The concept of '''Planes and Dimensions''' describes the metaphysical architecture of reality within the [[Continuum Universes]]. A '''dimension''' is a fully independent continuum of space, time, and metaphysical law. Each dimension exists "adjacent" to others, separated by boundaries of cosmic law and divine design. Within a single dimension, multiple '''planes''' may exist, layered atop one another in a hierarchy of being.

From a mortal perspective, these terms are often confused; only the [[Divines]] and their chosen emissaries perceive the true structure.

== Dimensions ==

Dimensions are sovereign realities, sometimes called "adjacent worlds." Each dimension possesses its own physical constants, laws of magic, and cycles of time. Travel between dimensions is extremely rare and often destabilizing, as evidenced by catastrophic events such as the [[Convergence]].

== Divine Perspective ==

From the perspective of the [[Divines]], the layering of planes is an intentional design. Mortal souls traverse these planes as part of their growth, judgment, and possible immortalization. The [[Divine Parents]] craft both dimensions and planes as pedagogical tools: dimensions as grand laboratories of creation, planes as classrooms within them.

Line 30:

* In common myth, mortals often mistake planes for separate dimensions due to their alien qualities.

* Some scholars describe planes as “chapters” within a dimensional “book,” whereas dimensions are entirely different “books” within the cosmic library.

* The [[Aenorians]] believe their stewardship of the [[Aetherium Shards]] stabilizes not only planes but also the dimensional fabric itself.

* The [[Aenorian|Aenorians]] believe their stewardship of the [[Aetherium Shard|Aetherium Shards]] stabilizes not only planes but also the dimensional fabric itself. Though this is conjecture.
