Plurality of Worlds

The Plurality of Worlds names the idea that more than one inhabited world exists and that relations may obtain among them. In current discourse at the Convox, the question is pressed by encounters with the Geometers and taken up in a dedicated dinner‑dialog series, the Plurality of Worlds Messal.

Two main lenses are being used side by side: - Hemn‑space worldtracks: In this framing, “worlds” are separate trajectories through a high‑dimensional Hemn space. Distinct cosmi begin extremely near one another in early configurations and later diverge; lawful evolution can admit forks when multiple outcomes are permitted. This makes it possible to speak of neighboring worldtracks that share deep structure yet differ in particulars. Some interpreters use this model to gloss laboratory reports and to give a neutral vocabulary (“worldtracks,” sometimes “Narratives”) without positing hidden rooms or extra places. - Protist and HTW talk: In the two‑box baseline of Protism, information flows one way from the Hylaean Theoric World into this causal domain. Generalizations (“complex” accounts) picture a directed network of cosmi through which theorical givens percolate. On such diagrams, arrows can even lead away from our own cosmos toward others, and an inhabited world might function—relative to another—as a source of ideal givens. Advocates appeal to recurring, independent proofs as simplest explanation; skeptics reply that minds supply definitions and ask how any of this could be verified. Some hold that verification would require contact initiated by other worlds.

Uses and aims in the present moment include finding common reference points across cultures and cosmi, developing language that does not presume shared metaphors, and narrowing hypotheses about who the visitors are and where they came from. The conversations remain provisional and deliberately preserve ambiguity pending new evidence.
