Station Control was a nexus between 417 realities, referred to by locals as the known multiverses. In this context, the term "multiverse" referred to a type of reality which was essentially a universe, not containing multiple realities within itself, but being one of multiple 'verses.

All of these multiverses existed in radically different states, having different rules for their own internal functionings as multiverses. Rather than existing outside the Universe, these multiverses existed within it in a complicated manner which only Rupert Gilhooly could come close to understanding, with there definitionally only being one universe. An imp on Station Control referred to multiverses as "metadimensional subsets".

These included the Infernal Regions, the Elven multiverse, Vehicular Protectorates, Marpie multiverse, and various "Human multiverses" including Bernice Summerfield's home reality. The System was known as a "collapsed multiverse".

Archetypical resonances sometimes passed between these multiverses, such that individuals who were real in some multiverses were fictional in others. The Maze was a structure so archetypical that "versions of it spontaneously occurred in books written the universe over by a certain kind of braindamaged writer who was responsive to the resonances of multiverses other than his own".[1] (PROSE: The Infernal Nexus [+]Loading...["The Infernal Nexus (novel)"])
