DR. RATIO IS GONNA RETRACE PATAVIA’s FOOTSTEPS, AND IN DOING SO HE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE KEY TO SAVING AMPHOREUS!!!!

Spoilers for 3.3 + some leaks (I think) ANYWAYS IVE BEEN INSANE ABOUT THIS FOR ~A Whole YEAR~ so yeah I’m making a tumblr post on it (cause even if TikTok users have no attention span, I know some people on here can read at least lmao)

For starters- who the fuck is Patavia?? (The love of my life/hj)

Well, she’s an NPC from the Council of Mundanites (which she helped form) that was alive during the Scholars Strife- which was essentially a fight that almost destroyed the Intellgencia Guild due to his members arguing and even battling eachother over how the remaining Scepters from Rubert II’s empire should be divided up and used.

Now, if you played the Amphoreus quest, you’d know that the game revealed that Amphoreus itself is made by one of these scepters- one that somehow managed to escape detection by the rest of the universe, concealing itself in the fabric of space time.

Back to Patavia, the situation of the Scholar’s strife eventually leads to her discovery of “solitary waves” aka literal manifestations of Nous’s calculations. By following them throughout the universe, Patavia eventually finds something incredibly important- the heart of the Scepter system.

Inside is the throne which Rubert II crowned himself on, and is also the center of the “brain” of the scepter system- basically the main control panel. Anyways, under the watchful eye of Polka Kakamond (who’s presence Patavia is aware of), she gains the opportunity to use THE WHOLE SCEPTER SYSTEM AT ONCE.

…And potentially to no longer be a Mundanite, and to become a Genius (Rubert III).

However, Patavia doesn’t believe she’s worthy of it, and although I haven’t mentioned it; the Mundanite’s core philosophy is the idea that knowledge should be used to benefit and uplift everyone before being used for selfish purposes (like many scholars in the scholars strife did).

Therefore, instead of asking for something new, Patavia wants to understand Nous’s calculations that they’ve already made (which unknowingly saves her life, as Polka Kakamond tries to kill anyone who pushes the boundaries of the Circle of Knowledge in a way that denies Nous’s calculations + advances the Finality).

She can’t comprehend it, but she does manage to propose the Solitary Waves theory, which Herta solves + causes her rise as a Genius.

This supposed “failure” is something the IG is so ashamed of, they used the History Fictionologists to cover it up, as they believe it proved that the mundane can never become Geniuses, due to how Patavia couldn’t ascend to becoming one despite the full power of the Scepter

Ironically, this actually saves her life, as the sense of doubt Polka creates prevents her from killing Patavia in the end since she stays within the circle of knowledge. While doing this, Patavia also fries the system in the process (good for her).

Now this is imperative to Amphoreus, as Polka, famous Rubert killer- would probably not approve of Lygus’s actions and how he’s suspiciously Rubert-ing too close to the sun.

In fact, that might actually be the reason why Amphoreus is hidden- as Lygus knows if Polka finds him, she’ll most likely kill him.

I think Screwllum and Herta are aware of this, as Polka is a firm believer in the Butterfly Effect, as depicted in the “Kill that Butterfly” curio, where even a small action can change everything (and if it relates to Nous, Polka’s gonna stop it).

When referring to Amphoreus, Screwllum says this:

-Meaning it’s probably not long before Polka comes knocking. GET HIS ASS QUEEN. KILL THAT FRAUDDD.

TLDR for this section: Lygus is probably gonna get slimed by Polka, Amphoreus is a Scepter and Patavia is a Mundanite that found the heart of the Scepter system, and “failed” to become a Genius while attempting to understand all the knowledge in the universe for the better of everyone.

So, as you’re probably asking: What the hell does this have to do with Dr. Ratio??

And I’ll answer: a lot actually.

_________________

PART TWO MY DOCTOR IS THE BUS DRIVER.

You probably noticed the me mentioning the Mundanites a lot, and that’s for a very important reason; Dr. Ratio is currently the leader of them RIGHT NOW.

(Aventurine also calls him the “Genius” of them in the 2.1 quest too hehe)

Meaning, if anyone’s going to be retracing her steps/mirroring her arc- it’s gonna be him, especially since they also share the same philosophy. We’ve gotten the other pieces from the Unknowable Domain like the Scepters + a hint at Polka’s involvement + a mention of the solitary waves theory, so it’s only a matter of time before the last part becomes relevant, especially considering that she’s the means where we learn about a lot of these things.

