Amaranth

Overview

Amaranth is the singlemost inherent and absolute force within all existence; the conduit in which the entire Line to the End flows to its Ultimate conclusion. It serves as the foundational thematic through-line which all Creation is formed and to which it is inextricably and fundamentally bound. All conceptualization — whether manifested coherently, incoherently, concretely, or metaphysically — is invariably and unavoidably bound to Amaranth without exception or exemption.

The very first Source to ever come into being, Amaranth made its presence known during the Amaranth Conception; a chronological measure predating the flow of the concept of time, which ultimately marked the climactic end of the Age of A'th and its transition into the Time Before Time.

Though it must be said that the phrase "come into being" does not mean to imply that Amaranth originated conceptually at that moment. Rather, it refers to its emergence in the most literal sense; entering the boundaries of existence and physical/metaphysical reality, revealing itself to the burgeoning Imagindarium's Creation from its prior conceptual unstate within the "A'th."

Though infinitely present throughout all of Creation, Amaranth is most prominently revealed within the Trilateral Realm of Ambrosia. This Realm is often referred to by its secondary title: the "Amaranth Realm," in recognition of Amaranth's intensified presence. Alongside determining Ambrosia's internal structure, it also determines Ambrosia's external appearance, radiating as a vibrant Amaranth-hued cosmic-spiral.

Amaranth's Nature

Amaranth possesses a dual nature characterized by infinite complexity, and endless simplicity. At its ultimate maxim, Amaranth is a force within existence defined by a singular, direct purpose. This purpose is immutable and absolute. However, the perceived complexity of Amaranth arises in proportion to the degree one chooses to contemplate or dissect this sole state of conceptual being. The more one ruminates upon its essence, the more elaborate its structure appears; yet at its core, it remains unchanged; eternally pure in intent and function.

Regardless: in intentional avoidance of the conceptual, focus is to remain solely on the concrete narrative aspects of Amaranth, for it is a needed knowing when exploring any facet of Creation.

Essential Cosmology

Amaranth is the single most important and inherent force of reality underpinning the existence of Creation. Its nature is synonymous with the nature of all things within the vast structure of Imagindarium, binding existence through an intrinsic and interwoven harmony. Amaranth is the first principle of being, emerging from Imagindarium’s initial act; an event that unleashed this foundational force in a great light across the Void of Totality. From this Amaranth Conception arose the primordial and unshaped state of Creation. Woven into the fabric of all reality is a complex internal architecture composed of Amaranth-laden energies, and every aspect of Creation bears this inherent Amaranth truth.

To describe something as Amaranth is to identify it as a force, concept, or being brought forth directly by Imagindarium itself, existing in a conceptual level above or apart from the natural functions of reality that Imagindarium established. If a subject is deemed Amaranth, it signifies that its origin lies exclusively in a direct act, Intent, or Ideal of Imagindarium, without influence or causation from any other sub-derivative force. Amaranth is thus defined as that which is solely and singularly spawned by Imagindarium from beyond the bounds of the Cosmos.

This distinction places Amaranth outside of all hierarchies or classifications that most every other narrative concept is derived from within Creation itself. Amaranth is not "created" in the traditional sense, wherein it came about either from directive Intent of an individual entity, or from a process natural existence experiences. Instated, it has been brought into being not through process, but through declaration; the uttermost potent Intent and Ideal to ever manifest. It is final, unalterable in origin, and intrinsically tied to the totality of Imagindarium’s design, beyond comprehension or replication. Thus, anything deemed Amaranth exists as a fundamental aberration; yet profoundly harmonized with the metaphysical structure it was imposed upon.

Amaranth's Objectivity

As the force by which all of Creation is unified, Amaranth stands as the ultimate expression of total objectivity within the universe. It is the inherent force within all that Imagindarium has ever created, rendering Amaranth as objectivity incarnate. All things exist precisely as they are, under every conceivable metric of understanding, by virtue of Imagindarium embedding its objective truth into the narrative structure of reality.

Amaranth permeates every aspect of this crafted tale — one of enduring conflict toward an Ultimate End — its unifying energy embodying this omnipresent theme. It serves as the complete and unambiguous representation of Imagindarium’s essence. Within the parameters of absolute objectivity, there exists no room for interpretation; this state is fixed and immutable, sustained throughout the entirety of time’s continuance.

Amaranth as a force in of itself is ultimately immutable and cannot be altered in any way. However; the manner in which it interacts with that which originates from it is dependent upon how the respective subject responds to its objective presence. While Amaranth remains unchanged from the moment of the Amaranth Conception — when Imagindarium's Intent first brought it into being — its expression within Creation conforms to the structural laws established thereafter.

