"Oxford English Dictionary"



"We simultaneously exist in multiple variants. I could use a phrase with which you are probably somewhat familiar, and that is parallel dimensions. That is not the only way to experience reality, or objective nature, but in the world you know, splitting nature is a common practice. This rift is a byproduct of a certain way of being. It is mostly done accidentally. After the rift occurs, the variants usually proceed unaware of it, or the resulting parallel experiences."
