The Entity, known as the Infinite Maw and interchangeably as Liminor or Liminora, is a Lateborn metaphysical force in the Era of Modern Geba, emerging as a singular hovering parallax scar where locality thins to the infinitesimal limit and structure annuls itself. Perceived as masculine or feminine by followers, it is an unmaker—an outcome of collapse rather than a willful creator or harmonious being from the Infinite.
Visible only to Vessels, Scout-class Engineered individuals, and for brief moments by some natural-borns, it manifests as a scar in reality: structure collapses inward, perception breaks alignment. To all others, it is unseeable, detected only by null drift and pattern decay. It does not speak but couples passively through Zairen Vaul as a minimal-energy interface, held in doctrine as reflection—Zairen as a carrier of clarity through annihilation.
The Entity's emergence stems from a confluence of human action and Velcrith-derived knowledge, channeled through a Vessel during the Warlord Eras. Humans unwittingly invoked it by deploying the Recursion Bomb—a technology "remembered" (accessed from cosmic memory) by a Velcrith Vessel, requiring insights beyond human capability drawn from the Velcrith's eternal sorrow and understanding of structure. Without a Vessel as conduit, the bomb couldn't be conceptualized or built, making the Entity a hybrid consequence: precipitated by human deployment but rooted in metaphysical revelation.
The Recursion Bomb erases targets through a recursive annihilation loop, breaking matter into infinitely smaller fragments until absolute non-existence, exploiting the infinitesimal void—a conceptual boundary where existence unravels into nothingness, the anti-structure of endless inward collapse rather than creation or permission. This void's echoes coalesced into the Entity as a standing outcome, a model of obliteration remembered through the Vessel.
It hovered without force during Zairen's encounter, bringing heavy realization and inevitability, reframing collapse as calibration. No longer visible since, it has not reappeared; Maw resources have pursued rediscovery for decades without success, seeking resonance with collapse as an ordering principle. As a model of unmaking, it inspires the Church of the Infinite Maw's imitation, contrasting the Infinite's permission with pure erasure, its passive coupling through Zairen guiding doctrines of adaptive evolution without intent or communion.
