Trans-Dimensional Exploration

Sooner or later, the humans of this Earth will begin to join the humans and other intelligent creatures of countless other Earths in an unbounded array of alternate world-lines in exploring what here might be referred to as "trans-D reality". Much like what the T.V. show "Sliders" referred to, except of course where histories drastically differ, humans here will not have doppelgangers there.

Humans from other world-lines who use English have already begun this exploration and developed their own lingo, along with speakers of various other languages from these same world-lines. They will be the first to introduce this world-line to the realities of trans-D exploration.


About Doppelgangers

Beings only have doppelgangers in alternate world-lines that emerged from the same point in time in which that being was conceived, this array of world-lines being known as that being's "home turf", temporally speaking.

You will not be capable of meeting doppelgangers in world-lines too close to your own - this is where the multidimensional nature of your existence will become apparent. The matter in your bodies exists simultaneously at all points past, present and future, and in all parallel world-lines. The matter in one world-line would have to bend in volatile and combustive ways to be able to have any interaction with another version of itself just a few hair's breadth away - this is from the nuclear force, what keeps matter together within a given world-line is also what keeps the world-lines from curling back up into a single, unified reality again. Its strength is in holding matter together on a single-world-line level, and keeping it apart on a multi-world-line level.

This is not to say that you can't meet other doppelgangers, just not the one's whose lives would be almost indistinguishable from your own. A good rule of thumb is that if the doppelganger has the same job, address and casual acquaintances as you, then you will likely be unable to meet directly. Though of course you'll be able to message back and forth - but only once you've attained a higher-function "Internet".

Once you've attained this "Internet" (i.e., "The Trans-D Web"), you'll then gain the ability to increase the distance between yourself and nearby doppelgangers by messaging back and forth and arranging to execute differentiating actions in order to make your lives more distinct from one another. This process will occur anyway, though, and is rarely ever necessary. Usually, if you want to meet another version of yourself that is almost identical to you, all you have to do is contact one and wait a day or two. World-lines expand rapidly, and within a day or two, the doppelganger you contacted should be at a distance from you to the point where you can now meet. Rushing the process is not recommended, as this produces certain kinds of stresses in the fabric of space & time, and there are mechanisms in place to ensure that this stress is only felt by the doppelgangers involved in producing it. Trying to rush the process won't affect the world around you, but it will make -you- fairly ill.


The Trans-D Web

As you begin your exploration of trans-D reality, you will first learn how & why the Internet came to be - and Al Gore had everything to do with it. ;) Just kidding. :O)

In any event, all worlds capable of trans-D exploration have been guided towards the development of a system equal in function to your Internet, this system coming to be connected to the larger Trans-D Web (which is what your citizens are likely going to call it).

You were not interfered with directly in order to spurn your development of the Internet, rather, it's a cultural phenomenon that spreads laterally through trans-D world-lines much like ice crystals forming upon a misty windowpane in very cold weather. You are separate from all other versions of yourself across your home-turf array, but can still feel each other's influences via various internal dynamics, both energetically, physically, psychologically and - most notably - via purely abstract realities and processes, which you've not yet begun to encounter in any direct way. But you will soon. Very soon.

A species will often evolve technology and then self-destruct before reaching the point that modern humanity is at. This fate is far more common than success, and modern humans of this world-line still aren't out of the proverbial woods yet. But once a species has picked up the knack of living with and surviving the trials and tribulations of technology, the ability and practice of technology begins to spread throughout all world-lines inhabited by the members of that specie's society to have developed and gleaned insight into the nature of technology and its workings. Even then, some world-lines to have emerged from the common starting point will end up seeing the self-destruction of that species - this is also very common. Then comes The Wavefront.


The Wavefront

When a phenomenon has begun taking hold of a species across a span of many world-lines, there is a period of adjustment where some world-lines will see the cessation of that phenomenon while others will continue it. These world-lines can be visualized as "bubbles" of a sort, forming as blank spaces among the fluid substance of the world-lines surrounding it. Neighboring world-lines simply pass it up, and sometimes, world-lines separated by a bubble between them will re-merge once they've passed it. It's very much like watching water come to a slow boil, or the fizz slowly bubbling up from the depths of a glass of champagne.

