Quantum Realm

Real Time

Real time is the name for conventional time, and is represented as a linear line running from past to future. Real time is what normal people view as "time", as it represents their entire lives and experiences, as well as holding conventional causality. Although real time exists as one temporal dimension, it is greatly influenced by the Quantum Realm and all of its layers.

Imaginary Time

A temporal dimension running perpendicular to real time. Imaginary time exists outside of the Domain of Man as the first layer of the Quantum Realm. Unlike real time running as a linear current from past to future, imaginary time plays out all events simultaneously. By viewing imaginary time, one would be able to process all of history and its future all at once.

Complex Time

Known as the duality of real time and imaginary time, complex time isn't a layer of the Quantum Realm, rather it exists as a composite of real time and imaginary time, sharing the properties of both. Due to this, an event can occur before it even starts by selecting the "cause" in imaginary time, then causing the "effect" to occur in a previous point in real time.

Quantum Time

The next temporal dimension of the Quantum Realm, otherwise known as "hypertime". Quantum time is referred to as the "branches" of complex time. Instead of listing a single timeline of complex time, quantum time lists an infinite number of branching outcomes in time which all occur simultaneously. Quantum time also states "anything that can mathematically occur has already happened".

False Time

The final temporal dimension of the Quantum Realm. False time is the most incomprehensible layer of the Quantum Realm, due to its nature. It can be labelled as the "opposite" of quantum time, as it holds everything that cannot mathematically occur. Also known as "mirror time", being a "mirror" that contains impossible outcomes as the reflection of quantum time.
