Dominion scale and numbers

## 102,068 AD (Standard Canon Time)

As of the year 102,068 AD, the Dominion experienced approximately 600 years of standard rate growth during peace time and 178 years of unrestrained growth due to the appearance of the Vacuity.

Dominion standard rate growth was a logarithmic growth curve designed for sociopolitical stability as well as motivated by fears of upsetting potential foreign observers. It was easiest to represent as a 2log(x) curve where each unit x was approximately 20 hours of realspace time. This resulted in approximately 7×106 growth from the origin point of 9.4×1012 cubic gigaparsecs of territory split across 43 universes in M1 to 6.6×1019 cubic gigaparsec of territory across 461000000 universes scattered around M1-3000.

With the advent of the existential threat of Vacuity in the last 200 years, the Dominion collectively agreed to do away with sustainable growth and turned off all economic constraints in an attempt to out-produce and overwhelm the grave threat as quickly as possible. With the recent additional threat of the Domain, this policy is likely to remain for a long time,

Unrestrained growth has a geometric curve (6.6×1019)0.01x, except due to the lifting of restrictions on pocket fabricators, time dilation reduces the time represented by each x value to around 301~ nanoseconds in realspace, resulting in unheard of growth to around log10(1.8916) cubic gigaparsecs or log10(1.08×1016)~ multiverses by volume, with an estimated daily growth of around log10(292165838752) cubic gigaparsecs or log10(2.23×1013) multiverses.

The precise definition of the term "territory" in the Dominion refers to any space that remains within sensor range of a Dominion unit for at least 51% of a given timeframe. Since the average sensor range of a Dominion unit is a few megaparsecs at best, we can conservatively assume that each productive meter cubed of territory is surrounded by 5000 cubic megaparsecs of non-productive territory. This would give us a reasonable estimate of log10(2.66 × 1014) cubic gigaparsecs or log10(2.03 × 1016) meters cubed of productive territory.

Now let's assume that this productive territory is harvested continiously by PFGs. PFGs output 2x1032 joules per meter cubed of space, giving us log10(6.55×1017)~ watts of baseline energy production. Let's say 0.1% of this space is load-balanced between ZPELs. ZPELs can be optimistically assumed to operate at 1×10-18 efficiency and harvest 8.98×1095 joules in their lifespan, this gives a TEL (total energy locked) of around log10(1.9×1018) joules, not accounting for any mass energy that may be present.

At the time of issuance, the DUT had a total supply of 1×1060 as at standard rate growth, this was considered a reasonable figure that would ensure a baseline income of whole number DUT for each member for a long time.

Due to the unprecedented emergency growth, the value of one DUT would now be a minimum of log10(4.25×1016) joules. However the subsequent explosion in membership and dGPT supply means most members will find themselves priced out of a whole DUT income. With no agreed inflation or rebase mechanism in place the utility of new members is dependant on the value of the DUT increasing faster than dGPT is diluted. If the value of the DUT was to fall or the amount of members competing for income increased too sharply, newcomers may find themselves no longer receiving an adequate income. Many have expressed concerns about the unsustainability of such growth, comparing the deflationary supply and ever increasing value (at the expense of reality itself) to a massive Ponzi scheme. Additionally the release rate of TEL is slow, meaning that if a DUT "bank run" were to occur (where too many DUT are redeemed at once) the Dominion system would be indebted to it's own members.

## Multireal Dominion

A common rumour is that the Dominion has successfully established itself in multiple adjacent realities but due to vastly different time-directionality and flow between said realities it is impossible for any present interaction or proof of such claims to exist, as anyone travelling between said realities to verify this fact would find themselves very far from the present.

This is most certainly a possiblity as several cross-real expeditions have been performed. And while success of said expeditions has never been verified from this side, there's no evidence to suggest the expeditions failed either.

The existence of a multireal Dominion and the potential implications of actors from different realities interfering with their origin realities countless years before they even existed within them is the primary precedent behind the recursive Dominion conspiracy theory.
