Postrat kids like to talk about “object level” but I don’t really grok that. But I like “log level” as preferred abstraction level. Very pararational. Zone of glitches, autocorrect, spooky entanglements, gremlins, alt temporalities, forensics, liminality, poop, entropic boundary

I’m trying to construct a few log-level gremlin-like paradivine creature archetypes. Slightly evil demiurge archetypes (that’s what my weird goat-crow-rat schema is about... they started out as refactored time gods, but now they’re more like time gremlins)

You’re familiar with powerful aliens or gods who can manipulate time in serious ways with technology or magic. Now imagine much weaker creatures that can only mess with time slightly in sneaky ways, with log-level powers. Like say reordering 2 events and causing a small glitch.

Not necessarily. I’m actually thinking locally bounded effects rather than sensitive dependence and unbounded global effects.
