Digimon Adventure Tri established the notion of the "Quantum Sea" being the origin of the Digital World and Real World, both of which arose from the Quantum Sea and due to developmental differences, both worlds that should be parallel ended up becoming differentiable through different layers. This concept is possibly a reference to Idea, which was also established at the beginning of Digimon Adventure Tri. The idea is that the Quantum Sea is the primordial form of the world, then as humans were developing, the Quantum Sea gave rise to several worlds according to human development, and through the development of the computer network, the Digital World would have been formed by the Quantum Sea. This explanation goes according to the concept of "Idea and the Physical World" that had been introduced previously.
"From this world, many other worlds were born, these worlds were quantized and thus were replicated infinitely. In this way the quantum sea was divided into layers, in each layer there are variations of every possible world."
"The created worlds are located in different layers, because of the quantization the worlds through the layers have replicated and formed other worlds, one for every possible possibility."
The worlds coming out of the Quantum Sea are quantized worlds so they replicated infinitely.
The Quantum Sea has created uncountable other worlds
INFINITY MOUNTAIN
This place is a mix of a lot of different data, and is different from the normal Digital World. It's the home of Yggdrasill.An infinite space
-Since the data inside Infinite Mountain is different than that of the normal Digital World, the data from the normal Digital World (such as items) is ineffective inside of the Infinite Mountain. -The items from the Infinity Mountain are more advanced than the normal Digital World. For example, the money used in Infinite Mountain is the Megabit, while the money in the normal Digital World is normal bit. -Infinite Mountain is usually populated by emulated Digimon (are not the real ones, but actually data constructs). During Decode, the Infinite Mountain was also infested with the X-Program, making the environment deadly for normal Digimon. -Each area/floor of the Infinite Mountain is a self-contained dimension, with its own rules each floor having multiple sub-floors To move between floors you need to use special "elevators" activating certain switches.
Dimensionality items, such as 3-Dimensional Reality, 6-Dimensional Reality, 12-Dimensional Reality, and 24-Dimensional Reality drop within the Infinite Mountain.
Yggdrasill 7D6 on top of Infinite Mountain (100th floor) drops the 24-Dimensional Reality item.
-Since the items are more advanced (including the money), it shows that the Infinite Mountain is more complex than the normal Digital World. -The Infinite Mountain is basically a higher dimension within the Digital World that transcends it and that has numerous layers/dimensions within it (100 floors, and going by the dimensionality items, up to 24-Dimensional - the items are very vague though).
-In Cyber Sleuth, Gankoomon stated that in times of peace Yggdrasill rests at the top of the Infinite Mountain.
-It is located in the heart of File Island and the depths of the Digital World. It is boundless https://imgur.com/a/VKkSViy
The structure of the data that makes up the space here is very different from the Digital World.You can't bring in normal items or money.There are all sorts of other special rules. This place is very different from the Digital World. It operates under its own set of rules.You can only use the items and currency you get there and taking either our of here is generally impossible.This place is disconnected from the Digital World. No matter how much time you spend here time won't pass in the Digital World and the alotted time of each individual here for some reason differs and the way time passes is felt differently depending on the individual. In here there is a misteryous power that fuels and calms the passage of time wich can be used to slow or fasten time.Ore such Infinity Metal that hold infinite power can be found. To find them you have to defeat a Digimon that holds the energy of infinity. The bottom of Mt Infinity is said to be Hell most likely the Dark Area. https://imgur.com/a/AJmGOWY
Seadramon X calls it a hyperspace https://imgur.com/a/n9ZckWL
This is the infinity ocean.
You can only use the items and currency you got here. Taking either out is generally impossible. This place is disconnected from the Digital World. No matter how much time you spend here time won't pass in the Digital World. And the way time passes is felt differently depending on the individual.
NOTES:
-This place also has endless spatial loops.
Yggdrasil dwells in the depths of Mt. Infinity
-Infinity Mountain, Colosseum Zone, Binary Castle, and Kernel are likely related to each other. Infinite Cauldron might be too.
-While it was confirmed to have only 100 floors, you could make an argument that due to being boundless, any amount of floors could be created. So if Yggdrasill wants more floors, more can be created.
-It's possible not every floor is a part of the hierarchy. For example floor 1-6 would be a part of the hierarchy, or 6D, and you continue until 12D, and finally 24D (using those dimensionality statements, but they can still be wrong). It's also possible not all floors are dimensions as well.
With that said, you shouldn't be able to reach a higher dimension by simply going up floors. These floors literally allow you to get closer and closer to a higher dimension above everything in the Digital World. And the top floor (100), is the Kernel, a confirmed higher dimension. So I would think that these floors have to be some kind of dimensions or higher dimensions as well.
-It's within the depths of the Digital World. The core of the Digital World is the "Kernel", and being within the depths of the Digital World makes sense. In Tamers, the Holy Beasts realm was said to be within the "deepest/highest" level of the Digital World, so deepest, depths, etc, can be used as well. So this place is indeed above the Digital World, with the top of it (floor 100) being the Kernel. And even the Kernel has other areas as well, such as the "True Kernel". In ReArise, Jesmon believed the area that they were currently at was the depths of holy land (Kernel), where even the angels don't tread. So again, "depths" is used.
-Hyperspace in this context is clearly not being used simply for something that allows FTL travel or anything along that. In fact, "superspace" is also used in the game and I think they can mean the same thing as well. They're related. Hyperspace/Superspace can have various means I think, but in this context it's clearly referring to higher dimensions (add those statements, then the dimensionality statements, then the statement existing in the depths of the Digital World, then the top floor being the Kernel, a confirmed higher dimension, etc).
-So it's within the depths of the Digital World, which in this context means at a higher level (deepest, depths, etc, has been used for the Holy Beasts' realm, the Kernel, the deepest part of the Kernel, the D-Reaper reaching beyond the Digital World, etc), has dimensionality statements up to 24D, has been called a hyperspace/superspace (in this context, hyperspace/superspace isn't for something to allow FTL travel, but higher dimensions), as you go up the floors you get closer and closer to the "Kernel", which is a higher world beyond the Digital World (I think it would be pretty hard to get to a higher dimension such as the Kernel by simply going upward. Some of them have to be higher dimensions), with the floor being identical or nearly identical to all the other floors (likely was changed, just like how Death-X-mon changed a floor), etc. The Colosseum Zone is far beyond space-time and is likely related to the Kernel.