Once engaged by the emergent concepts of the universe, Amaranth functions in alignment with those laws, maintaining its role as the binding force of objective existence. Any apparent transformation it undergoes is not a change in Amaranth itself, but rather a consistent reaction shaped to match the form and nature of the concept it is interfacing with. In every instance, Amaranth presents itself as the objective truth of the reality it inhabits, reflecting the unchanging essence of its origin through the specific context of what it permeates.

Color Objective

In addition to its nature as an omnipotent and omnipresent cosmic force, Amaranth is also a color; one of the very few not defined by Creation’s Chromatic Spectrum. Contrary to conventional perception, Amaranth, though it appears as a reddish-pink hue, is not classified as a shade of red. It does not exist within the Sub-Chroma of Scarlet, Vermilion, or any derivative thereof. Rather, it is more accurate to state that red is a component of Amaranth, or more precisely, that red is derived from Amaranth.

The Chroma-Sphere, which encompasses the collective hues of red, holds an ontological function similar to that of Amaranth, though within a more limited scope of dominion. Within this spectrum, Scarlet and Vermilion represent the two poles of conceptual certainty; defining the physical and metaphysical stimuli perceived by the observer to make it coherent in the Line to the End. These hues manifest in a manner intrinsic to the nature of what they are intended to express, operating according to the inherent logic of their chromatic essence.

By contrast: Amaranth requires no such perception to enact its function within Creation. It is the defining force behind perception, function, manifestation, and even the very framework of Creation into which it projects itself. Amaranth is not shaped by observation; it is the origin of all that is observed, and even the act of observation which started the metaphoric exercise.

Amaranth's Function

As stated above: Amaranth was both the first conceptual force to come into being and the sole force inherently intrinsic to the ontological makeup of every entity across all layers of existence. However, Amaranth does not exist solely to bring reality into being. In fact — rather paradoxically — its ultimate purpose is directed toward achieving the opposite of existence: the realization of an Ultimate End, wherein all things — "A'th" — Imagindarium — even Amaranth itself — all of it are guided to conceptually and narratively dissolve from the hierarchical macrocosm of the conceptual universe.

In respect to this function; the presence of Amaranth energy contained within a concept, force, or entity functions as a metric of total objectivity in relation to that entity’s significance to the fulfillment of the Ultimate End. The objective importance of any creation within Imagindarium’s design is determined solely by the concentration of Amaranth energies comprising its spatial and existential structure within the universe.

Entities of critical relevance to the realization of the Ultimate End are saturated with Amaranth to such a degree that they often manifest visibly in the Amaranth hue or bear the name Amaranth within their designation. Conversely, those of lesser significance to the unfolding and completion of the Ultimate End possess only minimal traces of presently-active Amaranth, reflecting their diminished role in the overarching narrative of finality. For example: the concept of death — being essential to the Line to the End — bears a far more concentrated manifestation of Amaranth than a lesser entity, such as a species of amoeba in the Haven seas.

However; all things within reality — regardless of their nature or their significance to the Line to the End — contain an infinite quantity of Amaranth, each instance localized into a state of personal omnipresence. Rather it is the degree to which Amaranth reveals itself against the backdrop of Creation’s standard causal framework, however, is contingent upon the specific concept, force, or entity in question. Its manifestation varies in accordance with the contextual nature of what is being observed, though its presence remains constant and absolute. The difference ultimately lies in activation. If an entity is designed to fulfill only a singular purpose rather than multiple or expansive roles, the infinite Amaranth within it remains largely inert. Thus, potency is a matter of relevance, not measure.

A defining facet of Imagindarium’s Creation is the total objective coherency shared between all physical, conceptual, and mechanical elements of existence. In this structure, there is no fundamental distinction in reality between a tangible object, such as a planet, and an abstract notion, such as the concept of hatred for example. Both are equally real, differentiated only by the state and function they serve within the universe, as each is equally inherent to the totality of existence.

In this respect; Amaranth is the force that establishes and sustains this parity. It is the binding coherence that allows all forms — whether concrete or abstract — to hold equal ontological validity. Within the deepest conceptual strata of every entity, force, or idea lies the flowing essence of Amaranth, likened to a life-blood coursing through the foundational structure of reality, sustaining the cosmic language from which all was spoken into being.

When it is said that "all things are united under Amaranth," it means that all are equal in the truth that Amaranth is embedded within their very conceptual makeup. Though Amaranth reveals itself more vividly in some forms than in others, all are equally suffused with its infinite presence. The unity of Creation lies not in uniform expression, but in the shared foundation of Amaranth Truth contained within all.
