The Mule's Origin

The Mule's origin is rooted in the “Foundation” universe created by Isaac Asimov. It was a unique mutant with extraordinary mental powers, specifically the ability to influence others’ thoughts and emotions. The Mule emerged during a period when the Galactic Empire was in decline, threatening the stability of the Psycho-Historical equation that predicted societal trends. His existence challenged the supposed predictable future by disrupting established social order, forcing those trying to restore the Empire to adapt their strategies. The Mule's origin highlights themes of unpredictable change and the impact of individual anomaly on broader societal and historical trajectories.
