The Infinite was a “bridge-reality” or “bridge-universe”, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]'') a “place between realities” which served as “sort of a home” for [[Jenny Everywhere]] ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Mind of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Mind of Jenny Everywhere]]'') with an endless starry night sky and a simple, smooth, black floor. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'', etc.) Each star represented a universe. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Mind of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Mind of Jenny Everywhere]]'') It also had a [[Moon]], whose significance was unclear.

It had a connection to [[Jenny Everywhere]]'s [[shift]]ing powers; one way for her to shift was to pass through the Infinite, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory (comic story)|The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory]]'', ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') which she would usually find filled with a crowd of her other selves. Most were only passing through, but some resided there permanently, performing “various tasks”; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') indeed, there existed an entire “culture” of Jennies within the Infinite. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Mind of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Mind of Jenny Everywhere]]'') Jenny could also mentally tap into the Infinite to view potential events, without physically going there. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Governing Council (comic story)|Governing Council]]'') To shift to the Infinite, Jenny needed simply to concentrate on “the thought of the stars of the Infinite” and “the beckoning minds of her other selves calling her to them”.

Only Jenny Everywhere could travel to the Infinite; it was normally impossible for other [[shift]]ers to enter it. However, while desperately looking for Jenny after she disappeared from all of reality without explanation, [[Jenny Anywhere#Looking for Everywhere|Jenny Anywhere]] and [[Hakhe#Looking for Everywhere|Hakhe]] combined their skill at modulating shifting with [[Laura Drake#Summoning Lord Grallyx|Laura Drake]]'s bond with Jenny and [[Jenny Somewhere#Shifting to the Infinite|Jenny Somewhere]]'s genetic kinship with Jenny, and managed to force a shift into the Infinite. [[Michael Wherever#Onboard the Wilson|Michael Wherever]] and [[the Illumination]] also managed to fly the ''[[Wilson]]'' into the Infinite by “connect[ing him]self, a cache of Jenny’s genetic makeup, and a ludicrous amount of power to the ship’s computers”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]'') [[Peter Griffin (Jenny Everywhere meets Peter Griffin)|Peter Griffin]] was also able to travel the Infinite by instigating a [[cutaway gag]].
