But just WLs, not axioms. The LoAcceptance doesn't say that there
won't be reality clashes, just that you can use foreign WLs in
the Star Sphere without it causing a contradiction. I think dropping
a different reality into the Star Sphere would create the same
reality backlash that it would create anywhere else.

It's not necessary for multiple worlds in one cosm to have different WLs
any more than multiple cultures in one cosm should have different WLs.
That's how I see the razor slicing things. Different WLs mean different
realities to me, and by definition you can't have multiple realities
naturally existing within a cosm.
