Theory
Contents
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. 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.

Principles of Timelines and Dimensions covers observations and general guidelines hypothesized to be at work in the Chrono series mythos. While it does use evidence for its claims, it is apart from other analysis in that it does not directly deal with a mystery or attempt to answer an unknown question outside the realm of temporal observation. For this reason, it is kept separate from the other inquiries.
