... in our Real Earth* reality.

As I read the Torg background, the very rules of reality are different 
from cosm to cosm. This must (at least in some cases) include 
fundamental physical laws (gravity in Aysle, just to pick one example).

The potential for realities that break all kinds of rules that we hold 
as capital-T-True certainly exist in Torg. This is not just a factor of 
the tech axiom rating (being just a game abstraction anyway), but of the 
way each setting actually is described to work.

* I use the term Real Earth to distinguish it from the Core Earth 
setting of the game.
