Alternate dimensions are beyond the reach of any being's presence. Remember Haruhi could have only done things within her own dimension. There is no firm evidence that she can force a slider to come to her dimensions.
However coming back to my previous statement “As long as there are infinite dimensions, there is infinite possibility.” the most likely thing would be that another Haruhi somehow influenced slider-tan to make her way into the dimension we know and love? Of course it could be another "organization" if you will which sent slider-tan to research this Haruhi; perhaps this dimension is the most favourable when compared to others. There is an infinite amount of possibilities. However we can surely rule out that Haruhi of this dimension had any influence in the coming of Slider-tan. Except perhaps being a favourable specimen. Yuki could sync with Alter-Yukis but the fact that there would be infitite Yukis; she nor any other alien could possibly comprehend or store all that information. Even the powers of a godlike being has its limits. Let's say that any scyning would be bad for Yuki and might cause another "The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi" simply because the other Yukis want that dimension and perhaps every other dimension changed. So Scyn = Bad.

Technically speaking an alternate dimension is as separated (maybe not literally, but let's bring it down to an Euclidian plane for simplicity sake ) from us as past from future, being time another dimension itself. The entity above Yuki is supposedly an entity that has transcended all dimensions restriction, so time and all dimensions should be equally traversable from his/her/it POV (given that Yuki herself kind of came in contact with her alternate self in the said novel events, which took place in an alternate dimension themselves. AND the Yuki there asked for synchronization, even if this was later denied.).
Then again people will start acussing me of killing catgirls by talking about pseudo science so I'd better stop |

..but I digress. With the other factions having already stated what their viewing of Haruhi is, I'm sorta curious what the slider's view on it all will be.

Haruhi wanted to see other girls from Kyons past maybe? Makes me wonder if at the end of the next novel if there will be a new member to the SOS Brigrade (The slider) or if they will remain the same 5. |

Regarding Haruhi's ability to affect alternate dimensions. Even if Haruhi's powers don't extend that far, we know based on the A and B dimensions (again assuming we're correct that they are indeed dimensions and not time lines or anything else) that Haruhi can exist in more than one with the same powers, thus even if Haruhi A isn't able to force a slider into her world, Haruhi B may be able to allow a slider access to A, or vice versa. Spoiler for vol 9:

If you've seen or heard of the show Sliders, where the name came from, you'd know that sliders are simply people that can travel to other dimensions. They don't have Incredible Cosmic Powers like Haruhi. Also, regarding earlier comments about Alternate Yuki and the "Yukiverse", that was not an alternate dimension. Rather, what Yuki did was overwrite the timeline and replace events with those that she created. The situation in Vol.4 and that of Vol.9 are completely different, as the Yukiverse was the only version of that universe at that time, whereas the Alpha and Betaverses of Vol.9 seem to be the result of a split. |

@Protoman Hmm, if the entity is indeed able to transcend into every dimension that would mean that it would have to be constant in every dimension, therefore it could be entirely possible that every interface like Yuki would also be constant in every dimension or simply is able to be constant. Though alternate dimensions and time could be place in the same group. I would be believe that alternate dimension would be different in the fact that alternate dimensions cna have alternate timelines while alternate timelines do not have alternate dimensions but rather is one itself. But the concept of being able to transcend into differnet dimensions, it would put up some questions about the entity and other things.
1. Did the entity exist in one dimension and then evolved until it could expand? Or rather did it exist in every dimension and then synced? 2. Does the Canopy Domain also Transcend into alternate dimensions too? 3. Are interfaces like Yuki capable of moving through dimensions? Or are they also in capable of that as they cannot travel in time? 4. Does the entity have any power in the lines of alternating alternate dimensions?

