The God Maker - Doctor Who - School Reunion - Series 2 - BBC

The Tenth Doctor explains and rejects the Skasis Paradigm. (TV: School Reunion)

The Skasis Paradigm (also known as the God Maker or the Universal Theory) was the mathematical equation behind the way the universe worked. Anyone who cracked the paradigm would be able to control the very building blocks of the universe, granting them the power of a god (TV: School Reunion) over space and time. (COMIC: Fugitive) For this reason, the Tenth Doctor believed that the Paradigm was never meant to be solved due to the immense power it had; he himself was briefly tempted to use it before being talked down. (TV: School Reunion)

History[]

The Krillitanes took over Deffry Vale High School to crack the paradigm. The Krillitane, Lassar, posing as headmaster Mr Finch, believed that if he could crack the paradigm he would be able to redo all of reality and improve it.

Immeasurably complex, the Paradigm required intense computational power, intelligence and, most crucially, imagination to be solved; as such, only children were capable of cracking the Paradigm as only they possessed the imagination necessary to solve the God Maker. Krillitane oil-infused chips were fed to the school's student body, dramatically increasing their intelligence to the levels required to solve the equation. However, their integration of other species' biology from conquering their planets made the oil lethal to the Krillitanes. The Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith, Sarah Jane Smith, and K9 Mark III all fought against the Krillitanes to keep them from cracking the Skasis Paradigm. Though Lassar tempted the Doctor with a way to reverse the horrors of the Last Great Time War and undo ageing and death by use of the Paradigm, Sarah Jane reminded the Doctor that these experiences were necessary to make life meaningful.

With the Doctor destroying their computers, the Krillitanes responded by preying on every human life at the school. Mickey then stopped the calculations by unplugging the network and evacuating the students. K9 Mark III would give up his life to slay the entire horde with the same oil they had grown vulnerable to, destroying the school in the process. (TV: School Reunion)
