By crossing the dimensional threshold of the interface a person or object underwent an instantaneous translation from the ongoing space-time continuum occurring outside the vessel to that pertaining in the separate micro-environment within (or vice versa). This process was known as ''going into the TARDIS'' or ''coming out of the TARDIS''.

Opening the doors while [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor's]] [[Type 40]] was in transit usually had grave consequences ([[DW]]: ''[[Planet of Giants]]'', ''[[Warriors' Gate]]''), but once materialised the [[TARDIS force field]] usually protected the interior even if the doors were opened on a hostile environment. If the doors were opened on a vacuum the interior of the ship would not undergo explosive decompression, for instance.
