Hmm. Was it ever confirmed whether Twister and Bert Van Vliet (the characters) were born in the same universe? Looking at Twisted Path, we've got Real-T, Ranma-T, BGC-T, and BGC-Z, along with possibly a Real-Z if the answer to the previous question is "no," in the Twisterverse Cluster. The others...well, the Warriorsverse cluster has, of course, the fifteen-plus worlds Doug goes to at various points. Plus Fenspace? Already we've got three universes in two clusters (BGC-T, -Z, and -D) that are COMPLETELY identical up to the point an interdimensional traveler enters, and all three get their arrivals around the same time, in the same approximate physical location, including Doug, the one who had no prior knowledge of BGC-D. I rather doubt that this is the only instance of such a phenomenon. Is there an in-story reason for this?
Well, for any serious discussion to occur, one must also accept that such an event CANNOT occur in true real life, where nobody is writing events from another universe. To imagine otherwise would be pure silliness. If such a thing ever happened to me, I'd automatically assume I was starring in a self-insertion fic, or something like it.
So...if Titanite and Doug get to the DW10 world by their usual "mundane" means, does that mean they're in the same multiversal cluster? Okay, now I'm confused.
Wait a minute. Is Legion capable of crossing multiverses? The map and common sense seem to suggest that the entirety of Number of the Beast takes place within one multiverse, along with the rest of Heinlein's World-as-Myth stories. If Legion uses the same transport mode, how is he capable of performing the "exponentially more difficult" trans-multiversal travel? What am I missing here?
Another thing. I've only read the first two UF stories or so, so I don't really know whether there's actually more than one universe involved there. Certainly not in the first story, which just has some kind of Captain-Underpants-2-style plot device. (Is there a good starting point for UF that doesn't suffer from all of Core's problems?)
