Thank ye!
Just got 250 odd pages of posts to skim through.

@Stabby

You don’t have to do that =P

It's fun though.
It isn't any good to be a part of existence and not stay at least somewhat up to date on key events.

Speaking of, after reading through the whole section of the Nemid fight, the Outside and Scales has given me a few ideas on how non-dimensional space fits into existence.

@Stabby

That’s very true! I’m thankful for your enthusiasm. Hopefully it all makes sense, heh.

I'm doing my best not to overload myself by skipping over some idle conversation, so there are some things I'll have to figure out from context.

[Stabby]

By the way, how does this sound?

-~-~-~-~-~-

Nondimensional Entity.

Even though Flicker's body retains most of the traits and weaknesses of a human form, it is in reality made up of her own conscious will. This is what allows her to manifest her abilitie(s) without major consiquince and slip between dimensional and non dimensional space, since her will only requires space itself to exist. She cannot however slip up into anything higher then the third dimension, since she still considers herself to be mostly human and as such she still has the perception and cognitive limits of one.

What is non-dimensional space?

If you want an old but explanation, you can check out the old post and subsequent ones.

But in short, it is a void like plane where things can can only exist as mental summaries of their existence (ie. as thoughts and concepts) due to the lack of even a single dimension in which matter can exist. Because of this there is also no concept of "direction" in that void and one will just randomly start appearing in subsequent nearby locations when they move. If a non-sentient object is not observed, accounted for, or otherwise expected to exist by a sentient entity that also enters non-dimensional space at around the same time, it will cease to exist. Likewise, should a sentient entity fall unconscious or leave without taking the object with them, the object will also cease to exist.

Can someone clarify the "connecting to the gears of existence" part?

Because I wasn't expecting the system shift to happen.

@Stabby

I don’t know much how it works, myself, but Tier Fours tend to have a close connection to Existence and its working as it is, so it’d probably just take a hint or nudge from a fellow Tier Four to find out how and take action.

@Balance

So anyone with an information network will find out about it shortly?

@Stabby

Anybody in contact with some kind of info network or information brokers will know about it before anyone else, and they'd be the first to start claiming territories. It used to be that only the System owners (Tier Five/Nobility) could access the Gears, but now they're open to everyone, just with heavily nerfed command execution (e.g. before, those operating the System could create/destroy dimensions easily, which is unavailable to anyone accessing it now). The Gears can be accessed from anywhere in Existence at any time.

So this conscious non-dimensional entity thing sounds like the Memeovore. And that's awesome.

Huh, this is pretty cool. I wonder how Arthur's powers of imagination might fit with this, if I can build something off of it. We'll have to brainstorm some time. Clarifying questions:

1. Is there such thing as a "subsequent nearby location" in a place without direction? How can people "observe" a non-sentient object?
2. Does an unconscious sentient entity cease to exist, or is it the non-sentient entities that it apprehends?

@Balance

1. Yes. Due to the fact that it is still a space, things can be assigned a location relative to other things. And observe just means to keep track of. If you enter with clothes on, because you expect them to be there they won't dissappear. Likewise the same applies to an object that is brought with. If it's left behind however, the object is no longer expected to exist by something capable of observing it and breaks down in short time.

In short, non-dimensional doesn't mean non-locational, as it can still be located. You just have no mathematical way of determining it's location is all. And one observes things in the way they're most comfortable. If it's through sight, then they'll "see" the object. It's the same with any other form of perception.

2. The object ceases to exist, the sentient entity will have other problems if it stays unconscious for too long, be it gradual deterioration or other influences. I'll go back and make that clearer.

[Stabby]

Also,

Techi out of context

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The unknowns don’t worry you?

@Multifarious

Not really. Why?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I hate all the unknowns.

@Stabby

Fascinating! I like it.

@Mammalia

Thanks. Flicker actually uses non-dimensional space to travel, so there has to be some concept of relative location to go by.
Also I'm actually surprised at how well my understanding of the concept has aged now that I've revisited explaining it.
