Dimensionless Existence
Introduction
Dimensionless Existence is a the state of being for characters who lack (or in some cases are superior) to the concept of dimensions. They are much different than merely zero-dimensional creatures, as rather than simply lacking axis of movement making them geometrically infinitesimal in every possible direction, they conceptually lack or are superior to the concepts of dimensional physics. In fiction, these tend to be portrayed as an ability that makes the character essentially untouchable or they can be a super cosmic beings of a higher order than any-dimensional creatures though at the end of the day it's still treated as an ability.
As noted, these characters that have no dimensional limitations. A being or an object which is outside or beyond the concept of dimensions. This is something completely formless, abstract, metaphysical and transcendental. The usual scale does not make sense against a beyond dimensional object. Such beings can not be affected by destruction within the dimensions of time and space, or physical matter and energy. Within such a beyond dimensional "space", a dimensional structure with any number of dimensions can be placed, because there are no restrictions regarding dimensions.
Classification
Type 1: Non-Dimensional: Those whose nature lacks any form of dimensionality, such as aspatial and atemporal objects, meaning the concept of physics has no influence on them. They usually fall under a transdual nature, which makes them physically invulnerable. Specifically, these are adimensional objects that can be found in universes with an emphasis on very advanced mathematics and geometry, such as ultimate ensembles, or in universes where there are characters with various dimensionless characteristics.
- Examples: Chozo Ghosts (Metroid)
Type 2: Beyond-dimensional: Dimensionless beings whose nature is not only different but also conceptually superior to the very concept of dimensionality. Such characters have the same capabilities as high-dimensional entities, only being superior in relation to any geometric size, that is, any type of physics will be insignificant in comparison to them. The difference between Non-Dimensional beings and Beyond-dimensional is while non-dimensional beings can be considered adimensional objects within a dimensional space that are transcendent to everything in it.
- Examples: Golden Goddesses (The Legend of Zelda)
Possible Uses
Type 1
- Reality Separation: Typically outside of reality making them incapable of being interacted with.
- Nondualism: Many characters of this kind are detached in relation to duality in addition to the concepts of space and time and other dualities.
- Higher-Dimensional Manipulation: In many cases, these beings possess the same capabilities as higher-dimensional ones, but on a level where any dimensional size does not matter.
Type 2
- Inapplicable Speed: The concept of distance (at least in a spatial-dimension sense) does not apply to them. The concept of speed is inapplicable.
- Nondualism: Many characters of this kind are transcendent in relation to duality in addition to the concepts of space and time and other dualities.
- Inapplicable Speed: The concept of distance (at least in a spatial-dimension sense) does not apply to them. The concept of speed is inapplicable.
- Higher-Dimensional Manipulation: In many cases, these beings possess the same capabilities as higher-dimensional ones, but on a level where any dimensional size does not matter.