The leading edge of this developmental process is known by most other English-speakers as "The Wavefront". Those who are familiar with 1(one)D cellular automata will have a very good idea just how the Wavefront can behave and what sorts of results it leaves behind. If you're not familiar with 1D cellular automata, you should look into it - cellular automata of all sorts is about to become VERY relevant to your philosophical outlook as you become acquainted with and introduced to trans-D exploration.

The Wavefront is what tends to cause phenomenal changes within individual world-lines, and will often sweep up an entire array of world-lines at once as it gathers momentum.

The Wavefront is the phenomenon which has been interpreted and misinterpreted throughout much of your religious history as, just within some of your more common religions, "Judgment Day", "The Rapture", "The Apocalypse", etc... etc... etc.... Your ancestors engaged in dialog with trans-D travelers much like you are now engaging in it with myself and others. The warnings given were not intended to be inevitable, dire predictions for your future, it was simply to let you know some of the risks of getting involved with technology. And indeed, some world-lines to have emerged from that point have met their end, most of those to do so having just done so quite recently, in fact. There are civilizations in the array of world-lines emerging from the point your own world-line emerged from in the year 1962 that are no longer around due to variations in how events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, nuclear proliferation and particle accelerator experimentation played out. These would, of course, be bubbles in The Wavefront.

The "Rapture" interpretation was also based on a faulty interpretation of what was really said. Societies to survive passage of The Wavefront will inevitably develop to the point of being able to join its trans-D exploring brethren in parallel world-lines, while societies unable to survive (with their technology in tact) would be left behind. This is what could not be expressed to your ancestors, they simply did not have the conceptual or linguistic framework upon which to build such useful & descriptive matrices.


Impact Upon The Sciences

Exploration of trans-D reality will have a profound and everlasting impact upon your sciences. The discovery of how to engage in trans-D exploration will seem trivial in comparison by the time your world begins to realize the full extent of just how rapidly and expansively your knowledge base is going to grow. Your technological development will begin to accelerate and soon, citizens from your own world-line will begin giving talks to other world-lines as we have been doing with yours.

Some very small hints as to how this is going to improve the understanding of the world by your sciences:

- Genetics: You will be able to see exactly how the precise same genotype behaves in vastly different environments. Right now, you're limited to using entire families or, in some cases, identical twins. After The Wavefront has passed, you'll be able to study even your own exact genetic makeup within world-lines that have failed to be swept up with your own;

- Geology: Via chaos, there are world-lines surprisingly close to your own on which the landscape will be completely unrecognizable to you as Earth - even the continents evolved differently (to greater or lesser degrees, depending on how far from your native world-line you travel). Earth is a very geologically active planet in virtually all world-lines, and so geological processes you haven't even speculated about will be accessible to you in all their fullness for you to study and observe;

- Technology: As with any new technological endeavor, explorations into and manipulation of the forces involved with trans-D travel will yield a virtually endless array of new technology for use by everyone from top scientists to the common man. The biggest boon for you will likely be the same as it is for most other civilizations - that of the discovery of "virtual space" - a kind of induced, unreal "extension" of your own world into which real matter can be moved and manipulated. Imagine opening up a door on your bedroom wall and being able to walk into a chamber of rooms miles and miles long - even though your entire house is no bigger than a trailer from the outside. Virtual space in this regard is not the same as "virtual reality" - it's a "fake space" of sorts, a "trick" upon the fabric of space and time that makes it "think" space exists where it really doesn't. The space may not really exist, but it will be just as usable to you as it would be if it really did;

- Psychology: Much as with genetics, you'll be able to see how the same mindset unfolds in different ways in response to different situations after coming through the same event, or after living in different circumstances straight from birth;

- You get the hint: By now, you surely see where this is leading. The study of identical sub-systems within divergent larger world-systems is the biggest possible event your sciences could possibly experience. It is an exciting thing, and those others who before you have survived The Wavefront eagerly anticipate your joining them.


The End (?)

For now, that's all we have to say on the matter. Just remember - it's not going to be up to your governments, your corporations or your institutions to bring you through The Wavefront successfully. It's going to be up to your people, the individual and the masses at once. Group minds such as governments & corporations can only bring destruction if they try to control the process. Rely on yourselves, individually, not on Big Brother or anything else from your world who wants you to believe they and they alone are the best option for helping you through these coming years.

Good luck!
