Relatively idealized space-time oscillation ripples provided the best backdrop for testing and filtering out anomalies.
Ronan could compare them against purely theoretical materials on Space-Time Configuration—materials he had dug out of the External Neuron Database and could barely translate—to conduct standardized verification, comparing data models he was not particularly skilled with against actual sensory results.
It was precisely through these abundant, precise theoretical models that he could swiftly identify aspects of reality that failed to meet the standard, then follow the possibilities provided by theory to locate the most likely sources of interference.
There were at least two factors causing the deviation.
One of them was practically obvious.
It was the Cloud Top World formed by the compression between the Mist Labyrinth and Earth Local Time-Space.
Strictly speaking, this plane, built upon shattered Space-Time Fragments and given an outer "coat" by the rules of Earth Local Time-Space, could only be considered a "temporary phenomenon." It was not particularly stable to begin with.
Because of the full-scale contact between the Deep Blue World and Earth Local Time-Space, this region had shifted slightly.
Had it been the earliest stage, when Ronan had needed the telescope structure his Father and mother had set up in North Shore Gear to log into Cloud Top World, that tiny shift might have taken him a long time to correct and realign with the target.
Of course, that was no longer a problem.
Yet this movement of Cloud Top World revealed something:
Given Cloud Top World's scale, it could only account for a minuscule portion of the relevant deviation. In fact, if Ronan had not possessed a thorough understanding and control of Cloud Top World, the influence of this slight deviation could have been disregarded in a rougher calculation.
