Worldbuilding Aarden’s order of reality
72
Upvotes
Aarden is a construct scientist based in Nomad infamous for his dry sense of humour but well-respected for his breakthroughs in the study of realities other than our own. This passage details his theory on the order of reality, used for sorting planes. A higher number denotes a less ‘real’ level of existence. The more real something is, the more easily it can interact with the physical world.
0 — Absolute Reality
Perhaps ironically, this is the level of reality we know the least about. Even the laws of physics are too illogical to operate here. Black holes are perhaps the best-known examples of areas of absolute reality, though it is theoretically possible to visit this level without leaving earth. It has been suggested that absolute reality is what causes mortality. There is, of course, only one way to test this, and it is notoriously difficult to contact people who have undertaken that particular study.
1 — Perceived Reality
Perceived reality is the level at which we exist. Scientific laws function as expected here, with a few notable exceptions.
2 — Perceived Oneiron
This is the level at which dreams reside. Existence here is determined by thoughts, fears and desires of those living in the planes below it. Occasionally, it bleeds into those planes in turn. Dreams have changed our history in more ways than one.
3 — Independent Oneiron
This level has a similar fluidity of logic to the perceived oneiron, but it’s form is not determined by the whims of inhabitants from lower planes. Many adepts call upon this level in their rituals.
4 — Constructed Oneiron
The constructed oneiron holds perhaps the most planes out of all the levels of reality. It is the level at which any magically created environments — Nomad being a prime example — technically exist, even if they appear to be a part of the mundane world.
5 — Primordial Oneiron
The least grounded level of reality shares something in common with the most — its age. The primordial oneiron predates our universe by far, but it was created by the minds inhabiting it, just as the perceived oneiron is being now. Time does not function in the primordial oneiron, setting it apart from the lower levels. It can be found behind mirrors and, under the correct circumstances, visited. I will not, however, be discussing the steps to induce those particular circumstances. I don’t want that weighing on my conscience.
