Dimensional Classification

Dimensional Coherence
The Coherence of a dimension determines how many overlaying rulesets there are guiding and controlling the dimension.

1. Incoherent
   Dimensions with no coherence are effectively "Chaos in a baggie." With very little Law, Incoherent dimensions are primordial soups of randomness. Only the hardiest Awareness can exist for any amount of time in an Incoherent dimension, as the dimension will eventually consume anything that enters it.
   
   
2. Low Coherent
   Low Coherent Dimensions are ephemerous Realms which change constantly according to the desires, wills and beliefs of the inhabitants and/or creator. Dream worlds, limbos and other spirit or psychic Realms are Low Coherent Dimensions.
   
   
3. Medium Coherent
   Medium Coherent Dimensions have a backdrop of unalterable options. Though the Realm may still be ephemerous and changing, it will change accordeing to a specific set of rules, and without constant exertion of an Awareness, will eventually revert to it's preset state.
   
   
4. High Coherent
   High Coherent Dimensions are further girded in sets of rules, layered over one another. Free will is still free, but changes are only made to the props of the Realm, and not the Realm itself.
   
   
5. Scripted
   Scripted Dimensions remove free will from the equation. Choice is entirely controlled by the structure of the Realm, and Awarenesses within the Dimension exist solely as observers and pawns.
   
   
6. Static
   Static Dimensions are snapshots, portraits in which the rules of the Realm are so limited that the concepts of choice and change are non-existent.

Dimensional Size
There are three measurements of dimensional size, internal, external and overlay. Internal size is the measurement of how much 'physical space' there is within the dimension. External size is the 'size' of the dimension on the outside, compared to established averages. Overlay size determines how many dimensions, directions, reflections or "Planes" there are in the dimension.

1. Microscopic
   Internal: The dimension consists of a single point, a nothingth in size. Anything entering the dimension occupies the entire dimension. Should multiple things enter the dimension, they will exist in separate planes of existence.
   External: Compared to medium dimensions, externally microscopic dimensions are like a grain of sand on the surface of the earth.
   Overlay: Zero dimensional space. There is no direction in a dimension of microscopic overlay, no movement. Differs from internally microscopic in that perception of the dimension may not encompass the entire dimension.
   
2. Tiny
   Internal: City
   External: Room
   Overlay: Linear space.
   
3. Small
   Internal: Planet
   External: City
   Overlay: Three dimensional space
   
4. Medium
   Internal: Solar system
   External: Planet
   Overlay: Four dimensional space
   
5. Large
   Internal: Galaxy
   External: Solar System
   Overlay: Hyperdimensional space
   
6. Huge
   Internal: Universe
   External: Galaxy
   Overlay: Multiplanar space
   
7. Gigantic
   Internal: Megaverse
   External: Universe
   Overlay: Planar reiteration
   

• Psychic powers, based upon the power of belief and the application of will, exist and work in the same way in any type I, II, III or IV Dimension, with diminishing effects as coherence increases.
• Magic, deriving it's powers and effect from the manipulation of the 'weave' of a Realm, are found most commonly in type III Dimensions, and occasionally in type II and type IV.
• Technology is a product of type IV prop manipulation, though depending on how the rules sets are structured, may delve into magic-like effects.
• Scripted and Static Dimensions, due to their effect of removing free will from Awarenesses, are frequently used as traps or prisons.
