Potential

Potential is the force supporting and sustaining the Metaverse. In its raw form, it is untangible and abstract. Every decision, every diverging path, every possibility is held stable and isolated from its counterparts by this force.

Mechanics
The influence of Potential varies based on both an entity's susceptibility to change and its inclination to exert change upon its environment. Because people are practically the most malleable entities, they are intensely intertwined with  the Potential, and thus more affected by distortions in it.

The Great Collapse
During the Great Collapse, entities spill into Here , often unpredictably and partially; however, the more susceptible an entity is to Potential, the more reliably and accurately it is translated into Here. The inhabitants of Elsewhere are translated almost perfectly, while structures, objects, non-human life, and even geographic locations are often fragmented, spliced, or perverted
