Spacetime

The Universe, i.e.: all that exists, is likely infinite in extent. Tinellb is the name given to a particular bubble within the bulk, which takes the form of a 10‑dimensional ellipsoid.

Dimensions

Reality

There is one relative dimension, which measures the separation between parallel worlds. Movement along this dimension can only occur via wormhole. There are approximately 1 million realities. Within this work, they are labelled with an alphanumeric code consisting of an uppercase Latin character, a three‑ or four‑digit number, and a lowercase Greek letter. For example, the planet Solaji is found in reality F⁹⁹⁶ξ.

As there are such a small number of actual realities, compared to the number of possible realities, there is basically zero chance of finding two planets that are complete or partial copies of each other. If one being were to meet another being similar to themself, there would be no particular connection between them beyond their similarity.

Time

There are two temporal dimensions, subjective time and objective time. Movement through either is usually involuntary, continuous and unidirectional. One will always grow older within one’s frame of reference.

Movement through subjective time can not be altered. One will always grow older within one’s frame of reference. However, movement through objective time can be altered according to the rules of special relativity or be navigated by use of wormholes.

Space

There are three spatial dimensions, which are continuous and indistinguishable from each other. They allow free movement in any direction. They are macroscopic, and topologically flat on large scales. At greatest extent, Tinellb is approximately 20 million lightyears across.

Gingla

There are four ginglaic dimensions. They are continuous, similarly to space. However, they are microscopic, and bundled together similar to a Calabi–Yau manifold.

Movement through gingla is chaotic. Most movement is involuntary, however voluntary movement is possible for some individuals.
