Dimensions

    ULTRAMagic Alternate is host to many strange entities from all walks of life and existence. They come from all sorts of realms and dimensions, despite the misuse and misattribution of the latter. What do dimensions mean in UMAE? What do they imply? What can they do? This lore post will look into the dimensions that are relevant to UMAE, what they represent, and what they could mean for UMAE.

Quick Author Disclaimer: While I am an enthusiast for quantum physics, I am by no means an expert. This should NEVER be interpreted as a scientific paper and should always be viewed as a fictitious, albeit grounded take on quantum physics. If new discoveries are made in the future, I will update this lore at my discretion.

The Basics:

    What is a dimension? The most basic definition is a measurable extent of some kind, describing the coordinates needed to specify a point within an object. The best examples are length, width, and depth. 1D indicates 1 coordinate (a line), 2D indicates 2 coordinates (a basic shape), and 3D indicates three coordinates (A cube or similar object). These are the dimensions everyone is familiar with. Of course, things are never that simple. Dimensions go well past and below the 3rd dimension.

    It should be noted that things are only going to get more vague as we progress. While it is possible to know that there are higher and lower dimensions, understanding them from, say 3D, is difficult. Obviously there have been third dimensionals who have made it to 4D and beyond, but it was certainly not an easy task. Of interesting note is that the amount of dimensions you can truly perceive is double of what you current understanding is.

What dimensions will we be focusing on?
  • 0D (Nothing)
  • 1D (Length)
  • 2D (Width)
  • 3D (Depth)
  • 4D (Gravity)
  • 5D (Time)
  • 6D (Subatomic)
1D to 3D
  • The first three dimensions are the building blocks of reality. To properly interact with reality, you need to be able to move and see in all directions.
  • These are the cardinal directions of reality.
  • Many lifeforms start out as 3D by default. This allows the most interaction with reality and also gives way to being able to move up the dimensional spectrum.
4D (Gravity)
  • To keep it simple, Gravity is the force that pulls everything together. It is the mutual attraction between all things with mass and energy. Its counterpart, antigravity (Dark Energy), is the mutual repulsion between all objects with mass and energy.
  • What is the force exactly, from the perspective of a 4th dimensional? Do not ask, it is incredibly hard to explain to third dimensionals (it is not impossible, however).
    Understanding Gravity means that you now know how to alter reality on a macro level. You can now use Gravity to take apart and reassemble matter. This opens up many possibilities as it teaches you the concept of push & pull (or attraction and repulsion). This is an essential concept for higher dimensions. The biggest benefit of 4D is that you are now able to pull yourself into other realms, timelines, and universes. Rudimentary time travel also becomes possible, but it is difficult to control where you will end up. An interesting note for later is that 4th and 5th dimensionals often joke about how 4D and 5D could be interchangeable to them.

Notable individuals:
  • Spiritus Magni Octavia
  • Spiritus Magni Maxima
  • Morrigan Devilfay
  • Faustus Ashman
  • Milan Proch
5D (Time)
  • Time is weird given that it is a nebulous concept. Essentially it is the progression of things in reality. Things form and eventually settle back into a ground state. The universe expands and contracts. This is progression.
  • Progression is known as “The Flow of Time” to 5th dimensionals.
    If you truly understand progression, you can reverse engineer it in your mind. This allows you to accurately move to different points in time using the principles established by 4D. In fact, understanding 4D is more important than ever at this point. 4D and 5D go hand in hand. What is the point of knowing where to go if you do not know how to get there? Inversely, what’s the point of knowing how to get there when you do not know where “there” is? Attesting to the importance of understanding these dimensions, 6D relies heavily on a proper understanding of Gravity and Time.

Notable Individuals:
  • Ignatius “Infinity” Darren Ford
  • Leif, The Dragon of Old
  • Spiritus Magni Drusa
6D (Subatomic)
  • To simplify, 6D is 4D on a micro level. It focuses on subatomic particles and the forces that influence them. Understanding 6D allows one to alter reality on the micro level.
  • What are these forces that influence this realm of particles? Unfortunately that cannot be answered to third dimensionals. Usually this knowledge is meant for fifth dimensionals while fourth dimensionals have a very rough understanding.
    Understanding the subatomic allows greater precision when altering reality, much like what 5D is to time travel. Despite how weird the subatomic world is, the principles of gravity do apply there. These particles do not behave how you think they would, so having knowledge of how time works is pretty much mandatory.