However, this doesn’t exactly point to Ratio saving everyone, even if I believe he will succeed where Patavia “failed” that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s gonna be the key piece in fixing this shit.

Butttt, the 2.1 Cosmodyssey event (which I’ve been tweaking out about for over a year) suggests otherwise 👀

This is the first mention of Amphoreus ever.

And as you can probably tell- the character Sparkle is playing of the “Divine Mecha” is 1000% Lygus or whatever his “real” identity is.

He invites the Trailblazer to participate in the “show” of Amphoreus, and saying “yes” is when things get interesting.

He sends a very Ratio-coded woman to help, and if we “win” we get to destroy Amphoreus.

Therefore, freeing everyone from the simulation, and thus saving them? Also, only be improvising well and being true to ourselves does he let us succeed, which is both a very HSR and a very Ratio thing for him to do.

Now, this raises the question- how the hell does Ratio know Lygus?? Sparkle (Lygus) and Lady Greenday (Ratio) are fellow masked fools and presumably friends or at least coworkers, considering Lady Greenday agrees to help Sparkle out with this.

However, based of off everything we know about Ratio and Patavia, he’d probably want to set that motherfucker on fire the moment he steps on screen.

What happens next will only be apparent as time goes on, however I do feel confident in saying Ratio will play a significant role in helping Amphoreus break away from the simulation, even if he may seem like a villain in the process.

I have a few running ideas for what might happen.

Ratio learns of Amphoreus via Screwllum and checking in on the DU again (since we shoved a bunch of Amphoreus’s data in there) + using the power of the scepter, takes that data and finds a way to make it a real place, perhaps by asking the scepter system (like Patavia once did) something new this time- a question like “how do I fix this?” which may or may not end really bad for him depending on how you interpret the “Destruction” part of this

He’s known Lygus all along- in-fact Lygus might have made up based off the Titankin and then ejected him from Amphoreus like March was, except he remembers and is coming back to fix things. I don’t see a possibility where he is friendly with Lygus, but maybe there’s some mind control/coercion going on, who knows?

He shows up but only as a support for Screwllum and Herta, which I’m fine w but damn it would be boring (at least we might get Screwtio crumbs).

Or, a secret 4th thing which is probably what’s really gonna happen.

Anyways thanks for reading, and let me know what you think. I’ve been losing my mind over this for so long and 3.3 is literally making my delusions come true YEAAHHHHH. I can and will elaborate on this I just wanted to get the basic idea out of the way. Amphoreus will get a happy ending.

some images i recently found about the multiverse:

Todoroki family dinner, but it’s that scene in Big Bang Theory where the meatloaf that had been stuck to the ceiling all day suddenly drops onto the table.

Endeavor:  What the hell is that?

Touya:  …meatloaf.

Shouto:  What was it doing on the ceiling?

Touya:  …that’s classified.

🛐 HEY DUMMY, IF MANY WORLDS THEORY IS EVEN HALF TRUE… YOU’VE ALREADY DIED. STUPIDLY. BRUTALLY. MORE THAN ONCE.

You ever laugh at a horror movie?

Like really laugh?

“Lmao. Couldn’t be me.”

🛑 It was you.

Not metaphorically. Not “haha spooky thought.”

No, literally you. Same heartbeat. Same survival instinct. Same body—just… unzipped differently.

🧠 LET’S REVIEW THE THEORY (FOR THE DUMMIES IN DENIAL):

Many Worlds Theory says that at every moment of uncertainty, every decision point— every coin flip, hesitation, breath, blink— reality splits.

Not symbolically. Literally. Quantum-level branching.

One “you” turns left. One “you” turns right. One “you” ignores the sound in the attic. One “you” checks it.

🩸 Guess which one bleeds.

Now imagine every movie you’ve ever watched. Every dumb bitch who ran upstairs. Every guy who said “Hello?” into the dark.

👁️ Every. Single. One.

A timeline. A branch. A version of you.

That’s what’s waiting behind your laughter.

Not fiction. Footage. Of other versions of you failing to live.

