First let's cover what's bellow the Digital World.
- First come the Human World the lowest layer of the hierarchy.[Worlds exist infinitely and in parallel, following the infinite possibilities described by quantum mechanics, where each action can generate infinite different worlds)
So for every event that has multiple possible outcomes, there is a different version of reality that supports every possibility, leaving innumerable similar universes with only slight differences/for every situation with different outcomes, there is a separate universe that exists for every possible outcome. With every decision, there is a juncture that creates new realities. It has been created by the Demiurge and it's a shadow of the Digital World.]( https://imgur.com/a/5HHqDxP )
All Human Worlds [are scattered around within the Digital World.]( https://i.imgur.com/t3Y8Xqh.png )
- Then comes the Network. [ The Network is an interdimensional multi-layered plane in-between the Digital and Human Worlds and is means of transportation between them. It's multi-layered with 6 layers a hierarchical structure separating the Digital and Human Worlds. You have to go trough the 6 layers of the Network to reach the Digital World's physical layer.]( https://imgur.com/a/xLhGLrZ )
[The "security wall," or the ground is the data processing, logical, and
conceptual boundary between the real world and the Digital World.If you try to go from the human/real world to the Digital World via the Network, you will be blocked by the security wall.]( https://imgur.com/a/45fWVkS )
The Network also includes the Net Ocean. The Net Ocean is multi-layered like the World Wide Web split in the Surface Web,Deep Web and Dark Web.
[See all of those bubbles?]( https://i.imgur.com/Rpz26CF.png )
All of those are servers within the Surface Web, which is the first layer (or one of the first) of the Net Ocean. Although in Appmon, they're not actual worlds (spaces/dimensions/universes), but this would still be a good example. They're included among the Net Ocean, and to destroy the Net Ocean would mean to destroy all the servers (just as destroying the entire Digital World would destroy all of the servers).
First come the AR Field.
[The Real World is connected to the AR Field thanks to the Internet wich is itself connected with the Net Ocean.]( https://imgur.com/a/eSDpjXh )
The AR Field [is above the Net Ocean.]( https://imgur.com/a/NqifLiw )
The AR Field is in-between the space between reality and the Net. Past it is the Net Ocean
The AR Field [is a space situated between the Real World and the Net.]( https://wikimon.net/BT1-56 )
[This is the space positioned between the Net and Reality.]( https://imgur.com/UEDUvdP )
The Surface Web [is the shallows and makes up only 1% of the Net and comprises dozens of servers the size of islands.]( https://imgur.com/a/wgR6xoU )
[The world that liess deeper within the Surface Web is the Deep Web.
Being deep means being almost bottomless. It makes up 99% of the Net.]( https://imgur.com/a/uIBvHVh )
Then comes the Dark Web. [The Dark Web is bigger than the AR Field,Surface, and Deep Web put together and is a network that's next to the Dark Area.]( https://imgur.com/a/UIKqVUs )
The Network also includes Metaverse EDEN from Cyber Sleuth.
Cyberspace EDEN (Metaverse) is a world that contains numerous servers, each server being its own world. The servers can have layers/levels (possibly sub-worlds) and a single server can have an infinite amount of information. ( https://imgur.com/a/xmccnDJ ). All of those servers above are worlds of EDEN. EDEN a metaverse with servers/worlds.
-Valhala Server
-Memory Server
-Abyss Server
-Hosaka's Server
-Power Plant Server
-Cyber Crimes Investigation Unit Server
And other subareas like:
-EDEN Entrance
-EDEN Community Area
-EDEN Free Area
-EDEN Open Space
-Comimani Forum
-Kamishiro Enterprises
-Kowloon Lvl 1 -> Level 5
- Zaxon Forum
-Demons' Den
-Under Kowloon Lv. 1- Lv.5
-Hacker Forum
Servers like the Abyss Server have 30 floors/dimensions and are comprised of an infinite amount of data.Similar to how servers are the worlds of the Digital World.
[The Abyss Server alone has 30 levels/floors, each arguably its own dimension and contains an infinite amount of information - in Digimon, this could make it an equivalent to an infinite universe. It was stated that all of EDEN is "small" compared to the Digital World. The "servers" of the Digital World should be superior to the "servers" of EDEN as well.
