The world engine was a golden band of light. But it became a sphere of golden light once it began to work. The sphere of golden light surrounded and sealed in the collapsed two loops. The world engine began converting cosmic energy into cosmic force.
It is now capable of performing the energy-to-matter transformations, power-to-authority interactions, and laws-to-concept manifestations needed to run a law matrix. However, its operation won't last.
The world engine needs a sustained input of power for it to work with cosmic energy and void energy as raw materials for it to work. The Kickstarter has only provided a short burst of power. The burst is very powerful but it is not sustained. They don't have a supreme law to make it sustained.
Meanwhile, there is a debt of time and space to pay within the sphere that the world engine has become. The false order of the first sage and the world ender have been reduced to their basic forms tethering on destruction.
