I am confusion, wut dis mean?

[Udlmaster]

Okay, there's a bunch of terms WoD uses and I wanted to get the interpretation of them:

Pandimensional: Existing in all Dimensions

Hyperphysics: ???

Hypermaths: ???

5-D Maths: ???

Polydimensional: ????????

Hyperdimensional Theory: ???

Paraphysics: ???

Quantum Vibration Frequences (with Paraphysics): ???

Existing in Several Metaphysical dimensions: ???

 

[Jinsye]

Poly and Pan should mean the same thing

 

[The_2nd_Existential_Seed]

Essentially it's a big word for the maximum number of higher spatio-temporal dimensions in the setting.

So for Marvel, if it stated it, and it meant higher-dimensions: It would be Infinite-D because that's the maximum number known in the MU

DC: It would be Infinite-D

Etc,etc.... At least from what I know.

 

[Agnaa]

Poly = Many

Pan = All

Hyper = Superior, Greater, Larger, Transcendent

Para = At, Beside, Beyond, Past

 

[Udlmaster]

So, what would you rate all these?

World of DARK NESS has at least 6 Dimensions comfirmed.

(Possibly 8 Dimensions)

 

[Agnaa]

I would rate them as being too ambiguous by themselves. With the 6/8 dimensions, beings with those statements can likely affect constructs of those sizes.

 

[The_2nd_Existential_Seed]

As Agnaa stated... 6-8 Higher-Dimensions I would assume if that's the maximum that are known in that verse.

 

[Udlmaster]

The ones this (all) applies to are the Top Tiers of the Verse so:

The Archmages, Angels/Demons and God themselves.

Archmages are able to literally affect the entire verse.

The Angels created literally everything and they are nothing more than the smallest Fragments of God.

 

[Agnaa]

They'd probably just be supporting statements then.

 

[Udlmaster]

They'd probably just be supporting statements then.

Nice.

So, what about the other ones?

Paraphysics, Quantum Vibration Frequences, Hyperdimensional Theory (Anyone know what the hell this is?)

 

[Agnaa]

Paraphysics = Adjacent to physics, could be interpreted as implying a different physics than the standard one of the verse.

Quantum Vibration Frequencies = How quickly small things wiggle back and forth.

Hyperdimensional Theory = Something that explains how higher dimensions work.

 

[Udlmaster]

What the hell is "Ultradimensional"?

 

[Agnaa]

Stuff like that solely depends on how the verse defines it. There's no scientific definition. But we can assume it's some type of higher/superior dimensional.

 

[Wokistan]

I believe that "para" would be more accurstely described as beyond or against.

 

[Qawsedf234]

It'd be "At least 6D, likely 8D, possibly higher"

 

[Udlmaster]

It'd be "At least 6D, likely 8D, possibly higher"

Are you sassing me young mister.

 

[Qawsedf234]

It's not sass when it's facts

 

[Udlmaster]

It's not sass when it's facts

(I've been saying At least 6-D, likely 8-D, possibly Much Higher and got blasted for it)

 

[Qawsedf234]

Oh I honestly had no idea. I was just going off you posted here

 

[Udlmaster]

What an interesting conclusion.

Looks like I'm not the only one who's come to that conclusion. *Anime glasses adjustment*

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Hello confusion, I'm Richard.

 

[Udlmaster]

HOW DARE

 

[Agnaa]

What do all of these completely meaningless statements have to do with upgrading the dimensionality of the verse?

They're made up words. Their only meaning is the one given to them in the text. If they're not given one in the text, it's useless jargon.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Going just from the stuff, you're right. All the terms do is support the idea of multiple dimensions and them being mathematical/scientific

 

[Udlmaster]

I wish they were given context by the verse, but they're kinda just thrown in with no confext besides "Ultradimensional Alien" and "six polydimensional devices"

 

[Udlmaster]

It's basically why I asked, because the verse ( Fakking World of DARK NESS) gives no context to most of these, now I have found 1 definition for paraphysics which is the study of physics for the paranormal but that's it.

 

[Agnaa]

Well then they're unusable.

 

[Udlmaster]

WELl going by the Merriam Webster definition of Ultra as a prefix is "beyond space", "beyond range or limits of: transcending", "beyond what is ordinary, proper, or moderate"

 

[Agnaa]

So if someone has an "Ultradeath cannon" it inflicts death beyond transcendence, simply because of the name?

The name doesn't really matter. Feats do. Unless the name explicitly and obviously has a certain meaning that is consistent with feats.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Yeah. Like Agnaa, the most these do is aupport the idea the dimensions are mathmatical or scientfic in nature rather than glorified alternate universes or something. To use a calc rating it'd be a 4 aka supporting evidence for a rating.

 

[Udlmaster]

I don't mind them all meaning different universes.
