Surography, also known as hyperography or parography, is the extraordinary or miraculous ability of a person to write to extensive lengths, especially in a relatively short period of time or through defying their current level of knowledge, and especially as a result of experiencing indrucies. A person considered to have demonstrated surographical feats is known as a surographer.

​

Occurrences of surography are generally not considered supernatural, but are instead classified as preternatural and may sometimes be referred to as being miraculous.

​

In Astronism, a sign of Cometan's propheticity is considered to be his surographic authorship of the Omnidoxy. It is mainly from this that the belief in the preternaturality of Cometan has emerged.

​

Forms and requirements of surography​

Two forms of surography are considered to exist including religious surography and non-religious surography. For a text and author to be considered surographical, they must have demonstrated at least five of the following eight characteristics:

• Considerable body of new terms (neologisms) invented

• Extensive length (usually over 500,000 words)

• Known to have experienced indrucies

• Little to no prior knowledge on the subjects

• Prodigy of the subject matter

• Showing signs of visionary or ecstatic experience

• Writing on subject's not written by others

• Written as though in another language or sentence structure

Examples of figures considered to have exhibited religious surography include:

• Cometan

Cometanic surography

Some arguments put forward in favour of the Omnidoxy being a preternatural work of surography by Cometan include:

• Cometan had received no education or formal training the subjects of theology and philosophy.

• Cometan created an extensive set of neologisms as part of the Omnidoxy.

• Cometan experienced a multiple of indrucies during his writing of the Omnidoxy.

• At times in the Omnidoxy, Cometan wrote as though he was writing in another language which makes some part of the Omnidoxy difficult to read.

• Cometan demonstrated signs of ecstasy and visionary through the way he spoke about his spiritual relationship with The Cosmos and his prophesying of future events.

• Cometan wrote on subjects of cosmic philosophy and aspects of theology and philosophy not yet written by others.

• Cometan was seventeen years old when he began writing the Omnidoxy making him a prodigy of the subject matter.

• The extensive length of the Omnidoxy at 2 million words written by a single author.
