The Second Mover (Eevo: Sett Arn; Clofabosin: ribilzavudan) is a central Trician spiritual concept representing creativity, agency and moral good within humans. The belief states that we humans are responsible for "creation" and formulating rules, where "God has left off", even when no one is telling us what to do. This set of beliefs is often called Ngronaism (ŋroonainih).
Todo: A pithy Talman term for the cognitive faculties (cf. Sinosphere "knowledge, emotion and willpower") or for the virtues (cf. "the true, the good, and the beautiful"): "reason, compassion and hope"/"reason, compassion and action"?
History
The concept of the Second Mover admits multiple different interpretations. Some people think it says too much, some people think it says nothing at all. Generally, the Second Mover is seen as the force of progress - be it scientific or social/moral progress.
In one sense, historical beliefs about the Second Mover are analogous to henotheism - there were many gods but only one god, namely the Second Mover, was worthy of worship.
Origin
Placeholder for early reference to Ȝrocsaeā as the 2nd Mover.
The "Second Mover" concept began as a goddess of mathematics and the arts, called Ȝrosnaeā (Old Eevo Ŋrónae; modern Eevo Ŋroonai) in Old Eevo texts. Ancient Thensarian pagans saw a duality (i.e. an opposite but complementary relationship) between nature and human endeavors such as science, mathematics and the arts. The creator god Ħembānom, First Mover, created nature; Ȝrocsaeā, the Second Mover, then helps humans analyze and create. Man was mostly meant to "stay in his lane", with 3rocsaeā (+ a few other gods) as their only mediator between him and nature.
After the Verse:Tricin/Talman Dark Ages, this gave way to a more adversarial understanding of the relationship between the First and the Second Movers, which now pitted Ȝrosnaeā as the embodiment of "the true, the good, the beautiful" against the capricious forces of nature and the First Mover. At this point, Ȝrocsaeā had become identified with the Netagin goddess Ȝăfösö of justice. The progress of scientific understanding encouraged the further abstraction the Second Mover concept, as it was recognized as an impersonal and significant force as opposed to the First Mover (Eevo: sett ŋaðrar), the principle responsible for the creation of the world and its natural laws.
Society and politics
The Second Mover was not always a universalist idea that it is commonly thought of as today. Quasi-Calvinist interpretations of the Second Mover prevailed among the ruling elite, where only the select few had the essence of the Second Mover which granted them the right to rule.