🔪 THE COLD OPEN KILL? That wasn’t some nameless extra. That was you.

Wearing different clothes. Living in a city you’ve never visited.

But same DNA. Same skin. Same panic in the throat as the knife goes in sideways and your phone hits the ground with a helpless little “thunk.”

🪦 THERE’S A BRANCH WHERE: ✔ You took the alley shortcut. ✔ You got in the Uber that wasn’t yours. ✔ You fell asleep in the backseat and woke up somewhere wrong. ✔ You said “just one more drink.”

And now there’s blood on ceramic tile, but it’s not yours anymore. Not exactly.

It was yours. Just… sideways.

📉 “BUT THAT’S NOT ME.” You say that now.

But explain this:

Why does your stomach drop when you hear creaking upstairs and you’re home alone?

Why do your dreams end in screams that don’t sound like yours?

Why do you wake up sweating at the exact moment your alternate self hit the floor?

Because you feel it.

Your body remembers what your timeline forgot.

🔭 “BUT I’M ALIVE HERE, SO I’M FINE.”

Yeah? Cool. So is the version of you currently being dissected in a wet basement while a stranger hums lullabies.

Somewhere, you are:

📦 Folded into a crawlspace 🩻 Sewn shut with fishing line 🫀 Having your organs repurposed for amateur dark magic 🪞 Crying into your own reflection as it doesn’t cry back

Still laughing?

👁️ THIS ISN’T “SCI-FI.” THIS IS YOUR FILE. Your digital twin in some alternate simulation is already a case study in cautionary failure.

In Timeline 4-A: You dropped your keys during a thunderstorm and didn’t make it back inside.

In Branch Omega: You followed the humming.

In Echo Fork 9B: You thought that wasn’t blood. You were wrong.

🧪 EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLES (ALL CONFIRMED DEAD):

🧴 The One Who Stayed in the Shower Too Long Boiler died. So did she. Third-degree timeline burns. Didn’t even scream—mouth full of scald.

🔦 The One Who Investigated the Basement Heard a noise. Grabbed a flashlight. Never made it back up. Now provides ambiance for the next idiot.

🚬 The One Who Took a Smoke Break Outside. Late shift. Van door slid open behind her. She didn’t even get the lighter lit.

👂 The One Who Opened the Door When It Knocked Twice Because you were taught that three knocks = horror movie. So two should be fine, right?

Right?

📻 LISTEN: YOU’VE BEEN WHISPERED TO.

Those strange urges to check behind you?

That sudden flash of dread when the light flickers at the grocery store?

The freeze response when the phone rings at 3:17AM and the screen says “NO CALLER ID”?

That’s not anxiety. That’s cross-branch static.

You’re not reacting to something here. You’re echoing the death rattle of you elsewhere.

🎬 IN ONE TIMELINE: You're a final girl. Barely alive. Covered in blood. Shaking. Crying. Walking away from a burning house.

In another?

You never made it to the title card.

In another?

You're the killer. And the screams sound like your mother’s voice.

🩸 THERE’S A UNIVERSE WHERE YOU NEVER CAME BACK.

They never found the body. Only the voicemail. And the sock soaked in something that wasn’t water.

They thought it was a prank.

They thought you ran away.

You didn’t. You just got misfiled by reality.

Another timeline took you, and left nothing but the echo of where you used to be.

🧠 YOUR BODY KNOWS.

That moment you hit the brakes even though nothing was in front of you?

That dream where someone you love dies in a very specific way?

That rush of nausea in the middle of a normal day?

You’re remembering. You’re bleeding through. You’re witnessing your own past death, in a reality your nervous system hasn’t deleted yet.

You’re not psychic.

You’re archived.

⚖️ MANY WORLDS ISN’T A THEORY. IT’S A BODY COUNT REPORT.

Somewhere:

✔ You choked on gum. ✔ You stepped on a wasp and swelled shut. ✔ You got hit by a drunk driver on a Tuesday. ✔ You bled out in a Best Buy parking lot because no one saw you collapse.

📼 DO YOU GET IT YET?

This isn’t some neat sci-fi concept. This is a graveyard full of your own names, written differently in a thousand timelines.

You died scared. You died embarrassed. You died making dumbass decisions with full confidence.

Just like the characters you laugh at.

