Watching the universe unfold to my new senses. I could sense whorls of energy that could almost coalesce into matter, nearly cold compared to the surrounding energy flux. Then there were others where the spin and density of energy were nearly blinding even to my senses. Where the energy almost punched through the very foundation of the universe. Being young and foolish. I poked one of these high-density regions with additional energy, adding gravity and mana to the electromagnetism, strong, weak atomic forces, and reality already present.

The universe rippled, and suddenly I could sense three new forces. One reaching across dimensions, I could now see that this force and its associated particles usually existed outside of physical universes. Being the particles and forces that kept related universal groups tied together. These were the particles we had inadvertently tapped into with the original experiment that had created this universe and likely destroyed my original universe or at least one timeline of that universe. Now in my ignorance, I had modified a physical universe that contained these particles. It would be interesting to watch the development of this universe when sapience grew up, to see what impact this would have on their growth. But also interesting because this would make my universe a crossroads. Any being who discovered these extra-universal forces would find the most accessible and safest haven to be this universe. Well, once it finished the expansion phase and started creating matter rather than being pure energy.

The second and third would be less exciting to watch until there were sapient beings in this universe since both depended on intelligence to drive their function. The second was a dream space, alongside the reality space defined by the bosons. This space was malleable by intelligent beings using only their willpower to an extent and accessible to extra-dimensional forces via the first particles and forces. The third acted as a gigantic computer system that recorded all actions and events by intelligent beings.

This has some exciting possibilities since, like a computer system as the creator, I can effectively modify the program for that computer system. I will need to think about this while I watch my universe grow.

To be continued…