Digimon also uses a world hierarchy, with the Digital World being beyond the Network and Human World. The Infinity Mountain is beyond the Digital World, with the Kernel existing at the very top of Infinity Mountain. And they're worlds even beyond that.
SINGULAR ZONE/Infinite Cauldron
It is an infinite space where digital data is placed after being deleted. It's large enough to hold the Digital World's data. It can be called the "Beyond". Taomon, who has great knowledge about the Digital World believes the existence of the "Infinite Cauldron" to be impossible, the idea that it exists at all, let alone a human setting foot there, is nothing but pure fantasy. Even Mirei, with all of her knowledge was skeptical as well. Jijimon was there too, and he has some good knowledge about the Digital World as well said to have existed since the era in which the Digital World was created, etc https://wikimon.net/Jijimon
While he doesn't say much about it (IIRC), he didn't disagree with anyone about it.
According to Shouma, this may look like Infinite Cauldron, but it's a different dimension.An alternate translation says "this is similar to Infinite Cauldron, an alternate dimension of some-sort".There are limits to how long you can be here. Plus, you can't make any records here.They're different dimensions within the Infinite Cauldron: Dimension M, Dimension G, Dimension T, Dimension P, Dimension E, and Dimension Z. https://imgur.com/a/qBrC4YN
The flow of time in the Infinite Cauldron advances in a different way than in the Digital World. Because of this, a being can only be there a limited number of times. In addition, the data can not be registered in the Infinite Cauldron.
Notes:
-Three characters, each having good knowledge about the Digital World, and other dimensions, believed the existence of the "Infinite Cauldron" to be impossible, the idea that it exists at all, let alone a human setting foot there, is nothing but pure fantasy.
-It has some similarities to the Infinity Mountain and Digital Dungeon.
-Each dimension of the Infinite Cauldron is probably infinite as well. And it's likely that only a single dimension of this place was needed to hold the data of a Digital World as well.

Digital Dungeon
The Digital Dungeon is a place that comes from the Digital World's spatial distortion (at least according to Koushiro - he could be wrong). It exists beyond space-time and is connected to various (perhaps all) worlds and eras (both Digital and Real). They're various floors within it, with each floor being a different dimension.
Gankoomon staved off its collapse.
Colosseum Zone
In Super Xros Wars, there's a zone called "Colosseum Zone", and it's in the "center of the world", which is usually referring to the Kernel. It's also stated to be far beyond the space-time of the Digital World, just as the Kernel is. It's said that the Digi Colosseum is, in a sense, the Digital World itself. And only chosen Digimon can enter here.
It's possible this zone could be somewhere within the Kernel, or near, or related to it somehow (such as being a part of it). The Kernel is within the center of the Digital World, far beyond the space-time of the Digital World. The Colosseum Zone was mentioned in the Xros Wars manga as well.
What's interesting is that it says that it's far beyond space-time, not simply being beyond it. They're other worlds "beyond" space-time, but nothing about them being far beyond space-time. The Digital World is technically "beyond" the space-time of the Human World, and this place is apparently "far beyond" the space-time of the Digital World.
Binary Castle
This mystical region is sacred ground and not meant to be easily accessible. This superspace/hyperspace is filled with legend. It's said that all the data of file Island (likely the Digital World) is processed here. This place is a collection of data that is deeply linked to the composition of the Digital World. They're also switches that can alter the time in the Digital World within this place as well. At first, Omegamon and Dukemon were the guardians of the switches, but the player (Taiga), eventually takes their places.
Colosseum
The only space that connects the Digital World and Real World.
Notes: There's more about this place and I'll eventually add more at another time.
Primordial Realm
This place is most likely the Kernel (or at least clearly related to it), but I'm going to keep it separate. Something similar is also mentioned in New Century as well. The translations aren't that good either, unfortunately.
"This is the 'realm of origin' - - "
"Origin... primordial?"
"The Digital World must have also arisen from the Chaos of Information. The ancient data domain, the now forgotten Digital World... that is the 'primordial domain'."
"Ancient... ancient..."
"Only Digimon of the old standard can access this place. Digimon compatible with the old standard, in other words..."
"We Prototype Digimon,"
Dorumon showed him the interface, then looked at Ryudamon.
"About that," Dorumon explained for him. "Only Prototype Digimon can access the 'Primordial Realm'. Even the Royal Knights can't enter here." That's because the standards are different.
"So the Royal Knights can't come here...! That's a relief!"
Eiji breathed a sigh of relief.
"This 'Primordial Realm' is outside the jurisdiction of the System Administrators, and it's not included in the 'system' of the Digital World that they must protect. It's a realm that's not in their world - the Index.
It's a 'Lost World', I guess... but it certainly exists in the Digital World."
"This realm is the 'Holy Grail' that I... all of us SoC have been searching for. It's a forgotten ancient temple... the ancient Administrator Mode, if you will."
"Just listening to this story sounds scary, this is it! Is this the 'Realm of Origin'...!"
Nothing.
A pure white space.
But it's not nothing, just invisible. There is a floor, and most importantly, the people themselves are able to exist.
"So, it's like the other side of the Digital World, or a debug mode?"
The space expands.
--The three attributes that form the basis of Digimon taxonomy-- " Virus Type" , "Data Type", and "Vaccine Type" motifs.
An object with a mark engraved on it moved above Lugamon's head.
"It's a virus species... which means it's yours, Lugamon,"
Dorumon explained, and above the lying Ryudamon, a sphere with each of the monsters' attribute marks engraved on it floated.
"Virus type"
"Data type"
"Vaccine type"
They appeared in response to the three Prototype Digimon visiting the "Primordial Realm."
"This object is the terminal, and the Prototype Digimon are the interface... Now, Tartarus, this is the castle of the 'Holy Grail'."
"We succeeded in cracking the gate, and reached the 'Primordial Realm'...! Phase 3 complete. Operation Tartarus, continue to Phase 4."
Kosuke took a step forward.
"Kisagata! It's finally here...!"
"We will now attempt to access the 'Primordial Data'.
"I have no delusions about becoming the 'god' of the Digital World. Just for a moment, just a small part of it is enough."
"This place is... dangerous! The 'realm of origin'...? If we use a place like this as a toy for the curiosity of humans and Digimon...!"
