A strange beast appears, arisen from a foregone conclusion in the words that make the world

the will for assigned meaning, the desire for fate that could be understood and accepted by a searching mind

had a little split, you could say, and the beast, As-It-Follows, was the eventual result.

It began as a unique quirk in wording, in the composite words of a simple spider.

It existed on such minor scale, at first. A kind of memetic ripple through the names of things that the spider came upon, in its tiny little life.

The mark wrote itself upon the outcomes of cause and effect with ease, for it was so, just – a little new sort of so. Like an i, dotted with a heart.

And as the spread of its influence grew, the mark developed temperament, the basics of personality

ways in which it would favor being spread, rather than not.

it was now no longer a toolmark that operated without conscious choice.

This simple bit of existential grammar, something like – ‘and so it happened, as was the only imaginable outcome’

became in itself that which decided what the only imaginable outcome was.

It became the hidden meaning behind events.

In short --

it became Allegory.
