Orkography

Golems are typically encoded by drawing symbols in a circular chakraesque pattern on the floor. By getting the symbols in the right place, one can pierce the cyndrim and form instructions so as to direct the energy and form logic paths. Such a circle would be tens of metres in radius at a respectable font.

The Cult somewhat knows about it, in extremely basic levels, as evidenced by Klaufmon's Design but lack the skill and knowledge for in-depth designs. Hylla has teased them about the tomes and manuscripts kept by the Golem Master. These patterns work because they mimic the encoding of the universe - the instructions for the laws of physics and all fundamental particles are written in this form, though incredibly complex. By writing the instructions in a compatible form on any surface or in any medium, one can do pretty much limitless things from rewriting the laws of physics to conjuring heat energy. Some of the more universe-breaking instructions would be millions of light-years across and feature symbols incomprehensible to the human mind.

This forms the basic of 'magic' as one can channel energy into any purpose or mass so long as you have the knowledge and time to spare. Powers have their own instructions, it seems, presumably designed by a higher being.

Theoretically you could encode an orkar wheel that would itself construct larger and more complex circles. Plus, the designs delete themselves after one use by burning up or smearing the material or something. I guess you could make a large stamp. The general procedure is to draw your wheel but leave a small segment of the perimeter free at the top to prevent it from activating. Glow and air vibrations. The simplest form of orkar wheel farts out a unit of heat energy.

Joseph Orkar was a member of the Cult of Hylla who formalised the philosophy of orkar wheels after discovering them from a wise old man somewhere. Developed very primitively throughout the world in isolation. He dedicated his life to creating the concept of Orkar Dust (enchanted ash which could rearrange by itself telepathically to form more complex wheels) and trying to find that golem.

Roba Claufmon is hailed, along with Orkar, as one of the founding fathers of modern orkography amongst the select few who are privy to it.

Quantum effects and observation

Willem Reffilibor is the current Head of Orkography for the Cult of Hylla. Whilst Orkar focused on the concept of Orkar dust and Klaufmon on the Golem Master, Refefiliborr has dedicated his career to discovering more functions and finding abbreviations where possible. A significant amount of his studies are dedicated to locating various isolated communities with a basic grasp on orkography and seeing if they have stumbled across any new functions, symbols or systems. Vision of his team doing research in a cave, canvas hung on the walls. I know what I'm talking about, don't worry. The Cult's orkography department probably has use of modern philosophical aides like mechanical engines and such. I suppose orkography is a unique mix of linguistics, programming and maths/physics. Maybe Willem is fluent in Orkar wheels.

True names and their concept have been identified as a major step forward in terms of efficiency - Willem has began extensive research into it but it's very slow going process.

Aiming for partially dissembling orkar wheels.

The cyndrim (or aether) is kind of a dimension but kind of not. Its space is warped and stretched compared to the regular universe. Its just a pool of energy and the purpose hasn't been discovered, but theorised to do with God or the origin of the universe. There is constant energy exchange between the aether and the real world. When sapping energy via wheels, a negative feedback occurs, mainly in the form of absorbing heat energy from the universe ubiquitously. If too much energy is taken, fears are that positive feedback would kick in and lead to horrors - heat death or the complete extinction of all unconscious beings in the universe. This is partially why they refuse to publicly release knowledge of Orkar wheels).

Jumpdrive theory through the cyndrim

Not many true names have been discovered but the people that do usually tend to go by them because it is more fitting than their given name (The Golem Master, Yogsai)

Interdimensional orkar wheels, also known as Isherwood wheels. Basically, whilst orkar wheels have the ability to warp energy and mass and even the rules in the universe, orkographic theorist Bryony Isherwood is a pioneer in multiverse theory and has gone a step further by mathematically proving the existence of so-called Isherwood wheels, wheels that can warp the multiverse. Currently, no progress has been made concerning their shape/grammar, or even what they actually specifically do, or if they're accessible. Some have suggested that they would come in the form of a 0-sided shape, or a sphere, though no further details have been presented. Transdimensional orkographics deals with forces beyond reality and the universe - eldritch unknowable forces that madden and curse. It also deals with the concept of Backstage. the realm behind the multiverse. Empty like that one Spongebob episode, and supposedly the realm of God. I suppose that while regular Orkar wheels are inspiring and wondrous albeit slow and mostly ineffective, Isherwood wheels (or at least Isherwood's theory) are maddening/eldritch at worst and bleak at best. I also like to think that Isherwood wheels deal with the nature of God and the origins of the universe, with a God that is Lovecraftian and Cthulhean in tone.

Also, I suppose that the beginnings of quantum theory emerged with developments in orkography, psychosophy and the various other occult philosophies I haven't come up with yet.
