Time and Motion Study
An EXAMINATION of the current state of MULTIVERSE THEORY and related topics,
by the Division of Applied-and-theoretical Multiversal Physics


Yes, it's that same document I've thrown about a few times before, now with even more bizarre diagrams and opaque text! But, at last, it's finished. The three sections cover three different aspects of time-and-space:

*Space And is Multiverse Theory; it discusses the nature of a single multiverse, then goes on to describe the history of theories regarding the multiple multiverses out there.

*Relative Dimensions is a discussion of how PPC HQ fits into the Prime Multiverse. It also includes a lengthy aside on disguises, canon cloaking, and SEP fields.

*In Time is entirely new, and is basically a description of the formation of alternate timelines of the PPC. These exist in the Prime Multiverse - they have the same origin as the PPC, and the same World One - but are different timelines.

*Multiversal Atlas is the last section, and lists all the multiverses and alternate timelines I could remember being discussed. 'Attested' means they've actually interacted with the Prime PPC; 'rumoured' is other things people have written which haven't (yet) had that interaction. A bit cheeky, I know, but I wanted to make the list both in-universe and complete.

An important note: this is an in-universe document. It's not necessarily right. In fact, in one place, it's dead wrong: it makes no mention of our world. In fact, to be truly complete, you need an extra layer in between: our world creates various 'Real Worlds' containing fictionalised versions of us - such as the people behind the TCDA Board, or those people Narto met, which each create their own 'World One', which forms the heart of a multiverse. It's complicated by the fact that our world stands both as the creator of a bunch of 'real world's, and as the direct creator of the PPC's World One - but anyway, they don't know any of that, so they won't discuss it. ;)

One final note: the Division of Applied-and-theoretical Multiversal Physics has never been mentioned before; I'll be introducing it properly in a story I have vaguely planned. It's basically HQ's physical sciences department (since DoSAT is more engineering); whether it's a division of DoSAT or DMSE&R is an open question. ;)

PS: Yes, it's a horribly-dense pseudo-scientific dissertation. That's sort of the point. ^-^ ~hS
