But Homestuck doesn't use the string theory multiverse. It isn't even a concept. It is entirely replaced by paradox space (hence why I didn't use multiverse to describe it), which is it's own entity, and is even hinted at having some form of sentience.Promestein said:@Voidchimera
The Warp is a 8-12 dimensional space filled with 8-12 dimensional beings. The specifics are uncertain.
LE is Low 1-B for existing outside the totality of what is likely a string-theory multiverse.
A) That's PS, not Homestuck. They have VERY different rules, mythos, etc, to the point they actually barely overlap at all. Just because they're by the same guy does not mean they follow anywhere near the same rules. Paradox Space isn't even mentioned in PS. And finally, Feats > Statments. Normal string-theory multiverse is NEVER shown, and the -verses we do get are VASTLY different in both scope and rules.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:@Voidchimera
Actually, the String Theory multiverse is likely supposed to be a thing in Homestuck. Back in Problem Sleuth, which iirc, Hussie stated was supposed to have the same laws of physics and such, DMK ripping the universe in half revealed the extradimensional strings behind it.
(Snipped warp dimensionality bs)
A) Doesn't matter, Homestuck canon >> PS canon. Where they conflict (like here), HS overrides it every time. Not even sure why this is up for debate? Homestuck very clearly has a vastly different -verse structure. Infinite unconventional multiverses (it's almost a misnomer to even call them multiverses, really) inside another 'multiverse'.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:A. The mythos is very different and the rules of SBURB are new, but that doesn't mean the world itself is entirely different. There's a pretty good number of overlapping elements that point to more of a connection than just "it was written by the same guy".
B. Cool. Doesn't really matter if it doesn't work that way in real life. It works that way in 40k, because that's just what the Warp is. Attempting to say "you can't do that" when it's exactly what happened in the story doesn't change things.
Also, don't really know where you got the idea the Warp was finite when it is explicitly stated to be infinite in scope pretty much every single time it's referred to as well as connecting to countless worlds. Hell, in the Warp new universes can simply be created with a stray thought.
A) That makes LE even MORE overpowered then. Also, if the furthest ring and associated area is 12-D, and paradox space still contains every alt-version of THAT (since failed timelines are still a thing there), doesn't it make Paradox space 13-D minimum?Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:A. That's the thing, though. They don't conflict. Especially when we're shown the Furthest Ring is higher dimensional space linked to all universes, and Horrorterrors are shown to appear in both Problem Sleuth and Homestuck. It's clear they have some kind of link, especially since not only does one of the exact same Horrorterrors appear in both (in person in PS and described via lore in HS), but other mechanics of the universes are shown to be similar as well. It's not like Problem Sleuth showing allusions to String Theory means Homestuck does not also share that basic cosmology, especially when the two appear to be linked via higher dimensional structures.
B. The Emperor doesn't die of old age, actually. He's perpetual. Every time he dies, he comes back.
C. The Warp is the result of sentient life, yes. Sentient life from countless times in an infinite number of realities, all feeding a group of beings unbound by the nature of causality. The emotions of life in 40k's galaxy fuels the Chaos Gods, but so do an infinite number of other beings from other worlds completely disconnected to theirs.
A) Presumably just a higher end of 12-D, I would assume.Voidchimera said:A) That makes LE even MORE overpowered then. Also, if the furthest ring and associated area is 12-D, and paradox space still contains every alt-version of THAT (since failed timelines are still a thing there), doesn't it make Paradox space 13-D minimum?
B) What brings him back? Can he survive the end of the universe? Because nothing's stopping LE from just going there.
C) Oh, cool. So that means, since there are an infinite number of realities, at any time T into the future of the universe, there's still an infinity/(some f(T)) amount of ones that still have sentient life, so the warp IS truely eternal. Guess that's settled haha.
How would it not be? If the Furthest Ring itself is 12-D, and there is an infinite variation of all timelines in it, does that not require an extra dimension? That's quite literally some defintions of a multiverse.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:A) Presumably just a higher end of 12-D, I would assume.
B) Nothing in particular. He just comes back, as far as I know. The exact mechanics of the perpetuals are never really touched on. In fact, one of the few things made certain is that only a substance called "fulgurite" can kill them off, permanently. However, Vulkan (another perpetual) was stabbed in the heart with a shard of fulgurite and still eventually revived, so even that may just be misinformation.
Because presumably the timelines within the Furthest Ring are not on the same level as the Furthest Ring. The Ring should be the highest dimensional thing in the entire structure since most of it seems to exist beyond the rest of the multiverse.Voidchimera said:How would it not be?

That makes it kinda tough. We know LE can destroy universes on a whim (his command over his power is even versitile enough to bind the life of the Alternian's universe to Snowman, he didn't even need to be there personally to do it), would that perpetuality allow him to survive even that? And if not would GEoM be able to survive in the Warp indefinitely? And even then, would THAT be resistant to LE's absurd powers? Lots of questions, but if the answer to any of them is no this might be a stomp.
This is kinda hard due to the fact that the Emperor does not need his body to survive. This is closer than I originaly thought it was. Kinda undecided now. But the Emperor himself is holding back legions of demons and the four gods of Chaos himself on Terra (All of them and their forces at once). I do belive that would be a sign that he can survive forces that are cappble of destroying universes with his powers.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:Because presumably the timelines within the Furthest Ring are not on the same level as the Furthest Ring.

The GEoM can presumably survive quite a lot, especially since he's not going to need his body to do so. That's what makes this so tough.
It's not really just universe-killing though, it's Multiverse killing. Plus, since GEoM's trans-universality is up in the air, there is another factor that kinda ignores that. LE bends time to his whim, entering a Universe at the end, then traveling back to the beginning to ensure his arrival. Who says he couldn't just stop GEoM from being born? Or, if the timeline doesn't allow such direct altercations, I don't see how GEoM could stop LE from just starting a SBURB session, 'Scratching' the WH4K universe, and editing THAT new timeline to stop him from ever being born (it's shown that a scratch gives him a chance to take nearly total control of a timeline, and there's no reason he couldn't just do it himself)? That strategy alone....G2E said:Ultrasnip!
