If I recall correctly, Akatosh was mentioned in C0DA, but he usually represents the middle of time, whereas the events in C0DA are at the 'end'. The idea of a Coda skipping over a section of linear time seems to me like it would have more to do with the Time God. I'm not entirely sure what the link between a Coda and the Amaranth is (unless the Amaranth 'woke up' and started dreaming some other thing?). There was still a bit of linear time that happened. ( Here is a handy diagram to help you in case what I'm saying only makes sense inside my head)Īnyway, basically what I'm trying to say in lore-terms is that there was a whole section of linear time that kept on repeating (which, I guess, could be the kalpic cycle) however, its 'ending', with the introduction of the Coda, was suddenly completely skipped over to 'play' the final, alternate future. However, this whole section won't be replayed entirely because somewhere towards the end, "To Coda" (or the symbol) will be written, telling you to skip the rest of the section and jump straight to the actual Coda. I'm gonna explain this in very literal music terms because that's the only way I can really explain it, but in pieces that have a Coda, there is usually " dal segno al Coda" written at the end of the main section that tells you to return to wherever the dal segno is. So I guess if we take a Coda (as in, the musical term) literally, then it could suggest that the events of C0DA are an alternate future. You know, I've been thinking, this whole thing ties in directly with the whole idea of the 'Music of the Aurbis'. I always just saw it on the page and thought "yep, let's go to the last bit", but I totally forgot its name. I knew I recognised that symbol from somewhere but I couldn't quite place it. I wrote a comment on it in an earlier thread on C0DA that was, thankfully, not completely wrong and mental (shameless self-promotion here):ĭo you know what an actual coda is? It's a music term, meaning a passage that brings a piece to an end.Īwesome. Jumping immediately to a separate sectionĪlso with special ending for the final verse Well well well, theres some more references to the plot. For example, this can be used to provide a special ending for the final verse of a song." The instruction "To Coda" indicates that, upon reaching that point during the final repetition, the performer is to jump immediately to the separate section headed with the coda symbol. It is used where the exit from a repeated section is within that section rather than at the end. "In music notation, the coda symbol, which resembles a set of crosshairs, is used as a navigation marker, similar to the dal Segno sign. Interesting.įurthermore the idea of "bringing to an end" which has heavy heavy ties with the whole plot/concept of C0DA as a story and with the idea of Landfall. Much like memory, which is being replaced by C0DA as the way people can retrace their histories. Seems to have to do with whats been "left behind". "Coda (Italian for "tail", plural code) is a term used in music in a number of different senses, primarily to designate a passage that brings a piece (or a movement) to an end." - The wonderful wikipedia.
