(I must re-read SoD. I have tried to read all four of the SoD books, but sometimes the science bits 'woosh' over my head. :( What is Stryme's Directionless Law?)

Stryme's Directionless Law => Wa, Cripple

(... he of the famous Floating Craps game -- one of my favourite scenes in "Mort". :) "We had a wizard try to get rich once, didn't we boys? We had to give him ... a talking-to.") ;)

It's on the Discworld part. The Project happened, and one day Hex would incerase its conceptual capacity. 'If this could ever happen, then - according to Stryme's Directionless Law-- there was already a shape in happening-space, where time did not exist, caused by the fact of that happening; all that was required was a virtual collapse of the wave form; ...and, although this was in a very strict sense garbage, it was not complete garbage. Any answer that would exist somewhere in the future must, inevitably, be available in potentia now."
