I'm not sure why you didn't just layer them flat. What does curving it onto a sphere actually accomplish here?
I think it's so that Arilou and Orz can know about each other. If it was layered then they would literally be dimensions apart.
Frankly, I think spheres are cool and somehow made more sense.
What you said is true, though, they would literally be dimensions apart in such a way that they couldn't really stumble upon each other by accident.
I also chose a sphere because it could better explain the I.D.P., since I could relate it to a planet with TrueSpace being the core.
Although, thinking about it, the flat layering of the dimensions could have been what kept the Orz from noticing the Arilou, though before I assumed
it was their TrueSpace eddy that did that. Does anyone have any ideas why the stars in the eddy are red?
And I would think that *Pretty Space* equals Quasi-Space, since I always feel that the green color and mysterious music of that dimension is quite beautiful and appealing, so it's easy to imagine the Orz feeling the same.
That's true. I honestly had no idea where to put *Pretty Space*, unless some dimensions are the same by their names. I assumed since the Orz had called them differently that the would be different. I also speculated that *Pretty Space* was the point where Quasi, Hyper, Hypo, and *Below* met, since that point could potentially be 'the boundary between turbulence and order'. So anything could happen, they could shape it by their thoughts. This could make it whatever the person wanted, so it would be pretty to them.
This is roughly my original diagram of the dimensions before I revised it.
It was *Pretty Space* that closed off the edges of the dimensions, though to do that it the dimensions would have to have been curved already. The *Pretty Space* is part of a temporal causality loop, it curved the edges of the universe so it could create *Pretty Space* so it could curve the edges of the universe and so on. That means that *Pretty Space* is the perfect place to hide, since its existence is very suspect to change, but if you are in it and it changes you will be fine because you can will yourself to live in there and you still would, as you are in 'the boundary between turbulence and order'.
*Pretty Space* is awesome.
