Containerverse

A **containerverse** is pretty much any verse that contains other smaller or lower level verses of any type inside itself.

The base case for a containerverse is that of a multiverse which contains some number of universes, either finite or infinite and organizes them in some structure and/or relates them to each other in some way. A containerverse is an abstraction of that idea, generalized to cover any verse that contains other other verses inside it in a similar manner. Therefore a multiverse is indeed a containerverse as is a megaverse which contains multiverses in the same way a multiverse contains universes and so on.

## **Containerverses vs Archverses**

At this point, containerverses appear as just another word for archverses. The difference is that containerverses are a greater and simpler abstraction of the idea of a verse containing other verses. Archverses are also such an abstraction to a point but there are many assumptions in their definition and the definitions of the more specific types of verses considered to be archverses that do not carry to a containerverse. A containerverse is more abstract and generic in nature. It is meant to work as a base concept, somewhat like a scaffold for building new cosmologies.

Unlike archverses, containerverses are not assumed to be all similar at any level and can vary greatly in what they look like or act like from one level to the next. They are related to the level of the cosmology at which they exist at. There are no special positions. There is no difference for a containerverse if its position can be identified by a simple ordinal or not. If its level corresponds to some kind of infinity in the cosmology it is positioned at, that makes no difference to the characterization of the containerverse itself. There are no Plateaus that correspond to special numbers. Any level can be special in its own right in any way independent of the number corresponding to it. Also, any level can be as generic and similar to all others no matter its number as well. So, special numbers like

ω

{\displaystyle \omega}

 do not necessarily match with special verses and vice versa.

## **Their generic nature**

Unlike most other defined higher level verses on this wiki, containerverses have no assumptions of what they contain or how. A containerverse can contain any type of verses of any complexity and do so in any way desired.

They can contain a single verse inside them or any other number up to and including any form of infinity of them. They can contain just verses of the same type or many different types all mixed in together. The contained verses can be contained and organized in ways that relates them to each other or be kept without any relationships between each other. They can be organized in some kind of structure or not at all or they can be grouped in different groups of contained verses, each group organized in its own structure, possibly all the same, possibly all different, possibly somewhere in the middle. The multiple structures formed by contained verses can also be organized in larger structures and so on like galaxies forming galaxy clusters and so on or not at all.

The only limit is that the container verse or verses must all be of a lower level than itself, but other than that they can be of many different levels. A containerverse can even include structures smaller than a universe inside them, alongside other contained higher level verses. Structures like galaxies and galaxy clusters or even smaller like individual solar systems and lonely planets can exist directly in a containerverse of any level.

A containerverse can, in some cases, even contain itself and be a selfverse as well. By the definition of what a containerverse is, all selfverses are containerverses but not all containerverses contain themselves, therefore not all of them are selfverses as well. A containerverse can also contain itself and some other verses at the same time. A containerverse of any level can be a selfverse as well.

There are also no limits on how similar all the verses contained by the same container verse need to be. Multiverses for example are sometimes depicted as containing all possible alternative versions of a single universe. Sometimes some higher level verse is depicted as containing lower level versions of verses all following the same laws of physics, mathematics or even logic, becoming more and more abstract and generic as one goes up in level. Containerverses have no such limitations or patterns. Inside the same containerverse can be verses that have no relation to each other, are not alternate versions of each other in any way and that have no common laws of any type, either physics, math or even logic. The only required commonality among all the verses contained by the same containerverse is exactly that they are all contained by the same containerverse, all grouped in such a way to exist inside that same place. Nothing else is required.

## **Verse Levels**

The word "level" has been used multiple times on this page to establish some kind of hierarchy. This is similar to the intuitive meaning which it has been used on the rest of the wiki with the following caveats / notes:

A level is not an inherent property of a verse, or, in this case, of a containerverse. The level of a verse only represents the level in the cosmological hierarchy that specific verse exists in. Not the position it needs to exist. The same specific verse can exist in a position in a cosmology and on a completely different position on another different cosmology. This means that verses don't actually have levels outside of specific cosmologies. Instead they are given levels when placed on a cosmology, or, better yet, when used to build a cosmology. This matches nicely with the law of cosmological subjectivity. So, if a verse is placed on the 3rd position from the bottom on a cosmology, it will be a verse of level 3 on that cosmology and so on.

For the purposes of this text, and following what appears to be the consensus on this wiki, the level 1 is given to a universe and it goes up from there. Therefore any containerverse containing just universes would be placed immediately above that with the level 2, any containerverse containing that one would have a level 3 and so on. This makes it clear that a containerverse will always contain at least one verse of the level immediately below it otherwise it would not have the level it has (because a verse is always placed a level above the higher verse level it contains.)

