From the Glossary Edit

Procian: Of, or relating to, Saunt Proc or any of the other orders that claim descent from the Syntactic Faculties. Frequently seen as natural opponents of Halikaarnians.

Description Edit

In the fundamental Arbrean schism of Syntactic v. Semantic theorics, which corresponds to the Terran ontological divergence between Realism and Nominalism, Procians would agree with the Nominalists, as they believe that entities in the cosmos have no inherent meaning or existence except that which consciousness-bearing systems project upon them. This line of analysis supports the Procian Millenarians development of the organic Praxis which enables them, as Rhetors, to change the physical records of past events.

Earth Connection Edit
