The Shunned House 畏避之屋：
but scientific study and reflection had taught us that the known universe of three dimensions embraces the merest fraction of the whole cosmos of substance and energy. In this case an overwhelming preponderance of evidence from numerous authentic sources pointed to the tenacious existence of certain forces of great power and, so far as the human point of view is concerned, exceptional malignancy. To say that we actually believed in vampires or werewolves would be a carelessly inclusive statement. Rather must it be said that we were not prepared to deny the possibility of certain unfamiliar and unclassified modifications of vital force and attenuated matter; existing very infrequently in three-dimensional space because of its more intimate connexion with other spatial units, yet close enough to the boundary of our own to furnish us occasional manifestations which we, for lack of a proper vantage-point, may never hope to understand

然而科学研究与反思使我们认识到，已知的三维宇宙仅构成了整个物质与能量宇宙的渺小部分。大量来自可靠渠道的证据压倒性地表明，存在着某些力量——它们不仅拥有强大能量，而且从人类视角来看，还表现出异常的恶意。若断言我们当真相信吸血鬼或狼人的存在，未免失之轻率。更准确的说法应是：我们无法断然否认某些未被认知、未被归类的生命能量与稀薄物质的异变形态——这些现象因其与其他空间度量尺寸更为紧密的关联而罕见于三维空间；却又与我们的世界边界足够接近，以至于偶尔显现出某些超出我们理解范围的现象，由于缺乏合适的测量点，我们或许永远无法参透其本质

A few more thoughts were exchanged, and I knew that the luminous one and I were being recalled to bondage, though for my brother of light it would be the last time. The sorry planet-shell being well-nigh spent, in less than an hour my fellow would be free to pursue the oppressor along the Milky Way and past the hither stars to the very confines of infinity
三维宇宙无穷不必多说（翻越睡梦之墙）

That all the universes in my view
Form’d but an atom in infinity;
Whose reaches pass the ether-laden realms
Of heat and light, extending to far fields
Where flourish worlds invisible and vague,
Fill’d with strange wisdom and uncanny life,
And yet beyond; to myriad spheres of light,
To spheres of darkness, to abysmal voids
That know the pulses of disorder’d force.
Big with these musings, I survey’d the surge
Of boundless being
在我眼中，
一切宇宙不过构成 无限中的一粒原子
其疆域穿越满载以太的
热耀领域，延伸至远方，
那里滋长着无形而朦胧的世界，
充盈诡异的智慧与奇异的生命，
更远之处——
是无数光，暗之域
感知混沌之力脉涌的深渊虚空
怀着此般冥思，
我凝视着这无边无际的激增之物
The Poe-et’s Nightmare，呼应之后的The Shunned House，也包括 后裔 暗夜呢喃，能否提及宇宙仅仅是一个无穷中的原子，而无穷之外亦无边地延伸

这里提一嘴，之前闹得沸沸扬扬的书信被“正义”扒下，这些人说宇宙嵌套的模式不存在
实际上是以比喻的方式描述宇宙，难道这些人不会觉得自己的言论与后面书信矛盾吗，更别说《畏避之屋》里宇宙就是另一个宇宙之中的微小存在

《畏避之屋》影响了女巫梦，十四行诗，银门等作品中的设定，其中人类处于狭小范围，无法认知高维领域，认为其虚渺空无，这种核心设定在1924便正式出场，而银门则是再次强调了这一点

He had, he said, floated off from a very ordinary series of dream-pictures into a scene whose strangeness was related to nothing he had ever read. It was of this world, and yet not of it—a shadowy geometrical confusion in which could be seen elements of familiar things in most unfamiliar and perturbing combinations. There was a suggestion of queerly disordered pictures superimposed one upon another; an arrangement in which the essentials of time as well as of space seemed dissolved and mixed in the most illogical fashion. In this kaleidoscopic vortex of phantasmal images were occasional snapshots, if one might use the term, of singular clearness but unaccountable heterogeneity

主角与叔叔遇到来自其他世界的存在，做起古怪的噩梦并认识到了高维度，而在梦中理解高维也是后面女巫梦，银门中的关键要素
他声称，自己从一系列寻常梦境画面中飘离，坠入了一个陌生得无可比拟的境地——那光景与他所知所读皆无关联。它属于此世，却又超脱此世：一片朦胧的几何混沌中，熟悉事物的元素以最令人不安的陌生方式组合。那仿佛是层层叠加的错乱画作，时间与空间的本质在此以最悖理的方式溶解与混杂。在这万花筒般变化莫测的幻象漩涡里，偶尔会闪现——若容我借用此词——某些异常清晰却又莫名异质的画面定格

高维超越了我们世界中的逻辑，超脱三维却又与三维有相似的事物（在女巫梦中，吉尔曼来到第四维也发现了周围事物与三维世界的相似之处）只不过，这些事物的排列呈现出混沌的叠加状态，时空本质则是扭曲重组，而在克苏鲁的呼唤中（Theosophists have guessed at the awesome grandeur of the cosmic cycle wherein our world and human race form transient incidents）宇宙随时间进行不断的循环，在诗人噩梦中
All things I knew, but knew with mind alone.
Time’s endless vista spread before my thought
With its vast pageant of unceasing change
And sempiternal strife of force and will;
I saw the ages flow in stately stream
Past rise and fall of universe and life;
I saw the birth of suns and worlds, their death
时间的永恒下，宇宙不断的重生与死亡构成循环

来自尤格斯的真菌
主角用“钥匙”来到了无维度的世界，见证了一切时空的连续性与连接其法则的事物，发现这些闭锁的维度封存着往昔，而后面也知道，流动的时间是维度的侧面罢了
There is in certain ancient things a trace
Of some dim essence—more than form or weight;
A tenuous aether, indeterminate,
Yet linked with all the laws of time and space.
A faint, veiled sign of continuities
That outward eyes can never quite descry;
Of locked dimensions harbouring years gone by,
And out of reach except for hidden keys.
It moves me most when slanting sunbeams glow
On old farm buildings set against a hill,
And paint with life the shapes which linger still
From centuries less a dream than this we know.
In that strange light I feel I am not far
From the fixt mass whose sides the ages are

总之，维度之间存在着绝对的差距，而维数有无穷在女巫梦就有，这里就不放出来了，最次也是ω^ω
宇宙则也有ω^ω规模，维度存在所有的宇宙，因此，这里的结果至少有两层，肯定了Azathoth等早期存在的位格并与后面Yog Sothoth的设定照应

这些极限叠无穷嵌套加后面的永恒循环估计也可以上无限层无限盒子

抱歉，我一想到狗吧那个“唐三”就想笑