"Even so... this place is too dangerous! It could completely destroy the relationship between humanity and the Digital World! Do we... understand the Digital World and Digimon well enough to touch this place...?!"
Yurin's words reverberated throughout the 'realm of origin'.
Here, only voices and words evoked the reality of life.
In the beginning there was chaos.
Then logic emerged. Language. Perhaps that was the beginning of the digital world.
And the world began to be colored by the noise of emotion.
Just like the dark side of the moon -- the other side of the wall gate. For the first time, mankind has left footprints beyond the "wall".
From there, the "primordial realm" leads to endless data.
Challenge.
Countless symbols - an unknown language - are engraved densely into the blocks that make up the stone circle.
It is an ancient code that only Prototype Digimon can decode.
"Wait, Saya."
The decoding program starts.
The Altar of the Three Conflicts synchronizes with the Prototype Digimon.
A tool of humanity, a "primitive realm" at the will of man, the entire digital world...
A dome swept over the seemingly infinite expanse of the Source Domain, covered in information that flew overhead like constellations in a planetarium. Through a multilayered projection of a tree, stretching on to infinity, growing wider and wider as it went, was a single, simple line of light. “This is it. The universal directory information tree,” the professor said, sifting through the data to arrive at a minute point, deep, deep within the structure.
“Search Complete,” the Source Domain’s voice intoned.
A small bit of data appeared as it was decrypted.
A spark. Bit by bit a small, fairy-like Digimon appeared, wreathed in crackling lightning.
“Pulsemon!”
“What’s Pulsemon doing here?!”
Loogamon and Eiji’s delight gave way to puzzlement.
Pulsemon’s face was completely blank, its eyes vacant.
“Well, what do you think? This is indeed the Pulsemon you and Loogamon were looking for,”
the professor said.
“This is but a taste of what can be done with control of the Source Domain’s data,” he continued, every word dripping with a sense of superiority.
“You mean we can search the entirety of the Digital World from here?”
Here, in the Depths of the Digital World, where no human had ever tread, one could search for any Digimon by their identification code.
Before anyone had time to process the power of what they’d witnessed, another light shot out in search of its target.
Another form appeared before them.
“The Black Agumon!” Kosuke shouted.
Fenrirgamon reaches the sacred realm of the Digital World, letting out a beastly roar that foretells the death of the old world and the birth of a new one.
Divine Realm
Just like with the Primordial Realm, this place is most likely the Kernel or at least clearly related to it.
An independent space outside the Digital World, an original realm (or primordial realm) from the world's creation. Only Alphamon can access it. Ulforce V-Dramon doesn't know anything about it nor can even imagine it. It belongs to the Divine Realm.
KERNEL
The Kernel, also known as Heaven, Heavenly World, God's Domain, Realm of the Gods (or Realm of God), System World, God's Territory, Paradise, Divine Realm, Sacred Realm, etc. It's the core (or center, heart, etc) of the Digital World as well as being the domain of God (or Gods), such as Yggdrasill, Homeros, etc. The Kernel is a "higher world" while the Digital World is seen as a "lower world" and it sits at the top of Infinity Mountain.
The Kernel is the place where all data in the Digital World (including the past and future) is computed. Because of this, if something happens here, it would collapse the Digital World. It can also allow omnipotent-like control over the Digital World as well. However, Digimon, Humans, Spirals, etc, cannot control the full power of the Kernel. Only God/Gods.
The information of the Digital World, including the past, future, etc, is all recorded on a storage device such as the Memorial Stella (they're other types of storage devices though). This information is sent to the Binary Castle, a superspace, where it's processed. Then through the Infinity Mountain, a hyperspace, which eventually gets to the top, the Kernel, where the information gets computed.
This is where Yggdrasill's core exists, and is where the physical manifestations, such as 7D6
rest. The Kernel is a part of the Host Computer Yggdrasill as well.
So in other words, the whole Digital World (along with the past/future), including all the layers and worlds within the layers, Binary Castle (a superspace), and Infinity Mountain (a hyperspace) are also a part of Yggdrasill as well.
Yggdrasill's Digital World and Homeros' Digital World: Illad
both have Kernels. And they also act similar as well. It's possible that the Digital Worlds within the layers have their own Kernels as well, but we don't know for certain. Since Yggdrasill's Digital World and Homeros' Digital World: Iliad both have Kernels, it's possible that the other Digital Worlds also had Kernels prior to merging with Yggdrasill's Digital World (and if they did, what happened to them once they merged with Yggdrasill's DW? No idea sadly). According to Zeromaru X (user), many Kernels was mentioned in New Century.There's a place called the "True Kernel", which is the very summit of the Kernel. Even the angels don't tread there. It's possible that this is the equivalent to the Cocytus, but we don't know for sure right now.There's also a castle within the Kernel, which is shown in Next, Cyber Sleuth, and the Xros Wars manga. It's also mentioned in a profile of Ofanimon's and in Collectors as well.
The Kernel overrides all the textures/appearances of the Digital World.
This is the System World. They're inside of Yggdrasill.
The Three Great Angels, the Guardians of God's Territory, the very pillar upon which this world rests.
This is the first time Jesmon is in the Kernel. It's definitely the pillar of the Digital World, God's Territory.
Eiji reached the "pillar of the Kernel".
The vast data streams flowing within the Kernel are all components of the Digital World.
From the past to the future, every bit of the Digital World is here.
Manipulating data this dense is dangerous. It'll swallow you up.
The data is unmanageable like this. The information is too vast and chaotic--it's all tangled up like a bottomless vortex.
It's practically impossible to analyze it like this.
However, Eiji can least follow the outer layer. The flow of data appears to converge at a single point.
There must be some nucleus where data is consolidated and compiled.
That place which is the very summit of this holy land (Kernel), the True Kernel.
Jesmon and the others suddenly see a memory.
This was something that someone who wandered into the Digital World experienced, but who knows when or where.
It also had many emotions.
They don't even know what time period this person was from.
This is the Kernel. Everything in the Digital World is here. That memory must have been recorded here.
In God's Territory, anything you could dream up might be possible. You could even remake the entire world.
Jesmon believes the area that they're currently at is the depths of holy land (Kernel), where even the angels don't tread.
Kernel and the Dark Area are the exact opposites. Maybe that's why it's possible to open a path from here (to the Kernel)
Or maybe they were once essentially of the same in nature?
