The Cosmological Model.
Added 2024-12-19 18:08:20 +0000 UTCThis is the first entry for the bonus content that’s going to be in the backmatter of Volume 2 of Humanity Lost. In this section I’m going to be explaining the different parallel universes universes in Humanity Lost, which will then lead onto how wormholes work in the lore, followed closely by Psionics and how Over-fathers (and other Psionically sensitive species) use them.
I’m taking suggestions for bonus pages in the comments, so let me know what you’d like to see explained through infographic pages like this one ☝🏻

That can be done! Thanks for the suggestion Henrik 🙌🏻

2024-12-29 13:09:41 +0000 UTCYou said you're taking suggestions for bonus pages... Well, I'd love more cross sections. I loved pouring over those as a kid, when they were released for Star Wars ships and I'll love pouring over more of yours. Bonus points for pointing out what stuff is what.

2024-12-29 12:17:36 +0000 UTCThe only two planes the other species really interact with and can use in any way is the FLUX and the SLOW, the rest are all a little too beyond them.
Callum Diggle
2024-12-23 21:31:12 +0000 UTCThanks so much Henrik! Those are all great suggestions, I’ll see what I can do. I’ll definitely try to fit more alien stuff in there. I am planning a prequel comic yes, but that’ll be set during the run up to the Human-Conglomerate war before the All-mothers activation. Aye I plan on doing that soon, Christmas has just thrown a spanner in the works as I’m away from the office now for a couple of days, but when I get back I’ll get that PDF made and in the folder with the rest. Merry Christmas mate, have a good one!

2024-12-23 21:28:56 +0000 UTCThanks so much Colin, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I’ll be away over Christmas but I’ll have some fresh stuff coming when I get back, have a good one and merry Christmas!

2024-12-23 21:23:52 +0000 UTCLike others have said, this lore and worldbuilding is amazing. I like that there's many of these parallel universes and not just one or two. I would most like to see some panels about the Imperium's (and deicide's) bio-technology, like their womb-worlds and their ships, the leviathan, kraken and so on, whatever the others were called. I love their designs! I would also like to see some of the alien species expanded upon. I like the images of their home worlds and I would like to see more like that, specifically those of the pekt and the breimheinians. Maybe you're planning to do so with the prequel comic? And now that issue 9 is complete, maybe you could add it to the downloads? And merry christmas of course!

2024-12-22 12:03:07 +0000 UTCVery cool, can't wait to read more of your universe building. Have a good holiday!
Colin Pass
2024-12-22 09:40:37 +0000 UTCThanks mate! Nope, It’s not quite like that. Dimensions of space still exist as a separate thing, these are alternative universes that exist parallel to ours. I really need to get round to reading the 3 body problem, I hear people referencing it all the time. Haha that’s an interesting theory though!
Callum Diggle
2024-12-21 20:11:21 +0000 UTCDeep explanations make your lore compelling! So, these different planes sound like they are layered like how a hypercube maps onto our 3D space. Like the möbius strip explanation of hyperspace “travel” right? But not quiet since the “lower” ones aren’t 2d and 1d ha ha. Reminds me a little of “The 3 Body Problem” with it’s multidimensional creatures descending and animating. Maybe the All Mother will get some higher cosmic justice (if Elan and Vana beasts care;)

2024-12-21 19:57:08 +0000 UTCExactly dude, I was trying to draw parallels. Thanks as always Justin 🙌🏻
Callum Diggle
2024-12-21 17:22:25 +0000 UTCThis is absolutely badass. I like how the energy (frequency) increases as you ascend the universes, like in some spiritual philosophies.
Justin Huynh
2024-12-21 02:28:18 +0000 UTCMakes sense to me! So if the other species know about these universes, does that mean they've been to them, or can they locate them without having the physically go there? Id assume it would be more difficult to go to universes higher or lower on the scale
Alien Person
2024-12-20 10:08:38 +0000 UTCHaha I’m glad this is your cup of tea. Like I said, world building is my favourite part 😁 Ah yes, I’ll be getting to that next. The idea was that these nine universes are the only ones that the species of the Orion arm are able to confirm exist, it is hypothetically possible that there are more in the way that you say, but yes, It'll be kept somewhat vague so as not to complicate the model too much. Thanks so much, I’m excited to show that part off too.