💣 TL;DR

If Many Worlds Theory is true, you are:

💀 Already dead. 🔪 Already dissected. 👻 Already mourned. 📉 Already forgotten.

Somewhere.

Not once.

Thousands of times.

Each death…

✔️ Real. ✔️ Detailed. ✔️ Felt.

Even if you can’t remember the scream, your bones do.

simulacra and simulation..

i often time feel that the universe we exist in, is just a mathematically based, proceedurally generated, highly advanced (from our limited perspective) simulation.. i often feel that the laws of physics are just the parameters of the "simulation".. we don't know what is outside of it or if there is an outside of it.. (there probably is) but the outside could be so indistinguishable from the inside that it doesn't even matter.. outside in the sense that there are processes by which the universe rose to complexity beyond observable, measurable, understanding.. we don't have any tools to measure what is outside of that which exists for us to observe cause we exist in that which is observable.. i am starting to lean more into the theory that black holes are essentially portals to other universes or more accurately how other universes are created.. black hole takes in all that matter that gets smushed into singulaity and is expelled out on the "other side" which is like the big bang (the theory that all matter in the universe expanded everywhere all at once though a dense point of singularity) some of those universes probably have entirely different laws of physics than our own, some probably have similar with slight variations, some probably have the exact same, the multiverse.. in which our universe is currently just the "ass end" of a black hole haha.. but i dont know and nobody does.. we are all trapped in the matrix of subjective/objective reality together.. nobody gets out unless they go in.. or so it seems on a surface i seemingly can't go deeper than.. hmm.. why is all of this?

[heeyspacecadet]

Babes I appreciate the freak out and feeling proud or whatever but hoyo puts wonderful foreshadows into their worlds and stories ALWAYS and esp w amphoreus imo in 3.2 and 3.3 they were making it Very very obvious what the nature of the world is because a) this is a parallel to their wonderful hi3 arc Elysian realm and b) Phainon is their golden boy Kevin’s expy like that company will kill all the players then themselves if even a single soul refused to comprehend Amphoreus as a whole. So like congrats but also u didn’t do shit LOL

[elysiadreams]

SO HSR LEAKS AND THEORIES DISCUSSION!!!

if ruan mei actually becomes an aeon as the leaks said, it's my personal theory (idk if someone else has said it too) that she will have something to do with creation obviously since that's her whole thing?? and since she has something to do with the simulated universe they'll definitely add her path right??? so I was thinking what kind of blessings would she have?? what new thing could they possibly offer?? and then I remembered that one event with the extra weapon things(?) that did some massive damage and how hoyo tends to add things on events to test them before adding them in some way to the actual end game content. so it does make sense to me that creation -> new things -> extra "weapons" that do damage

this is the event I'm talking about I can't find photos of the weapons so iykyk?

HI GUYS BRIEF COMEBACK BECAUSE I HAVE A THEORY ON AMPHOREUS AND OMGGG

Also brief disclaimer obviously I’m not the person who started the “Amphoreus is a simulation” thing, and I wish I knew who did so I could credit them, so this is just me + my friend building off of that + the lore we are already familiar with and stage 4 doctor Ratio brainrot!!!

Okay this probably made no sense BUT I HAD TO GET IT OUT INTO THE ETHER I HAD TOOOO- I’ll probably make a more refined version of it later but tell me what you think loll

Are We Living in a Simulation? Parallel Universes and the Matrix Vibes

(Image courtesy of Brecht Corbeel)

What if I told you everything around you your life, your friends, even yourself could be part of a super advanced simulation? Yep, that’s the Simulation Hypothesis in a nutshell. Some really smart people, like philosopher Nick Bostrom and tech mogul Elon Musk, think we might actually be living inside a computer program. Sounds like The Matrix, right? Well, it gets even crazier when you add parallel universes to the mix.

What’s the Simulation Hypothesis?

The Simulation Hypothesis is basically the idea that, at some point in the future, humans (or aliens, or whoever) will have the technology to create simulations so realistic that the people inside them won’t even know it’s fake. And if that’s possible, it’s likely that we are actually living inside one of those simulations right now. Crazy, right?

Where Do Parallel Universes Fit In?

