【 Phenomenon 0 〈〈 〔 Phenomenon 1 〕 〉〉 Phenomenon 2 】
Overview
No-Clipping is the act of something surpassing it's believed dimensional plane of it's reality, reaching a dimension beyond comprehension. Even if it's already occupied this separate dimension, the No-Clipped object has moved through a dimension beyond their own. A commonly used example to describe this phenomenon is considering a 2D ball which can only travel on 2 axes, now imagine it being moved within the 3D dimension. Other 2D objects would see this object being mixed within close objects, generating an almost static-like effect on walls or floors.
If another object or person interacts with this No-Clipping object, it can move along the 3D dimensional axes with it. With the example, the 2D ball already would have been in the 3rd dimension but has been moved through it. During this time of movement, it's believed that reality attempts to self-correct itself, which tends to bring No-Clipped objects or people into The Complex or other 3rd dimensional locations that are present within the 4th dimension.
These No-Clippings are extremely rare within our own reality, as it's environment and atomic structures are considerably stable compared to other locations wandering the 4th dimension. However, it seems that certain areas within our reality are substantially less stable than the rest of it. These areas consist of abandoned buildings, transitory spaces, and locations that haven't been visited traveled in long periods of time.
There are three different types of **No-Clipping* currently known, which are called "Tunneling"; "Squeezing" and "Tripping".
Tunneling
Tunneling causes objects or people to travel through the 4th dimension at rapid rates, being able to travel large distance through 3rd dimensional locations. Tunneling is the primary access point into The Complex and can be used to travel between distant Levels.
However, this comes with an extreme risk once No-Clipping, with the potential chance of you becoming merged with the wall or floor you're No-Clipping through increasing as you continue to use Tunneling as your primary traveling route. Over time, your atoms will destabilize due to the amount of time you've spent traveling through the 4th dimension, which your body wasn't made to handle.
Squeezing
Squeezing is known to cause objects and people to become distorted and altered, likely because of it's relation to the 4th dimension. This types of No-Clipping will affect any object or person who interacts with it, so it's best to remain away from it. This type of No-Clipping can be identified through it's tearing affect, instead of the object becoming static-like it'll stretch and bend the appearance of it's surfaces into strange shapes.
Tripping
Tripping occurs when the place you're currently resided in intentionally makes you No-Clip and it's targeted destination isn't altered. It's unknown how this event occurs, but it's seen in specific Levels of The Complex with their exit locations being consistent and unchanging. Tripping can also act as a forceful exit, with the current theories stating that you're forcefully removed from the environment as the environment detected itself as already unstable, and adding a foreign stable mass would only worsen the effects.
