	Flat words are, quite literally, flat. Large, rocky worlds that are not planets in the traditional sense. [[Arindell]] and its famous [[Library of Arindell\|library]] are located on one such world. These worlds cannot be reached by space travel, and their ends can often be walked to. Some flat worlds have literal "ends" with cliffs that can be looked over (or infidels thrown over), while others have a [[repeating horizon]]; and still others, a Möebius, or continuous horizon: e.g., any movement toward the edge, ultimately becomes translated into movement around it. Exploration has proven that although the atmosphere attenuates at higher altitudes, gravity does not; whereas continuance too far from the surface results in collision with an impassible barrier. Despite these distinctive features, geological activity does occur on flat worlds: the mystery of [[Drunlake]], for example, bears comparison with ancient volcanism, now submerged.

	Aether is what separates all dimensions. It is poorly understood by science owing to the inability to observe it directly. Aether is known to be reflective, and have a wrinkled "surface" which reflects and concentrates light. This causes finite dimensions to appear much larger than they are, and creates the illusion of stars on flat worlds.		[[Aether]] is what separates all dimensions.

	Finite dimensions include planets, stars, and even multiple galaxies. They are spherical and divided by membraneous barriers identified as "aether". Ripples within the either form 'reflections' resembling distant starlight/gravity/radio-waves/cosmic radiation, which (accompanied by space-bourne particles, earlier emitted by stars etc.) then bounce back and forth across the whole dimension, creating more and deeper reflections. Through a telescope, this creates the illusion of an infinite or near-infinite universe.		Finite dimensions include planets, stars, and even multiple galaxies.
