The Thirty-Third Movement
The Age of Ever-Growing Meaning
The question that ended the Thirty-Second Movement echoed across countless civilizations:
If meaningful choice is the key to eternal awareness…
can meaning itself evolve forever?
For a long time, no one knew.
Many believed that meaning eventually stabilizes — that once a being discovers purpose, nothing more is required.
Others suspected that meaning must keep expanding, or consciousness would stagnate once again.
It soon became clear this was not a philosophical curiosity.
Entire civilizations were beginning to split down two paths:
worlds where meaning remained fixed
worlds where meaning continued transforming
This divergence created the Thirty-Third Movement.
Phase One — The Worlds of Fixed Meaning
Many societies embraced the idea that once a being found purpose, it should remain stable.
This approach worked at first:
Individuals became confident
Societies became predictable
Harmony became effortless
