Much study on the nature
of planer and temporal existence was provoked by the discovery and
later domestication of the Heydra. Basic principals were re-examined,
the most fundamental of which are listed below. Please note that these
are the most recent findings and may be subject to change as further
studies reach their completion.
There are currently
five accepted and proven scientifically dimensions.
1) One dimensional plain – specks of existence. No
life form is known to exist merely in the first dimension, and it
is only known to exist due to theoretical calculations.
2) Two dimensional plain – where objects are allowed
length and breadth, but no depth. It is currently in debate as to
whether this dimension indeed harbors life: several sentient computer
programmes have claimed that they legitimately inhabit the fourth
and second dimensions, however very few theorists agree with their
claims. This is probably because very few theorists can communicate
in binary.
3) Three dimensional plain – where objects have length,
breadth and depth.
4) Time – only recently accepted as a dimension in
its own right, the only species known to exist substantially in time
are the Heydra. Time may be free or linear, depending on your temporal
perception.
5) Subtemporal plain – A dimension that technically
consists of nothing, time nor space exists on the subtemporal plain.
Though it is a mathematical absurdity, the Heydra are adamant that
this is where their young develop. Heydranix have yet to confirm this.
Sentient Creatures
can only exist simultaneously in four dimensions
In every instance of encountered life, there has been no sentient
being found that can exist in more than three dimensions. It is possible
to exist in less (the frozen galbla bugs of Setti were mysteriously
absent from the fourth dimension, living statically in three dimensions.
The Humans soon turned these dimensional curiosities into fetching
coffee tables, which can be found throughout Human inhabited space)
Humans and most other known
life forms simultaneously inhabit the first three dimensions, moving
through the fourth dimension in a linear path. Heydra exist mainly
in the second, third and fourth. It is thought that they inhabit the
fifth during infancy, but this is unproven.
Extranious Dimensions
Theoretically Exist
At the current level of Planaritist science, understanding of these
theoretical dimensions is limited to the most recent statement released
by the Planarist Institute Of Neom:
“Stuff might exist in these places, but it might be anti-stuff
for all we know. There may be anti-coffee, or normal coffee that is
like ours only in a different dimension. But they do exist, oh yes,
just like this mug of coffee”
(please note that the Planarist Institute Of Neom is currently the
most caffeinated scientific research facility manned by bipedal beings)
