This chapter should be viewed as the glossary and the context of terms that will be used in this novel. Should there be a change in the novel, the changes should be and unquestionably be added to this chapter to avoid plot holes or confusion.
WORLD BUILDING GLOSSARY
Null-space: The infinitesimal, nearly unquantifiable scale that is smaller than even the concept of nonexistence itself. It is a structure with infinite negative dimensionality, a paradoxical place that defies conventional understanding of space, time, and matter. It is the ultimate void, a plane where the very fabric of existence collapses into absolute abstraction.
Universe: A self-contained realm consisting of countless galaxies bound together by local physical constants and the distinct laws of physics that govern it. Each universe within the multiverse operates under its own unique law of physics and even mathematical constant, which can be radically different from those of neighboring universes.
Multiverse: An immeasurable party of universes that extend across infinite layers of diverse and distinct realities, each possessing unique dimensional frameworks, physical constants, and governing principles. Universes are often separated by insurmountable gaps in dimensionality, making the construction of bridges or portals between them effectively impossible.
Structures Within the Multiverse:
α. Klein Bottle: A four-dimensional construct that serves as a topological anomaly; a non-orientable surface with no discernible inside or outside. It's a paradoxical spatial loop that twists upon itself in higher-dimensional space.
β. Hilbert space: An infinite-dimensional space that encapsulates the totality of all possible quantum states, functioning as an abstract framework for the collective organization of existence within a given universe or set of universes.
There was also a case when this space could only contain a finite-dimensional structure before the first uncountable cardinal; this greatly affects its ability to store quantum state.
Γ . Collective Consciousness: A metaphysical network where the thoughts, emotions, and memories of all sentient corporeal beings become one, creating a shared psychic plane that transcends individual existence. Its influence was greatly reduced ever since the civil war of Celestial theos.
Δ. Impossibility Timeline: A sequence of events that defy the logical progression of cause and effect, existing outside the borders of conventional time and space. It is a realm where paradoxes, contradictions, and logical impossibilities are sustained without collapsing into nonexistence.
Ω. Timeline Branch: Divergent streams of causality that branch in all possible hyperdimensional spatial axes, forming a fractal web of alternate realities where every possible outcome of every possible event is happening at different realities.
False Void: A boundless emptiness that extends far beyond the multiverse, engulfing it to an unfathomable extent. It is a realm where the fundamental principles of physics dissolve into meaningless bubbles, making it useless, a place where the concept of existence itself dissolves.
Second Void: Existing one layer above the False Void, the Second Void is an even greater expanse of emptiness where impossibilities begin to untangle themselves, unraveling any form of mathematical or physical constant that attempts to resist within it. Any attempt at defining structure or law is obliterated upon entry.
Countless Layers Of Void: Successive layers of emptiness, each indescribably more hollow than the last. These layers stretch into depths of incomprehensible nothingness, each one more barren, more featureless, and more devoid of potential and changes than the preceding.
The Last Abyss is The final and ultimate layer of void, an infinite expanse of absolute and utter nonexistence. In this abyss, not even the concept of nothingness itself can endure. It is the cessation of all things, the terminus of existence where even the voids themselves cannot persist.
Omniverse: Beyond the Last Abyss lies the Omniverse, an infinite ladder of totality that encompasses its own iterations of everything that could ever exist. Each layer is a distinct meta-reality that mirrors, reflects, or distorts the entirety of existence in increasingly abstract, transcendental ways.
Cataverse: A transcendent construct that dwarfs even the Cataverse in scope and scale. Just as a multiverse contains countless universes, the Cataverse contains countless Omniverse, each operating under its own rule of existence and nonexistence. It is the all-encompassing totality where paradox and contradiction are integral rather than incidental, where even the null space is but a fragmentary echo of its infinite, indescribable expanse.
Creation: The ultimate construct that exists beyond the Cataverses, encompassing all conceivable and inconceivable structures, laws, dimensions, and voids. It is the primal essence from which all existence and nonexistence emanate and to which all shall inevitably return. The Creation is the alpha and the omega, the all-encompassing matrix that holds not only every possible form of reality but also every conceivable abstraction and non-reality. It is the source of the Omniverse and the voids beyond it, a realm where every paradox finds resolution and where the very concept of "existence" transcends its own definition.
Anti-Creation: The antithesis of The Creation, existing as the void of all voids, the negation of all that is and ever could be. It is a place where not even nonexistence can persist, where the very concept of reality is inverted and undone. It is the endpoint of all paradoxes, the nullification of every structure, law, and constant. It is the space where every single subjective and nonsubjective view of all things that can or can't exist ceases to exist, the realm where the act of creation is eternally unwoven and reversed.
TERMINOLOGY GLOSSARY
Physicalistic: A variable term used to describe various types of physics beyond conventional understanding, similar to how we say 'dimensionality' instead of N-dimension. In a nutshell, physicalistic is the same as how we say 'dimensionality,' but instead of dimension, it is a type of classification for physics.
Ω-Bits: The state of bits being timeless and spaceless, an attribute that allows computation or calculation to be able to compute outside the frameworks of space and time, simultaneously touching upon all points of space that it can latch onto while simultaneously drawing its power from the already determined space coordinate while not being anchored to any level of space-time.
Concept: A concept is a metaphysical property of a higher physicalistic thing/object that burrows its way down to a lower physicalistic.
Normality: A fundamental fact that has always been the case since the beginning of the said structure. A normality can be entered into multiple timelines that have the same facts as the other timeline. But normality in the scale of a just universe is extremely fragile, as it allows a time-warping machine to change the progression of the said universe. Rendering the prior normality to be just an alternate timeline rather than the prime timeline.
Prime Timeline: The timeline that is the foundation of the countless alternate branching timelines. Every alternate timeline, with no exception, is merely a byproduct of the prime timeline.
Physical/Corporeal Constant: Already set in settings of how the corporeal things in a universe should act. For example, in a different universe, the speed of light and the speed of sound are reversed, causing lightning in that universe to produce sound first, then the light.
Non-physical Constant: A Non-physical Constant is a non-corporeal force that shapes how reality interacts with things like consciousness, perception, and time. Unlike physical laws, it governs the intangible aspects of existence, influencing how we experience and understand the world beyond what we can measure.
Some constants are listed below. Including but now limited to;
1. Void Affinity (Vx̌): The pull of the void on an individual. Measured at 0.0001 g/tu, it determines how likely one is to be drawn into alternate realities or non-existence.
2. Temporal Displacement Rate (Tx̌): How fast consciousness can move through time. Set at 0.000001 s/ħs, it dictates how fluidly one experiences past, present, and future moments.
3. Dimensional Overlap Coefficient (Dÿ): The degree to which dimensions influence each other. Measured at 0.0013 cross-dimensional force per awareness unit (CDF/au), it dictates how strongly different realities bleed into one another, allowing glimpses or incursions from parallel worlds.
4. Veil Thinness (Vÿ): The measure of how fragile the barrier is between worlds. At 0.002 fractures per 12 (fph), it gauges how likely a place is to bleed through with visions, whispers, or entities from beyond.
5. Timeline Branches.