    It is borderline impossible to explain this to third dimensionals, but what can be said is that these incredibly tiny particles refuse to obey any laws of physics, even if those laws are redefined. 4D and 5D allow you to comprehend what these particles are going to do. While third dimensionals can do basic subatomic manipulation with technology such as particle colliders, this is not the same as what sixth dimensional entities can do.

Notable individuals:
  • Valentina Pari
  • Archangel Raguel
  • Alexia Lavoie (ULTRAMagic Vanguard)
  • Drusa
  • Wynnstan Thorne
0D (Nothing)
  • 0D is a dimensional placeholder that should not exist. This “dimension” serves to define what other dimensions are and describes what zero would look like. It allows proper dimensions to stand out and be identifiable, since we know what “nothing” is.
  • The existence of 0D has led to the discovery of the negative dimensions.
    Life should not exist here… but it found a way regardless. These entities are incredibly unstable, living distortions of reality. They simultaneously exist while not actually existing. Their presence outside of 0D greatly disrupts reality itself and can cause all sorts of mayhem. What we typically see of them is their manifestation for the realm they are inhabiting.

    While considered stable enough, these forms can still cause trouble for the dimensions they visit. Strangely 0D itself is omni-dimensional. Anything can exist there, but anything below 7D is prone to corruption if there for too long. Also note that entities 7D and beyond are supposedly capable of turning anything below them 0D, assuming the conditions are right.

    0D is also home to a group of entities known as the Deep Specters. These irregular entities are the reincarnation of the legion primordial known as The Nightmare of Old. Originally this primordial reincarnated properly, but other, forbidden primordials such as The Monolith of Old found a way to resurrect the Nightmare of Old, leading to a massive resurgence of 0D entities in the Cosmos. Normally this would have potentially destabilized the Cosmos, but The Monolith found a way to make it work. What his motivations for doing this are is unclear at the moment.

Notable individuals:
  • Zasiel
  • Aureolus Schindewolf
  • Sirius Fractal
  • The Reverse Serpent?
7D to 9D and beyond…
  • At this point the level of understanding is well beyond what a third dimensional can even perceive with as much knowledge of 3D as possible. What can be said is that 7D to 9D deals with dimensions themselves, but the specifics are hazy even for fourth dimensionals. The oversimplified description is that these dimensions relate to the creation of universes.
  • 10D to 12D also exist, but you need to be at least 5D to even comprehend what these dimensions represent. And things do not stop there as the scale goes well beyond 12D. It should be noted that once you get to a certain point, it becomes harder to interact with lower dimensions, with realms like 0D and The Unlight becoming your only viable options. Notably this range of dimensions is home to the Ar’ton, higher dimensional energy beings that reside in The Trench Unlight, Abyssal Unlight, Dream Realm, and Outer Void.
  • 13D is the biggest known dimension at the moment and is well beyond the scope of even the Cosmos itself. Being bigger than all of creation, this dimension is impossible to comprehend at anything below 12D. And even then, 12D entities have a great deal of trouble trying to comprehend it. The only known entities at 13D are the Old Gods and the Ar’ton lords. And even then, this is because they have revealed their presence to the lower dimensions.
Notable individuals:
  • Time Watcher Zal-Rint (7D)
  • Spiritus Magni Julia (7D)
  • Ortrun Thorne (7D)
  • Chaos Angel Zozena (8D)
  • Adonai and Ianoda (8D)
  • Ealdhelm Thorne (8D)
  • Leonard, Discordant God of Lighting (9D)
  • Nacht, Discordant God of Terror (10D)
  • The Automaton of Old (10D)
  • Tereza, Ar’ton of Water (10D)
  • Terrus, Ar’ton Chronicler of Shadows (10D)
  • Doppelganger (11D)
  • The Madman of Old (12D)
  • The Monolith of Old (12D)
  • God (13D)
  • Threrth (13D)
  • Father Time (13D)
  • Lord Ultra, Master of Tachyons (13D)
  • Lord Anti, Master of Positrons (13D)
  • Lord Shadow, Master of Darkness (13D)
  • Lord Leukos, Master of Light (13D)

1D Life?

