On the topic of Layers
It should also be noted that Dimension and Layer are use interchangeably.
We all know there are seven layers of reality, there is the eighth layer which doesn't seem to fit in with the rest and one of the seven is a copy. To be exact, Layer 3 is the copied layer, although we do not know which layer it was copied from, this layer seems to be the place where humans are first thought to have originated from because Murtaugh is from there.
Dimensions wrote:-This dimension? You mean the third one? You know that's not even the original dimension, right? What do you think is more important - the origin or the flawed copy?
Fate of the Third wrote:Murtaugh was originally from the third layer, therefore there was nothing he could do to bring it back to the unbroken state.
But why would he not be able to fix it, if he was from there he should have been the most qualified to fix it?
The revelation that layers can be copied would lead us to believe there could be any amount of layers that are completely undiscovered or that there are multiple copies of single or multiple layers that we wouldn't know the difference if we were in a different one to the one we were just in, for example after teleporting through a karma portal. As well as posing the question; Is reality physical or imaginary? Which poses another question: What would be describe as reality, I'm sure if we asked Elizabeth that question she would have said that there layers are reality and the ability to phase between layers is reality.
These Layers seem to be mental projections that are induced by electrical impulses set at different frequencies (or at least that's how I think it would work), as you can't change layers until you have attached the electrodes to your head which are connected to a Makeshift device. It is also worth mentioning that these electrodes may change your perception of time inside the layer.
Layers wrote:-But there is another layer. The one often misinterpreted as the layer of time.
-If it's not time, what is it then?
-That's the layer of Light. You see, when you move through the field of atoms frozen in time, the friction causes them to emit visible light. It's everywhere you move. It's not a guiding light. You're the one who's guiding that light. Where you will go is entirely up to you.
Although, other beings from other dimensions can see you even though you may be in a completely different dimension yourself. Yet if anything physically in a dimension that you are currently not active in touches you it will seem to have no effect on your being, most likely acting as if there was nothing there in the first place, like a ghost.

-She's the only person he can see. Remember, we're one-dimensional. We're like a drawing on a piece of paper to him. A drawing that was erased, redrawn and erased again. Seven times over.
Where All Intertwined wrote:Back then they didn't yet have seven-layer bullets.
This points towards there being no way to harm you unless it is in all layers at the same time, or where they collide, The knot. That is reason they waited for Murtaugh there in first place.
Layers and Focus wrote:To be back in only one layer, Murtaugh had to lose his focus. After he focused his mind back on the structure of the plan, his exploration teams didn't understand what happened. Some called it abandonment. Others - rapture. No wonder they panicked.
Murtaugh is referred to as 'Focused' multiple times throughout the players travels, in layer 2 there is a display that layers each layer onto of each other once all the switches have been activated it says "The Plan - Sector 9". I believe that this is what Murtaugh would have seen when he was "Focused".
Layers and Focus wrote:He was already looking at all layers at once. He was already removed from one-dimensionality.

But if it was only seven why could he not see layer eight? Is it not real? An imaginary place, because there are atoms here, those seem to be pretty real. But then again. What is reality?
The Miracle wrote:When Murtaugh put his arm into the waterfall, he noticed that he no longer had an arm, but seven of them. That was not something unexpectable.
Why was it possible Murtaugh could have expected to see seven arms?
There are a couple of questions said I will restate them hem here:
-Why was it possible Murtaugh could have expected to see seven arms?
-But if it was only seven why could he [Murtaugh] not see layer eight?
-But why would he not be able to fix it [Layer 3], if he was from there he should have been the most qualified to fix it?

Maybe after I complete the circular models, to see if there are any in close-ish proximity.
