One account suggested that there was only one properly “real” universe, and an infinity of others which were “only possible, not actual,” though this did not mean they did not exist. According to this same account, there were five entities which existed in every possible universe that contained a version of the planet [[Earth]]: gravity, [[God (individual)|God]], numerical facts, the “self-organising principle of nature,” and [[Jenny Everywhere]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Freak Issue (comic story)|The Freak Issue]]'') In a different but comparable conception, put forward by [[Jenny Everywhere#Building the Lotus Prime|one Jenny]], the many dimensions of the Multiverse were in actuality an infinite number of calculations being run on a [[quantum computer]] sitting at the end of Time in a singular “original” universe. According to her, [[the Entity]] was an embodiment of the computer clearing its cache after it had finished calculating a given universe. [[Jenny Everywhere#Joining the crew of the Lotus Prime|Another Jenny]] found this idea highly dispiriting. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Makeshift Multiverse (comic story)|Makeshift Multiverse]]'')

Smaller [[multiversal cluster]]s existed within the Multiverse. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Psychopomp (short story)|Psychopomp]]'')
Smaller [[multiversal cluster]]s existed within the Multiverse. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Psychopomp (short story)|Psychopomp]]'') [[Doctor Sigma]] once explained that if a limited “quantum multiverse”, comprising the timelines splitting off from a given source universe, was a tree, then the “true” Multiverse, what “some pompous folks” called the Omniverse, was the forest containing all possible trees. While given universes and quantum-multiverses might follow specific sets of physical laws, such as quantum physics, all possible worlds were represented across the scope of the Multiverse, including ones running on Newtonian physics or purely magical principles.

According to one account, there originally existed a [[proto-multiverse]], a "seething soup of quarks" which existed a the "beginning and end of everything" and was fought over by [[the Destroyer]] and [[the Defender]]. Before the Defender banished it into the [[Void]], the Destroyer managed to damage the "pattern of everything" to such an extent that no [[Big Bang]] could take place, leaving the proto-multiverse "stillborn". This forced the Defender to sacrifice herself for the Multiverse, as she splintered herself into an infinity of [[Jenny Everywhere|more limited beings]] to fill the gaps.
