The '''Garden''', as it is referred to by the [[Darkness]], is a metaphor for the probability space from which all possible universes could arise, a mathematical structure that predated time, space, and existence in general. | The '''Garden''', as it is referred to by the [[Darkness]], is a metaphor for the probability space from which all possible universes could arise, a mathematical structure that predated time, space, and existence in general. | ||
In the metaphor, the garden was a simulator, using the [[flower game]] as a mechanism to iterate different potential universes. This game was overseen by abstract mathematical principles personified as a "Gardener" and a "Winnower". The gardener represented the rules that allowed flowers to be placed, to spread, and to sustain themselves over each "tick" of game time, while the winnower represented the rules that culled flowers.<ref name = 'The Flower Game'>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Unveiling#The_Flower_Game]]''</ref> | In the metaphor, the garden was a simulator, using the [[flower game]] as a mechanism to iterate different potential universes.
