In the magical framework of InnerSpace, we deliberately refrain from providing a rigid definition of the term magic. Instead, we use magic to refer to a system composed of devices and methodologies that we regard as multifunctional and rational—exceeding the limits of complexity typically accessible to scientific understanding and pure reason.
InnerSpace starts from a materialistic philosophical perspective, applying dialectical materialism and materialistic functionalism to validate the assumptions underlying magic. It posits that the rational behavior of matter is fundamental and that magic naturally arises from this rationality. InnerSpace also incorporates art as a methodological tool, with all artworks within its system intended as magical artifacts called magificia.
In InnerSpace the term magic refers to a distilled concept that, within our worldview, is very logical and rational, although its subject might appear irrational. Our conclusion is that it reflects a higher order of complexity in matter. We also treat magic as a system reflecting a more complex form of thinking and consciousness, based not on reason and thought, but on sentience and emotion. It is crucial to clarify that we accept the basic assumptions underlying the general concept of magic as true: that dead matter invariably behaves in the most rational way possible, and that magic—real magic—is an inevitable consequence of this rational behavior.
Within InnerSpace, the range of methods and doctrines we group under the term magic also encompasses astrology, alchemy, necromancy, technomancy, spirituality and religion, superstition and various other forms of wisdom and theories that are often considered irrational.