Just the Abyss Server would have given Grandracmon the power to conquer both worlds]( https://imgur.com/a/TJCwpo2 ) Each floor [being an area of servers from EDEN, and even areas of the Human World. Grand Dracumon was basically manipulating a special digital shift, bending space-time.]( https://imgur.com/a/70p83qG )
[These floors are various areas of different servers of EDEN, and even the Real World. He was a manipulating a special digital shift and creating an amalgamation of various points of space-time within the Abyss Server or something along that - hard to explain. He was basically fucking up space-time.]( https://imgur.com/a/RFDvJhO )
[All of EDEN = small world. It's a small world compared to the Digital World. Even the servers should be smaller than the servers of the Digital World]( https://imgur.com/a/VGoleys )
[Erika's memory server contains planets,stars and galaxies]( https://imgur.com/a/gSS14H5 )
When Keisuke goes to the Memory Server, [it shows him being pulled in, then it shows where he was pulled into.]( https://imgur.com/a/gMDZ5q8 )
It's been a while, [but those are different memories if I remember correctly.]( https://imgur.com/a/IbsbLOW )
It then shows [many of those spheres along with the one that Keisuke was seemly pulled within.]( https://imgur.com/a/bFyBjad )
This is what it looks like [inside of one of those spheres.]( https://imgur.com/a/f15Ohzh )
And they're [other areas within the spheres as well.]( https://imgur.com/a/wnQs3BP )
Both Zeromaru X and I talked about this and agreed that each sphere is like its own world, with other worlds (or levels/layers) residing within them.
Now, there's something else about this though....[and that's the things that resemble galaxies in the background.]( https://imgur.com/5Uc0NsP )
Clearly, they're created from those spheres, which is like its own world with layers/levels within them. So what I was wondering if we can consider these as separate multiverses? Albeit, small ones, similar to the ones from Dragonball Super (they somewhat remind me of the multiverses in Super).
And take note that this is a single server within the Cyberspace EDEN Metaverse, which is basically a huge space that contains many other spaces (servers), each having levels/layers within them. This includes Erika's server and I already explained how huge that server alone is...
And according to Grand Dracumon, a single server though, it could potentially include the data of other places as well), can contain an infinite amount of information. Could be equivalent to a infinite universe at least.
- Dark Area - [infinite,multi-layered, world of darkness/nothingness from which Devimon and Apocalymon come from.
Not inferior to the Digital World; basically the Digital World's Hell. Each Digital World has its own Dark Area. The deepest known layer, Cocytus, is shared by each Dark Area and Digital World. There's only one Cocytus. It can swallow both the Digital and Human Worlds. Time stops within the Dark Area and there is no conventional space. The Dark Area exists in an altogether separate layer and is situated in a dimensional distortion.]( https://imgur.com/a/9Ka5Em0 )
- Digital World - There are 3 major Digital Worlds in total:
- The conventional Digital World rulled by Host Computer Yggdrasil
- Digital World : Iliad rulled by Host Computer Homeros
- A third Digital World ruled by an unknown Host Computer
Now these Digital Worlds are not just simple universes. It's mentioned that Yggdrasil's Digital World alone [holds infinite possibilities of worlds trough a bottomless abyss of information.]( https://imgur.com/a/kTsg4VK )
The Digital World is not a single place [but it's split into all sorts of layers or dimensions if you will. Every possible world has emerged in a multi-layered way.]( https://imgur.com/a/FQJi1nh )
The Digital World [consists of spaces called layers. Each layer has a different time progression, laws of physics, and inhabited Digimon, making it a completely different world.]( https://imgur.com/a/AGMnsjk )
And there are other worlds included in these layers. For example [Witchelny is a whole layer not just a world in a layer]( https://imgur.com/a/6MH8Ygk ) and it has its own worlds [like the realm of ice and thunder]( https://imgur.com/a/Nbn5Y4s )
For example each anime season,game and manga is one of the worlds/servers within the layers of Yggdrasil's Digital World. The worlds within the layers are sometimes called Digital Worlds as well, so it could be referring to a universe or something far more.
