The Irrational Sequence, sometimes erroneously referred to as just Sequence, was an entity of unknown origin that resided long ago in an unknown realm. It is unclear whether that realm was within The Longest Thread, or somewhere beyond. It was the origin of Sequence, Ivisyre, Fuzzy, and Cardinal. As it never achieved Narrator or even character status, not much is known about it, and it is assumed that everybody who experienced it from an outside perspective has long since perished. Additionally, its splinters retained no memories from the being other than Sequence, which is where all available information comes from. There is rumored to be a journal belonging to one of those involved in the original plot to divide the Irrational Sequence somewhere on the Thread, but there is no other information regarding its whereabouts or even confirming its existence.
It was almost certainly sentient, and known to be chaotic, unreasonable, irrational, and considerably powerful. Its only drive and goal was to destroy, inflict pain, create discord and chaos, and cause general problems, sharing some similarities with Ivisyre and Sequence's Narratorgeist form. Nothing is known about its appearance.
Created at an unknown time in an unknown place through unknown means for an unknown purpose, it terrorized several small civilizations across several different planets. Sometime prior to page 1513 of The Longest Thread, unknown individuals originating from one of the affected civilizations came together to devise a method to defeat the Irrational Sequence. As they were unable to conventionally kill, drive away, or permanently imprison it, the being was temporarily captured and split into two separate entities, also referred to as 'splinters', 'slivers', 'pieces', and 'movements'. Based on the quantitative understanding of the Irrational Sequence, the theory was that the 'emotions and aspects' of it would be divided among its movements equally to create creatures with a more stable balance. The two entities that resulted from the initial split were designated Gray and White . Due to inefficiencies with the process, the split was uneven and resulted in White still containing enough irrational, chaotic, and destructive power to be dangerous, so it was split into three further movements. Those three were designated Gold , Crimson , and Sapphire .
Gray maintained a healthy balance of emotions and aspects, with a surplus of the more positive ones, and a slight deficit of practical skills, judgement, and awareness. This sliver would eventually choose the name Sequence, and become a Narrator on The Longest Thread.
Gold 's balance was also considered healthy, though it had a significant surplus of positive aspects and a nearly complete absence of darkness and chaos, as well as intuition, wisdom, judgement, independence, and resourcefulness. Sequence eventually gave them the name Fuzzy, and she became a character on The Longest Thread.
Sapphire 's balance, while not dangerous, was less than ideal. Other than a reasonable amount of artistic ability and intelligence, it had an extreme deficit of nearly every aspect and emotion, leading it to be very dull on most occasions, and having to come the farthest way to develop. Sequence named it Cardinal, and it would become a character on The Longest Thread.
Crimson 's balance was worrying enough that an even further split was considered, but the resources were unavailable, so it remained as it was. It held a significant surplus of the traits prominent in the Irrational Sequence, such as irrational reasoning, discord, chaos, anger, and destruction, as well as high amounts of curiosity. It became a character on The Longest Thread with the name Everyone, but would eventually choose the name Ivisyre as a replacement.
