Time - WIP (maybe non canon?)

Time is a byproduct of Gardener shattering that serves as a vessel or force to compel or transport shards toward one another to make the Gardener anew. Linear time is the observable force resulting from the need for shards to reunite, but without intentionality. Since the Gardener by nature needs to be rebuilt but is inherently the inverse of intentionality, time is the purest vessel to return the shards to one another, the thinking being the shards will cross paths as eventualities over the massive timeline. Linear time doesn't exist equally across the universe;  notably the Bog still displays many space time characteristics of a universe with an unshattered Gardener.

Some have posited that the intrinsic power of the shards routinely find them at the center of momentous events in the current “reformation cycle” that they occupy.

''In my dream I was a vengeful destroyer, I shattered a beautiful persimmon tree made of ice, the pieces fell to the earth and melted to water, the trinity suns evaporated the water into steam that hovered above and then fell as a gentle rain, from the earth regrew the tree...did I see the cycle of all life and time and things? Does their need to be destruction for all to be? Knowing this would I shatter it again, just to see if this time it would it fall as snow?''


 * Drub, from the ‘Drub Scrolls’  reflections on time and shards

Scholarly interpretation of this excerpt from the Drub scrolls have inferred that Drub’s reference to the “trinity Suns” is an allusion to the first atomic bomb test. Suggesting a vital part of the reformation cycle involves a descendant being learning to split the atom. Some unseen aspect of atom splitting or nuclear explosions may expedite or play some role in reformation.
