People who build models in the mythical world deal in miniature. They are perhaps designed for structures that might be constructed or could create themselves through the thoughts of exceptional engineers. In our world, models are made of paper or cardboard; think of a piece composed of light, with tools the model maker develops the process over a long period, thinking, drawing, doodling, thinking again, and eventually making themselves skillful modelers; they build a model of things, they are communicating with the materials and forms through their projects. They create beams of light that form into a cube that issues branches of rays that builds a model controlled by the thoughts of the model maker. There is a piece of paper, the modeler draws concepts, the document conforms to what is removed, and the final comes into reality when the modeler says ok. A modeler could use hands and fingers. As touching something physical using the mind, the paper uses its sense to form what the modeler wants.
Modelers seem to be alone because there are no factories in the mythical world, or there were a long time ago, living machines create things and the things from themselves. Modelers had become city planners, advising and working for the city council, leaders, and chiefs of cities, villages, towns, and any settlements of people. They have some workers around them, apprentices and experienced modelers. In the workshop, they craft their work; some things modeled are tremendous because they have so many modelers to take advantage of creating large objects; in other parts of the workshop, regular-size models are being developed and completed simultaneously. They use their imagination to create new cities. Such plans are not always practical, like the vertical city, several blocks of buildings in a cube stacked on another cube of facilities to get from one to the other through an elevator—sphere-shaped cities without planning, vertical irregularly shaped cities, impractical and strange. Anything is possible with a modeler.
They model ideas for other people. It is a way for their customers to see what they want; if that idea doesn’t work, another model is made, and the result, thousands of models are forgotten, some recycled for their parts, even being built into something else that is or was different from the original. Tools for modeling are scattered and forgotten. These modelers don’t only make a small-scale object of the planned project but the real thing; that’s why some people call them makers.
To keep their skills sharp, modelers make small objects first, then make drawings, then the actual thing. They craft these objects out of materials that look like glass or plastic, but this isn’t the material. Anything that is found in nature is used to make objects and models.
Light in the mythical world is made or turned into something solidified that resembles plastic, glass, metal, or cardboard. The tools to accomplish this look like ordinary tools, but they have special powers, some have many parts, and there are electrical parts that make some of them operate. Most are solid with their thoughts or controlled by the modeler who runs them through their minds. One modeler uses giant devices, some being the size of very tall towers, but this is rare for a modeler. Modelers have thousands of tools of all sorts; imagine a tool that floats in the air, and without touching it, the modeler manipulates it as it flows in his or her palm. From a group of tools, a modeler can create one tool for a specific purpose by combining them. Tools are anything the modeler wishes them to be.
Thousands of things in a modeler’s studio or workshop, conceded commissions, aborted ideas, these items are sold or created, not something new. Models are forgotten and later discovered as buyers look through the uses for things to purchase.
There are great places where many model makers assemble to create and complete projects, like a factory. Models of an entire city are created, which take months to plan and build. Not only models but full-scale things are built, like flying devices, vehicles, and automated machines; it doesn’t matter if anything is made. Little objects are models of real-life objects; some could even be microscopic. Anything is possible for the model maker. Teams work on different projects depending on the commission. Models are made for people to see what their envisioned thoughts could look like in reality.
They modeled reality and things on a smaller scale, and no details were left out, as if the structure was miniaturized. That may not be the reality; a device was created that could capture a 3-dimensional image, thus reproducing a smaller-scale image of the real thing. In a way, it’s like scanning. Still, the device seems dubious, meaning that it’s a device of the imagination that exists, with no mechanical or electrical parts, only the energy of the mind. The models created are conceptual. They don’t exist yet; a model that is made becomes so natural that details of each material that is represented can be seen, such as metal, glass, stone, wood, artwork on a wall, dirt, and everything that is part of the world reality could be observed with a magnifying glass.
A tool called micro tools, manipulated by the modeler’s hands, are like needles, tiny spoon and fork shapes of all conceivable forms; the tools change their body as the modeler works using his or her mind or in a voice asking them to change, or changes on its own because the tool itself is a living thing. Its shape will vary according to work required.
As said before, many modelers would work on one model or just a solitary modeler. It didn’t matter as long as the work was done. An automated device of many arms is a tool that resembles a spider built by the model to aid in many projects.
