Some of you might be curious about the Multiversal Catalog Listing given for the universe of Tryslmaistan. It actually means something, although it should be noted that this listing is derived and simplified from the popular or 'lite' catalog, as opposed to the professional level work, which cannot be translated to anything as limiting as text or language.
The entry is read in order: Multiverse, Universe, Dimensions, Hyperdimensional Geometry, Scale, Entropy Factor, Cosmological Structure.
The
first part, Multiverse,
is Aeryx 
,
which includes all universes filled with fluidic matter, such as air
or water, with suspended worlds. Other multiverse classes include Arcaynia
-which
is the class containing universes built like the old earthly idea of
a flat planet one could sail off the edge of,
Khex 
-the
class for universes that are infinite planes stretching forever,
half earth, half air,
Krawlni 
-higher dimensional universes of complex and arcane forces, and of
course,
Mundis 
-the class of universe that features discrete lumps set in a dark and
mostly empty void...our own
universe class. Many, many more than these exist, of course, from Void
and Chaos class universes, to the curious
Whistlestop 
class
cosmological eruptions.
The
Universe
is simply the name given to a specific universe. 'Tryslmaistan' in
this case, and our universe name is a repeated 'Mundis'. We live in
'Mundis Mundis'.
Next
comes Dimensions,
and it means just that...the number of physical dimensions of a
given universe. The 'Flatland' of A. Square fame, would be 'Khex
Flatland D(3)'. Two physical dimensions, and one last one reserved
for time. Our own Mundis universe would be a D(11) universe, or more,
if we include all of the sub-dimensions of quantum theory, but the
Multiversal Catalogue is a popular tome...so we would be listed as
D(4)... three physical dimensions of movement and one of time. Only
the Professional Creator's Edition
of the Multiversal Catalogue fusses with such extra details as
collapsed dimensions for physical laws to reside within.
Hyperdimensional
Geometry is where things start to
get interesting. It is listed above as being H(ss/fb). What this
translates out to is 'Hyperdimensional Geometry (steady-state /
finite-bounded)'. This means that the Tryslmaistan universe had no
'big bang' or other distinct origin...it always as-was.
On it's own, it never changes, and the universe as a whole does not
evolve, expand, contract, or anything else of the sort. Finite-bounded
means that the universe is a 'wraparound' universe....if you go far
enough in any one direction, you would eventually come back to where
you started. The whole universe is folded in higher dimensional space
like some fantastic mobius strip.
Scale is
pretty simple. In this case, Tryslmaistan is a Pocket class
universe...S(p). Pocket universes are very small indeed. The entire
Tryslmaistan universe, with all of its worlds, life, sun orbs, moon,
orbs, Veils, Voids, and everything else could, if it could be
represented as a three-dimensional 'thing' somehow, comfortably fit
within our local group of stars here in the Mundis Universe. It's
very tiny. The whole of the entire Tryslmaistan universe is barely a
few light years across. Of course, light, space, time, and energy
work differently there, and thus so does distance, so such a
comparision is very, very rough, and just to provide some measure to
convey the idea.
Next
comes Entropy Factor.
The entropy factor is a measure of the degree of ergometric change,
specifically the energy dynamics, of a universe. For the populist
edition we are working with of the Multiversal Catalog, this is
simply listed as 'low' (l). Tryslmaistan is a low entropy
universe...with all that implies.
The
last entry is very,very complex, being the Cosmological
Structure.
I shall simply decode it as given:
C{
}
Cosmology the
overall factors that define the universe. In the popular editions
these factors are very gross and low-resolution.
w/ Weltschmertz in metacosmic terms, does not represent 'sentimental pessimism' but rather describes the level of materiality versus immateriality in a given universe. In this case, a 'low magic' universe, tilted towards materiality.
+ Posichronisional Temporal Forces the relative direction of time.
Lu Linovection, universe wide scale there is no gravity in Tryslmaistan, instead, a universal directional force serves a similar benefit.
PTp Planotrahesion, planetary scale one of the forces that cause the worlds of the Tryslmaistan universe to be plates, and not, say, cubes or spheres or something.
PVp Planovection, planetary scale another one of the forces that cause the worlds of the Tryslmaistan universe to be plates.
Ta Tetramorphesion, atomic scale defines the structure of the tratons, or equivalent atoms of the Tryslmaistan universe
MP(
)
Multiversal Porosity defines
the degree to which a universe can naturally connect to other
universes, or, through higher dimensional spaces, itself. The
variables given are:
1
Low paradimensional connectivity Tryslmaistan
is not very easy to get into or out of.
m
Matter fociated extraversal gates hyperspace
gates are drawn to matter
t
Temporally fociated extraversal gates hyperspace
gates are bound to temporal factors
f
Fractally dispersed extraversal gates hyperspace
gates are distributed in a fractal pattern.
