As I understand it, it is the framework followed by everything in Glorantha. The world was created (devoluted) this way and the 6 original directions impose themselves to everything.
Magic affecting the whole of Glorantha (LBQ, 7M) MUST follow that 6 and 1 frame. Changing the world is in fact moving the center and changing the directions.
That is what happens in the HW and this is a tragedy : as the Heroes defeat their opponents, they "integrate" them and are changed (cf War against War).
If anybody is aware of this IN Glorantha, that may be Mystics close to liberation. However many can wield that power without understanding what they do like the GL did.
