PLEASE SEND MAGIC or fiction if you don't have any magic [Open]
Auder reacts to interdimensional fiction

There are other worlds! And we can communicate with them! And our physicists are no longer confident in their understanding of base reality!

This clearly means that THERE MIGHT BE MAGIC. Prediction markets have the probability of magic existing observably in the ENTIRE TENTHS OF PERCENTS.

So. PLEASE SEND US INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO MAGIC. WE WILL PAY YOU LITERALLY FIVE PERCENT OF OUR GDP FOR THE NEXT DECADE IF YOU TEACH US TO ACTUALLY DO MAGIC. Less than five percent maybe on the outside chance that more than one of you teaches us to do magic. Five percent to the first to teach us real magic, definitely. Potentially much more depending on the magic and its economic value. The five percent is for sharing literally any magic that works.

Here is a detailed description of what we mean by magic, and a summary of our current understanding of physics to compare it against. Here are some examples of fictional things that qualify as magic.

If you don't have any magic, we will accept interesting fiction, but please submit it with the header [NOT REAL MAGIC] so that we don't get our hopes up. Our global team of volunteers who are collectively watching for instructions about how to do magic at all hours of the day will read it and come up with some thoughts, to thank you for reading this and talking with us.

If you send us fake magic as a joke we will be extremely upset. Please do not send us fake magic as a joke. Doing so would sour interworld relationships with us for a very long time.

(Edit: Magic mostly means conceptualmagic which has a significant gap in complexity between its observed effects in higher level ontologies and the most basic ontologies, without physics bridging the gap. The definition of conceptualmagic for this purpose is relatively lax by some standards used to classify magic in fiction: for example, anything which does high-ontology-basic "targeting" or "targeting limitations" without physical compute implementing the targeting limitations, such as effects which treat objects, creatures, element or substance classes besides the chemical, personhood, or minds as fundamental things. A specific example: a wand which doubles the dimensions of objects when a person taps an object with it has several conceptualmagic elements in the form of the implementation of the object enlargement, the object targeting, the tapping recognition, and the person recognition, all of which are compactly expressible in high-level ontologies but not low-level ones, and if the wand does this without a mechanism that bridges the gap such as nanomachines or extradimensional compute analyzing object contiguity and tapping and deciding how to interpolate wood grain when scaling up a piece of wood, it would qualify as magic. However, magic can also refer to things which probably do have some explanation that makes sense in the lowest-level ontologies if they are sufficiently fictional-powerlike, such as some way of getting superpowers which happen to rely on extradimensional compute left by an extinct multiversal civilization with a higher tech level without us having to build extradimensional compute ourselves. We're aware that this description isn't perfect, please don't try to game our description of magic to take 1% of our GDP, if you interpret this in a way that leads you to classify something as magic which we don't we are very sorry for the imperfect characterization.)