In Lost Evolution, [servers are called worlds.]( https://imgur.com/a/BadubGi ) . Linkz also [calls the servers "worlds".]( https://imgur.com/a/ELb5hih )
In the 25th Anniversary Artbook it was mentioned [ that there were other Digital Worlds hosted on other supercomputers and servers all over the world with all of them merging with Yggdrasil's Digital World leading to a complex world formed of layers, a clustered Digital World.]( https://imgur.com/k2ZuWQ1 )
It seems that Homero's Digital World Illiad didn't merge with Yggdrasil's and remained its own thing on a separate server.
So a major Digital World like Yggdrasil's is not just one world/universe but a collection of multiple layers/dimensions with more worlds within said layers and other Digital Worlds wich were hosted previously on separate supercomputers. The major Digital Worlds are like their own cluster of worlds.
Or for a more simple example let's take a site like Reddit. The site itself would be the whole Digital World. Each subreddit would be a layer with each layer being superior to the last and it goes like this until you reach the top.The layers are basically higher dimensions .And each post within the subreddit would be a server/universe/timeline within that layer. So you can see each subreddit/layer as a collection of posts/universes/timelines. Problem is we don't know exactly how many layers the Digital World has. We know of the existence of at least 2-3 layers based on entrances like Chronicle/Chronicle X, X-Evolution and Tamers. So destroying the Digital World entails destroying all the layers and all the worlds within the layers.
And on the higher dimensions stuff. Digimon works [with the outflow theory of Neoplatonism,Emanationism and Gnosticism]( https://imgur.com/a/adM6W0S ), in ReDigitize it was mentioned that [the Digital World has a nature that transcends and errodes reality]( https://i.imgur.com/ULZaPuF.png ) and in the Xros Wars manga [ the Digital World is a higher level structure that encompasses the Human World at a superior level. Even if you'd use the Human World as a proccesing resource you cannot process the Digital World's data.]( https://imgur.com/a/RyX1t7w )
The Digital World is a higher world from the perspective of the Human World. The Digital World and its layers are higher planes of existence. Each layer is a higher world to the one bellow it and a lower world to the one above it and there's a physical-metaphysical difference between the layers. The metaphysical of a lower layer is the physical of a higher layer.
In Digimon ReDigitize Decode it's said that there are a variety of Digital Worlds with all of them transcending and erroding reality ( https://imgur.com/ULZaPuF )
In the Xros Wars manga wich works with the Adventure worldbuilding it's said that the Digital World encompasses the Human World at a superior level and even if you'd use the Human World as a proccesing resource you cannot process the Digital World's data. ( https://imgur.com/a/RyX1t7w )
So each of the Digital Worlds would be in a hierarchical position superior to the Human World.
The Digital World [ is also stated in multiple sources to be infinite.]( https://imgur.com/a/B2HAnQC )
For Digimon Adventure there are other worlds mentioned. For example [there's the gate in Vamdemon's castle that opens up with the cards. Each card combination seems to be its own world seeing as when Taichi used a card combo ending with the Gomamon card]( https://imgur.com/a/sMz0ecM ) they were [transported back to the Human World.]( https://imgur.com/a/bsozdD1 )
Oikawa used the same card combo [but with the Agumon card instead of the Gomamon card]( https://imgur.com/a/e74tasH )
making them end up in a different world, [a world that materializes wishes.]( https://imgur.com/a/1uDiZHk )
Also the number is not small at all. If you permutate the number of cards with the number of equivalent slates you get 362,880 possible combinations.
Kakudo also confirmed on Twitter [that the pillars of light appearing in the last episode of 02 are other worlds connected with the Dark Ocean besides the Digital and Human Worlds. Each pillar of light is a parallel world.]( https://imgur.com/a/AvTZFty )
We also have mentions of other worlds in Digimon Adventure 02 [when Hikari and Takeru talk about the balance between the worlds and what distortions would do to the worlds if left unchecked.]( https://imgur.com/a/HIkFmdj ) like [ the Dark Ocean wich is said to be another world/dimension]( https://imgur.com/a/BcCb02k )
and [the Native World of Darkness of Demon.]( https://imgur.com/a/3gU1eyD )
Demon comes from a different world of darkness compared to Devimon and Vamdemon and [ the world that turns wishes to reality]( https://imgur.com/a/1uDiZHk )
