Would this be immeasurable speed?

Not related to any verse specific, nor a part of a CRT or anything.

Essentially, I got thinking about a character, who after subjecting himself through experiments of dimensional travel, accidentally collapsed a gateway between space-time while he was traveling through it.

He wounded up outside the flow of time. Upon realization of what happened in this state, his psyche completely broke as he was unable to process the event. He is outside space-time, in absolute limbo, unable to interact with anything and his mind completely shattered after the event, making him forget multiple events. He also is starting to get erased, as he essentially doesn't exist anymore.

But before he got completely erased, someone could open a rift into this void of space-time, saving him.

After this, he started displaying the ability to move so fast, that he "broke through a barrier in time", displaying feats of speed he could never do before, like appearing in multiple places at once. When he moves, it is described that around the place and nowhere at once, multiple sonic booms can be heard... But his image is actually frozen. They know he moved because they could, for a moment, see the instant his movement occurred. But this turned out to be a mirage.

Then they get blown up, revealing that the character sent an attack into the future.

And sometimes, when they actually stop to realize, they see that they have a wound. Their minds then register the moment this character inflict it upon them, but they get freak out because this "never happened". They don't know why they possess the memory of the event, but they are 100% sure he did not did it. Implying his attack "already passed".

The character even describes this process as feeling like when he was in the rift of space-time, feeling himself being torn apart by the extreme effort to move at that speed.

Would this qualify as immeasurable? Or simply scale it to the fastest feat a character does in the story?
 
He can even bring clones of his self that are from different space-time and even the one that is still trapped in the rift (since it is outside of time, the rift is not subject to it's flow, and so the self that got trapped it's still there even in the "now" or the "will be").

Essentially, he taps into his essence that is outside of the flow of time, letting him move so fast and also not move at all to display these feats.

This is Infinite speed.

Still a finite speed, probably FTL or something.

Sounds Immeasurable.

The first bit is Acausality Type 3 and the rest is just Infinite speed again.

The character sounds more like he has Infinite speed plus some forms of Acausality to me.
 
Although, while we are at it. ovo

How could actual immeasurable be displayed properly without recurring to just statements?

Being able to showcase movement that cannot be defined by standard formulas of speed. The Hounds of Tindalos for example, have Immeasurable speed via being able to move in any direction through time and space via sheer speed.
