The Local Universe:
An Outline of Cosmography and Administration

by Marian Rowley

• I. COSMOGRAPHY
• A. Relation to Superuniverse - Orvonton
• 100 local universes make up a minor sector, and each local universe consists of 100 constellations. (p.166) Local universes revolve around center of minor sector, minor sectors around major sectors, and major sectors around Uversa. "The local universes are in closer proximity as they approach Havona; the circuits are greater in number, and there is increased superimposition, layer upon layer. But farther out...there are fewer and fewer..." (.168)
• B. Our Own Local Universe - Nebadon
• 1. History
• Andronover nebula was the main source of our local universe, Nebadon. 400 billion years ago, Michael selected this site and architectural worlds were started. First inhabited worlds 200 billion years ago. (p.654)
• 2. Physical Location
• Nebadon "...is now well out toward the edge of Orvonton...far to the south and east in the superuniverse circuit." From outer edge of S/U to center (Uversa) a little less than 250,000 light years. (p.359-60)

• E. General
• System government looks after the welfare of its planets, but is more particularly concerned with physical status of living beings, biologic problems.
• Constellation rulers pay especial attention to the social and governmental conditions prevailing on the different planets and systems. Chiefly concerned with unification and stabilization.
• Local universe rulers are more occupied with the spiritual status of the realms. (p.371.6)
• Ambassadors are appointed by judicial decree and represent universes to other universes. Consuls are representatives of constellations to one another, and to the universe headquarters; they are appointed by legislative decree and function only within the confines of the local universe. Observers are commissioned by executive decree of a System Sovereign to represent that system to other systems, and at the constellation capital, and they, too, function only within the confines of the local universe."
