| - | Dimensions are divided into 4 types. | ||
| - | |||
| - | - A shared dimension. A dimension which spills out into other dimensions. Various matter movement limitations might apply. | ||
| - | - A fully open dimension. Matter can move in and out with no limitations. | ||
| - | - A partially enclosed dimension. Matter can move in and out, however matter original to the dimension cannot leave, or original matter migration is greatly limited. | ||
| - | - A fully enclosed dimension. No matter can go in or out. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Type 1 ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Type 1 dimensions are common. Most of the time matter can move in and out with no limitations, but in some cases various matter limitations might apply. A typical scenario is a time shift, when a dimension is completely identical, but shifted into either past or future. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Type 2 ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Dimensions which have no matter limitations and yet do not spill into other dimensions are classified as Type 2. These dimensions require the [[Normal Portal]] to be accessed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Type 3 ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Type 3 dimensions are either not common or more difficult to locate. They feature a one-way biased entrance, usually pointed inwards, so that entering the dimension is straightforward, while going back is difficult or impossible. The funnels of Type 3 dimensions also tend to have more extreme limitations aside from a one-way bias. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Type 4 ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Type 4 dimensions cannot be studied directly, but they have been inferred from measuring [[interdimensional variance]]. They have also been probed via the [[Exotic Portal]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Warped Bubble Wrap ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | A large number of theories have been proposed over the years in order to explain why different types exist. The main difficulty was to explain what defines a dimension type, and if it is defined by the properties of the dimension or the funnels between dimensions. Nothing about the dimensions themselves seemed to hint at their types. However, the limitations of the Normal Portal made it impossible to measure anything beyond the properties of the dimensional funnels, making all hypotheses mere speculation. | ||
| - | |||
| - | It is with the invention of the Exotic Portal that it became possible to measure interdimensional variance, and thus create a testable model of how different dimensions relate to each other. | ||
| - | |||
| - | It is now proposed that dimensions exist in a special type of 3D+ space where they are crowded around a common reality source. And the type is dependent not on the properties of a dimension or the funnel, but by how far the dimension is away from our own dimension. This model is colloquially known as the Warped Bubble Wrap model, although its academic title is Interdimensional Shifting, referring to the variance of a dimensional coordinates in relation to the reality source. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Reality source is a set of properties which all the dimensions around it are a variance of. By moving away from our reality source, Exotic Portal can measure other reality sources, which are "far away" from us, although the distance is mathematical, not spacial. Spatially, all the dimensions exist in exactly the same coordinates. | ||
