B5 A Few Definitions

In common usage, a dimension (Latin, "measured out") is a parameter or measurement required to define the characteristics of an object: i.e. length, width, and height or size and shape. interdimensional

Dimensions - The fundamental measurables of a unit system in physics: those which are defined through operational definitions. All other measurable quantities in physics are defined through mathematical relations to the fundamental quantities. dimensions1

Also known as lokas, these are a multitude of worlds, each operating on a different vibrational frequency, within the created universes. dimensions2

Distinct event sites, infinite in number and defined by the particular number of planes of consciousness or spiritual Light and Time that they contain. Eg, the fourth dimension is marked by a non-sequential and instantaneous time frame that loops past, present and future together. dimensions3

Space and time. All media events (and indeed all social events) must take place and take time. Media times and media spaces can be very varied. A small sample of times: real-time, instantaneous, asynchronous, recorded. A small sample of media spaces: national networks, cyberspace, global, local. dimensions4

A part of the word Valen means power. Webster's 1 : the degree of combining power of an element as shown by the number of atomic weights of a univalent element (as hydrogen) with which the atomic weight of the element will combine or for which it can be substituted or with which it can be compared. 2 a : relative capacity to unite, react, or interact (as with antigens or a biological substrate) b : the degree of attractiveness an individual, activity, or object possesses as a behavioral goal).

Sinclair of the present bioengineered himself to become Minbari of the past. The essence of Valen is the atomic integration of matter and spirit which allows him to be both Valen and Sinclair, both Earthling and Minbari.
