Maybe doris is omnuscient about words and actions but doesnt know what actually causes them, the feelingd and thpughts behind them she has to guess. And this inclides her own self...
I noticed no one else mentioned it so I will.
When Bompcli said near the start "You had fun right?" Just before it when she giggles lightly, she did it in the same manner that Lady Doris does! They're influencing each other!
broogle uses they/them :)
I’m g going to throw wp oh my god
khhh my god. my god, lady Doris. Doris.
I don’t even know what to say
I’m just wholly overwhelmed
She’s getting genuinely swayed by broccoli now
she’s genuinely ffeelling I’m goingbto cry maybe scream
dont cry, crying is not polite and good
She says “I must exist elsewhere now” like she did in the very beginning of the comic! I wonder if this is an intentional callback (prolly)
You know, upon rereading this, I have to wonder about the precise mechanisms of her omniscience. She seems to exist non-linearly and only possess knowledge of a single timeline, with deviations from that timeline causing a period of ignorance. But if that's the case, how does she know Broccoli's arguments, given that they never had to actually argue them and she just agreed? Or, was being swayed another exertion of her free will now that its fragility has been made apparent to her?
My theory on this is that she is omnicient in multiple timelines but only in the ones where her own course of action is predictable and logical to her. She expected to hear what broccoli was going to say and so changing the timeline to skip past her explanation is logical, she had it planned. But maybe bopping broccoli in the face was something she did not expect to do because she had no reason to do it, so she hadn’t predicted what would happen after doing so.
I also wonder about that. We're not entirely in the dark, but we simply don't have sufficient information to say for sure.
Assuming that neither Broccoli or Lady Doris have been lying in the last four chapters, there are a few pieces of information we know for sure.
- Broccoli is a deterministic creature. Lady Doris is capable of predicting what they will do perfectly, even when they’re trying to be random.
- Lady Doris can also see/recall things that happened in the past, even if she was not present for them.
- Lady Doris can, however, only predict/see what Broccoli will *do*, not *why* she does it.
- Lady Doris is capable of acting non-deterministically. It does not appear to be easy or natural for her, but she can do it.
- Once Lady Doris has made a non-deterministic act, she no longer knows what Broccoli is going to do.
- She can, however, ‘cheat’ by looking at her future whenever she pleases.
- After some time, she ‘readjusts’ to the timeline, at which point she can once again predict what Broccoli will do.
From this information, it seems likely that Lady Doris has what could be effectively thought of as a ‘big book of everything’-type of near-omniscience, where the book is being written from a third person objective perspective. She can look up any event that might occur or has occurred in the past, and by ‘reading’ the ‘book’ she is familiar in general with what will happen and when. But the book only contains the matter-of-fact actions and events that occur, with little-to-no ‘narration’ included.
Of course, as stated at the start, while I do think this *bests* fits the available data, the truth is we don’t have enough information to say for sure. There are other explanations which could prove to be more correct, given additional information. This also assumes neither Lady Doris or Broccoli are lying, which is not a given.
My guess is that lady Doris made it all up, so broccoli and all of the universes only exist in her imagination, she knows what will happen as she is the one that makes it all happen
I like the idea that she just wanted to give Broccoli what they wanted, and the arguments never mattered in the first place.
