Talk:Null session

Minor point (semantics)
Just a minor thing I guess but I think we may be off on our description of what a null session actually is.

At the beginning of the article we reference Aradia as calling their session null, when her statement actually refers to it as "s00n t0 be null". A rather minor statement except the B2 session was described by Rose as being null (since it is a void session) but when the meteor and the Prospitian ship arrive it will no long be null. eg. It will go from null to not-null. Likewise the troll session went from not-null to null (going by Aradia's wording).

I think the best way to explain this would be to view any session as a closed system. Take the post-scratch troll session: As a closed system the trolls won, and created the Genesis Frog. Now view all the events after Jack entered as their own closed system. Aradia describes it as soon to be null even after Jack destroyed the door for entry into the new universe. However as a closed system the Genesis Frog was already created so it was already non-null however after Jack destroyed it the session became null because Skaia had already changed with the growth of the Genesis Frog thus making the idea of a new one impossible.

In other words a more accurate description of a null session is "A session, viewed as a closed system at a particular point in time, where creation of the Genesis Frog is impossible." Continuing to apply this to the B2 session we get: "B2 session as closed system pre-A2/B1 arrival, null", "B2 session as a closed system post-A2/B1 arrival, non-null".

I know this probably sounds a little convoluted and is mostly semantics and that I probably lack the terminology to properly explain what I mean but I am sure y'all got the gist of it so just throwing this out here. The Light6 11:37, June 12, 2012 (UTC)
