I have an Active Worlds -- and related universes -- project I'm working
on, but I'm stumped on one part of the name. What would you call all of the
universes, based on the Active Worlds software, as a whole. I mean, it
sounds pretty lame and uncreative to just call them "the Universes." It
needs something with more kick. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Sorry, I'm not ready to let anyone know just what the project is, at
this point. It's still just in the planning stages. I'm sure most of you
wouldn't do this, but if I gave away my idea too early, someone might grab
it, put up a cheap rendition of my idea, and then lessen the appreciation of
my work.
Anyway, thanks in advance for your ideas and info.

Hmm...Where'd you dig that outa eep?

Feb 19, 2001, 1:25am

Actually eep a group of related universes are called a "Multiverse" so for
AW it would be the "Active Worlds Multiverse".

Thought they were collectively named Uniservers. I do like Eep's idea
though. ;-)

The dictionary; "omni-" means "all". http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=omni

There is a GROUP of something and then there is ALL of something; hence multiverse vs omniverse--I like the latter.

The general concensus seems to be toward omniverse, so omniverse it
shall be. Thanks for the input -- especially you, eep. Now just gimme a
few weeks, and I'll let you know what this omniverse stuff'll be all about.

Again, numerical limits; "omniverse" is ALL universes. In case you couldn't tell, I was being silly about the "megaverse" bit...

All universes, not easy to reach this target, maybe start with
Polyverse?

btw. - why must it be ...verse?

Building, Town, World, (did AW forget something here?), Galaxy, Universe
- no parts of words repeated in the next enclosing stage, why not
something different?

Bubbles for example (would refer an old simple model of the universes
embedded in the whateveritscalled) - ok, that does not really sound
great, more like a bubblebath or soda.

Biospheres - at least better than bubbles - would refer all inhabited
places (humans or not)

Uh, the original question was what to call multiple UNIVERSES, Ananas.
