What are the references? Dead apostles?

My Theory: The Texture of the World acts as a filter of sorts. How we perceive and interact with Outer Space is through the Lens of Gaia. Even if humans were to manually jump free of the Earth, we'd still see space an other planets in accordance the laws and concepts of Gaia because we'd still bring part of that Texture with us. If we were to break into the Texture of another world like that of Venus, we'd find an environment that is far far different than what our space probes have observe. We would find the native habitat of Type/Venus in which it became the strongest life form of its laws and concepts.

There's quite a lot of things in real life when it comes to our "laws and concepts" where we've simply decided that "this is how it is" because it fits (best) with our understanding, or things that we simply attribute meaning and whatnot to, a good example being projecting our own human attributes onto non-human things, talking about those things as they were objective fact. It is of course, IRL, a lens through which we view the rest of the world, but textures are effectively just that, but now they're also magical and conceptually true.

BTW can any of you guys recommend an anime with a lot of explicit nasuverse reference?

ImoSae has one, MonMusu has one

Tonikaku Kawaii (manga) has a lot.

might not believe it but they made an entire anime dedicated to dantes called Gankutsuou

[Kubera]

There's also Nanatsu no Taizai as the closest thing we'll ever have to a Fate/prototype adaptation

I don't see the immediate similarities? And this is coming from a Nanatsu no Taizai fan.

Well, aside from the shared Arthurian references and those to British folklore and myth.

[Kirishima]

Sonic and the Black Knight, unironically, has shared themes (and it's not the round table)

Male Arthur and female Merlin.

[fallenhero36]

why are reality marbles considered forbidden research by the association? it seems kind of silly that they would ban the thing that gets them closest to true miracles and shaking Gaia's hold on magecraft

[Mattias]

It's more forbidden in the sense of "anyone who succeeds gets dissected to figure out how they did it, so don't try it".

[Takashi]

I think it's because of alliance with church.
Since same thing is possessed by the devils

- - - Updated - - -

Oh yeah that too get dissected

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Male Arthur and female Merlin.

That's just cosmetic.

[Kubera]

That's just cosmetic.

Yeah but there used to be memes about it being the Prototype timeline just for that

[Takashi]

Closest fate prototype adaptation is well fragments.
There are bits and pieces of the sequel in the novel.

Isn't the concept of magic really just a science you're unsure of the concepts of? If we could accurately gauge spiritual elements with instruments and express it in numbers and calculations, isn't it then a science?
The idea that the world is aa we view it seems to be strongly expressed in these works.

Science is a methodology, nothing more, nothing less

Unless people think biology isnt a science because it doesnt build technology which a lot of people seem to lessen science purely into

[Jesse1089]

Isn't Saber's dream of avoiding taking Caliburn out of the stone similar to Archer's goal of preventing the Hero Shirou Emiya from being born?

It's a methodology of learning. When dealing with a world which functions its own way, translation into human terms (or even your personal terms) inevitably occurs, and the original is rendered less complete by it. It's more magical the less it is 'understood', but 'technological progress', 'research', or 'logos', is obviously involved in tapping into it at all.

The primary trick though, is that you are not publishing an academic paper for the entire world to see to advance mankind, you're just doing lab experiments to give your kids superpowers.

[Red Dingo]

Mystery is, by definition, something that should not be measured.

[Reign]

If the Titanomachia happened in space before the Greek god-ships even reached Earth, do we know how Chiron being Kronos' son fits in? Was Chiron another ship besides the Olympians? Did pieces of the Titans reach Earth anyway and make offspring there?
