Fine Structure: The Story So Far
There's a new Fine Structure story up, called The Story So Far. Go read it. Actually, there's another one that I never got round to posting about, called Failure Mode, which is... rather moving, actually. Great stuff.

Anyway, the missing story has now been revealed, and I was right! Ph34r my l33t story-prediction sk1llz!!!

Perhaps most interestingly, this (and Sam's announcement in the comments section of TSSF) mean that Being God is a Big Responsibility isn't part of FS. So we can rule out all the theories about the world being a quantum simulation. Though something of the layered universe concept seems to have survived.

I'm not going to write too much now, because I have a hangover. But I think there'd be some benefit to thinking harder about the fictional physics - I definitely should have spotted the "superlight" connection. I think there may be more insights to come from that source.

There's now a comments system on the Fine Structure pages themselves, which I suspect will largely replace the discussions here. Please continue to comment on my posts if you want, though! I'm hoping someone else will start blogging in depth about FS. Maybe we need a Fine Structure wiki? An E2 node?
