Cosmology

== Noboru's Journey to Transcend Dimensions Main Cosmology ==
==== Overview ====
"Noboru's Journey to Transcend Dimensions" is a web novel that introduces a unique and intricate cosmology. This cosmology forms the backbone of the story's universe, featuring a series of realms and dimensions that are interconnected yet hierarchically transcendent. The journey of the protagonist, Noboru, takes him through these realms, each presenting its own mysteries and challenges.
==== Main Cosmological Structure ====
# Dimensions: The foundational concept in the novel, Thanks to Dimensium, allows beings to transcend from one dimension to another. It serves as the stepping stone for exploring the vast and complex realms that lay beyond our own.
# Hyper Realm: Beyond the mere transcending of dimensions lies the Hyper Realm. This realm exists outside the conventional hierarchies of dimensions, comprising an infinite number of these hierarchies. Each dimension within views the one below it as mere fiction, emphasizing the incomprehensible scale and complexity of this realm.
# Outer Realm: Transcending even the Hyper Realm is the Outer Realm. This realm defies all known concepts, including space, time, and dimensionality. It exists in a state beyond the understanding of beings within the Hyper Realm, itself a transcendental plane.
# Absolute Outer Realms: These Realms infinitely transcend hierarchies, consisting of layers of Outer Realms, with each one transcending the one below it, viewing it as mere fiction. This structure creates a never-ending hierarchy of realities, each more unfathomable than the last.
# Hell: Above all these realms is Hell, a place that regards all previous realms as mere fiction. Hell is described as having infinite layers, each one a realm unto itself, transcending and dismissing the reality of the layers below.
# The Seven Gates of Hell: Each of the Seven Gates of Hell represents a realm with infinite layers, each layer infinitely above the last. Every layer transcends its predecessor, adding another dimension of complexity and hierarchy. The first gate has infinite layers above Hell each layer transcends the previous one.
# Demon Goddess's Realm: The ultimate pinnacle known in this cosmological structure known to Noboru's world is the Demon Goddess's Realm. This realm is said to view all other realms, including the Seven Gates of Hell, as fictional. The nature of this realm and its inhabitant, Ayame Akatsuki, remains shrouded in mystery, only thing known is she love's Noboru.

==== Introduction ====
In "Noboru's Journey to Transcend Dimensions," the protagonist, Noboru, learns about the ancient kingdoms from the Sage. These kingdoms, now lost, represented the pinnacle of infinity and complexity, far surpassing the modern realms in grandeur and mystery.
==== Descriptions of the Ancient Kingdoms ====
# Veridian, the Eternal Forest Kingdom: Veridian was a land of perpetual discovery, where paths and landscapes continuously unfolded in unexpected ways. It represented a linear or countable infinity, akin to Aleph-0. The kingdom's endless forests and unsetting sun symbolized a journey without end, a realm of endless exploration and possibilities.
# Argentum, the Surreal Beauty: Beyond Veridian lay Argentum, a kingdom that defied logic and perception. Its landscapes, with gravity-defying mountains and self-folding valleys, mirrored the thoughts of its travelers, aligning with the concept of an uncountable infinity, like Aleph-1. Argentum was a realm where the scale and complexity of infinity transcended the linear expanses of Veridian.
# Caelum, the Multidimensional Network: Caelum was a confluence of worlds within worlds. Its cities and forests existed in multidimensional spaces, with a shifting sky that spoke to a more complex form of infinity, akin to Aleph-2. Caelum represented an advanced scale of infinity, encompassing not just space but time and dimensions.
# Elysium, the Abstract Existence: The most abstract of these kingdoms, Elysium, existed as a notion or feeling rather than a physical place. It aligned with the concept of an inaccessible cardinal, a form of infinity so vast that it lay beyond direct comprehension. Elysium existed more in theory and imagination, representing a level of infinity fundamentally different from those before it.
# Abyss of Yami or The Void, the Anti-Realm: Beyond Elysium stretched The Void, an anti-realm where concepts of space, time, and infinity became irrelevant. It was a realm of pure potentiality, where all possibilities and impossibilities converged. The Void represented an ultimate enigma, a metaphysical abyss where the foundations of reality dissolved into an unknowable mystery.
