You attempt to define "WAAAAAAGH", but do not use any information to define it.  Therefore, "WAAAAAAAGH" is only given the automatic definition of an aspect of existence named "WAAAGH".

The same happens with "Forum Game".

You briefly wonder whether you may have formulated those concepts as requests to an entity.  How bizarre;  there are no defined entities in this reality, let alone ones capable of definition!

You then define the representation of ORDER and CHAOS as anthromorphic, and like yourself.  You therefore give it the ability to think, and the ability to express concepts and communicate with you.

A concept drifts from it to you, through the blankness of the undefined infinity between you.

A slight tinge of annoyance is expressed by the being.

"Then what?  And why so vague?  So blank?  Why so little definition?  No dodging, solely responsible and capable of answer."#

Before answering, you define why as a way of defining purpose.

The entity expresses interest and annoyance.

"Definition of clause as method of definition?  Sloppy;  two seperate meanings of "definition".  And unnecessary;  why aleady defined as part of your aspect."

Shoot a fizzle of light at the vaguely threatening entity.

You attempt to smite the entity, only to find that smiting is undefined.  Nothing happens.

The same occurs upon attempting to shoot a fizzle of light;  the functions of light and fizzling are undefined, and as such have only undefined properties and effects.

In reply to your question and attempted attacks, the entity grunts angrily.

"Lack of purpose, incompetent wielding of incredible power, and attempts at violence.  Annoying, and slightly dissapointing.  Not to mention insulting.  Most powerful entity is incapable of even destroying a powerless entity they themselves defined.

PROTIP, idiot entity of so-called logic:  in undefined, unusable, unstable reality, defining concepts and grounding them very useful.   Vital to progress, even."


The entity proceeds to express a feeling extreme annoyance and sorrow.

"Foolish being did not even define my relation towards them, leaving me in flux.  Fitting."

As you define existence more closely, the entity gives a grudging expression of approval.

"Like that.  Continue.  Define undefined reality;  surroundings, nature, perhaps even physical existence.  Please."

Point out that nothing is a defined concept, and therefore smiting cannot do nothing.

You note that nothing was partially defined as an inital axiom of your logical aspect;  certain definitions came prepackaged with it, which allow for thought to exist at all.

>Define trees and earth so as to begin defining surroundings. Then define our relationship with the entity as... Well, just for kicks define love and then define the entity's relationship with us as a loving one.
