See how easy it is to look like the editor of Scientific American!

Interesting point. since string theory is currently held as true, although variant. these elastic bands have some serious clout.

it could also explain why they don't break unless you're in the room. if the molecules are in multiple dimensions at once then only when they are together in the room are they fully there.


I was also thinking
since the key was thrown into the room, this doesn't mean the door actually opened back up into their same reality. it could have opened into any of the peaces of paper/CD's.

Back to the paper model, cutting each page into a circle, with the punched hole at it's centre and all connected via the master loop (the key), place this now cylindrical stack on its side. Then fanning out all it's circular pages into a circle, so that the top page of your stack is now next to the last page. You should end up with a toroidal sphere shape, basically a multi segmented donut.

Now the universes can revolve about the point that is the key's master loop, like 45s in a jukebox carousel.



I wonder why you choose to have the pages in a torus shape. Connecting the top and bottom of the paper stack means that now the number of rooms is finite. I don't think this is true. Every time the Key is used, a new Room 10 is created. So it would just be a growing stack of paper really.

Re: A simple unified 3d model


The pages are meant to be infinite, the torus can expand to take as many or as few pages as are needed. New rooms can form between the gaps anchored about the key. I chose a torus because like all my ideas I like to refine and evolve concepts so they become more efficient. Leaving it linear and open ended to me at least, seemed a little too basic and a loop allowed rooms to cycle and orbit about a an anchored point. But both models work, choose whichever one suits best. Taking the torus one step further you can turn it into an infinity knot:

With the torus, stack or any infinity knot, the pages are to me meant to be just cross-sectional slices of a huge solid super string. I can see this super string constantly pulsing as if alive like a beating heart, growing and shrinking as the realities are born or die, be it linear or otherwise, a spiral even.

Re: A simple unified 3d model


Actually, from a topological point of view, the torus can be finite and still contain an infinite number of cross-sectional planes. If we are assuming that the torus represents an extra dimension, this would be expected. In fact, it would contain an uncountably infinite number of cross-sectional planes, which opens a whole other can of worms.
