How do dimensions get their names?
Dimensions are effectively alternate realities of Earth which split off from the timeline, estimated around 100-200 million years ago. That means they all have the same sun, moon, stars, and planets as we do, and it also means the days, seasons, and years last exactly the same length! Tectonic activity has shifted however, and generally means the geographic and biological distribution of the planet may be very different than the one we're familiar with.
Each dimension is given a classifier, like you may have heard floating around recently ; ones like 78H, 52C, and of course, our own 11A! This name has three parts, which correspond to where they sit in spacetime, along with properties of how their portals form ;;
5 2 C
The first part of a dimensions name goes from 1 to potentially infinity. We've not found a limit yet!
This is the most granular indicator of a dimension's place in spacetime. That means;;
52C is right between 42C and 62C
175F is right between 165F and 185F
etc.!
While this may not be initially intuitive, this system has become the standard for qualifying dimensions.
Beware, any dimension with 9 in this place (not 19, not 29, JUST 9) has been deemed unsuitable for any life to persist.
The second part of a dimension's name marks it under a certain qualifier of how their portals form. We have identified 9 distinct methods, which are indicated by the numbers 1-9!
9 is a curious one though ; any portal of qualifier 9 and above has been unable to fully form. We advise any overzealous travelers to avoid these at all costs!
The third part is the broadest category of dimension type, and seems to correspond to how it sits in spacetime.
We've identified 16 distinct regions with very similar properties, labeled using the letters A-P.
Though 52C and 52D are rather far away from each other, it is noted that they have very similar properties. This is why they have similar names!
