6This is a nexus, and worse, one observed by the Guild– ValorumCommented Jul 1 at 12:56

18A general rule in the Dune novels, prescience is normally rendered blind in the presence of other prescient people - as pointed out, the Guild navigators, even the early ones, can render prescience ineffective. This is a major plot point in Dune Messiah.– user25730Commented Jul 1 at 22:32

5@user25730: So, do the two guild navigators mutually block out their own prescience then?– O. R. MapperCommented Jul 1 at 22:56

2@O.R.Mapper I'd imagine so!– user25730Commented Jul 1 at 22:59

5@JaredSmith "The prescient knowledge of the time-boiling variables in this cave came back to plague him now. His new understanding told him there were too many swiftly compressed decisions in this fight for any clear channel ahead to show itself. Variable piled on variable—that was why this cave lay as a blurred nexus in his path. It was like a gigantic rock in the flood, creating maelstroms in the current around it."– Fabio says Reinstate MonicaCommented Jul 3 at 0:53

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
