On: Dimensions

Space, and by some reckonings Time, is a structure of multiple dimensions. In your case, 'space' consists of three dimensions. These dimensions are largely Euclidean, as far as you have measured, and are joined by a single dimension of time to form the 'Space-time continuum'. This grand structure is then distorted by mass to produce gravity.

Of course, both space and time, while inseparable within your reality, are not inseparable conceptually. Spatial dimensions have two directions, no inherent motion, and need no granularity nor curvature limitations. Temporal dimensions, however, have two directions and require no granularity nor curvature, but may or may not have inherent motion. Some Temporal dimensions are 'spacelike': exhibiting no inherent motion, and in some cases having well defined granulation; whereas others are 'timelike': operating as time does in your world, sometimes with conditions.

Both of these are physical dimensions. However, there are other sorts of dimensions.

There are Metaphysical dimensions, including Pneuma, Makrinos, and Somnier.

Pneumal dimensions govern the interactions of the spiritual, where afterlives hide.

Makrinal dimensions govern the separation of worlds, often referred to as 'AUs', though this title is often mistakenly applied to structures along other dimensions.

Somnieral dimensions govern the motion of the mind away from the body when sleeping. This is a surprisingly common dimension across worlds, and yet often overlooked.

Finally, there are Pataphysical dimensions, of which I have cemented one: Narra.

Narral dimensions govern layers of 'realness'. Between two worlds, if one is Narrally superior to the other, then the second will appear to the first as fiction. Narral relationships are not necessarily transitive, nor are they really delineated in some circumstances.

Well, that's my ramble for tonight. I wish you well.

...and has a discovered ability that allows him to 'manifest' mouths over his body, which has proved useful in combat-type situations.

...is loyal to the Foundation despite his past relations with the Chaos Insurgency, and seems to regard its staff and practices within high regard.

Okay, so I don't usually post oc art, but I have so many pieces of this fella I need to throw into the web before they dissappear into the void forever.. Feel free to ask me questions about him!

Small Pataphysics ramble

In the second episode of Admonition, AKA SCP-6747, there is a section written by Placeholder under Addendum 6474/I that serves as a sort of introduction to Pataphysics and several of its key concepts. Particularly, this section is very interesting to me

At first, the very obvious statement one can glean is that our world (the world of the author-entities) described is in itself partly fictional and has a higher dimension above it. In rebuttal to that, a person more familiar with the SCP wiki might bring up the existence of SCP-5500. Certainly, while SCP-5500 is said to be occurring within the “real world”, nothing like it actually happened IRL so perhaps there are reality-spaces that exist in between our universe and the SCP multiverse.

However the more interesting implication in this section comes in the form of the “narrative dimensions” described. Three types of realities are described in terms of narrative dimensions here: a 1D world (with one fictional dimension), a 2D world (the SCP world) (with one fictional dimension and one real dimension) and a 3D world (with two real dimensions and one fictional dimension).

The implication here is obvious, and while it may just be my interpretation I find it to be more interesting then the alternative, and that is that every single reality-space has atleast one fictional dimension and thus partly fictional. That POTENTIALLY, there is an infinite string of realities stacked on top of each other all of them fictional in small ways. And that includes us, our reality.

This is perhaps one of the biggest reasons why I love Pataphysics in SCP works and why it manages to set itself apart from all other sort of metafictional works. There is of course the scientific way the information is processed and presented but the way authors manage to explore certain themes and theories and philosophy in such a beautifully clinical way.

One thing that a lot of metafiction or self-referential fiction tends to not dwell upon is, how do WE know we’re not fictional? Or atleast partly fictional? How do we know there isn’t some higher layer of gods influencing us simply using their imagination. This small section manages to ask that question but instead of it being a question or the questioner even being us: it’s a fictional personal in a layer below us telling us the answer. Yes, I am fictional but so are you.

This section is not the focus of the article at all, simply being an explanation of how Pataphysics work to supplement the actual focus of the article (which you should go read for yourself by the way it’s really good.) but it is still really chilling. These thoughts are probably not original and have probably been talked about before but I just wanted to ramble a bit and neither Twitter or Discord has the proper word count so. :p
