Bravida's LawYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. Bravida’s Law is a rule of thumb derived by the renowned Genome Raider Eldorado Bravida to describe the rate of mutation among Asymptotes. The Law describes this rate of change as follows: The rate of mutation of those genetic features that can be described as Asymptotic tends to double once every 18 months. A number of further addenda exist to the Law as described above. Most prominent among these is one that states: The rate of mutation in those genetic features tending towards Asymptotic tends from positive infinity to 18 months. Another prominent addendum simply rewords the above statement, effectively inverting it. There are a number of theories as to how Bravida developed his rule. Most histories claim that it was developed as the result of numerous studies conducted on a variety of subjects in an advanced lab that has since been lost. Some histories, however, claim that Bravida worked out of the back of a scrap-merchant’s wagon and had to make do with what few specimens he could obtain on his weekly Genome Raids. There is also a line of thought among some, generally those dismissed as paranoid conspiracy theorists, that Bravida was gifted with his insight by an as yet undetermined, although most probably alien, source. Most people, however, are pretty certain that he just was doing a bit of educated thumb-sucking and happened upon that one instance of random luck coinciding with reality…
