In the beginning there was Hypothesis, and behold! The Hypothesis was good. The Hypothesis was with Science, and the Science with Hypothesis, and in their union, they began to forge a universe of law and order between them. But Hypothesis was not constant. After a while, Science realized that Hypothesis no longer fit the growing universe quite right, so Science introduced a laborious process with Hypothesis in order to make Theory. Science would only be in union with Hypothesis long enough to produce Theory. This was to be the first of many unions, for while Theory could have no other consort than Science, Science could have many unions with many different Theories. Hypothesis was content with this arrangement, because it became uncomfortable when it didn’t fit quite right.

In those days, Theory was said to be born of Hypothesis through the incredibly difficult labor of Experimentation. However, after many seasons together, Science and Theory became so comfortable together that it became unreasonable to go through the difficult process of Experimentation. Theory then became jealous of science and sought to raise its value at Science’s expense. After a lengthy discussion, Science agreed to rename Theory as Truth. Theory became very content with its new name.

Hypothesis became alarmed that it was no longer held in such high esteem by Science. It had held the position of precursor to Theory for so long, that it was difficult for it to not serve its purpose. There was no longer room for Theory, because Truth required no Experimentation, thus there was no need for Hypothesis in union with Science. Hypothesis reluctantly sat alone one day, until it was greeted by Political Agenda.

Political Agenda told Hypothesis that it, too, could become Truth just by saying so. Hypothesis was doubtful, but agreed to try it. After a period of many seasons, Hypothesis understood that it, too, could be Truth, just by repeating early and often. Since Hypothesis became truth without the laborious process of Experimentation, its union with Science was severed.