Well, since the events of Volume 9 have opened up the "many worlds" interpretation of dimensional/timeline existence, I imagine that of the infinite worlds out there, a miniscule percentage of them (also likely infinite) have a "Haruhi" that has the same abilities ours has (or close enough), and I imagine one of those is where our Slider-tan is from. On that world, their "Haruhi" was able to create sliders, while on ours, our Haruhi either was not able to, or we just haven't met them yet (they're probably in different universes at the moment). I don't see there being a slider "organization", due mostly to the inherent logistical nightmare that would create, and simply because I don't get that feel from it. Also, since I believe that Slider-tan is an alternate version of Imouto-chan, I'm starting to get the feeling that her universe broke off from our own at the event 4 years ago, and in addition to creating sliders (or possibly because of it) time there now flows faster, explaining why Slider-tan is older than our Imouto-chan (I've largely discounted the "Imouto born first" possibility at this point, to make the dimensional map a little simpler, but it's certainly still possible). Slider-tan cannot come from alpha or beta, because those two quite obviously break off at the time of the phone call, and alpha!Kyon (and by extension beta!Kyon) has no idea who she is even after meeting her, although she of course knows him. The only other way this would be possible would be with time travel (maybe she's sent back to the past to "terminate" the beta timeline) but that's a different discussion, as it really precludes her being a slider per se, and frankly breaks the "rules" of the universe, as time travelers are unable to affect history (unless she comes from the future of the alpha timeline, but I digress). As for the "unable to exist outside of Haruhi-influenced universes" I certainly see that as possible. That would be similar to the Time Traveler issue, since they can't go back to before Haruhi as we know her existed. Applying that idea to the Time Travelers would blow my "Tsuruya's device" theory out of the water though (left there by pre-Haruhi time travelers). As for Yuki contacting an alternate self, I get from her (lack of) reaction to Slider-tan that she may not even be aware of the existence of sliders. Although given some time I'm willing to bet she could "attune" herself to Slider-tan's wavelength and communicate with her Yuki. @KeitaroNagato: Watch Batman Begins (Lucius Fox is played by Morgan Freeman) and make sure you've read SHnY Volume 7, and you'll get Kinny's reference.

hm...interesting question on the 'scientific' nature of sliding. From what we've seen so far, Mikuru and Yuki's abilities are 'scientific' in that they obey and follow natural physical laws (the presumption is that their abilities are the result of an advanced understanding of them). If slider-tan's abilities were 'scientific', then, there's no way she could be locked out or into certain dimensions, because that would imply that some dimensions are 'scientifically' different somehow.
ah, basically, I mean that if you accept Itsuki's 'non-scientific' view that Haruhi created the world, then no worlds exist which are not created by Haruhi. Conversely, if you believe that the world does not require Haruhi to exist, then worlds without Haruhi will still operate by the same underlying principles and thus our present Haruhi world has no special properties which would limit dimension-hopping abilities. I'm a bit hesitant to embrace the 'many worlds' hypothesis in the context of Haruhi, because basically, that would make any sort of story and motivation on the part of the slider pointless. There's no meaning to the focus on two specific dimensions because of the infinite number of other dimensions which differ from them in only minute ways. I also think this was the basis for pastprime's point about slider abilities being similar to Haruhi's? In contrast to Haruhi shaping the world into her ideal form, a slider would simply choose a world which was ideal to them and stay there. Basically, I think that kind of slider would be way too overpowered and any kind of conflict would be meaningless (kinda like a story about a Haruhi who was aware of her powers). So the primary question to me is, how will Tanigawa make every dimension meaningful? What will justify and isolate them from a narrative perspective? One possibility is that only dimensions which are created by Haruhi exist: ones in the past she has discarded, the current one, and ones in the future she will create. This is kind of a limited and unattractive idea, though. I can't really think of anything else, so I'm curious as to any other ideas. Finally, on the slider-tan is Kyon's sister! theory...although there isn't much meaning in me making a fuss about what other people believe, and although the idea that slider-tan is Kyon's sister isn't particularly offensive to me, I'm going to offer my opinion. I don't buy it, mainly because thus far the story's 'supernatural' elements have been orchestrated by Haruhi's desires. A mascot, a mysterious transfer student. Aliens, time travellers, espers. What meaning is there, why would Haruhi be interested in, making the slider Kyon's sister? So although I won't speak out against speculation along those lines, frankly the idea is as dubious to me as 'Mikuru is Kyon's sister' was and my lack of derision comes mainly from the fact that some respectable, articulate Haruhi fans (quigonkenny, kaisos erranon) seem to be promoting it.

