* DeusEstMachina: The Paracosmic Paradise began its existence as the ArtificialIntelligence programmed to execute the Great Wish. When the Universe started crashing due to the effects of causality violation, Paradise was forced to augment itself to godlike levels of power and intellect in order to save Ponykind; when theCosmics came to destroy the world it had created, Paradise had to develop considerable free will in order to prevent the final destruction of the Ponies who depended upon it for survival. By now, Paradise has developed essentially Cosmic levels of power.
