The specific term Bruno gets his name from, Antinomy, was popularized by Immanuel Kant in his Critique of Pure Reason, wherin he argues there are four contradictions necessary for attempting to understand reality.

1. The world has a beginning in time, and is also limited as regards space. - The world has no beginning, and no limits in space; it is infinite as regards both time and space.

2. Every composite substance in the world is made up of simple parts, and nothing anywhere exists save the simple or what is composed of the simple. - No composite thing in the world is made up of simple parts, and there nowhere exists in the world anything simple. 

3. Causality in accordance with laws of nature is not the only causality from which the appearances of the world can one and all be derived. To explain these appearances it is necessary to assume that there is also another causality, that of Spontaneity. - There is no Spontaneity; everything in the world takes place solely in accordance with laws of nature. 

4. There belongs to the world, either as its part or as its cause, a being that is absolutely necessary. - An absolutely necessary being nowhere exists in the world, nor does it exist outside the world as its cause. 

At every turn, Illiaster attempts to follow the logical half of the paradox, and is undone by the opposite. They believe there is not enough time to change humanities ways, Yusei says he’ll make more. They believe the team to be simple people, below the machinations of their order. But like the gears of the reactor, Yusei and his family combine into something much more complex. Bruno shouldn’t be able to defy his programming, but he does, in an act of Spontaneity.

Z-One believed Yusei to be destined, integral, important. That the world needed him. But when he attempted to revive the legend, that wasn’t the magic bullet to save the world. Yusei isn’t necessary.

But at the same time, the team is simple. They’re people, working with the time and space they’ve got, spontaneous and unimportant and so, so human. Yusei is unimportant, but he writes himself into prophecy by sheer stubbornness. Yusei is contradictions: a hero and an outcast, magic and machines, blessed and cursed. New Domino born, Satellite raised. Prophesied to die, living all the same.

The stars of Illiaster, despite each being named after term for contradiction, don’t internalize why those terms exist in the first place. Like Kant said, in order to truly understand reality, you must first come to terms with its antinomies. There is no Occam’s Razor for something all infinite and finite as the universe. Learn to hold both sides of the possibility, to accept them, even if they should cancel eachother out, because that is the crux of humanity.

Aged Up Lester; redesigned, for an AU where Team New World aren't evil murderbots from the future.

I know it's scruffy as fuck, but I have no energy atm because my ME is playing up, and Infinite Painter is barely compatible with my new phone, meaning everything takes twice the energy it used to. I might edit later when I have more spoons, but I have other stuff that I need to do as well, so who knows when I will get a chance.