Here’s where things get extra wild. Parallel universes suggest that there are multiple versions of reality running at the same time kind of like different save files in a game. These universes could be slightly different (like you taking a different route to work) or totally changed (maybe in another universe, you’re a billionaire). If we’re living in a simulation, it’s possible there are tons of these alternate realities running at once, like different levels in a video game.

Why Do People Think It’s Possible?

With tech advancing so quickly think VR, AI, and even quantum physics it's not too hard to imagine creating a simulation that feels as real as our world. Some scientists believe quantum physics hints at multiple realities, where tiny particles exist in more than one state at once. And maybe those realities are just different "versions" of our simulation.

Are We in a Simulation?

No one knows for sure. But as we learn more about tech and physics, it’s starting to feel less like science fiction and more like... maybe we’re onto something.

need to know which is you favorite muse album i have a soft spot for showbiz and absolution :)

Oh I absolutely have a soft spot for Showbiz, but I really love Origin of Symmetry and Resistance as well. Tbh I used to not think that much about Resistance, I thought it was just fine, until I got a cd and listened to it on a cd player and it was so magical to me it became a favorite instantly.

🛐 HEY DUMMY, IF MANY WORLDS THEORY IS EVEN HALF TRUE…

(Good luck sleeping tonight.)

You ever sit back after a horror movie and laugh?

“Oh man, imagine being that guy. Couldn’t be me, bro.”

Yeah. About that.

If Many Worlds or Parallel Universe Theory has even a droplet of truth to it…

It is you.

Right now. Right this second. Somewhere on another branch of spacetime, another "you" is eating it raw — and not in the fun way.

🧠 Let's Break It Down, Einstein:

If reality splits at every decision point— Every flicker of choice— Every breath taken slightly left instead of right—

Then somewhere:

You didn’t check the locks.

You did go into the basement after hearing the weird noise.

You are bleeding out face-first on a barn floor while something ancient and giggling licks the marrow out of your femur.

💀 That Slasher Movie?

Yeah, there’s a universe where you were the cold open body count.

You know the scene:

Screaming for help.

Phone with 2% battery.

Car keys just out of reach under the couch coated in suspicious, moist shame.

That’s you.

Not “theoretical you.” You-you.

A full, breathing, shitting, panicking you — whose last words were probably something elegant like "Aw f—" before darkness hit like a brick wall.

🛸 That Sci-Fi Flick with the Predator?

You laugh at the guy getting skewered and flayed?

Cute.

Because somewhere, another version of you is:

Gutted.

Disemboweled.

Hung from a jungle tree like a cheap Christmas ornament.

Waiting.

Wishing your slow-ass imaginary "platoon" would hurry the hell up.

Spoiler: They find your intestines before they find your face.

📉 Oh, But It Gets Worse:

You know those worlds where:

You trip at the wrong time?

You trust the wrong smile?

You linger too long at the wrong stoplight?

Yeah.

Those branches exist too.

Somewhere right now there’s a "you" realizing, in a final flash of agony, that bad vibes weren’t just vibes — they were a premonition.

And you ignored it.

Because of course you did.

🩸 Let's Widen the Nightmare:

Many Worlds doesn’t just mean:

"Another version of you makes better choices."

It means:

"Another version of you suffers every grotesque possibility reality can conjure."

The serial killer.

The haunted asylum.

The man-eating forest.

The ancient portal.

The backrooms you fell into when the elevator twitched one floor too low.

You didn’t just die.

You screamed. You begged. You lost.

And no one ever found you.

🔥 Existential Takeaway?

In some reality, you're not reading this.

You're a statistic.

You're a stain on a forgotten mattress.

You're the cold case that made a rookie cop puke into a bush and think about quitting the force.

You’re the news headline that flashes for three seconds before getting buried under celebrity gossip and microwave dinner ads.

🧠 And Here's the Real Fucked Up Part:

You can feel it, can’t you?

That sick, silent gut twist at 3:17 AM.

That instinctual recoil when the lights flicker.

That flash of dread when the doorbell rings and no one’s there.

It’s your body remembering something your mind was lucky enough to forget.

🤯 TL;DR

If Many Worlds is real, you’re already dead somewhere.

Not peacefully.

Not painlessly.

Not beautifully.

And every time you smirk at a horror movie character making dumb decisions...

Understand:

You already made one.

You just don’t remember.

Yet.
