Alfred (Messenger)

Tendency: to observe and explore without intrusion

The world

Salty provides the substance for the world, which - without the other two - would dissolve into infinity. Alfred, while exploring the expanses of Salty (who is able to elicit strong emotions in Albert, for the first time in his life) finds particular areas particularly interesting and begins propagating in them. With his highly prolific activities, he attracts the catalysing No Thing, which begins changing the direction of Salty's stretching, pulling it inwards, curving it, becoming parts of Salty and creating patterns and paradoxes. The swarms of Alberts, shaped by Salty, become the instantaneous messengers between the substance and the change of the world. It's a world of existing in the nexus of three dynamically balanced forces: stretching, changing and exploring. Alfred lends a calm humanness to the world, salty makes it humble and overpopulation is controlled by Salty's ability to turn swarms of people into sound compositions.
