@Crzer, Ant Some of those are already on there, but I will bring Azathoth here so we can discuss this more. That being said, if you can find anything in TNG or VOY that implies the nature of Q's higher dimensionality, it should preferrably be demonstrated.
@Seed
Thank you! Anyway, if you have any evidence that may support a
High 1-B rating, please demonstrate it. Remember, some of the comics are also considered to be "canon," in that they are not just licensed products (We could make a separate tier for that perhaps)
This is my new, more coherent argument:
The Q-Continuum is noted to be an extra-dimensional realm which exists outside of the space-time continuum itself, the space-time continuum containing
subspace, which, when manipulated, can change the cosmological constant:
"According to
Jack in
2375, a massive spherical grid of
subspace field generators could be used to manipulate
subspaceto reduce the mass of the
universe and therefore change the cosmological constant. This would avert the
collapse of the universe. (
DS9: "
Chrysalis")"
which directly is tied into the quantum principle in relation to relativity, which describes a universe/multiverse which can contain as many as 10 to 26 dimensions:
"In
2367, a
Cytheria-enhanced
Reginald Barclay discussed the cosmological constant with a
holographic Einstein. Barclay wondered how Einstein included quantum principle into the
Theory of General Relativity without adjusting the constant much more, which according to Einstein would lead to twenty-six
dimensions instead of ten. (
TNG: "
The Nth Degree")"
Subspace has been noted to be the gateway to higher dimensions, and is where
fifth-dimensional aliens originate from (the only explicitly-numbered dimensional beings in Trek to my knowledge)
The Traveler, a being much weaker than the Q, has total control over warp fields, a subspace displacement which allows ships to travel at massively FTL+ speeds, and is extra-dimensional:
"The Traveler had certain abilities, like the ability to act like "a lens with focused thought", which allowed him to alter
space,
time, and
warp fields with the power of his mind. He could phase out of time and
dimension and move between
planets and
starships. These abilities were based on his ability to focus the energy of thoughts and in his advanced understanding of the nature of reality."
IMO, the "limitless dimensions of the galaxy", statement in the database only solidifies a possibly or solid
1-B rating, which would then scale to Nagilum, as
Nagilum is a dimensionless being who also exists outside of the continuum and subspace, and possesses the most impressive hax that I can think of in the series.