    Jumping back to 1D for a moment, the true existence of the first dimension has confused higher dimensionals for some time now. Where was it exactly? Fortunately Father Time stepped in and pointed out the Prima Materia. The Prima Materia is the smallest possible type of thing in the universe. At this level, “particles” called “strings” vibrate into patterns and form the particles we all know currently. All of this counts as Prima Materia, which is the building blocks of reality. Now what happens when strings vibrate in ways they are not supposed to?

    A string that vibrates too violently has the potential to escape the first dimension and enter realms such as 0D or The Unlight. These realms do not have the forces or conditions needed to keep strings in place. Rogue strings then vibrate uncontrollably until they take the shape of what we could define as sentient life. While nowhere near as unstable as 0D life, they are advised to stay in 0D or The Unlight. These entities have the tendency to glitch out reality and people usually go mad upon seeing them in their true form.

    1D is also home to a group of entities known as the Vector Children. These irregular entities are the reincarnation of the legion primordial known as The Dream of Old, counterpart to The Nightmare of Old. Originally this primordial reincarnated properly, but other, forbidden primordials such as The Monolith of Old found a way to resurrect the Dream of Old, leading to a massive resurgence of 1D entities in the Cosmos. Normally this would have potentially destabilized the Cosmos, but The Monolith found a way to make it work. What his motivations for doing this are is unclear at the moment.

Notable individuals:
  • Sir Odo Ash, Knight of the Unlight
  • Buster Ash
The realms and Omni-dimensional

    On an ending note, let’s go over some realms that are relevant to the topic. Before that, what is omni-dimensional? This phrase refers to any entity that has the potential to comprehend all major dimensions and realms that accommodate all dimensions. Their knowledge starts out basic at first, but can grow with time and effort. In relation to being omni-dimensional, view entities of higher dimensions in realms such as Inferno, The Realm of Chaos, The Outer Void, or The Unlight without having special knowledge of what the entity looks like (granted through being higher dimensional, 0D, 1D, omni-dimensional, or having ULTRAMagic) will result in the individual witnessing higher dimensional, fractal polygons contorting and expanding into truly incomprehensible shapes.

Notable omni-dimensional individuals:
  • Genome (a clone created through forbidden science and magic)
  • Descendants (Omni-dimensional)
  • Lady Gratiana Arlotti (born in the Unlight (Omni-dimensional)
  • Gummi Proch (born in the Unlight, Omni-dimensional)
The Unlight (Omni-dimensional)
  • In brief, this is the void trying to manifest physically due to things trying to occupy it. It is seen as a sign that reality is working in the way it should.
  • The Unlight is the most popular realm for entities of different dimensions to meet given that it is inherently omni-dimensional. This status comes from the fact that the void is nothing, so it allows anything to exist within it.
Asgard (3D+)
  • The home of the Aesir, Vannir, and Jotunns.
  • Asgard was a realm that broke off from the third dimension and became inhabited by higher dimensional entities. It currently accommodates anyone who is third dimensional or higher.
Heaven (4D+)
  • The home of celestial entities like Angels, Archangels, Souls, and higher entities. Notable residents are Adonai, Sophia, the greater Archangels, and Angels in general.
  • Heaven is responsible for a lot of activity in a standard universe (but not all of it) and the realm is only accessible by those who are fourth dimensional or higher
Inferno (Alternate universe?)
  • Inferno is typically the home of demons and devils, but happily accommodates any entity that needs a place to live.
  • Inferno is strange because it is a full blown alternate universe. It also allows entities of different dimensional levels to interact with each other freely. Where it exists out in the multiverse is unclear and is usually traveled to by invoking the realm itself.
