I understand that you are preoccupied with wishing to know what became of your own ecumene, of Humanity on Earth. And that you are still uncertain and unclear about the specifics of your own identity as a representative thereof. And that you are curious about the curious names of these alien ecumenes. All of this will be explained. Please trust that there is a well-studied, proven, appropriate order in which knowledge is to be unveiled, to show maximum care and respect to a representative (like you) and their capacity to give admittance to it.

With that in mind — The next bone-white volume I have retrieved for you collects further common categories of fate.

Materialism, in which a world succumbs to the accumulation and glorification of molecules in certain arrangements so completely as to neglect matters of the spirit.

Its counterpart Asceticism, in which a world turns so inward that it forgets (or rejects) that it is made of stuff, and that transcendence still needs a physical substrate to occur on.

Deleterious Religion, by which a world allows all manner of essentially random stories conceived in a spiritual realm to become factual claims about the physical realm, leading to mass behavior disconnected from understanding of reality.

And of course Natural Cataclysm, including Impact, Deluge, Desiccation, Suffocation, Eruption, Inundation, Wrack, Glaciation, and Miscellaneous.

These white volumes compile and summarize such common fates for ecumenes across your observable universe. I have drawn them from the Ecumenical Library, which you will need more preparation before visiting. Of course, when it does occur, your visit will be mediated by my description, and will take place in your imagination.

Please accept my highest regards,

V.F.
