Adaptation proposal

B · Inverts or challenges the source's original moral

Adaptation note

Proposal B keeps the fall of the archangel, the council in Pandemonium, the crossing of Chaos, the War in Heaven, creation, the temptation and the expulsion, and rereads them through geometry and thermodynamics: sulphur as constraint, optical disguise, free will as the direction of entropy.

    The Chaotic Manifold of Paradise Lost and the Star of Negative Entropy

    The Fiery Lake, Eden, the Fall

    The fallen archangel wakes chained upon a lake of fire and decides that an unconquerable will is all he still has. Twenty-four chapters in three volumes of eight: the fiery lake, the council in Pandemonium and the crossing of Chaos; the garden, the War in Heaven and the six days of creation; the temptation, the fall and the walk out of Eden.
