Same Space Or Other Space II

See Same Space Or Other Space.

Other worlds coexist along a fourth spatial dimension or occupy the same three-dimensional space while vibrating at different rates - or are the same world perceived differently as suggested in Chase The Morning where the language used is metaphorical rather than metaphysical.

Many tides ebb and flow on the shores of the world. Most people, when another tide laps about their feet, pull back from it because they prefer their familiar predictable reality, the Core, rather than the Spiral toward the Rim. Mathematicians, even deep within the Core, say that a sphere, a spherical world, has not no corners but infinite corners. Each corner is a place, corresponding to past, future or fiction. Many people never find these intermingling places whereas others pass easily between them. This reads like a completely different account of Anderson's Old Phoenix.

When a man returns from a fantastic vision of Liverpool to his mundane business office, he is able to find information about fantastic ships and their cargoes on his computer and the Wolves from the alternative reality pursue him into the Core.
