realities enough to have six travelers that don't exist in this reality, but everything else is the same? Ugh. the tree would have to have branched a billion ways in that time, but presumably the branches can run parallel long enough for that to happen? And the realities have to run parallel long enough after for the tattooed athletes to have any place to go back to, because while they are gone from that reality, it could branch all sorts of ways.

Is it even about a place? Or just a path?
