1941 - Thaddeus Detzer (no info on him) writes "Internal Oversight", it is almost a warning about how the words they write have too much power and to not wield it without will. (Maybe he was working for the Academic Journal? There seems to be no other info about him)

1942 - Ursula Letour (daughter of Pierre Letour, editor of the Academic Journal) is born

1942 - Silverton (under pseudonym) writes the last Rampage novel, this time about Guinevere becoming basically a mindless slave to Lancelot. The author also insists he was writing from experience. (I suspect the novels acted as a cautionary tale for Revisions, and that is why the Church of Rampage was born)

1943 - Joshua Silverton dies

1944 - Kendrick marries Emma

1949 - Cecil Caulderly starts to work on the machine and feeds it Pemberton and Quentin's work "Revisions" to try and understand it better. The machine reads and reads (and keep reading) everythng it "eats" (Revisions work while the information is read, but because the machine constantly access the information, reality is changed once for all)

1949 - Beatrice talks about Cecil thinks this is only his machine (but it is hers too). Cecil thinks the machine will understand DME for him, but Beatrice thinks this can happen only if they feeds it books. Beatrice also mentions Henry (Henry has feeling for her)

1951 - Kendrick writes "In the Shadow of a passage" about a university professor's relationship with a student, until his work is stolen and published by his rival.

1952 - Emma writes "Doomwild" a novel about a young woman entering the world of academia

1956 - Hammerston Press is purchased by Cecil. Cecil creates a way to make copies from his machine and made copies from Quentin's "Astral Perplexities". What came out was this "Perplexing Astrality" work published with Hammerston press.

1956 - Cecil realizes that when he added Dorothea's "Irrationals" into the machine he changed history, and made it so that Dorothea could actually go to France

1955 - Beatrice Dooler builds the Quantom State Storage system, and feeds it to the machine. This is a way to compress all the information of the index. The machine claims it understands itself better.

1958 - Cecil and Beatrice marry

1959 - Cecil writes a note about the machine being ten years old.

1961 - Aliz is born (from Beatrice and Cecil)

1965 - Emma writes "Greenwalker"

1967 - William (Liam) is born (from Beatrice and Cecil)

1969 - Cecil says his wife Beatrice left him and took Aliz, because he has become a hermit, obsesse with the machine. Cecil says it is because of what happened with Henry (Beatrice left him for Henry?)

1971 - Pierre Letour dies

1972 - Pierre's "A life lived in wartime" (published postumously) talks about the principles of DME, says Kendrick's work was weaponised by a woman (Emma?)

1973 - Kendrick opens Silverton's last letter to him and writes his own last novel "Men Must Devour"

1974 - Kendrick writes "Men Must Devour", his last novel: a professor reads a book that eats his mind. The book ends mid sentence with the professor apologizing to his wife for having done the same to her years before.

1974 - Cecil finds a pamphlet by Cecil Erstwhistle (from 1932), the founder of the Church of the Rampage. Inside it there is also Silverton's last letter to Kendrick. In the same year C. Erstwhistle keeps writing his authoritarian ideologies.

1973 - Ursula Letour (daughter of Pierre Letour) writers "On a Life Unlived" talks about how her father neglected her (like Cecil, her father got lost into revisions)

1975 - Kendrick is committed into an asylum, and later he dies

1976 - Cecil writes that he feels like he is losing his mind. He cautions about observing (reading?) the books. He also wonders how has it all come to this and he says "all for one man, whose mind I never respected anyway".

1977 - Emma writes "Endpeace", a novel about her academic protagonist now turned nurse. She leads a rebellion in France (against the nazis), she casts herself as a hero and makes sure Silverton is still alive/resurrects him. (I suspect she just stopped him from dying. Also this time we can see the contraddiction because things become true for the past once fed into the machine)

1977 - Cecil reads Silverton's last letter to Kendrick. He dies that very year too.

1977 - Beatrice goes to visit Cecil but he doesn't remember her.

1979 - Beatrice writes a note in the machine and mentions that Aliz wants to take over the work. She also says that she told the little one (William?) that Henry is his father.

1980 - Emma writes "Confessionday" where she talks about her husband being dead, and feeling like she never loved him. She remembers once being in love with a brilliant man, until one day out of nowhere he fell for Kendricks.

1981 - Emma is interviewed by the Literary Review. She talks about how Lemarchant Quentin showed her the way to being back the deads. She said that she started thinking about it when the man she loved died, and that her method worked. "I knew almost as soon as it was published"

1981 - Aliz starts working on the machine

1985 - Silverton (now alive in this revisioned reality) writes a letter for his dearest love. The letter was found inside "The Weapon of the Enemy" in 1992 by the Church of the Rampage.

1985 - Aliz stops working on the machine when she sees what the machine is really doing. She enters Emma's "Endpiece" into the machine (That changes the past and Silverton does not die, allowing Emma to marry him)

1989 - C. Erstwhistle keeps writing for the Church of the Rampage.

1992 - Emma writes "Breakcode". Her initials are now E.S. She talks about Cecil believing in a machine who can help humankind. (Emma married Silverton). In the book Emma talks about Revisions will allow a small powerful group of people to change what reality is.

