Hey, guys! Since we all are the Prisoners of Nirn as Sotha Sil called us, here are some excerpts that might explain us the current stability of Nirn-Prior (the version of the world each TES game takes place in) lore-wise. It also mentions a computer ("a tool without any known use, or an answer-machine that prints only questions"), the time when ZOS finally makes "a perfect world, without et'Ada Gears" (those annoying glitches I guess), the world "without the illusion of change" (those endless balance changing patches I presume).

So the Truth turns out to be in sequence, perfected craft, and in the use of obscure: this is the surest path to Tamriel Final as the Lore states it.
I give my warmest thanks to the Lore team - they've always been doing a really great job! I hope the programming team reaches the same level so I will not get that, say, Deserter debuff each time the Battlegrounds fail to arrange a match.

Victory for the Three.

=========================================
"If the people of Tamriel must exist inside this cell. I will make sure that the walls are stable, the gaps are sealed, and all who remain stay safe within it." - Sotha Sil.

"In the clumsily built Nirn-Prior, the et'Ada Gears left gaps and crevices where Nothing could take root. Imperfections born from Lorkhan's Great Lie and the selfishness of fractured creation. In the glorious Anuic convergence of the Nirn-Ensuing, all gaps will be sealed. All crevices will be welded. The creaking and rattling of the machine shall retreat to a whisper, and the reckless chaos born from the et'Ada Gears' folly shall shrivel and starve."

"It is a Nirn in pieces, assembled by the unsteady hand that has yet to find itself. Its oscillations irregular, its going train disrupted by fear and delusion. Its faults are not in its parts, but in its assembly. Each gear is a god. Each spring is a thought. But a mechanism built by many hands cannot know the precision of the master craftsman. The et'Ada Gears cannot bring forth a true Nirn, because they know only its parts. They cannot see the whole. The Eye of Sotha Sil ignores such division. Where the broken gods see only pieces, our Father Sotha Sil sees the whole. He sees the Second Nirn."

"For the scholar of maths, it could require half-mad theorems—rooms of cubic numbers and functions only imagined. For the inventor, it may demand a tool without any known use, or an answer-machine that prints only questions."

"I pray that we see the fruit of His labor—a perfect world, without et'Ada Gears. Without the illusion of change. Water-tight and everlasting."
