The Lay of Vyrian
Wherefore the preface to this resistance
is true,
the Axioms of Paradise
and reason's trinities
a tower of fire defy;
and in the Days of Ascension,
seven fallen are denied.
Of their dominion
"was" an end.
Will always be until the end.
But alas! the broken come
To seal all light in the dimension of sin,
Or else to herald the end of all that there is;
and why ask why this should be?
If all is denied for the sake of three things?
But if darkness is nothing instead,
how would the darkness not come to an end?
To heaven to go,
to take a stand,
to sing the song of silence,
to pass the Test:
"Wherefore Apollyon et Ripheus*"...
*[pronounced "Rif-ae-es" to rhyme with "Test"]

"Although Armirex used the power of the Form of Evil to silence Apollyon at the terminus of the Last War, the Artificer later came to believe he had sinned in doing so [to use Evil's Form at all], and so sought to atone for his sin by awakening Apollyon at the end of time..."

The Form of Fear was a demimetric being formed around the same time as the Form of Adventure. It was believed to be a shadow of the Form of Evil in some way. It died on the Ramparts of Minos when the minotaur number stampeded from the Labyrinth into Cantor's house: the dangerous number crushed the Form in its path. The ability of the Form of Fear to be destroyed later served as an element in Armirex's equation.

The Four Adventurers: a party of four adventurers who entered Cantor's house to investigate the outcome of the minotaur number's imprisonment there. Their experience of time differentiated from that of the economies, scores of thousands of years passing outside while for the Adventurers only days or weeks wore on. At mysterious intervals, the timelines would progress at an equivalent rate and an unscrambled signal could be sent from the house to the economies. It is for this reason that the deaths of the Four are a matter of public record, as their last moments came to the economies in a signal sent when the Form of Evil ripped the part of Cantor's house in which they were located, off the overall demiplane, and smashed that part of the house into a detached chunk of another demiplane (during the First Ecomachy).

"The minotaur number had some extensions, including the zero-minotaur and minotaur-zero functions, and the Ramparts of Minos, an exotic staircase."
exotic staircases. Sequences of aleph-glyphs, in semiotic transpace, that do not proceed in only one direction out from the central glyph of an aleph-number, or which diverge for abstract reasons from the normal members of the set of Cantor's staircases. [A major subject of research in so-called staircase theory.]
