So I read all the threads about Twin Peaks as well as the Cosmology page and I'm still skeptical about one thing: why are the Lodges considered as layered structures?
Apparently it's because of two realms that are part of the Black Lodge: the Dutchman Lodge and the Room above the Convenience Store. But why are these realms considered as higher planes? There's nothing that implies that they are stacked atop one another, so why aren't they simply considered as realms that coexist with each other, in the same way as the Black Lodge is the counterpart of the White Lodge and not a higher layer than the White Lodge or vice-versa?
And also would the Purple Sea still be qualified as High Outer if the Lodges weren't considered as layered structures? As it would mean that the Purple Sea is merely unreachable and beyond any words or conceptualization in relation to two baseline Outer realms (the White Lodge and the Black Lodge).
