I caught on when the hero said the Counter-Force would never return, although what really made it click was when ShardPhoenix called it a “quantum luckworld”, which is a beautifully descriptive term. Still, I would have liked to see the hero go on to actually explain a little of the ahntharhapik principle to the council at the end; then it wouldn’t just be a good story for the LW audience but a good story for anyone. Right now, you have to figure out the payoff for yourself, which only works if you are already familiar with the underlying concepts.