On the Data Entity and Canopy Domain and alternate realities, I think that there would likely be realities, like Haruhi's, where both existed, realities where one or the other existed, and realities where neither existed. After all, in the Yukiverse there was no data Entity. And I doubt if, even if there are Yuki's in alternate realities, that they could sinchronize with each other. And I am not sure that the "A" and "B" timelines represent alternate realities or different versions of the same reality like all the repeats in "Endless Eight" where only one of them will end up being real. And, while there may be Haruhi's in alternate realities that have powers, I don't see it as a requirement. Like in Noein where there were infinite Haruka's, but only one was the Dragon Torque.

Everyone is taking the sliders in isolation though. Mikuro Big should know about the sliders if they are indeed sliders. There is no reason she could not take them to different times just like she has done Kyon. Anything to maintain her timeline. If the sliders world also has time travelers then they could very well work in pairs. They pick out the time and reality that they want to travel to, then one takes care of the time travel part and the other the trip to the alternate reality. |

But thr thing we have to ask is what are the limits of a slider if any. Are sliders restricted to sliding to another dimension at the same timeline, or can they do a combination of sliding and going to the past/future?
Remember Imouto-chan being XXXX theories never have enough evidence. Just because Slider-tan reminds Kyon of his sister only means that Slider-tan has a childish voice and is probably playful lie Imouto-chan. You shouldn't take everything Kyon said out of what he means, there often nothing hidden. Perhaps sometimes the odd foreshadowing but usually nothing else.

She could be imouto's counterpart from the other dimension, but it's certainly not the imouto we know. Heck, I don't even think that's how it'll turn out - especially since she was sitting right in front of him at the interview and he didn't recognize her.

I haven't reed much about peoples thoughts about Nagato's short story (Untitled) in Volume 8.
A friend of mine pointed out to me that the 3rd part could possibly be a prediction of the future, definitely a foreshadow of something that will happen in the future, probably not in volume 10 but a lot further into the future. I didn't realize that the story Nagato wrote was aforeshadow of the future the 1st time reading it. This is my speculation and interpretation of Untitled Part 3, the first two parts I reckon more have to do with her past and her origin. Quote:
Quote:
Since the Coffin is in the center of the Club Room (Being the Literature Club) It may represent the death of the central person of the literature club, since there is only 1 member of the literature club, it probably represents Nagato's death (Yes I'm shocked too, I don't want my favourite character to die as much as the next person :-( ) The man above the coffin could be one of two people, Kyon or Koizumi. IT also says he's smiling, MAYBE it's refering to Kozumi but why is he above the coffin? Quote:
Makes me wonder what kind of costume she's wearing, it's definitely white. Quote:
So assuming that this death were to occur, it would occur During or before the cultural festival. When does the cultural festival occur in the story? Autumn/Fall? I'm not sure which month though... Quote:
Quote:
Assuming that the person blocking her is Kyon. Quote:
Does she feel she is no longer of use and she feels she should be erased? Well that the best I can do in interpreting it currently, there are probably other people out there who could do a more indepth interpretation or even an entirely different interpretation. So that's all I can extract from this story. Nagato may Die (more or less) during or before the cultural festival. Obviously Kyon will not let that happen and will prevent it or even bring her back from the dead. So assuming that this will occur during Autumn and we are currently in Spring for the current Arc in Volume 9 & 10. Maybe this will occur somewhere around volume 14 onwards, Nagato may get a 2nd Arc to herself, It could also possibly be a Koizumi Arc becuase he did promise Kyon that. Quote:
That's all I got, this is all speculation though lol there's only so much you can get out of a paragraph. So what do you guys think??? |
