Territory: The Sublimed reside in the all-encompassing meta-space or "Sublime" of the seventh (ℝ^7) to eleventh (ℝ^11) spatial dimensionsThe Hydrogen Sonata - Ch. 2 of which transcends and contains within it an undescribed number of seventh dimensional spatial structures known as "Ultra Universes", each which contains an unknown amount of fourth-dimensional "Hyperspheres"A Few Notes on the CultureThe Hydrogen Sonata - Ch. 2, each which contains its own subset of embedded or nested UniversesA Few Notes on the Culture. It is possible and probable that each Hypersphere contains billions to trillions of lesser UniversesA Few Notes on the Culture, and (dubitably) an uncountably infinite amount. Each Universe is stated to have its own unique set of physical laws, properties, and historiesA Few Notes on the Culture. An observer from higher dimensions including the Sublimed views the totality of a three-dimensional space (Nested Universe) as nothing more than a flat, two-dimensional planeExcession - Chapter 2. Higher dimensional spaces in the Cultureverse are said to completely transcend and are unreachable to lower dimensions, and that no amount of displacement within a three-dimensional space would allow for you to exit said dimensionExcession.
Technology/Abilities: Spatial Manipulation, Reality Warping, Matter Manipulation, Higher-Dimensional Existence, Law Manipulation, Physics Manipulation, Creation, Destruction, Energy Manipulation, Large Size (At least Type 8, possibly Type 9), Soul Manipulation, Life Manipulation, Death Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Incorporeality, Omniscience
Attack Potency: Unknown (While the Sublimed inhabit the Sublime, they do not display any feats of significantly affecting higher-dimensional structures), at least Universe level+ (By nature of the Sublimed, they should be vastly superior to the Excession, who was stated by numerous individuals to have been able to completely control the development of a post-singularity universe and customize, shape, and influence it's primary characteristicsExcession. A partially-Sublimed race was capable of creating an artificial "Heaven" that acted as a pseudo-afterlife for dead souls to take refuge inLook to Windward, however it is unknown just how large this structure was)
Speed: Unknown (The Sublimed exist outside out of and transcend three-dimensional space in its entiretyThe Hydrogen Sonata - Ch. 2. The Sublimed by nature should be vastly superior to the Excession, which could exist outside of the time-strand of individual universes and travel outside of enclosed three-dimensional space-time structuresExcession)
Power Source: Unknown
Industrial Capacity: Unknown
Military Prowess: Unknown
Intelligence: Omniscient; There is absolutely no information in existence that the Sublimed cannot or does not knowThe Hydrogen Sonata - Ch. 6.
Weaknesses: The Sublimed Races often care little (if at all) for the affairs of the embedded lower dimensions, and tend to maintain an aloof and carefree attitude towards its inhabitants. There are notable exceptions such as the Chelgrians who are only partially Sublimed.