The spaces in the Kernel are probably distorted (done by Spiral Origin)
It's in a state similar to a Digital Point.
Full control over the Kernel gives you the power of omnipotence, and only God (or Gods) can have full control over the Kernel. Spiral, Humans, and Digimon cannot control the full power of the Kernel. Only God (or Gods).
In the Digital World after clustering, the Kernel is the area thought to be where the data of the world is calculated. It corresponds to the integrated circuit (CPU) in a computer, as the "Digicore" for the Digimon. Since the Digital World may collapse if the Kernel malfunctions, it is a sanctuary that unauthorized persons cannot enter.
The "Heavens" (天界) that rules the Digital World!! The place that can be said to be the World's Center (中心), the Heavens. The host computer manages everything.
The Kernel is rumored to be the place where all data in the Digital World is computed. It's said if something goes wrong there, the Digital World will collapse. However, the reality of that situation isn't actually known. It is also said the angel-type Digimon Rasielmon has the power to see everything in the Digital World from the Kernel.
The Kernel is a "higher world" while the Digital World is seen as the "lower world".
I normally don't like using Wikimon like this, but they have the Kernel as a higher dimension as well. They're usually the ones who do the translations and what not.
Host Computer Yggdrasil (ホストコンピューターイグドラシル): Putting itself beyond the New Digital World, it has adopted a structure that does not accumulate data in itself. In addition, it has designated the 3 layers (Chronicle Layer System ~クロニクルレイヤーシステム~) to distribute the data and manage the Digimon efficiently.
The Colosseum Zone is likely the Kernel or clearly related to it in some way. It exists far beyond the space-time of the Digital World, is in the center of the Digital World, and it's said that the Digi Colosseum is, in a sense, the Digital World itself and only chosen Digimon can enter here. It also mentions that this place will be destroyed at the same time as the Digital World, which we know is the case if something happens to the Kernel.
The Kernel sits at the top of Infinity Mountain. The Infinity Mountain has 100 floors, each likely being its own dimension, is a hyperspace, has dimensionality statements (up to 24D), it's within the depths of the Digital World (in this context, means higher), it's boundless, etc. The center of the world, the Kernel, is the 100th floor. So a confirmed higher world is merely another floor, albeit the very top. Also, Digimon ReArise introduced us to another, deeper area, called the "True Kernel".
An Angel Digimon which has the appearance of a beast. It is one of the Three Archangel Digimon assigned the highest rank, just like the Seraph Digimon Seraphimon. Its primary duty is to defend the Digital World's "Kernel".
One of the Three Great Angels who protects god's wisdom. It protects the kernel of the Digital World!
To Cherubimon, the Cherub-type Digimon that is the pinnacle of the Holy Beast Digimon, God gave their vasts amounts of data, making Cherubimon the “Databank” (データバンク) that holds God’s vast knowledge.
When the confrontation between “good” and “evil” was born, “God,” the being that governs the Digital World, shared its own aspects with three apostles so they could lead the “God’s Army” in preparation for the battle against the approaching Fallen Angel-type Digimon. Its absolute justice and guardship over order were given to the Seraph-type Seraphimon, the pinnacle of male angel Digimon.
Its huge amount of data is given to the Cherubimon of the Cherub-type, which is the pinnacle of the Holy Beast Digimon. Its Deep compassion was given to Ophan-type Ophanimon, the symbol of the female angel Digimon. It is the birth of the Three Archangel Digimon. The ranks of the gods, consisting of Archangel/Angel-type Digimon and Holy Beast-type Digimon, are present in the network along with the “Royal Knights” as Digimon belonging to the Virus Busters.
This formation of gods is organized as such that Archangel-type Digimon have 8 wings, Angel-type Digimon have 6 wings, and Holy Beast Digimon wear “Holy Rings”, and is aligned with the Royal Knights existing on the network as Virus Buster Digimon with special abilities.
However, why did the conflicting structure of “good” and “evil” arise in the Digimon world? It seems that the only way to get an answer to that is to wait for the story of the “Heaven-sent child” born from the “God of Digimon” ~ The supreme angel born with 12 wings ~
She is like the Holy Mother who spreads love and kindness in the Digital World, and together with Seraphimon and Cherubimon, she protects the "God's Realm," the center of the Digital World.
An Ophan Digimon that is the final form of feminine Angel Digimon. It is one of the Three Archangel Digimon who protect the Digital World's core "Kernel" (God's domain), alongside Seraphimon and Cherubimon. As the Digital World's Holy Mother-like being, it imparts the loving and merciful side of God, while Seraphimon is the executor of the enlightened God's laws, and Cherubimon is the guardian of God and its wisdom; each has their own duty. Its Special Moves are "Eden's Javelin" and "Sefirot Crystal". -
This holy mother of benevolence protects God's castle, purifying evil and leading them to paradise!!
The final form of female-type Angel Digimon, who imparts love and compassion. Together with Seraphimon and Cherubimon, it protects the Kernel (God's domain), the core of the Digital World.
This ultimate holy dragon is sent from Heaven to bring word of the Apocalypse!
This dragon queen of the sacred realm descends when it senses great evil!
An Ophan Digimon that was once appointed to the same rank as Ofanimon. It possesses the mysterious power to foresee everything in the world from the "Kernel" (God's domain). It is said that it knows all about events throughout the Digital World, and has gained a divine amount of knowledge with that power. Its Special Moves are freely combining the five elements from the magic circles on its arms and releasing enormous energy (Knowledge Stream). And, as for its "Sefer Raziel", which brings about all kinds of miracles to exterminate the adversary, not even Rasielmon itself knows what will happen.
An Ophan Digimon that is said to have gained a divine amount of knowledge. It knows all about events throughout the Digital World due to its mysterious power to foresee everything in the world from the "Kernel" (God's domain)
A mysterious ophan who foresees all of the world's happenings!
An Angel-type Digimon who possesses the clairvoyant eyes that see through the world and a knowledge equivalent to that of a God (Yggdrasill)
Emissaries of the "Kernel" (God's Domain), they are a group that acts to preserve the order of the Digital World.
Everything in the Digital World, past and future, is all recorded in the Memorial Stella (or some storage device). This information is sent to superspaces such as the Binary Castle, which is where said information is said to be processed. The Binary Castle is likely related to the Infinity Mountain, which is a hyperspace. As you go up the floors of the Infinity Mountain, you reach the Kernel, which is where the information is computed.
