Introduction
Welcome to the theory and analysis pages of the Chrono Compendium. While most theory is presented in the form of Articles, which speak at length on a particular subject or mystery in the Chrono series, this section splits up every inquiry or enigma into its own entry and lists discussion or theories respectively. This allows quick reference of mysteries surrounding a particular encyclopedia topic by instantly linking the topic to its corresponding analysis page. No discussion actually takes place here; it is instead done completely on the forums, and the results are posted here and to articles after a discussion reaches a conclusion. Some theory entries appear after the writing of an article as well. Observation and Conjecture deals with theories based solely on observation of actions in the Chrono series; the entries under that category don't attempt to explain problems outright, but rather form ideas based on what's seen and read. Common questions also answers plot questions that often confuse players. The Theory and Analysis section conversely deals with problems and unexplained phenomena in the Chrono series, such as time paradoxes or the mysterious backgrounds of people and events. If you would like to debate material seen here, please attempt to find the relevant forum thread or create a new one addressing the entry. I pray you enjoy reading about the cloudier points of the Chrono series, including the unexplained and the miraculous.
