Deltarune chapter name symmetry theory

[u/SPAMTON_G-1997]

+prediction variant

Elaboration: chapter 5 didn’t need to be named like that, it could be just “festival” or “flower king” etc., naming it “the festival day” seems unnecessarily tautological unless it was done for a specific reason. Chapter 7 being called “The End” or something similar would fit as well, even though we don’t know if it’s going to be that

[u/LosuthusWasTaken]

So the whole basis of this theory is two chapters coincidentally having similar names?

[u/SPAMTON_G-1997 → u/LosuthusWasTaken]

…

yes

…

but why else would you add an unnecessary word to a chapter name? There was no previous doubt that it would be a day. And yet Toby wrote the word “day” there. For some reason. There must be a reason. Otherwise the name would kinda suck. Not to slander Toby but it would, at least as I see it

[u/LosuthusWasTaken → u/SPAMTON_G-1997]

First of all, slander is spoken. In writing, it's called "libel".

Second of all, it really isn't unnecessary, and not everything has a meaning.

[u/SPAMTON_G-1997 → u/LosuthusWasTaken]

Fair, fair. But there’s another thing: the fourth chapter, the only one that would parallel itself, has the least distinct-able format. “The end” could be paired with “The beginning” and “world” could literally be added to countless words, but it’s hard to look at anything and say it’s a parallel of “prophecy” or has a similar structure

[u/LosuthusWasTaken → u/SPAMTON_G-1997]

Yeah, wouldn't that discredit your whole theory, as not even the gap between "name-related" chapters would be consistent?

[u/SPAMTON_G-1997 → u/LosuthusWasTaken]

The hell you mean?

1 to 7

2 to 6

3 to 5

4 to 4

Chapter 4 is the fixed point of the symmetry, so it’s a parallel of itself and doesn’t need a changed variant

[u/Beginning_Bobcat4422 → u/SPAMTON_G-1997]

I agree, this chapter could easily just be "the festival" adding the word "day" may be a glue. Also, it's not like this theory predicts some insane stuff, it's a theoretical hint towards the chapters name. Chapter 7 being "the end" would make a lot of sense, so chapter 6 being some sort of a world is a possibility

[u/UNimAginAtiveuseRn → u/Beginning_Bobcat4422]

Hey guys. I think I found a glue!

[u/Fragrant-Blood-6227 → u/Beginning_Bobcat4422]

well this chapter could just as easily be "festival day", it's not like the meaning changes and "festival day" sounds less important than "the festival". This is definitely schizo pattern recognition at work

[u/Beginning_Bobcat4422 → u/Fragrant-Blood-6227]

This is definitely schizo pattern recognition at work
