A Story Exploring an Intersection of Fiction and Science for the WPI Humanities Project

I wrote a set of parallel chapters fusing This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone and Amal Al-Mohtar, and The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli. Red inspires a young Carlo Rivelli to explore the meaning of time. The chapter is written as a letter in the voice of Red. Within the letter, the chronoagent inspires Rivelli to pursue the meaning of time and provide a summary of how time works. To bridge the two primary sources the chronoagent describes the Strands as a string of connections between states within the universe, each of which can be considered visually as a pair of funnels, resembling an “X.” The funnels are a representation of the probability of connections between any two states, which is the meaning of a Strand. The Braid is the collection of all the possible strands.
