Cosmic Force Taxonomy

SystemRPG: Cosmic Force Taxonomy

Divine
- Origin: Higher-dimensional currents embodying moral order, alignment polarity, and conceptual authority.
- Nature: Personified through gods, celestials, and faith-born entities.
- Expression: Miracles, vows, holy domains, alignment economies.
- Axis Affinity: AL↑, LR↑, AP→.
Arcane
- Origin: Abstract, structural energy of pure law and pattern, the “syntax” of reality itself.
- Nature: Harnessed through symbols, correspondences, and intellect.
- Expression: Spellcraft, runes, binding rituals, aether constructs.
- Axis Affinity: LR↑, AP variable, CV→.
Primal / Primordial
- Origin: Wild and elemental higher-dimensional flows, the untamed substrate of existence.
- Nature: Channeled through nature, spirit, elemental lords, and ancient beings of earth/sea/sky.
- Expression: Elemental dominion, natural cycles, spiritual embodiment.
- Axis Affinity: EB extreme, TG skew, AP↑.

Void (Elder Things)
- Nature: Insulation/negation predating structured reality.
- Role: Internal anti-substrate within the Tapestry.
- Beings: Voidborn, finite but alien, defined by absence.
- Axis Signature: OD→0, LR→0.
Nether (Beyonders)
- Nature: Absolute outside, predating and devouring realities.
- Role: Meta-external hunger, consuming timelines/planes.
- Beings: Netherborn, incomprehensible devourers beyond creation.
- Axis Signature: Not measurable—lies outside Tapestry coordinates.

Category	Origin	Nature	Expression	Axis Affinity
Divine	Higher-order moral authority	Gods, celestials, faith	Miracles, vows, domains	AL↑, LR↑
Arcane	Law/pattern syntax	Scholars, runes, spellcraft	Structured magic, constructs	LR↑, AP variable
Primal	Elemental/substrate forces	Elemental lords, spirits, wild	Nature, cycles, raw power	EB extreme, TG skew
Void (Elder)	Pre-reality insulation	Voidborn	Negation, absence	OD→0, LR→0
Nether (Bey)	Beyond all reality	Netherborn	Consumption, unraveling	Outside scale

Divine, Arcane, Primordial = the three great cosmic energy streams within the Tapestry, accessible through forks of the System.
Void, Nether = otherness categories, pre-dating and external to the Tapestry; not energies but existential states.
System’s Role: Integrates Divine, Arcane, and Primordial flows into forks (Divine overlays, Arcane spell-logic, Primordial elemental domains). Maintains vigilance against Void intrusions and Nether incursions.
