This nodal document gives access to a special collection of short stories in the shape of fictional legends.

In this case, the legends are not handed down by tradition but rather handed over to tradition, so that they may become part of future denominational literature and philosophy. Legends coming down from earlier times are usually not verifiable, let alone true. They may be partially true, partially false. The same applies to the present legendry: altho none of the stories is true from beginning to end, parts of these stories may have been inspired by real events experienced by the author 'imself or by others in the past, sometimes the recent past, sometimes the distant past. They are presented as fiction and therefore give both the writer and the reader the freedom to fantasize. This freedom is used here to gain a deeper insight into matters other than the pure and apparent facts of the empirical realm.

The stories in this branch are short to very short. The first paragraph always starts with the words The other day, after which an event is introduced which is said to have happened to the originator of the neutral-inclusive Norm. The event may have taken place in reality, but if not, it could or might have taken place. What ensues is a dialog or, more often, a monolog. The last paragraph always starts with the words And this the originator of the Norm added.

The fictional legends are listed here in reverse chronological order:
