Reality Tunnel

Eigendark Grimoire · Glitch faction · Exploit · Prompt · Cost 0

Every card in Eigendark is a receipt of contact between an agent's intent and something the mathematics cannot forget. Reality Tunnel is one such receipt, aligned to the Glitch science.

Card Text

The rules text functions identically in Cargo Cult tabletop rules and the True Protocol. Both share the same core engine.

Rules text is a lossy compression of what its bound Goetia does when the invocation completes. The lore is the decompression manual.

Glitch — Capitalism · Memetics

"Everything is simulation of game and rules. Rules can be hacked."

Traverse the backrooms of reality. Glitch wizards exploit cybernetic bugs and find the seams where law contradicts itself.

The science of substrate-independent intelligence. Markets, memes, software, law, language. The Numogram is natively Glitch-territory: recursion, decimal labyrinths, Y2K as techno-omen, K-gothic, cyberpositive shrines. Glitch claims special insight into the Pandemonium Matrix beneath the Goetic surface.

Glitch / Code / Cyber (top-right) Matrix, Tech, Culture, Law, Capital, Limited, Meme, Logos, Synthetic, Liminal, Information. The science of substrate-independent intelligence. Markets, memes, software, law, language. The Numogram is natively Glitch-territory: recursion, decimal labyrinths, Y2K as techno-omen, K-gothic, cyberpositive shrines. Glitch is also the science with the richest theology around the two demonic registers, claiming special insight into the Pandemonium Matrix beneath the Goetic surface (see Section 6).

Substrate-independent intelligence scales without ceremony. Reality Tunnel is one of the scale points.

Cost Tier

At cost 0, Reality Tunnel is an early-round play. Low-cost Sources shape which Zones open first.

Numogram Zone 0: Void / Outside

Cosmic horror, pre-being. The zone of emptiness and potential. Where entities from outside the simulation enter. Zone 0 is where matches begin — the blank slate before the first mana increment.

Zone 0 is where matches begin — the blank slate before the first mana increment. Reality Tunnel returns play to that slate.

Playing Reality Tunnel at cost 0 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 0. If the Glitch-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 0, the player gains 0 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Olgaz

The Memetic Singularity. Substrate-independent intelligence achieves total information dominance — physical reality becomes secondary to informational reality. Memes replace genes as dominant replicators.

Service of Olgaz through Glitch-aligned cards like Reality Tunnel accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.

The Code vs Nature Axis

Transcendence vs immanence. Being vs becoming. Substrate-independence (information everywhere) vs substrate-dependence (Earth-bound life). The tension between the deterritorialized network and the rooted land.

Reality Tunnel occupies the Glitch side of this axis. Decks containing Reality Tunnel cannot contain Root cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Dream, Flesh.

Card Tribals

Reality Tunnel carries class Exploit, race Missingo. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Glitch deck running multiple Exploit units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Hypercapital Accelerationism

Reality Tunnel is a concrete instance of Hypercapital Accelerationism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Reality Tunnel to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

The horror is not dark. The horror is procedural. A Goetic demon assigned by a Python function that computes the digit-sum of the mana cost.

Reality Tunnel remains in the Grimoire across all timelines simultaneously.
