Zimmy laughed at this.

Are we about to get some new info on the nature of magic in the Gunnerverse? I have a feeling Zimmyzims is gonna give us indications that the laws of physics are more or less a subset of Aetheric Law, rather than a parallel.

My bet is on "any sufficient advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Doesnt explain the ether realm or the psychopomps though. I cant wrap my head around them being just very sophisticated machines.
Unless everyone is in the matrix, at which point the comic would have jumped the shark.

I wonder if I should necro the "what is magic" discussion thread.

How about: "Any sufficiently regularized magic is indistinguishable from science"? |

Yeah, here's to hoping this time Zimy will say something a bit more interesting than "depends" / Annie will probe until something interesting is spilled. Two fakeouts in four pages would be pretty annoying.

All news outlets have some bias. As long as you understand their bias, you can take their info with the appropriate grain of salt(or multiple grains or ignore it out right). I'm guessing Zimmy's next insight will be biased, in her special way of seeing the world, but also very informative. As long as we take it with the right grain of salt, it could be fantastic. *knocks on wood*

I think that the proper verb/noun to write this dialogue down would be:
"HAHAHAHAHA" Zimmy let go a hearty guffaw. "Magic," she chortled.

Annie has a point. Why would Kat be freaked out about alternate universes, when she lives in a universe where ghosts, magic shadows, etc. are real? If anything, alternate universes should be more scientific than the rest, because of quantum physics. It could be that Kat isn't freaked out about the science. She's freaked out about "what hath science wrought" - two Annies, neither of which is apparently "her" Annie. At the beginning of this chapter, she scanned the Annies. She's trying to figure out something. |

GC reality is consensual, so, from Zimmy's perspective as someone that can bend reality, magic and everything else are exactly the same.

Do you believe in magic, in a young girl's heart? Not if the girl is Zimmy, apparently. I guess, you're not a wizard, Annie. Maybe it's psychological stuff all the way down..? This is all inside someone's head? Jones is a projection of people's desire for materialism to be true? Lots of ways for ether stuff not to be 'magic'. But I wonder which it is. Maybe it's just that the concept is absurd given what Zimmy has experienced.

katerina and her struggle to collapse her friend's particle-wave function Indeed! Except Kat has to deal with two or three interfering wave functions, and must collapse them all back into their own correct time-stream. Tricky, even for an advanced quantum mechanic... |

That is true! Will probably be brought up later, just when we all have forgotten that. |

Annie has already given some thought to which part of this is troubling Kat so much. She's not as oblivious as Paz believes, even though she clearly didn't know how bad it was (not surprising, given how evasive Kat has been with her lately)

Guessing Kat is acting weird because Kat has a bit of a controlling streak and doesn't like it when her "make everything boring" powers won't let her fix things. Also, was the whole situation with the paralegal ghost one of the first times Kat's powers haven't kicked in? Or was she seeing a teenager with a clipboard and an ancient old dude speaking in tongues? Double also, girl just created an actual living soul out of a robot - becoming a god takes some time to handle emotionally.
Also guessing Zimmy is super dismissive of magic on account of it's just a bunch of goofs fooling themselves into thinking they can control the ether.

Kat's powers don't make everything boring, just the stuff that's actually intended to act as " smoke and mirrors" (so far, the ROTD and Diego's obfuscating labyrinth). In other words, she doesn't have an Anti-Magic Field around her all the time, just a True Seeing effect. For instance, she may have seen through all of the ROTD creepshow shenanigans, but the psychopomps like Ankou still look just like themselves to her. |
