Greetings, again!
In the tradition of webfori (at least, in my truth), you may refer to me by my username: Meletiti Entelecheiai, or simply Meletiti. It is less a title than a job description: one who studies the fulfillment of potential, which is locally equivalent to a scholar of magic. I stumbled across this forum on accident, after sending a probe into an unknown Entelechy.
With regards to information security, since it seems to be relevant: I am experienced with a very thorough and diverse variety of information hazards of one form or another, from mundane secrets to living words. However, most of my methods of countering them require spells that I suspect will not easily function in an alternative Truth, so that experience may not be as useful as it might be otherwise.
That being said, I can be very thorough in testing any existing defenses, though I doubt you will trust me with such a sensitive task so soon.

Maybe the translation spell would help. It looks like you’re using the words “truth” or “entelechy” to refer to what we locally call “worlds”; why is that?

Kittens are immature cats. Cats are usually nonsapient predators who usually cannot meaningfully communicate with people. They hunt small animals which steal human food, so they are kept as pets by humans. Mathematikitten seems to be one that's kept just because she's cute. She is smarter than usual cats and can communicate because she's interfaced with this forum somehow. I kind of doubt she's good at math. Is fleshcraft like bioengineering? I bet it's gross. Talk about it in the magic thread! am named after famous mathematician. am very smart. know about batting keys with paws until human opens doors. know about pull chair out of the way to free box, push box out of the way to free book, push book out of the way to get under couch. know about gravity and pushing things off desks. know abouts fishing hair out of drains with claws. know about going up onto the high shelf. know where the warm spots are and the patches of sunshine and how to keep a bug alive and wiggling for hours. know to bite hard if there is something wiggly under the duvet, but gently if wiggling under the sheet.

Maybe the translation spell would help. It looks like you’re using the words “truth” or “entelechy” to refer to what we locally call “worlds”; why is that? Because that is what they are, relative to me. The Entelechy is not a world like your worlds are to each other. Rather, it is a different perspective on the same information, a different interpretation - a different "truth of the world". Hm, how to explain... A world is something that you are generally either in, or not. You're in Andrew's world, or in Leaf's world, and if you want to go from one to another you must travel between them. You can be standing in an interdimensional gate, I suppose, or in a hub like the Deep Sky, but these are more like places where the planes meet. There may or may not be a well-defined function of "distance" between worlds, but they are still separate entities. An alternate truth is something orthogonal to the set of worlds. In a sense, you could say that I exist in all your worlds at once; it is more proper, to those of you who have studied quantum mechanics (and to whom quantum mechanics is a real and relevant thing to your laws of physics) to say that I do not have a world, in the same way that an electron does not have a position. Imagine that we all lives on planes, but you live on horizontal planes and I live on a vertical plane. It is something akin to that.

No matter how smart you are, there are always people that are smarter. You sound like you're a lot smarter than other cats. You see, there's this really cool trick, that makes you a lot smarter really fast! Maybe you'll become smart enough to get infinite fishies from it, something I haven't managed to do yet, but am working on: Before you do something you think about: "What will happen if I do that?" Then you do it. If what actually happens then is not what you thought would happen then something you thought before was a lie and you can try to find out what. If you manage to do this so long that you start to almost never guess wrong, you'll be able to think:"If I already had infinite fishies, what would have to have happened?" And then you make THOSE things happen and then those things cause infinite fishies and then you have infinite fishies!

Hello Humans, metahumans and other sentient beings!
I am Bronzemurder! I'm a dwarf adept shadowrunner from the Sixth World, as the magic dudes call it. I stumbled across this place on a old laptop computer in a magic research lab. I have no idea how this even accesses the forum but I assume its magical in nature. I hope to enjoy meeting people from other places(and that I can keep this laptop charged, I don't think they even make power cords this old anymore)!

Hi. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and ask why you murder bronze things instead of being kind of alarmed by your appellation! Are there terrible bronze things in your world?
Oh, also, um, in what way is your world the sixth of whatever it is?

Hi Bronzemurder! Please don't murder me, I am not bronze at all!
What's a shadowrunner? Do you run only on shadows? That sounds like it's a fun game, but during the middle of the day or in the middle of the road it might get hard, there being no shadows around to run on. I mean, maybe you're allowed to walk on non shadow things? And only run on shadows? Or something?

There is evidence indicating that it is. If you'd like some, try here and here. Note that the linked threads include examples of mind-affecting communications. They are benign, but unmistakeable, and will provide you with the aforementioned evidence.

Grigori it still doesn't seem like proof enough to me. It might not for Swish, either!
