[quote=@DarkwolfX37] "a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the total heat content of a system. It is equal to the internal energy of the system plus the product of pressure and volume." True, but the point I'm making is that it's something to factor in with Codex, since they ignore universe-specific rules. There are an infinite number of dimensions, therefor there is an infinite number of dimensions with a given set of traits, but also an infinite number without those traits. Since infinity = infinity, the total is always 50% with and without. There are countless other functioning possibilities. Plus X to everything, for example. Yet there are also countless that we simply can't fathom or imagine because we live in a universe with the rules that we do, and simply don't have the capability to imagine ones so different. That limitation doesn't mean they can't exist, and that limitation isn't in play in the canon because of that. Yes, life is viable in nearly any universe, it doesn't have to be carbon based life or life we can fathom or imagine. Further, the System can't possibly filter out all universes without life because not only is that mathematically impossible, and not only would the universe simply come back due to the infinity problem, but also because at some point EVERY universe has no life. "Capability for life" is fine, but remember that the System was dismantled by Dynamo. The standard outside of universes, canonically, is in flux constantly until something from a universe comes to it at which point it locally matches the rules natural to that something. This is why strategic methods are to send someone to another universe with reversed properties rather than to outside of a dimension in order to harm them. It's not in actuality as simple as throwing a -1 against it, that's just an example to make it easier to understand, since otherwise we'd have to go over an entirely new set of concepts just to explain it. I don't necessarily agree. She knows what direction matter spins from interacting with it so much, so simply noticing that it's not the spin of matter would work without needing the exact counterpart at the same time. That's fair enough. Though it's difficult to believe that very many of those traits aren't actualized vectors or at least easily sensible via them. [/quote] Yes. That's not an inverse correlation; it's not a gas law. If we define energy to be E, pressure to be P, and volume to be V, while enthalpy is T, T = E + P*V. Accelerator can manipulate any one of those values to impact enthalpy. I thought we had agreed that the number of dimensions was finite. Either way, infinity theory is complex and mathematicians don't agree how to accurately represent numbers in a set that includes everything. But I would be willing to argue against this because set theory provides evidence against it. If we use a generic particular w, to represent a concept that is in 25% of dimensions and T as the total number (generic total, so this can extend to infinity) of dimensions, w = .25*T. While unending, the ratio is still the same and your probability of finding a w dimension remains 25%, even on an infinite scale, because they remain a set, even though unending. We can't just add +X to everything because not all equations hold true under addition. It breaks under the simple math of x/y. x/y != (x+1)/(y+1). Every single formula that calculates a value would have to be rebalanced and reformulated, leading to another formula requiring reworking, leading to another. The universe has very specific values because it would fall apart otherwise. The "This is beyond imagining" argument is circular and invalid. If it cannot be logically explained under any circumstances, it is not possible. Mathematically possible in a finite Existence. There's no real reason for it to be infinite, and it only complicates things. Dynamo didn't destroy the System; there is always a System by default. He replaced the Nobility System with the Ancient System. That they were in flux was never particularly established canon. Maybe headcanon, but it was absolutely never said. Let's say that you live in a ball factory. All red balls always spun clockwise, all purple ones counterclockwise, all green ones up and down, all blue ones not at all, and all striped ones moved in a circle. But your job at the factory isn't to monitor the balls, but rather to ship them. You probably wouldn't notice a small subset of balls moving in opposite directions because there are so many and you'd be desensitized to noticing their movement at all. That purple balls spin counterclockwise is an established fact that you wouldn't really need to check.
