Freak Whence He

I don't know, maybe I was just behind the door when the Rational Explanation was given out, but so far as I recall the incident is still unsolved. Some loony runs up to Rather on the steps of his Manhattan brownstone, starts pounding on his face, yelling, "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?"

A question that grows more interesting as you try to build it a context. What exactly is the frequency of moments like that one, spots when the Fabric wears a little too thin and the lunacy seeps through, giving us a forbidden glimpse of Mother Chaos beneath?

How often can we expect these intimations? And what if the frequency should change... if it should increase?

What's it mean when we start to get these little hints all the time?