The center of the world...the area closest to Yggdrasill...
After their battle against Death-X-mon, they quietly journeyed around all kinds of places in the three realms of the New Digital World (the Ulud, Versandi and Skuld Terminals), and traveled as far as the place considered to be the Digital World's core known as the Kernel.
The Three Great Angels, who witnessed what had happened from the Kernel, also resonated with the words from Kōta and the others, and so Ofanimon X and Cherubimon X (Virtue), who entrusted Seraphimon to protect the Kernel, joined them...
Deep in the Digital World, Yggdrasill's core.
With the full strength of the Kernel at the Spiral Origin's disposal, they're no more than insects pinched between its fingers. With but a modicum of pressure from its fingertips, they could all be eliminated in a moment.
The Digital World starts to crumble. It turns into noise (useless information). To realize its endeavor, the Digital World must cease to be. All of the data from what it once was will be utilize for the world of Spiral to come. With the Kernel under the Spiral Origin's control, entire Digital World faces utter destruction. Everyone is kicked out of the Kernel. Even the Three Great Angels can no longer can interfere.
A calamitous phenomenon sweeps suddenly across the entire Digital World. Brought about by some malignant force of will, reality is remade to fit its dark desires.
The connection to the Kernel has been totally severed. But right before the connection was severed, Rasielmon saw something particularly concerning. An evil plan to take advantage of this confusion.
Rasielmon is an angel imbued with the power to witness all in this world by the Kernel.Rasielmon's connection to the Kernel has been severed. Neither can Rasielmon make a path to the Kernel.Rasielmon saw another crisis.According to Lucemon Child, all is lost due to the Kernel being compromised.Rasielmon is the angel that gets knowledge from the Kernel.The Kernel is being controlled by the Spiral Origin.
Rasielmon can see potential futures thanks to the Kernel.The Kernel has imbued Rasielmon with the power to witness all things in the world.
Rasielmon can predict attacks thanks to the knowledge of the Kernel.Rasielmon's miracles should be related to the Kernel as well.Rasielmon can't use the full extent of these powers while in the place between worlds.
The powerful Spiral Guardians
created based on Ultimate Digimon data obtained from the Kernel.
The Spiral Guardians are fighting more than half of the Digital World's forces. They're powerful, but it's also due to how much data that they have. They're immortal and they'll just revive as well.
The Spiral Origin has unlimited power of the Kernel at its fingertips (we find out that only Gods can have full control though).
One of the Three Archangels who rule the Digital World, an ultimate being of Virtue. Protects the core of the Digital World and uses a Lightning Spear to deal divine punishment to evildoers!
Metallicdramon rules the heavens and has administrative privileges that allows it to manipulate old Digital World's data, reconfiguring Human World's data to assist in the development of the Digital World. It is the highest-level security protector of the Digital World's center
In order to halt the collapse, Omegamon X and Alphamon decided to use their own data to reinforce the old world, and headed to the Kernel, the “realm of God”.
Back when I was still allowed in “God’s territory”, the Kernel, I’d once provided some advice for Yggdrasil, who was concerned for the future of the Digital World. In order to stop the fighting, I suggested erasing every Digimon’s fighting instincts from their DigiCore. It would be simple for Yggdrasil, the god who managed the world’s systems, to do such a thing — but it would not accept my proposal.
Afterwards, since deletion alone would be too weak of a punishment for my sins, they banished me from the Kernel. I fell all the way down into the lowest layer, the Cocytus, of the Dark Area, and became a Demon Lord.
Notes:
-The Kernel is somewhat similar to the Empyrean/Throne, Akasha Stratum/Astrolabe, etc, from SMT. It's heaven, the realm of god/gods, a place beyond the world, all information of the entire world (including the past, future, etc) is within here, you can change the entire world from here, etc.
-Yggdrasill's DW and Homeros' DW: Iliad have Kernels. It's possible the other Digital Worlds had their own Kernels as well prior to merging with Yggdrasill's DW (DW: Iliad stayed separate from Yggdrasill's DW apparently). If they did, we don't know what happened to said Kernels. Perhaps they merged with Yggdrasill's Kernel (or something along that), or perhaps the Kernels are a part of the Digital Worlds within the layers now.
In DWX,servers had their own deeper areas (or cores/centers).
Data of the server, etc, is archived in said deeper areas.
This could be a Kernel, but it's hard to say for sure. I believe the servers of EDEN in Cyber Sleuth had cores as well.
-All Kernels should function in similar ways (we know Yggdrasill's DW and Homeros' DW does). They're the core, center, etc, of the Digital World. It's seen as a higher world, all of the data of the Digital World exists within it, if something happens there, it can collapse the Digital World (due to all of the data of the Digital World existing within it). If someone is able to manipulate it, they would be able to change Digital World as well. It would be very interesting if the Digital Worlds within the layers had their own Kernels as well.
Airdramon's S-775 card mentions that it flies "towards the realm of the Gods".
However, I'm not entire sure if it's actually talking about the Kernel, but it's definitely possible.
-The Primordial Realm/Original Realm from Seekers and New Century are most likely the Kernel or at least clearly related to it.
Shakamon is said be close to "Yggdrasill".
This could be related to power, or status, or even a realm close to the Kernel (God's Domain).
Ravel explained some of the functions of the Binary Castle, Infinity Mountain, and Kernel.
"Yes, the data of what happens in the Digital World is accumulated by things like the Memorial Stela and sent to hyperspaces beyond the normal Digital World, such as the Binary Castle, and finally the Kernel where everything is calculated and creates the "Future"."
"There it's explained that the "months and years" of the Digital World, the memories all over the world, are manifested as a stela containing an bottomless abyss of information that peer into overwhelming possibilities
The data of the Memorial Stella is sent to superspaces such as the Binary Castle, a mysterious place whose true form is unknown for most Digimon, but that it's said that the data recorded is processed there.
They are also related to another hyperspace. A hyperspace with various dimensions and floors, as you move up there the closer you get to the center of the world, the place known as Kernel, where all the data of the Digital World is computated."
NOTES:
-The Kernel, Infinity Mountain, Colosseum Zone, and the Binary Castle are likely related to each other.
