Abstract Cubes

"'This almost unfathomable technology resists us, I swear. I am not confident He would want us to do this. How can grass be grass, and then the next moment a body of water?' - Computer log entry from the Dark Cave"

=Overview= Abstract Cubes are the building blocks of all matter on the Planet. When the Spine Controllers shift the geography of the planet, they cause the various Abstract Cubes to change forms of matter. This can cause Rocks to turn into grass, hills to turn into water, or any other such sort of matter transformation.

Eyes or Concern Controllers possess Spine Controllers to operate them. Spine Controllers operate Planet Spines. Planet Spines manipulate the planet's Abstract Cubes. And the Abstract Cubes changing shapes and forms can change the geography and composition of the entire planet.

=Concern Research= The Abstract Cubes are part of the One Concern's research into Eyes, Concern Controllers, Spine Controllers, and the ability to control Ivory and the entire Planet in general. Research on the Eyes and Abstract cubes was particularly difficult and dangerous. As Robin explores the long-abandoned caves, there are visible signs of mishaps where Eyes have possessed Concern equipment and Abstract Cubes appear in some places that were likely unintended. The Concern figured out how to make Controllers to possess Ivory devices, but never completed their research on the Spine Controllers, being unable to manipulate them fully. An unknown disaster struck in the underground facility, cutting the research short. It was quickly sealed off, and those left inside perished due to unknown causes.

=Observable Instances= While most matter on the planet stays constant, there are some instances where changes can be observed. The most notable and obvious is when the Omega Controller changes the Abstract Cubes around multiple times it while Robin and Royal flee from it.

Changing matter can also be seen in the first room of the Dark Cave. When the lights go off, the ground around Robin will change to a different tile set when the lights come back on.
