A freeform multivalent polyscopic entity is an 'unseeable' consciousness.


In Neil Mach's clean urban fantasy thriller, Moondog and the Galium Satyr, the main character describes a freeform multivalent polyscopic entity.

Moondog suggests that the spectral Queen of Cùl Lodain 'haunts' the Kullbookie Clootie Hole and is a freeform multivalent polyscopic entity.


Freeform = an entity that lacks a rigid structure or typical physical constraints

Multivalent = an entity that is subtle and/or ambiguous

Polyscopic = an entity that can be viewed or witnessed in various ways i.e. poly (from the ancient Greek) meaning multiple and scopic (also from the ancient Greek) meaning observable


Therefore, a freeform multivalent polyscopic entity is a vital force that has a unique and independent existence, and remains free from conventional physical limitations, though its existence may be subtle or unclear.


A freeform multivalent polyscopic entity can be hard to perceive, so special apparatus might have to be used to 'witness' the presence of the phenomena.


A Clootie Hole, also called a Clootie Well, is associated with traditional healing traditions and might be found in sacred Celtic locations, typically in Scotland, Ireland, or in Cornwall.


During the Christian era, pilgrims would visit Clootie Holes, sometimes described as holy wells, to offer sacrifices to the multivalent polyscopic entity that 'dwells' at the Hole, typically with the intention of curing an ailment.

A "cloot" or piece of cloth that had come into contact with the sick individual would be tied to a nearby tree by the travelling pilgrim. The 'miracle' was accomplished with the help of the multivalent polyscopic entity; it was believed that the illness would subside as the cloot decomposed.