-It's possible the Kernel is also multi-layered, just like the Digital World, Dark Area, Network, etc. With the very top being the very center of everything (EDIT: ReArise confirmed that the Kernel has a "deepest area", known as the "True Kernel").
-Again, hyperspace in this context is clearly not being used for something that simply allows FTL travel or anything along that, but for higher dimensions. Same with the superspace statement. From what I know, both hyperspace/superspace can mean the same thing as well. Both can imply higher dimensions.
-Infinity Mountain is beyond the Digital World, has dimensionality statements up to 24D, is superior, the very top is the Kernel, a confirmed higher world, etc
SUPER DIMENSIONAL SPACE-TIME
The Super Dimensional space-time is a world that lies on the exterior of space-time (where everyone lives in). It can be used to travel to many (likely all) worlds and space-times. This place is a melting pot of noise data. The Xros Loader has been protecting Wizarmon's data from being corrupted by the noise data. It shares similar properties to Digital Space, which lies between the Zones/sub-dimensions of the Digital World. In the Xros Wars anime should include the manga too, another "space" was shown outside of Digital Space, which lies between Zones sub-dimensions of the Digital World.This is the realm in wich Homeostasis resides https://imgur.com/a/qrKgYkK
and to wich Zeedmilleniumon banishes those hit by his Time Unlimited attack. https://imgur.com/a/adjmr8k
The "Super Dimensional Space-Time" exists beyond all worlds and space-times. It has similar properties to Digital Space, but it isn't the same thing. The Homeostasis watches over all worlds and space-times from here. Digital Space is already outside of the normal flow of space-time, so this place is definitely special.
I've compared this place to the Bleed from DC before, but I'm not sure if that's a good example, especially when we don't know much about this place. In the past, I thought Digital Space was between the worlds and dimensions of a Digital World, such as Yggdrasill's Digital World. And the Super Dimensional Space-Time would be what's between whole Digital Worlds, such as Yggdrasill's Digital World, Homeros' Digital World, etc.
Digital Space
Digital Space is outside of the normal flow of space-time, between zones (dimensions) of the Digital World. The Digital World broke into 108 independent worlds. Each world is considered as a zone. Digital Space has shown to exist in Xros Wars (anime, manga, and game), Tamers, CS, Story games, etc. For example, Omegamon from another world traveled to the Tamers-verse using Digital Space. It's possible that Mephismon's "transcended dimensions" (another translation says "super dimension") statement is referring to Digital Space.
-So Digital Space is basically like the "space between dimensions of the Digital World", although it can seemingly be used to travel to the Human Worlds as well. It's possible it's related to the Network, but I don't know for sure. It's outside of the normal flow of space-time, and traveling through is said to "transcend dimensions".
https://imgur.com/a/j6LoxK1 Another translation says "super dimension". The Super Dimensional Space-Time has similar properties, but it's not the same thing and is beyond it.
There's possibly another space shown outside of Digital Space. It shows the zone in the middle, Digital Space surrounding it, and something else even beyond the Digital Space. This may or not be an actual representation of how it looks, but something is definitely outside Digital Space.
In Linkz, another external dimension beyond the Digital World was shown as well. Similar to Xros Wars, the Digital World shattered, and the pieces of it was shown floating in that external dimension.
Digital Space (デ ジ タ ル 空間): Omegamon has crossed time and space in pursuit of Mephismon! Grabs Jen and Ruki and head to the enemy's base!
An unknown Digimon appears !! Apocalymon that should have disappeared after being defeated by Omegamon in the digital world. However, a new Digimon that inherits his will was about to be born ... T ... Takato's world is in danger !!
Elements of Apocalymon's darkness have transcended dimensions to accomplish an evil evolution!
Elements of Apocalymon's darkness have accomplished an evil evolution in a super-dimension! (another translation - the other translation is the one used though)
WORLD OF THE EATERS
The Eaters exist in a special kind of world, residents of a superior dimension, indeed a Hyper Dimension (超次元), that exists even beyond the Digital World. Being that the Digital World is a world of concepts, the World of Eaters exists beyond such concepts existing for example, without any kind of concept of time or limits, thus they exist in an eternal state of presence simultaneously throughout the past, present and future. The World of Eaters exists in an ultradimension that is theoretically inaccessible and impossible to understand, and only Yggdrasil would be able to at least detect its existence. Eaters not only exist in this world, but also throughout the Hierarchy of Worlds. Their purpose is to collect data through the worlds and send it through the higher dimensions to their own world, this movement is coordinated by Mother Eater who oversees all Eaters through the Hierarchy of Worlds https://imgur.com/a/zfDCATL
The worlds of the same nature as the World of the Eaters are so beyond everything in the cosmology that they are no longer considered as higher dimensional but ultradimensional.
They're higher dimensions that extend beyond an infinite number of worlds (multiverse/multiverses), which are more complex, beyond all concepts of time, beyond our understanding, our imagination, and even our ability to comprehend that we cannot and should not ever be able to access. Even Yggdrasil with omnipotent computing power https://imgur.com/a/87hGoep can only detect but not interact with these worlds https://imgur.com/a/GEUDk8i . The Eaters, who inhabitant one of these higher dimensions with "ultradimensional space", have no concept of limits,time and boundaries https://imgur.com/a/xjx1TjK and they exist in all dimensions https://imgur.com/a/lUV1SMz
Everything is below these higher worlds with "ultradimensional space". Every multiverse, every infinite dimension, every higher dimension (with higher dimensional space), everything. That's why it's called ultradimensional. As stupid as this sounds, the "ultradimensional" stuff that was mentioned in Cyber Sleuth is for something beyond/superior to "higher dimensional". This also implies that conventional "higher dimensional" stuff exists somewhere below it. You could argue that it includes the Digital World, the Digital World's higher layers (Infinity Mountain, Kernel, etc), the Super Dimensional Space-Time, and so on.
And yes, there's a clear separation between Kō jigen (高次元, higher dimensional) and Chō jigen (超次元, ultra dimensional). It's literally for something beyond higher dimensions (as silly as it sounds). It was still called a higher dimension though, but it probably shouldn't have (ultradimension? No idea). The literal translation, as much as it pains me to say, is hyperdimensional. I prefer ultradimensional, and I will stick to it, especially since that was the translation that was used.Ultradimensional is something new in Digimon. Higher dimensions in general aren't new (Heaven/Kernel, Infinity Mountain, Super Dimensional Space-Time, etc). So this is something different than your conventional higher dimensions.According to Suedō, the Eaters higher world (with the ultradimensional space) is only a part of God's (or Gods') creation, which gives you a idea how vast the Digimon's cosmology is.
