There seems to be a "default status quo" that reality itself seems to be keen on upholding, by manifesting countereffects to the current "irritants": tyrant slayers, aspects of chaos, ways for enslaved godesses to overthrow the current shardholder(s), "empowering" weak shards to be able to rise against godesses (Simon got suspicioulsy lucky with running into most of her exceptional harem, for example), etc... And how does the existence of the balancing mechanisms of the reality could be the cause of Alonon's disappointment? More likely, at least as I see it, is that he had been disappointed in the mindlessness of such mechanisms. For all that we know, he could've been a zealous Ivalan until he somehow was brought in the Tower and began doubting his belief, just like we see Sarai is beginning to doubt Ivala as a trancendental concept as the group progresses into the deeper layers of reality. And when he's seen that there is no higher intent other than the constant interaction of the two mindless powers, it could've broke him alright. On the other hand, Simon, being atheist, was totally cool with this revelation.

Does someone has any idea as to what aspect of the Tower Ginasta is representing? And, more importantly, why has she been active? I mean, as long as we have shards, there will always be senseless IKs like Incubus Supermegaboss and Fucklord. But there wasn't any mention of overpowered humans hunting IKs, so obvously there was a prompt of some sort to invoke a reaction like that from the Tower.

Unless it will be mentioned down the line, of course.
