Cyclus Essendi – The cycle of being.
We start with Life which is the collection of Order, creating a living breathing entity. Over time this entity grows up, going through the transformative process of Rot as their Order slowly unravels. Eventually they Die, the Order that created them now splitting apart back into Chaos. As their bodies Decay, this Chaos begins to slowly coagulate back into Order, creating another Life.
In essence, we can compare the cycle to a heart beat where the systolic (contraction) is Life into Rot and the diastolic (release) is Death into Decay. The transformative processes of Rot and Decay can be comparable to Solve et Coagula, respectively.
This order, or cycle, serves to exist in everything we see physically. Plants, animals, humans, even the basic concepts of rocks. All follow the rules of the Cyclus and all end the same way: returning the energy needed to create these objects or entities back into the eternal Chaos of the world. All energy taken will one day return and once again create something new. This is the Cyclus Essendi, and therefore this cycle should be protected from interruption.
