Speed within Non-linear time.

[Yumi-tan]

For most people, time is direct progression of cause to effect. But from non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, complex object needs vast range of temporalities, from primitive reversible ones to complex irreversible ones, to exist and be described. But what is speed of such object? Basically, this object exist in more than one timeline. Can such speed be measured? Or is this some form of temporal nigh omnipresence?

I'm not entirely sure how to answer this to be honest, but our current definition for Immeasurable speed is: "Characters that transcend linear time", so moving outside of linear flow of time would be even faster than having infinite speed.

It's temporal nigh omnipresence. Since it's a multi-existence where it exists on multiple planes at once. In this case, temporalities.

An example of this is Solaris. A being of this magnitude however, should be studied in-depth.

Hai Yeul.

If you are wondering what the speed of a being who exists in multiple timelines at the same time, well it is difficult to say.

It depends on how this is accomplished, which can lead to various results.

Some characters can exist in multiple timelines at once, but they do so by being one consciousness with physical avatars in every timeline. In that case, while you can presume that the conciousness behind all the avatars would have some high-level of cosmic senses, and stuff like that. If it is infinite timelines at once, then the consciousness would prolly have infinite perception. The avatars themselves, tho, would need to be judged by their own feats / scaling.

The other way to exist in multiple (or all) timelines at once would be to exist beyond the boundaries of time. This is very common with higher-dimensional cosmics in fiction. Either their actions have ripples in every timeline, or they can be in all timelines simultaneously, etc. In this case, their speed is Immeasurable because it can't be quantified by the "speed = distance / time" equation.

Hope that helps. :3

Ah, I didn't read the existing in more than one timeline part.

Yes, this would be Nigh-Omnipresence, as it has been the standard for all of the Seven Great Demon Lords of Digimo.

 

[Yumi-tan]

But if universe = one timeline, then doesn't existing in multiple timeline mean existing in multiple universe?

 

[Reppuzan]

Yep. That's exactly what it means.

 

[Yumi-tan]

Okie.
