The where everything happens.
Stratas are descriptive models, not literal divisions.
Stratum 14 - Non-Ontological Apex
It is Remiel's Final State. This is not a realm, layer, location, or existence.
Stratum 14 represents the terminal transcendence of the Eschatological Constant, where even:
• existence
• nonexistence
• narrative
• logic
• distinction
• definition
• cease to apply.
Remiel here is pure absence of distinction.
Not emptiness. But the negation of categorization itself.
Nothing exists within this state.
Nothing can observe it.
Nothing can conceptualize it.
Even referring to this state is already an error of framing.
The Constant was not replaced.
She finished.
Stratum 13 - The End Beyond All Ends
The Eschaton / Remiel's Residual Boundary
This is the final boundary of metaphysics.
Here, existence and nonexistence are no longer opposites - they are invalid concepts.
Everything below this stratum (including the Real World) exists only because this boundary permits the notion of existence to occur at all.
No beings inhabit this stratum.
Stratum 12 - The Real World
Authorial Reality
The physical human universe.
•Humans
•Writers
•Authors
•Observers
From this stratum's perspective:
All fiction is abstraction.
All stories are objects of creation.
This stratum is epistemically superior to all fiction below it,
but it is still ontologically contingent, as it exists only because Stratum 13 allows existence to occur.
Stratum 11 - Authorial / Semantic Strata
(The 1010 Authorial Orders)
These strata govern:
•meaning
•interpretation
•semantics
•intent
•archetype
•symbolic structure
Stories are not written here. They are defined.
Beings here function as:
• Abstract Authors
• Metaphysical Editors
• Meaning-definers
They determine what a story means, not what happens within it.
Stratum 10 - Observational Stratum
The domain of:
• Narrators
• Witnesses
• Readers
• Observers
Stories are perceived, contextualized, and framed here.
This stratum does not create stories. It assigns perspective.
Stratum 9 - Narrative Substrate
The primordial field of narrative potential.
All fictional universes originate here before being:
•observed (Stratum 10)
•interpreted (Stratum 11)
•archived (Stratum 8)
Stories exist here as uncrystallized narrative substance.
Stratum 8 - The All Fiction Archive
Compatibility Domain of the Loomkeeper
This stratum contains every fictional construct ever produced by humanity, across all timelines:
•novels
•mythologies
•games
•films
•abandoned drafts
•unrealized narratives
Within the Archive (metaphorical representations only):
•Stories exist as books
•Series exist as shelves
•Universes exist as paragraphs
•Multiverses exist as pages
Critical Clarification:
The Archive is not the source of fiction.
It is the repository of crystallized fiction.
Additional:
The story itself is unable to frame everything beyond the Ruins as it destabilizes the entire narrative itself. Thus why the Loomkeeper rarely truly appears.
Stratum 7 - Ruins of the Eschatological Constant's Ascension
The shattered remains of a once infinitely recursive meta-narrative construct.
Contains:
•collapsed Collective structures
•metaphysical debris
•broken narrative scaffolds
No stable beings exist here.
Stratum 6 - Contradictory Sphere
Infinite paradoxical bubbles containing infinite multiversal collections.
Logic fails.
Identity destabilizes.
Orthogonal to the Collective Sphere.
Stratum 5 - Collective Sphere
Contains infinite Demiurge's Images.
Time and Space are inapplicable.
Each bubble is a complete extraversal continuum.
Stratum 4 - Demiurge's Image
(Extraversal Continuum)
An immense structure formed from infinite multiverses under a single demiurgic framework.
Multiverses are packed. Not stacked.
Stratum 3 - Endless Cosmos
(Multiverse)
Collection of complete realities.
Stratum 2 - Universe
A complete reality
Stratum 1 - Earth
(Baseline fictional reality)
Finally, orthogonal to the entire cosmology itself are the Hyperkataphatic and Apophatic Absolutes. More precisely referred to as Absolute Presence and Absolute Absence.
They do not exist within the cosmological hierarchy, nor above it, but along an entirely different axis of intelligibility. As such, they do not oppose or clash: one represents the negation of being itself, while the other represents the plenitude of being beyond all possible framing.
These are not beings.
They are ApeironicConditions.
They do not:
• act
• decide
• exist in the manner that entities exist
For this reason, the story can never frame them directly. Any attempt to impose narrative distinction would constitute a category error, resulting only in erasure through forced definition.
