Language, impossibility

...really? And I thought you were better at this than that.
Impossible to describe?

That would be a possible reading if "impossibility" really is a possible meaning of the cauldron.

"Impossibility" might be a possible meaning of the cauldron, but it's not one the alethiometer is using.

Inevitability suffering, maybe? A reference to the template attractor that was first codified with Harley?

Nope! Although that would be a good one too. XD

Inevitability change? They're always changing? Or they change fate?

Okay.

You said, "describe Jokers". The alethiometer responded, "Jokers" - specifically, Alpha-omega:totality Crucible:essential-nature. The phrase means something like, "The people who are purely and completely themselves". In context, it means something more like "Jokers are Jokers, which is one of their strongest defining characteristics."
