Pandemonium Matrix

Pandemonium Matrix is a comprehensive system that encapsulates Lemurian demonism and time sorcery, incorporating two main elements: the Numogram (time-map) and the Matrix (a catalogue detailing the names, numbers, and characteristics of demons). The system is structured according to the inherent properties of decimal numeracy and incorporates fundamental arithmetic operations.

## Overview

The **Numogram**, or Decimal Labyrinth, is constructed from ten zones numbered 0-9 and their links. These zones are grouped into five pairs, or syzygies, by a twinning process known as zygonovism. Each syzygy's arithmetic difference defines a current, or link to a tractor zone. These currents are the numogram's main flows.

The **Matrix** part of the system lists the names, numbers, and attributes of the demons, creating a vast demonological codex. Each demon, or entity, within the Matrix is uniquely identified by a specific zone-net couple, assigned a particular tonality or pitch, and defined by its role within the system.

## System Components

The entire Pandemonium Matrix system is comprised of several interconnected and interdependent components:

### 1. Time-Systems

Three primary time-systems are formed by the arrangement of currents in the Numogram:

* **Time-Circuit**: A cycle created by the mutual composition of the currents of the central syzygies, rotating in anticlockwise steps.
* **Warp and Plex**: Currents in both upper and lower syzygies fold back into themselves, creating individual loops. They are seen as being of intrinsically cryptic nature, representing Outer-time.

### 2. Gates and Channels

Each zone number in the numogram, when digitally cumulated, defines a gate's value. These gates and their corresponding channels form the secondary flows or secret interconnections in the numogram, creating routes for sorcerous traffic.

### 3. Demons and Distances

The demons are singular entities characterized by irreducible distances between any pair of zones. Each demon is simultaneously a gap, link, hole, and entity with specific traits, features, aspects, and potentials.

## Demonic Groupings

Demons are grouped according to several properties:

* **Chronodemons**: These represent varieties of distance within the time-circuit.
* **Amphidemons**: They represent ruptures in the time-circuit, signifying openings to the Outside.
* **Xenodemons**: These are considered the inhabitants of the outer abysses.

In addition to these categories, demons are also grouped by phase, each opened by a door attributed with a domain, planetary affinity, and spinal level.

## The Rites

The rites represent the various paths that the demons trace through the hyper-time of the maze. Each demon's rite is determined by how its net-span can be integrated or traced across the numogram's flows. Each rite corresponds to a particular omen and power.

## Necronomicon

In Western hyperfictional lore, the Matrix of all demons (Pandemonium) is called Necronomicon, or The Book of Dead Names. This text lists all entities excluded from the white-magic book of life, and it's said to be a copy of an original document that was retroactively sent from the future into the distant past, thus mixing elements of science fiction with ancient legend.
