>>33481760>entering the conceptual threads that they themselves are pulling fromThe catalog is not the conceptual realm. It's the dimension that transports the energy from it. The conceptual power line.
Imagine the physical world being flesh, the Catalog is the vessels that deliver the nourishment the flesh needs.
Threads are actual connections to the physical world. Enter this one, you end up in /2434/, enter that one, you'll end up in /ggg/. Like the actual catalog on this site.
>How does one actually enter the CatalogI've not done with the ritual yet but it requires extreme expenditure of chuubanite.
The explanation I'm going for this goes back to the flesh analogy. Osmosis. Concentration goes from highest to lowest, energy goes from the highest state the ground state.
Similar to how particle accelerators can create mini-black holes. Use up so much chuubanite, the area becomes concentrated with vitubium. The Catalog opens up to do 'osmosis' and take back excess energy. It'll create a 'reverse thread' where instead of delivering something from the Catalog to the physical world, it takes something from the physical and drags it in. Including people and objects.
The process isn't obscure/forbidden knowledge. Plenty have tried. The Corpse of Monoe being littered with artifacts is proof that people attempted to throw objects into it.
But doing it is dangerous.
>could a Catalognaut accidentally enter the Catalog physically while drawing in Magic QuantaNo. That would be like your faucet suddenly imploding back into the reservoir, or your router getting absorbed into the cables.
>>33481880>does each "position" in the catalog correlate to a "position" in VitubiaNo. It's similar to how threads in our catalog works. The ones that get energy travel farther and faster, the ones that don't stay static and descend.
Compass directions do not work. You know those Scooby-Doo chase scenes? Take that but replace doors with portals.
>What is the process for leaving the catalog and returning home safelyJust enter a thread. Simple as.
You'll be ejected to wherever region that thread is delivering energy to chuubanite
>Feel free to not answer if that is spoilersNo worries, these aren't spoilers. I've kinda wrote down some in the story. But I guess the comprehension might got lost.
