The Calamity of Truth

What is reality? Is it the mountains and rivers you see in front of you, or the breeze flowing through your fingertips? No. After the "collapse of truth," nothing is stable. The building blocks of the world are not indestructible particles, but fluid and tamperable—definitions. "Fire is hot", so it burns; "Stone is hard", so it is stable. These seemingly natural laws are nothing more than temporary consensus engraved in the collective consciousness. But there are always some people who glimpse the cracks under the consensus and hear the chords beyond the definition. They capture the "conceptual dust" that permeates the world, use will as the pen and logic as the ink to rewrite the appearance of reality. They are called Definers. The definition is power. To question the definition is the greatest sin. At this moment, the young heretic is about to step onto his burning rack, which is also his coronation stage. What he wants to challenge is one of the most unquestionable cornerstones that maintains the operation of the empire. He wants to prove to the world that even time is not what they say it is.
