One account suggested that this universe was not synonymous with [[the Doctor's universe]] as a whole; this particular Web of Time only allowed one possible history, and the outside anti-time was connected to billions of alternative realities, some of which had other Doctors who were just as [[Prime|primary]] as the positive-time Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'') Other accounts, however, showed it to indeed be synonymous with the Doctor's universe as a whole.

Before being left to die by the [[Seventh Doctor]] inside the [[Hand of All]], [[Nobody No-One]] told to the [[Seventh Doctor]] that the original Hand of All created by [[All]] was a fractal construct of universal proportions, a "synthetic reality made entirely of words" containing its own miniature Hands of All. He asked the Doctor how he could really know for sure that Nobody hadn't trapped him inside the true Hand of All decades prior, in a universe made "only of words and sounds", with him being unable to realise he was no longer physical. The Doctor confessed he couldn't know for sure, but seemed to largely dismiss the possibility, eventually telling him "You're a Word Lord. You'll say ''anything''" before abandoning him to his fate.

The period during which this universe was defined by its positive-time nature was connected to several interlinked sequences in the lives of the [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]], [[Sixth Doctor|Sixth]], [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh]], and [[Eighth Doctor]]s, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Apocalypse Element (audio story)|The Apocalypse Element]]'', ''[[The Time of the Daleks (audio story)|The Time of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Neverland (audio story)|Neverland]]'', ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'', et al.) as well as some factions in their vicinities. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Invasion of the Daleks (audio story)|Invasion of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'', et al.) These sequences were further deeply intertwined with others across the Doctor's lives ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[100 (audio anthology)|100]]'', ''[[Prisoners of Fate (audio story)|Prisoners of Fate]]'', ''[[Companion Piece (audio story)|Companion Piece]]'', et al.) and the wider universe.