The level only implies their relative positions on the hierarchy, nothing more.

As an example, a containerverse positioned at level 5 (usually corresponding to that of a teraverse), can contain a gigaverse, a couple multiverses, hundreds of universes and a few random smaller structures all floating around inside it. The only thing that makes it exist at level 5 is the fact that it contains at least one level 4 verse, a gigaverse.

### **Size comparison**

This does not imply any difference in size between the two verses.

Comparison of sizes is always based on a shared spacial dimension. When that is not the case, size comparison is not possible which easily allows for things that appear much smaller to contain things that would be much larger without any problem.

The one in the higher level can actually be smaller than the one in the lower level container by the first. A megaverse can be very limited in size and contain a very small number of multiverses on it while the contained multiverses could be infinite in both size and number of universes they each contain.

### **Complex Cosmologies**

Nothing that has been said above prevents the creation of more complex and creative cosmologies than what has been seen on the wiki until now. All cosmologies currently presented on the wiki are strictly hierarchic and follow a linear structure of organization between their composing verses just like the one described above.

But it is perfectly possible to have a cosmology where verse A contains verse B which contains verse C which contains verse A in a circular structure of containment, or even more creative and complex structures. The graphs of such complex cosmologies cannot be easily represented simply through the numeric concept of "levels".

#### **Nestedverses**

Nestedverses are an example of this.

Although they would appear a simple case of a verse containing another that in turn contains another and so on, they do not exactly match the case of a containerverse. Containerverses start from a fixed point, most likely a universe, and grow outwards from there. A first containerverse, probably a multiverse, contains multiple universes, then another one contains one or more of those and so on up to infinity.

Nestedverses work the other way around. They start from a fixed point of the outermost verse and grow inwards. The first nestedverse contains another verse with one more dimension than the one containing it. That one in turn contains another one that also has one more dimension than itself and so on, always going deeper inside, always growing in the number of dimensions, possibly up to infinity.

For this reason nestedverses cannot be easily placed on a cosmological hierarchy simply using the level system where the level increases as the hierarchy grows outwards, starting from a fixed level of 1 as they "grow" in the opposite direction.

## **Different types**

It is possible to identify three basic different types of containerverses based on their internal organization without restricting them into being less generic than what was intended:

### **Medium based**

Medium based containerverses are those that have some kind of space inside them that acts as a form of medium where the contained verses and structures exist. Somewhat like the galaxies and solar systems and planets inside a universe exist in a space-time continuum.

Whatever verses, structures and other elements are contained on it, exist on this medium, maybe floating around it, possibly affected and controlled by some force like gravity guides the movement of the bodies within a universe. In a similar way they can form structures like those formed naturally by bodies inside a universe, with planets and stars forming solar systems and solar systems forming galaxies and galaxies forming clusters and so on. But the formed structures can be very different, as can the forces governing them and their organization.

On the other hand, the existence of such medium does not imply the existence of any such forces and whatever exists in there can be fixed in its position or roam around randomly or even float under the guide of currents that cross such medium.

The medium can have any properties desired including any number of dimensions, spacial and temporal. There needs to be no relationship between the properties of this medium and that of the inner mediums of the contained verses if they even have any.

This medium can also have any topology, geometry, shape and size. It might be finite or infinite, bound or unbound, etc.

An example of a medium based containerverse that is also a top level verse is the Imaginarium.

### **Division based**

Division based containerverses area different from medium based in that they have no medium.

An easy analogy to make is with a simple house. A house has multiple rooms inside it. Those are its divisions. But, ignoring some special cases like open spaces and such that we can safely ignore for the sake of the analogy, there is no place inside the house where one can be said to be only inside the house directly and not inside any of its divisions. The same thing happens with a division based containerverse. Being inside a division based containerverse implies being inside one of its divisions.

Usually each division corresponds to one of the contained verses, therefore being inside a containerverse of this type means being inside one of its contained verses. To move out of one of those contained lower level verses implies moving into another one of its neighbours or even to move out of the containerverse where it is located entirely.

Both the line multiverse and the circle multiverse are examples of this type of containerverses. The lower level verses they contain, in both cases - universes, are organized in a structure of some kind (a line and a circle) and nothing else exists inside them. There is no medium where that structure is located. The shape of the structure can be said to be the shape of the containerverse with each position on that structure that corresponds to a different contained verse being a division on it.

Even normal multiverses can be seen as an example of this. If one sees the multiverse as simply a higher spacial dimension which is normally inaccessible within the contained universes but that will allow one to move from one such universes to the next. This new dimension is the representation of the higher containerverse. One can move through it from division to division, from position to position in the structure, from point to point in the line or circle, from contained universe to contained universe, but not from a contained universe out into the outer multiverse directly. Not from a contained verse out into the containerverse that is division based.

