Interuniversal surveying. Perhaps even interuniversal mining and fracking. They're all on the table, different prologues with the same end result: When someone starting exploring spacetime, they cracked open a faultline in the process.
[ that's one theory, anyway. an intentional pursuit with unintended consequences. ]