1992 - Pamphlet by the Church of the Rampage is written about how they should use the weapon of the enemy (the power of Revisions)

1999 - Aliz comes back to work on the machine after 14 years. She suspects the Church of the Rampage has been there because she found the 1992 pamphlet on the floor of the archive. Still in 1999 Aliz also enters the book "Breakcode" (by Emma) into the machine (I believe by doing so, Aliz fed into the machine the necessary Revision to make sure that William found the machine itself and put it on the path of destroying Revisions)

So the main concept of the game is that by reading words you can change reality. Normally, this is a very weak power, but once these words have been fed into a machine things change. The machine is a catalogue that by its nature read these words and texts over and over again, all the time, leading to permanent fixed revisions, basically changing the past.

1799 - Xavier Youngman is born

1855 - Xavier writes "Matter in the Dark"

1856 - Quentin Lemarchant is born

1878 - Xavier's "On the Intangibility of Matter" about how the world is the sum of people's believes. He also mentions that he would be able to show the world only if he could live again. (This is where DME/the concept of Revision is born)

1881 - Xavier's death and Dorothea Pemberton is born. (Xavier managed to be born again into Dorothea, and live once more to finish his work)

1896 - Dorothea writes "In my dreams, I walk" at just 15 years old. (Dorothea remembers her past life maybe. It is also said she finds one of Xavier's books. What could have happened is that by reading Xavier's words and his desire to be reborn, her reality/mind was changed and she was convinced she was continuing Xavier's work)

1898 - Pierre Letour is born

1900 - Dorothea writes "An Image in Water" about how semantics is the creation of reality. She quotes "Treasure Island" saying that Silver is a real man, realer than her.

1903 - Joshua Silverton is born (Did Dorothea create him? or was she just referring how she is both Xavier and Dorothea in the previous book?)

1906 - Hammerston Press is founded. It is created to publish anynonimous writings.

1908 - Dorothea writes "Irrationals" where she says that "the hidden stuff of the universe are ideas themselves". Probably met Quentin Lemarchant when she visited France even if she was bedridden. (Probably Quentin read "Irrationals" there and was influenced/changed by it. This happened because all of this was fed into the machine, so the past was changed)

1909 - Emma Meyfleur is born

1909 - Hammerston Press publishes "Primitive Man, He-Who-Remains", a book about fascism basically

1911 - Dorothea dies after writing "End Notes" where she says the rot inside her brain is too severe, so someone else must continue her work (Literary Review asks her to explain her work while she is on her deathbed)

1911 - Quentin writes "Astral Perplexities", inspired by Dorothea, saying that his ideas are not his own anymore.

1918 - Quentin writes "Revisions" and connects Dorothea's ideas with dark matter and science (destroyed by the Church of the Rampaging Christ in an attempt to stop DME)

1922 - Literary Review publishes about the wrongness of Hammerston Press. They also claim to have contacted Dorothea and have asked her help (while she was on her deathbed) to understand her work

1922 - Hammerstone Press publishes "Utopia within reach", it is also revealed that the editor was shot for supporting Mussolini. The culprit said that Literary Review put them up to it. (Literary Review used DME to kill the editor)

1924 - Quentin dies and J. Silverton writes "Semiotic Assertions" paper on dark matter

1920end - Kendrick's research is stolen by a student he was having an affair with, a reviewer accuses Silverton of being the thief (Emma has an affair with Kendrick and steals Kendrick's research, later published by Silverton. It would fit with the Rampage -> Silverton=Arthur saved by his queen)

1929 - Silverton writes "Quantum conceptuals in Nature", a work on DME based on Quentin Lemarchant's work and Dorothy's 1896 work, putting it together in what is the fundamental shape of revision theory

1931 - Silverton writes "The Pen of Galileo", it ruins his reputations and people are mocking him

1932 - Kendrick writes "Dark Matter and the Veil" (reminiscent of Silverton 1929). The Academicalist's Journal says it was eye-opening. (This is when the Academic Journal starts using DME too)

1932 - Silverton writes "Rampage: The Sword Moon" (under Arklovich as a pseduonym). It is about a king being kidnapped and then saved by his queen.

1935 - Silverton writes "Rampage: the Glen of Galileo" (a reference to his old paper), about King Arthur finding a time portal. (In these novels Silverton is represented by King Arthur, Guinevere is Emma and Kendrick is Lancelot)

1936 - Emma writes "Deadvoice" about a medium who can see ghosts of people who have not died yet and about paradoxes. In the novel the medium receives a visit from herself about her own death.

1936 - Kendrick writes "Time and Temporality", a novel about a protagonist always wronged

1937 - Kendrick writes the sequel novel "Temporality Waits for no man" about a love triangle. It is said this is the moment Emma Meyfleur fell in love with him. (Kendrick uses Revisions to influence Emma and make her fall in love with him)

1938 - Silverton writes a letter to Emma calling someone "a rat-bastard" and saying he turned Emma against him and destroyed his reputation

1938 - Emma ends up in France, helping against the nazis. It makes little sense for her to be there.

1939 - Kendrick writes "Doom comes to the doctorate" a novel about a student finding a notebook from a dying university professor, the notebook is about how to change reality. Before fully understanding it, the notebook is stolen until one day a young woman comes back to sell it to him. (Here describing what happened with Emma, Kendrick and Silverton)

1939 - Silverton writes another Rampage book under pseudonym. It refers to a "Silverton curse" and talks about a sentient robot. (I wonder if by trying to create Kendrick's demise, he unadvertedly created the seed for the Church of Rampage, otherwise I cannot explain the names similarity)

1940 - Silverton's final work, a letter that he sent it to Kendrick but the man did not open it until 1973

1940s: Somewhere during WWII, Cecil, Beatrice and Henry (?) start to work together to decipher German secret codes. The Academic journal also seemingly starts to use Revision theory to change things.
