An interesting observation.

So basically, dwarf fortress worlds are perpendicular. You know the cliche where its always a "parallel" universe? What this basically means is that the two universes do not intersect each other and cant really effect each other. A perpendicular universe(Or pair to be more precise) is is a universe that intersects our universe at some notable point. So by, say going east, you may accidentally walk into the intersect point. From here you might go to either of the two or more universes. Dwarf fortress seems to be a conveniently interpreted and layed out map of two or more perpendicular universes. If you dig deep enough, you hit the massive point of intersection-HFS. Its literally as if the only way in is through a wormhole inside a chamber made of adamantine. Smaller, areal intersection points are the evil/merry biomes. They seem to be small areal intersection points from a perpendicular universe.

Food for thought.

Correction, booze for thought. And this sheds more light on !!PHILOSOPHY!! indeed.

[antymattar]

hmm... booze... Nah. I like grape juice.

Just come and stand in this water tight, heatproof room while I seal the door and pull that lever over there, OK. That's it...

[antymattar]

Lol. I am magma proof and dont need to breathe or eat. For I drink grape juice.

[Loud Whispers]

I am suddenly interested by this grape juice.

Are you encased-by-obsidian proof?

[Oliolli]

Even if not, they can still be sealed into obsidian, creating some sort of sealed evil in a can.

LOOK AT MY AVATAR! Does it look like I ain't!?

[lowbart]

Universes aren't orthogonal to each other, they branch off at angles. Dwarf Fortress is a multiverse, in which each universe branches off from the original set of raws.

[antymattar]

Actually, they're more like binary. but yeah. multidimensional angle intersections plus bent space-time would cause limited areal exposure of other universes.

You're all talking about multiple worlds, but the real question is: What is the geometry of a single world? How can quantum stockpiles, arrow motion and levers be explained?

Dorfs obey the laws of !!PHYSICS!!. They have no need for true gravity. And screw thermodynamics. Our magma evaporates at room temperature.
