If everything is predetermined, why is Jadis seemingly so bent on persuading Alison of the futility of it all? Either Alison gives up or Alison presses forward, but either way the decision is unchanged.

...and then I recall Jon Osterman being surprised to learn that Dan was sleeping with his wife shortly after telling Dan he was about to be surprised to learn that Dan was sleeping with his wife. Predeterminism gives me a headache.

IIRC Operant talked about how not all of the readers are necessarily terminally online enough to have seen this predetermination horse beaten to death over and over--where the people beating the horse have really just created a prison for themselves and are invested in selling their worldview to others for validation.

It probably goes without saying that Jadis/Shape-Hole-Corpse is just trying to explain herself/itself to Allison. Like the other demiurges, she/it feels a weird compulsion to spill the beans to Allison and her cohort. Maybe the demiurges feel a lingering submission to Zoss' authority.

Perhaps she wants Allison to refute her conclusion in some way she hasn't thought of.

Though it's not really clear she even has thoughts other than "Ahhhhhhh I see everything make it stop make it stop!"

Well, as stated, it's what she does. but even if it wasn't what she does, I think she'd do it anyway.

Almost nobody is simultaneously as smug and as craving of validation as a person who's convinced they've got it all figured out and the answer is: nihilism. Misery loves company. Being the one who knows that nothing matters (and thinking that's the kind of world-shattering revelation worth basing an entire self-image around) is almost impossible not to start thinking of as a point of pride - unlike the sheeple who believe in gods or absolute morality or the inherent goodness of mankind or earning lots of money or whatever, you're the one who understands the truth.
