The Eldest Daughter struggles with some of the mathematics. [...] The intent of the work deeply appeals to her, though. "It is the Science of Escape," she tells you.[1]
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
For some, the Red Science is the investigation the metaphysical order of the universe and how to manipulate it.[2] For others, the term should be reserved only to the gross and foolish ways those rules can be exploited for treacherous purposes. In either case, the Red Science involve the application of the principles of the Correspondence to reality.[3]
The Science of Escape
The principal application of the Red Science is in warping reality, in some way - though any responsible Crimson Engineer would use this to undo anomalies, rather than create them. It is capable of manipulating spacetime,[4][5][6] rewriting the rules of mathematics,[7] and defying gravity on a local scale.[8] In its more benign uses, it also concerns the study of the rules of the universe,[9][10] for instance the relation between light and law.[11]
The Red Science can also be used to modify flesh and break the rules of the Great Chain of Being. However, such breaks in the natural order always leave a scar,[12] and, like all transgressions of their laws, the Judgements see this as a crime.[13]