Note: They're beyond the understanding, imagination, comprehension, etc, of anything below them, not just humans. Only Yggdrasill, with its omnipotent calculability is able to detect them within their dimensions, and barely. And you could make an argument that the reason why Yggdrasill has yet to find any godly-entities is because they're unnoticeable even by Yggdrasill (obviously Yggdrasill's omnipotent calculability isn't truly omnipotent, but it's very powerful).
They have no concept of a capacity limit, nor any concept of time.
Note: The Eaters' exist beyond all concepts of time, not just the conventional time. They also have no concept of boundaries/capacities/limits, and literally all of existence is a meal to them (at least any world below the Eaters' world).
With the Eaters' ultradimensional data transmission and Yggdrasill's omnipotent calculability, the Mother Eater (with Suedō in control) was going to create a new world that would transcend the Digital World, which includes the Infinity Mountain and Kernel (in fact, the fight basically takes place in the Kernel, which is all messed up by the Eaters and eventually completely warped by the Mother Eater). This implies that the new world would be like the world of the Eaters.
Note: Suedō literally starts to say high dimensional, but pauses and instead says "ultradimensional". There's a clear difference between "high dimensional" and "ultradimensional", with the latter being superior. It's for something "beyond" dimensions.
Another translation says hyperdimensional. No matter what translation you get, it separates higher dimensional and ultradimensional / hyperdimensional / Etc.
With Yggdrasil's divine universal calculations ability! Eater’s Higher Dimen (高次)... no Hyper Dimensional (超次元) data transmission functionality!
These higher dimensions (they probably shouldn't even be called higher dimensions though) exist beyond all worlds, and are beyond our capacity to even imagine. The Eaters exist in regions that cannot and must never be accessed.
The Eaters world is only a part of a vast system known as the Great Intent or Works of the Gods (or God).

Ravel made a good blog about the Eaters.( totally optional).
GREAT INTENT
Also known as the "Work of the Gods", it is the name that Suedo gives to the system of existence from which everything we have seen so far is only a "part". It is not yet known who are the divine entities that created all this, in fact it is not yet known if at least such deities do exist.The existence of the Hierarchy of Worlds is something that until now has not been explained very well, at the end of Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, Suedo explains that "infinitely branched space-time" can be a consequence of the actions of God (Or Gods, Suedo is vague in these terms) and that even the World of Eaters would only be a part of the vast system known as Great Intent or Work of the Gods. So far, if the divinities that created the entire World of Worlds exist is still a mystery. The initial calculations of Yggdrasil have not been able to prove if the Gods exist, but other calculations are still occurring then the final result is still open. https://imgur.com/a/oyeu9xj
DIGITAL WORLD TIMELINE
With respect to time, the timeline of the Digital World is constantly flowing, mainly because of the existence of the Chronicle Layer System (クロニクルレイヤーシステム). During the events of Digimon Chronicles, Yggdrasil created the New Digital World where the servers are divided between terminals: Ulud Terminal, Versandi Terminal and Skuld Terminal. Each of these terminals are representations of the Past, Present and Future and in each of them, the events are controlled by the terminals. Specifically, the future is referred to as a result of calculations produced by the Host Computer being manifested in the Present (In relation to the Past) and in the Future (In relation to Present and Past). The events of the Past branch out by creating the events in the Present, and these also branch out to create the events of the Future. For this there are terminals known as Memorial Stela, they are located through the Digital World and aim to collect all the information available through the flow of data around. This information is stored and used to construct calculations, literally endless possibilities of worlds through a "bottomless pit" of data where all of this is manifested. The possibilities are manifested through Ulud, Versandi and Skuld where there are the possibilities of Servers that exist through the Past, Present and Future. Just as there are layers for the Servers through space, the Three Terminals are also arranged in the form of layers being Ulud the lowest layer, Versandi the intermediate and Skuld the highest. https://imgur.com/a/VRJo3Ze
Since thoughts are a direct part of the reality in the DW, the way beings think will direct how the interaction with it will be. Through human thoughts, the history of the DW can change according to the human interpretation of it. In this way the Digimon question their own existence because they are conditioned throughout the history of the world by believing that this questioning given by human common sense is the norm. Because of the importance of interpretation, the collective consciousness determines its own history of the Digital World, if today human beings forget what was once a mythical world and come to treat it as a cyber world, the DW will end up acting like this. But not only from the moment that thought arises, because as thought would define that the Digital World has always been so, the very history of it will change to correspond to that thought. And thus the history of the Digital World is fluid, and varies according to the collective thought of all living beings. If the collective defines that something did not occur, the history will define that this did not occur, but if it defined that it occurred then this will have occurred. And it repeats itself indefinitely throughout history, and there are few beings who question their own history and can know beyond what common sense has defined through history. Unlike the Human World wich has a linear time axis,the Digital World has a warped time axis,and records&history are the same for the Digital World unlike the Human World.If the collective conciousness of humans was to change,the history of this world would change as well. That's because even history is data, that can be changed( everything in the Digital World is data: minds,bodies,souls,space,time,reality,past,present,future wich exist simultaneously,concepts,atoms,molecules,matter,energy etc).
This happened in the Xros Wars manga where it's explained that evolution for Digimon is the equivalent of human spiritual growth and development. Evolution is when a Digimon is given a humans feelings of wanting to become strong to grab ahold of his/her dreams.
When humans fell into dispair and came to think that they cannot change or move forward it caused Digimon to not only loose their abillity to evolve but to think they always were like that(an Ultimate level will think he always had this form even tough he had to evolve from Baby Level other 4 levels to get here.) Digimon also had to abide by the human collective logic. Land bound Digimon could no longer swim even tho the notion of a Digital Monster needing air is all but ridiculous since they don't posses organs).
The Digital World is more than just the world where Digimon live, the commonly known “Digital World” is just one of the many dimensions that exist in the Computer Network also called the “Digital World”, one of the other dimensions is Witchelny, home of Wizarmon. The Digital World has worlds within it that can also be called Digital Worlds.
Another statement with the Digital World being infinite.
