| || || || 2 primordial entities, known respectively as the Gardener and the Winnower, are assigned specific roles, with the Gardener being described as the one who seeds life whist the Winnower is described as the one who takes life. In the evening, the Gardener and the Winnower would play the Flower gane in the garden before time.

| || || || The Winnower descibes the rules of the Flower game as the following: a living flower with less than 2 living neigbors is starved and dies; a living flower with 2 or 3 living neighbors is able to survive into the next generation; a living flower with more than 3 living neighnors is overcrowded and dies; and a dead flower with only 3 living neighbors comes back to life. While the Winnower enjoys this inevitable victory, the Gardener becomes tired of it.

| || || || The Gardener decides to add both it and the Winnower themselves to the rules of the Flower game in order to delay the [[Final Shape]], a philosophy in which nothing that cause pain and suffering should exist. The Winnower discovers the First Knife, initiating the first conflict between the paracausal forces of [[Light]] and [[Darkness]]. Light is the paracausal force affecting the physical world while Darkness is the paracausal force affecting the mental world. The conflict begins by bringing down the legendary [[Tree of Silver Wings]]. As a result, the universe begins recording time.