=== Mugen Sekai / World of Infinities - The Lower Realms: ===
==== Introduction ====
In addition to the previously described realms in "Noboru's Journey to Transcend Dimensions," there exists a foundational realm known as the Lower Realms. The Sage introduces Noboru to this concept, adding another layer of complexity to the cosmological structure crafted by Niju Chikara.
==== Description and Structure ====
The Lower Realms, also known as Mugen Sekai or the World of Infinities, represent a vast and intricate network of hierarchies of dimensions. This realm is metaphorically described as an immense structure of infinite towers, where each floor symbolizes a separate dimension. In this allegory, every dimension perceives the one below it as fiction, a mere product of its imagination.
==== Significance and Hierarchy ====
Despite their name, the Lower Realms are not 'lower' in a traditional sense. Instead, they transcend an endless array of dimensions, each more complex and profound than the last. However, in the grand scheme of Niju Chikara's prison, these realms, with their intricate hierarchies, are still considered less significant compared to the lost kingdoms the The Ancient Kingdoms: Echoes of Infinity and other higher realms they are insignifcant.
==== Perception and Naming ====
This realm is perceived differently depending on the perspective. To those within the Lower Realms, it is known as the Higher Realms or God's Home, reflecting their view of it as a pinnacle of existence. To the inhabitants of its own world, it is Mugen Sekai, emphasizing the endless nature of its dimensions. Alternatively, it is also called the World of Infinities, highlighting the multiple sets of infinities and the realm's transcendent nature.
=== Mugen Sekai / World of Infinities - The Ancient Kingdoms: Echoes of Infinity: Mathematical Foundations and Symbolism ===
==== Introduction ====
In "Noboru's Journey to Transcend Dimensions," the ancient kingdoms within Niju Chikara's prison represent various levels of infinity, each corresponding to different mathematical concepts. These realms, described by the Sage, illustrate the depth and complexity of the story's cosmology.
==== Veridian: Aleph-0 (Countable Infinity) ====
* Description: Veridian, a kingdom of eternal forests with ever-changing paths, embodies a linear or countable infinity. The concept aligns with Aleph-0, the smallest level of infinity in mathematics, representing a set that can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers.
* Symbolism: This realm's infinite yet traversable paths reflect the nature of Aleph-0, where infinity is endless but conceptually graspable, much like the set of natural numbers.
==== Argentum: Aleph-1 (Uncountable Infinity) ====
* Description: Argentum defies conventional logic with its surreal landscapes. It represents an uncountable infinity, aligning with the mathematical concept of Aleph-1. This level of infinity deals with sets too large to be counted, such as the set of real numbers.
* Symbolism: The constantly evolving and mind-responsive nature of Argentum symbolizes the vastness and complexity of Aleph-1, where infinity transcends the linear bounds of Veridian.
==== Caelum: Aleph-2 (Multidimensional Infinity) ====
* Description: Caelum, a network of multidimensional worlds, represents an advanced scale of infinity akin to Aleph-2. This mathematical concept goes beyond space, encompassing time and dimensions, representing sets even larger than those of Aleph-1.
* Symbolism: The multidimensional nature of Caelum symbolizes the complexity of Aleph-2, where infinity encompasses multiple realms and dimensions, reflecting a higher order of infinite complexity.
==== Elysium: Inaccessible Cardinal (Abstract Infinity) ====
* Description: Elysium, more a notion than a physical realm, aligns with the concept of an inaccessible cardinal. This form of infinity is so vast and abstract that it lies beyond direct observation or comprehension.
* Symbolism: The dreamlike, philosophical nature of Elysium represents the inaccessible cardinal, an infinity that is fundamentally different and larger than previous levels, existing more in theory and imagination than in tangible reality.
==== The Void/Abyss of Yami: Ultimate Enigma ====
* Description: The Void, or the Abyss of Yami, is an anti-realm where concepts of space, time, and infinity become irrelevant. It represents an endless paradox, a realm of pure potentiality where all possibilities and impossibilities converge.
* Symbolism: The Void symbolizes a level of infinity that stretches beyond imagination and reason, a metaphysical abyss where the foundations of reality dissolve. It is the ultimate enigma, representing a singularity where conventional mathematical concepts fail to encapsulate its vastness and complexity.
