[@Scarescrow] I have some comments on Noc and your interpretation of it. The main issue is that you have come here assuming Earth physics and tried to shoehorn your vision of Noc into a hand-waved version of Earth physics. This is more convoluted than necessary. Noc is a Sphere. As a Sphere, Noc literally [i]defines[/i] physics. Noc does not have to obey rules because it creates them. If you desire Noc to function on the premises of probabilistic quantum mechanics (or its relatives), then have Noc [i]cause[/i] probabilistic quantum mechanics. Then you can be more concrete - first you describe quantum, making sure to mention that this is Noc's contribution to the universe. Then you can link that to Noc's supernovae. Or, alternatively, don't explain the mechanism of the supernovae at all and say [i]it just happens[/i], because Spheres are allowed to say [i]it just happens[/i]. (Cyclone would probably be happier with this latter one, but I'm a theoretical physicist so I'm cool with the former provided you can actually write it in a coherent manner.) In terms of the geometry, how I see it is that the part of Noc which intersects Galbar-space is a fraction of an atom thick, while the web-home is sitting out in higher dimensions outside Galbar-space. Aside from the extreme differences in scale, this is a rather standard arrangement for numerous Spheres. How you transition from web-home to Galbar-space is unclear, though, although this is a rather minor point. [@Antarctic Termite], Chopstick Eyes is accepted.
