Summary
In this Prelude scene, which happened about three years before the beginning of play, Kenneth Malcolm Lawson was on his way to the most important test of his life to date: His Law School Assessment Test, the dreaded LSAT. On his way to the Testing Facility, Malcolm, contemplating the Philosophical concept of Divine Logos - Universal Law - which was a concept that Malcolm always found appealing, and saw evidence of the world conforming to his belief, as if it was indeed the case. Almost arriving late to the Testing Center, Malcolm began the test, but as the test proceeds, Malcolm's increasing awareness that the Universe truly was ordered by an unseen, unknown, but discoverable and comprehensible sublime order, nothing at all felt random to him anymore. Seeing the patterns within the patterns in everything around him. Malcolm turned the epiphany of this deeper truth to his advantage in taking the test itself, deducing the patterns behind the answers, enabling him to find even the most occluded truths in the pattern beneath all patterns. Though the Epiphany faded when the test was over, its essential lesson remained, and Malcolm's perspective of the world has never since been the same.