The infinite cyberspace that spreads out on the computer network, this is the Digital World! Just like in the real world, there are cities and oceans, where virtual life forms, Digimon, live in peace.
In Digimon Survive, there's a place called the "Master's World", which is quite interesting.
It's a nexus between worlds.
It's close to the border
The further you go into the shrine, the closer you get to the border
until you're finally transported to the Master's World.
The Master's World is the shrine's lowest level (they're multiple levels). It's inside his body, hence why it looks like nerves, etc.
It's been called a void, oblivion, hell, etc.
It's a world of utter darkness, with no up or down. The stillness of death.
The Kenzoku are from here (created here by the Master...likely by the devoured). 1st Class Kenzoku's passive skill is "World Distortion", https://i.imgur.com/ufuzZdT.jpg
3rd Class Kenzoku's passive skill is "World Stagnation". https://i.imgur.com/uz1XSYO.jpg
Later, it changes. 1st Class Kenzoku's passive skill becomes "Source of Distortion", https://i.imgur.com/JdVWd59.jpg 3rd Class Kenzoku's passive skill becomes "Source of Stagnation". https://i.imgur.com/m0j3Scx.jpg These passive skills (distortions, stagnation, etc) are likely related to the Master's World.
When the hands of Kenzoku grabbed someone, it looked as though the person was dragged down into a "bottomless swamp" (into the Master's World).
It's possible this is Habu putting one of his theories to work. Copy/Paste from Ravel.
It's also most likely Habu putting one of his theories to work.
In one of the Hacker's Memory livestreams, Habu explained the idea behind the evolution scenes in Adventure (That according to Konaka is the "canon" framework for all the series), is that the Digimon is downloading the data from something like a data cloud, a pure space of data in which the data of every Digimon, of every visible thing in the world is, in a place that is invisible.Habu asked if this was something like a higher plane of existence and Kakudou answered it's like the invisible background of everything, the part of the DW that isn't seen by Taichi and the others. Habu wondered if that would be something like the Dark Area. So having like that world of void where the Master uses souls to expand the world really fits with Habu's theory from that livestream (I think we can all call Survive as Habu's fanfic).
Digimon Survive also mentions about the power of Miyuki's song having something to do with transcending dimensional space. The power of Miyuki's song can connect whole worlds. IIRC, it has something to do with the "Gods".
In Survive, there's a place called the "Mugen (Mugen = Infinite) Recollection Battle", which is a space-time rift made of memories of parallel worlds. A distorted effect flickers off and on throughout the entire screen on the map. This only appears after you beat the game and you get new ones. Possibly related to all the different endings, choices, fights, etc (maybe the different endings, choices, fights, etc = memories of different parallel worlds or something along that? For example, after you defeat a route and go onto the next, that last playthrough are the "memories", hence being "memories of parallel worlds").
Apparently in Ghost Game (anime),Ultimate-level Digimon aren't to be depicted as just Digimon that evolved past Perfect-level, but are God-like existences that each have their own world/universe.
We see one such world in Episode 66 when the team and BloomLordmon get transported in Gammamon's inner world where we see multiple planets and galaxies.
All those bubbles are universes.
Lost Evolution has been fully translated, which is better than the previous translation that we had. So I'll post some of that here.

Something from the Digimon Museum from Pocket Digimon World about Mugen Mountain.
The name of the file (A photo of Analogman and Mugendramon in the background and Metal Greymon facing the player) is "ムゲン空間の主"
空間 = Kukan (Literally Space, can be vaguely used to refer to other-dimensional areas
主 = Ruler, Master
Being very literal it would be "Ruler of the Mugen (Infinite) Space (Dimension)". Something fun considering it's never named or refered to anywhere else. Maybe the museum history has some information on it.
Some interesting stuff from "DIGITAL MONSTER 25th Anniversary book -Digimon Device & Dot History-" about servers, layers, etc. Credit to Ravel. This is mostly using the v-pets setting, but there's some stuff from the anime setting as well (such as the Holy Stones).

More stuff with the Digital World having other worlds "within" it.
Got the anime Super Encyclopedia scans (The one after Frontier that gathers information from Adventure up to Frontier). The book has some pages about the settings and cosmology (According to it, it describes how the Digital World functions according to the children who went there, as the ones from Adventure up to Frontier).
It's mostly stuff we already knew, although it's funny how indecisive these books are about the Dagomon's sea being or not a part of the Digital World. The anime and a few books went with it not being, but Konaka, Kakudou, and this book seem to go in they being just different spaces/dimensions within the Digital World

解明されていない謎の空間が、 デジタルワールドにもいくつも存在する。どの空間も不気味で居心地の悪いイメージがある。
There are many unexplained mysterious spaces in the Digital World. These spaces have an eerie and uncomfortable image.
Terminals known as Memorial Stela, are located throughout the Digital World, which collects all the information available through the flow of data around. This information is stored and used to construct calculations, infinite possibilities (it mentions "overwhelming" possibilities, but we know they're infinite possibilities) of worlds through a "bottomless abyss" (literally infinite) of data where all of this is manifested. This data will go into the Binary Castle, which is a superspace (I think superspace can also be hyperspace, which was stated for the Infinity Mountain) where the data is processed.
Infinity Mountain, Colosseum Zone, Binary Castle, and Kernel are likely related to each other. Infinite Cauldron might be too. Binary Castle is also a Superspace.
NOTES:
-The Kernel, Infinity Mountain, Colosseum Zone, and the Binary Castle are likely related to each other.
-It's possible the Kernel is also multi-layered, just like the Digital World, Dark Area, Network, etc. With the very top being the very center of everything (EDIT: ReArise confirmed that the Kernel has a "deepest area", known as the "True Kernel").
-Again, hyperspace in this context is clearly not being used for something that simply allows FTL travel or anything along that, but for higher dimensions. Same with the superspace statement. From what I know, both hyperspace/superspace can mean the same thing as well. Both can imply higher dimensions.
Infinity Mountain is beyond the Digital World, has dimensionality statements up to 24D, is superior, the very top is the Kernel, a confirmed higher world, etc.
In the end, what matters is how Digimon uses it.
EDIT/NOTE:
-I noticed sometimes places that are called "Realm of the Gods" (or anything similar) are usually higher dimensions. I think Persona/SMT does this as well. A place where the Gods exist and watch over the worlds below.
