Destiny Cosmology

This profile is to describe the Universe of Destiny.

## Main Universe

### Our Universe

The universe of Destiny is much like our real universe, it is roughly 13.4 billion years old and it's stars are what made life possible to flourish (*at least for humans*) and expands as well. However, in this series there are things that are revealed that would expand real world understandings and clarify speculations.

While described as an infinite universe, it is also infinite in both time and space. There are a countably infinite number of stars the permeates the universe.

## Dimensions/Realms/Planes

### Unknown Space

The Unknown Space is the mysterious realm where the Nine reside, shadows of the nine worlds of the Sol System. It is entered from our universe by couple ways, either a vast wormhole or from the Haul of the Drifter's ship. It exists outside of linear time and plays host to multiple events such as Trials of the Nine, The Reckoning and Dares of Eternity.

### Ascendant Plane

The Ascendant Plane or Realm is an extra layer in reality where thoughts, feelings and emotions take shape, it is a reflection of what the inhabitants feel. It is where pocket universes called Throne Worlds are commonly created, which can range from the Hive Gods, to Scorn or even Awoken. Those who have a deep understanding of the mechanics of the Ascendant Realm could accomplish these things.

The Ascendant Realm is permeated with Ley Lines which are paracausal pathways which those who knows how to use them can traverse the Ascendant Plane and the Material Universe.

### Vex Network

The Vex Network is a deeper space where the Vex attempt to craft themselves and that space into the fabric of the universe. Mithrax describes it as a potential reality. It is normally incorporeal to regular causal beings, however paracausal beings can manifest themselves inside it for an amount of time.

### Vex Spaces

There have been known locations in the main universe where the Vex have experimented on spaces. The Vault of Glass where they created a wound in time and experimented with Ontological and temporal powers, where universes crash against one another and exists as a bulk space.

Another space on Io called the Pyramidion which is described as Hilbert Space, which is an uncountably infinite dimensional space, where one traverses to millions upon millions of realities. it is also an uncountably infinite **Cantor Dust** dimensional space. Cantor Dust is the dimension version of Cantor Set which is the uncountable infinity of a set, and has the same number as the cardinality, which is the generalized set of numbers, related to alephs as well in terms of size of infinities. It also has a sense of transcendency.

* Adding onto this, from what this text describes from an A.I. experience as everything around it in the Vex Network (as it is part of Quria's system and is also inside the VexNet) that goes on forever, it would likely be an Aleph-Infinity as well.

Then there is the Infinite Forest where the Vex calculates, simulates and plans their actions and architecture in reality, it is where they manipulate time in ways that they can generate uncountably infinite realities that is of a fractal expansion, and can take on multiple iterations of itself.

Simulations are realities that Vex created and have influence over as a way to achieve a form of precognition of material realities, sometimes they are intangible, within the minds of certain Vex, or they can be physical to others. They are described by others as being inside the pocket of the universe that the Vex simulate. Simulations also stretch endlessly.

### Black Gardens

These are realms that are outside the boundaries of time itself. There are multiple Gardens and they can even be rooted into the main universe, or possibly taken out of it. The Gardens grow in both directions, to tomorrow or yesterday, where even abstract concepts have influences there too.

### Throne Worlds

The Throne Worlds are pocket universes created by the might of individuals, reflections of their own natures, created in their own image, and where they define the rules. Their size are usually a reflection of how strong the one who created them. They are created from the Ascendant Realm where thoughts and feelings are shaped.

### Mindscapes

The Mindscapes are dimensions that are formed from psychic attuned beings that creates pocket dimensions that manifests the mental aspects of individuals, They can be formed by Psion beings, or Nightmares.

### Darkness Dimension

Though there are no further information, according to Clovis Bray I, from studying the Clarity Control artifact, it is a structure that originated from outside the main universe.

### The Void

The Void is where individuals draw on the element Void energies, this is also describes as the vacuum between stars, the absence of light and matter, and is tied to quantum space as well. There are tiny realms that are described as endless measurements and one of the many infinities in Destiny, which could also be related to being infinities between spaces. It even has ties to the mechanics of Throne Worlds too.

The Void is quantum vacuum which is usually how Vex travel between Simulations and realities, and they are infinities and bottomless too.

### The Weave

The Weave is an alternate psychic dimension associated with the Darkness power Strand, it is tied to the psychic energy of all life. It is fueled by the dreams, nightmares, pain memories of life to form conjoining intangible realities.

## Other Realities/Timelines/Multiverses

### Distributary

With the collision of the power between the Traveler and the Pyramids created a Kugelblitz, which formed a black hole that sucked in the people of the Yang Liwei ship, changed into the Awoken. The Distributary is a parallel universe where it's history is different from that of the main universe's, it is 12.1 billion years old, isotropic and it's metallicity is abundant enough for life to exist and also an infinite universe as well, being inside the main universe and describing that there are infinities larger than others, however being inside a Black Hole, time dilates differently between the two realities, as time moves slower outside than inside.

### Alternate Timelines

Throughout Destiny's story, there have been multitudes of infinite different timelines and split off from one another, or with other universes in parallel to the main one with the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

There are even the fractured timelines when attempting to change things in the past with the Sundial or walking through the Corridors of Time.

Timelines are always created from each moment.

#### Dark Future

The Dark Future is one of many timelines that the Exo Stranger Elsie Bray traversed through as a way to find how to survive the return of the Darkness, each one different form the other with how she interacts with them, but each of then ended in defeat and death of humanity.

#### Vex Future

With the Vex seeking convergence, where everything, including life has been reduced to simplistic, meaningless form.

## Other/Artificial/Pocket Dimensions/Spaces/Realms

### Paraverses

Paraverses are universes that are beyond Destiny universe's realm of understanding and rules, where to gaze on it's impossible objects would rend minds of individuals. It is even tied to other franchises of games that are made by the same company that made Destiny, such as Halo and Marathon.

### The Garden

In the Unveiling, it describes a Garden where the Winnower and the Gardener reside, which exists before time, space, matter, concepts and fundamental forces even existed. It exists as an infinite 2 dimensional plane which divides between nonexistence of everything or the beginning of everything with the plane being a field of possibility.
