The Official Stationery Voyagers Glossary

The following page is a list of terms in Stationery Voyagers and their meanings.

Trinitarian personhoods

 * Primalus: God the Father
 * Secondarius: God the Son
 * Trimalus: God the Holy Spirit

Definition Essentials
n. (proper plural), All true-by-definition imperatives that influence divine behavior and require divine and non-divine alike to possess behavior and attributes defined by said restrictions.

Example: By definition of what being God means, God cannot be removed from his throne. Therefore, the Vile Chameleon can never have what he wants and will be eternally frustrated and antagonistic.

Volition Dilemma
n. (proper), The requirement that love must at least initially involve choice, hence, opportunity for rejection, which in turn requires the temporary allowance of free will for created sentient beings. This principle requires that evil have the opportunity to exist so that good can be thoroughly defined.

Vocational Destiny
n. (proper), A created being's predetermined purpose for existence, specific calling for life, or temporal fate. This is determined by a number of factors, including Volition Dilemma. A being may consciously make a choice that gets them involved in a car accident or may be taken off-guard and become involved due to forces beyond their control. Whatever choice they had prior to said incident may or may not be relevant to the morality of their situation.

Fate is the by-product of how the outcomes of individual expressions of will interact through logical fallout. Hence, the Web of Destiny used to graph reconstructions of events when Stationery societies handle investigations. The Web of Destiny concept is similar to the Wheel of Fortune proposed by Boethius and to the model of fate connection presented in the film Magnolia.
