A "world" could be regarded as a Mathematical Machine containing all data and computational rules, an immense system for storing and processing information. That was why the essence of the Great Annihilation could be seen as conflict and severe bugs produced when several incompatible "systems" were forcibly merged...

The collision of Mathematical Machines had thrown the once
