Universal Fission

Material for the Uninitiated
Universal Fission is the process by which new Universes are created when splitting away from the parent Universe. As mentioned in the section on Alternate Reality, Universal Fission occurs when change happens, precipitated by the interaction of the Souls of Existential Beings within the confines of a Universe.

There are three things that are important to note:

Universal Fission happens many many times within a short duration. In the time it takes to blink an eye, Universal Fission has occurred what the human brain can only perceive as an infinite number of times. It isn't actually infinite, but none of us has ever been able to conceive of a number that vast.

When Universal Fission occurs it does not always create only one new Universe. Sometimes, change results in multiple outcomes. This is rare. The vast majority of changes are shaped by Universal history and hence result in a single new Universe. However, when this does happen, the stream of Reality splits into two or more Alternate Realities, branching off in what we can imagine as different directions. At these times, the Souls of all Existential Beings within a Universe each undergo their own kind of fission, depositing differently changed versions of themselves into the newly created multiple Universes. Our research suggests that the smallest amount of time between occurrences of Universal Fission producing multiple Universes is approximately 142 seconds, the largest being around 67 days, and the median being somewhere in the vicinity of a week.

Occasionally, Universal Fission can fail. It can result in the ending of an entire stream of Reality.