2024-12-20 09:05:43 +0000 UTCMaybe Ryan's cat is also my friend? Does it have an animatronic human suit, streams, and used to work in the games industry? 🤔
TSCTH
2024-12-20 09:00:25 +0000 UTCNice! I approve. ^_^
TSCTH
2024-12-20 08:59:00 +0000 UTCRyan bowers said the same thing because his cat is named Nero 😂 yeah we’ll be getting to them all very shortly. In reply to Maeve: That would be because I modelled this nine layered transuniversal stack on the nine realms of Germanic mythology, and the naming convention was four letters for each name, so Hel became HELL in the process. For example: * Asgard – Aese * Alfheim – Ljos * Vanaheim – Vana * Muspelheim – Elan * Jotunheim – Flux * Midgard – Real * Niflheim – Slow * Svartalfheim – Nero * Hel – Hell
Callum Diggle
2024-12-20 08:57:55 +0000 UTCYes, exactly! “The Stack”, I like that! However, to stay in keeping with the naming of the rest it would have to be four letters, perhaps “the PILE” would be better 🤔 it’s definitely possible, I won’t rule it out.
Callum Diggle
2024-12-20 08:50:23 +0000 UTCHaha I think so too!
Callum Diggle
2024-12-20 08:43:03 +0000 UTCSome species certainly believe that to be the case in universe and there’s no real knowing whether they’re right or wrong because these universes are completely cut off from us due to radically differing physical constants. Beings from the real simply cannot enter either the AESE or the HELL, not while maintaining their physical forms anyway. I designed the nine realms roughly based on the Germanic mythological tradition of which Norse mythology is a part. For example, here are the realms with their counterparts below: * Asgard – Aese * Alfheim – Ljos * Vanaheim – Vana * Muspelheim – Elan * Jotunheim – Flux * Midgard – Real * Niflheim – Slow * Svartalfheim – Nero * Hel – Hell
Callum Diggle
2024-12-20 08:42:27 +0000 UTCHaha I’m glad you dig it 🙌🏻
Callum Diggle
2024-12-20 08:34:41 +0000 UTCThanks! Yeah it was, roughly anyway. * Asgard – Aese * Alfheim – Ljos * Vanaheim – Vana * Muspelheim – Elan * Jotunheim – Flux * Midgard – Real * Niflheim – Slow * Svartalfheim – Nero * Hel – Hell
Callum Diggle
2024-12-20 08:34:27 +0000 UTCThanks Erika! How on earth did you call that haha literally the next paragraph on the next page talks about SLOWfields and SLOWmines. Yeah I’ll absolutely do that, only 4 universes are usable though because they get really freaky and weird as they get less proximate.
Callum Diggle
2024-12-20 08:26:10 +0000 UTCI really like fiction that creates a system of physics that explains what's happening in the story. Do you think you could give examples of each universe being used in technology to accomplish various tasks? An example would be the slow being used to make force fields and the Flux being used for travel and energy generation?
Erika Spooner
2024-12-20 04:10:42 +0000 UTCNeat! Was this inspired by the Nine Realms of Norse mythology?

2024-12-19 22:51:18 +0000 UTCYES YES YE SYES YES YES!
Mantarok1205
2024-12-19 21:55:45 +0000 UTChell yeah!!! this is some juicy worldbuilding! like the other commentors im really curious about how the extended version of this "hierarchy" works. are there universes above or below? are there other "stacks" or even different structures of universes altogether who follow a secondary set of rules that determine the set of rules of its constituent universes? a sort of multiverse of multiverses? or would this perhaps be kept vague by the limited discoveries of the sophonts of humanity lost? either way, super excited to learn about the others!! as well as to get to see how psionics work and whether or not theyre tied to transuniversalism
Alien Person
2024-12-19 19:19:26 +0000 UTCIs AESE like heaven? Since theres a HELL universe does that mean there's a heaven universe? Or is the name just because it looks like hell and it's not actually hell?
Elijah
2024-12-19 19:13:24 +0000 UTCA lot of people are about to get the Astrophobia they didn't know they had
Omar Molotov
2024-12-19 19:12:14 +0000 UTCSo the universe is layered like a matrioshka doll, denoted by "frequency" or some concept of cosmological "activity". I wonder if theres a wider multiverse beyond "The Stack", cosmologies that follow radically different laws, structures, or are perhaps utter anthema to the standard cosmology found in The Stack.
Planetace
2024-12-19 19:08:13 +0000 UTCYes! We need all of this. Why is one of them just called Hell?
Maeve Hightower
2024-12-19 18:55:21 +0000 UTCNow I wanna know what the others are... Especially NERO, as I have a friend with that name. Oh, and VANA, because Vanaheim.
