Alternate Timeline Nomenclature

Nguhcraft's alternate timelines have begun being studied by the Time Party of Madness in order to gain more power. In order to classify timelines and their events, a naming system was developed.

Events

Red dots show events in the prime timeline. Red arrows show the two types of divergences. Blue dots show the events in the new timelines. Green dots show events that happened differently, but from the same cause and around the same time. Yellow dotted lines show similarity between variating events.

Events are divided into three types: events that happened in the prime timeline but not the new one (Impacting Events), events that did not happen in the prime timeline but did in the new one (Missed Events), and events that happened in both timelines but differently (Variated Events).

Impacting Events

Impacting events are named by adding x–𝑖 to the event name. The variable x signifies the amount of times the event has occured. If only once, then "1–𝑖" is added. Some events, like world wars, do have a number showing the amount of times they have occured. In those cases, that number is used for the x. For example, if World war 1 did not happen in an alternate timeline (or happened later), the lack of a World War 1 would be called World War 1–𝑖.

Missed Events

Missed events are named by adding x+𝑖 to the event name. For example, if World War 2 happened in an alternate timeline, but later (or at all) in the prime timeline, would be called World War 2+𝑖.

Variating Events

Variating events are named by adding x𝑖 to the event name. For example, if World War 1 happened differently in an alternate timeline, it would be called World War 1𝑖, or simply World War 𝑖.

Timelines

The timeline in which everything the Agma Schwa Minecraft and Discord servers occurs is called the prime timeline. Any other timeline is created by players as alternate history. Timelines are given the name T-[the event that caused the divergence]. For example, the timeline in which a second world war erupted from the 19th United Ŋations meeting is known as T-WW2+𝑖. If two timelines were diverge from an event with the same name, 𝑗 is used instead of 𝑖 (T-WW2+𝑗). If three timelines are, it's 𝑘, and so on.

If enough occur, 𝑜 is skipped to avoid confusion with the number zero. If 𝑧 is surpassed, Greek letters are used: 𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾, etc.
