Description summary:
The description varies based on your current 
.
| Experimental Object | Description |
|---|---|
| 10, 910 | How does one create an effect with no cause? Can a bomb be its own fuse? |
| 20, 810, 820, 830 | The microstructure will only make sense when examined in the light of the macrostructure. |
| 30 | The coin has seven sides. But it is not a regular heptagon – the angles are ever so slightly off from exactly 1/7th of a turn. |
| 40 | If gravity begets motion, does motion beget gravity? And if so, can that principle be exploited in railway propulsion? |
| 110, 120 | The blade is not only very sharp – its shape is designed to cut flesh from bone, at the specific scale of a very large animal... |
| 130 | The pattern on the rifle is over a hundred years old now, adapted from a flintlock design. But examples made with Neathy materials have telling, distinctive features. |
| 140 - 160 | In Parabola, motive is matter. Certain calculations can only be performed in the right frame of mind, through the temporary adoption of exacting beliefs. |
| 210 | Mirrors have been known to react to cats and honey, but what is the mechanism of this reaction? What methodology could be used to study it effectively? |
| 230, 250 | If maps are treacherous, are the territories they represent any more reliable? And if not, do they have tendencies, proclivities, vices that can be predicted and exploited? |
| 240 | The task is to assemble a map, but its component pieces need not be themselves maps. They can be charts, poems, love letters, fragments from dream diaries, old palimpsests, tea stains carefully cut out from paper... |
| 310, 320, 330, 350, 360 | Can a machine manufacture laws? Can you turn an edict on a lathe, forge a commandment, smelt a taboo? |
| 410 - 485, 495, 510 - 540, 610 | What does it mean to be monstrous? Some would say it is merely an external observation, imputed onto one by others. But perhaps there is an inherent element of monstrousness; one that might be distilled, removed, or increased. |
| 920 | One thinks of railway steel as a surface on which trains ride. But perhaps it serves a dual purpose. Perhaps it means something to the earth beneath it, too – a cage? A brace? An adornment? |
| 930, 940, 950, 980, 990 | The substance is toxic, but only in some circumstances. And what metabolic changes might render it safe to consume? |
| 1010 - 1050, 1210, 1320, 1340 | The letters burn – but what's in the ash they leave behind? |
| 1350 | Someone from the Khanate – someone with considerable gifts as an artificer – made this piece out of a much, much older material. |