Sometimes, if the structure of the multiple divisions together is very complex it can become hard to distinguish between a single complex structure with lots of divisions from multiple such structures with divisions containing smaller divisions on multiple levels.

An example of a division based containerverse that is also a top level verse is the Omniumverse. It has two divisions and one is always inside of one or the other of those two.

### **Mixed**

A mixed containerverse is, as the name implies, one that has both a medium and some divisions.

It can be a division based one where some or all of the divisions have an inner medium themselves. That way, whatever verses are contained on such divisions exist in that medium directly and leaving them leaves one in that medium. It can also be a medium based one but with structures like the line multiverses and circle multiverses existing on it. Multiple such structures can exist on the same medium and they can even interact to each other, become linked forming larger structures or break apart into smaller structures and so on. It becomes then possible to exit such a structure into the medium that surrounds them.

It is possible to argue that these types of containerverses are actually two or more containerverses in succession and not just a single one. When its a division that contains a medium trapped inside it, it can be said that there is a higher level containerverse which is division based and, inside that specific division it contains a single lower level one medium based. The same thing for the other way around when a medium based containerverse contains multiple structures that act as division based ones. Each such structure could be said to be its own division based containerverse existing inside the medium of a higher level one. These arguments are mostly academic and have no consequences. Whatever way one chooses to look at it and to define such things, it makes no difference. It is mostly the same question as defining where a galaxy ends and the intergalactic space between galaxies starts. It can be interesting to study and debate it but it makes no difference whatsoever. The same things will exist either way. Defining what is a new level of verse in a cosmology and what is part of the same verse is just a matter of classification and ontology and nothing more.

One of the normal theories of the multiverse can be seen as an example of this. Where each normal universe represents a 3D membrane with a bunch of such membranes piled against each other on a 4th dimension that exists inside a medium that corresponds to the multiverse containing them. The pile of membranes, or branes as they are usually referred to, is a structure that could be seen as containing multiple divisions, one for each universe or brane in the structure which said structure is usually represented as existing inside an external medium, somewhat like the void of normal in-universe space, only with 4 spacial dimensions instead of the usual 3 for normal universes. This space has 4 seen as having 4 dimensions because it needs to contain the 4 dimensional structure that is the pile of membranes corresponding to the normal universes.

## **Barriers**

A barrier is what separates a verse from whatever is outside of it.

It can exist in many different ways or not even exist at all. Usually there exists something that marks that border and that something can be consider its barrier from whatever lies outside of it. It can be more or less permeable to some extent or to some specific things or events. It can be stronger or weaker. It can be a physical or metaphysical or even metaphorical barrier. A verse with a physical barrier will sometimes look like a bubble of some kind, possibly floating around on some outer medium.

Verses without any barriers are usually not bounded and may seem to be infinite in size. Another way for a verse to not have a physical barrier is for it to have some kind of closed topology. Getting out of such verses requires one to move in some "direction" that does not exist inside that verse, which can be very hard to achieve and even go against any laws of physics ruling such verse. Other times it even requires things harder than that to be performed or achieved. Possibly digging a hole through space and out of reality itself which could even be dangerous for the stability of the reality of such verse. In such cases the space-time continuum of the inner verse can be seen as acting as the barrier separating the two verses.

Other things can also act as metaphorical barriers like the actual laws of physics. A verse where, in order to break free of it one would need to surpass the speed of light which would remain impossible to do while inside of it for example. Or another one where a gravity distortion strong enough that nothing can resist it prevents anything from reaching into some existing border by pulling anything that gets close enough back away into the inner verse like a form of a reversed black hole.

Normal black holes have been theorized as being openings of wormholes into other universes and that could also be seen as them acting as such a barrier. All one would need to do would be to enter them in the right way with the needed technology or ability and power to survive the forces at work in there and cross into the other side.

Containerverses can also have inside barriers separating them from the verses they contain inside them. That way a single verse can have one or two barriers. One barrier separating it from whatever lies outside which can then be followed by another barrier of the verse containing it. These two barriers can act as a single one and have very similar properties or be very different in their nature and properties.

When there are two barriers, one next to each other, one preventing exit from the inner verse and the other preventing entering into the outer verse, the question remains of what happens if one manages to break through the first one but not the second? Would one be pushed back into the verse of origin no matter the fact that one was able to break through its protective barrier? Would one end up trapped in some in-between verses? Some place of non-existence? End up irrevocably lost or even destroyed? Or, when there are two barriers, is it always true that one can only be able to either break through both of them at the same time or none of them?
