Click here for the actual article
I'm using google docs because it's easy. I don't have to update a post, I just have to type in the google doc. Furthermore, I don't have do use BBcode, I can just use formatting tools similar to MS word.

So what is this article? It's an unfinished outline of what Dimensional gates must do in order to work. You may be wondering what the difference is between how something works and this.
Well the answer is easy. This article simply defines that in order for a dimensional gate to be a dimension gate, it has to do X, Y and Z. It's up to authors how they want dimensional gates to work. All this article would do if accepted as canon would be to provide a framework that ensures some degree of consistency between stories.

I believe that this is a far better approach then trying to figure out how Dimension gates work and then saying "This is how they work, use these." That approach is quite restrictive to writers. They can't really come up with their own look and feel for dimensional gates since they've already been precisely defined. I believe they shouldn't be, since in a world where they existed there would be countless ways for dimensional gates to work, magical and technology.

So in conclusion, I really hope I don't disappoint anyone with this; I think it works pretty well. So please, give your comments, opinions and critiques.

For those who can't use google docs:

AJ, post it in the actual forum. I can no longer access google docs because my password no longer works for some reason.

very interesting, this does allow a bit of breathing room for a writer. ive never been a scientifically or mathematically acclimated person, but this does sound good

I agree. It should go on the forum.

Done. Apparently the forum editor mode recognises google docs formatting, barely.

I personally don't mind google docs, do you even need an account to consult it?
Very nice work by the way AJ, dunno how I missed this...

Depends on the setup of the author, how sharing is implemented. I use Google Docs to provide extensive commission info so that artists don't have to register on my site to get it. Then again though, my domain is integrated through Google Apps, so it is very easy for me to share/use them.
