Okay fellow Whovians! Here is the TYPE 40 TARDIS MARK I, Default Time Travel Capsule 2.0! Revised Edition!
THE TARDIS DIMENSIONAL REALM
On the TARDIS POSTER I have posted here, I have taken time to REVAMP the poster's central dimensional Torus design, as the initial TARDIS Dimensional diagram was a bit line heavy, and the internal pedestrian infrastructure needed some modifications.
You see the design of the internal Middle of the TARDIS dimension is the core of the ship, and a map as seen in Journey to the centre of the TARDIS. With that design in place, the Dimension dams were represented as squiggle circles around each level of the TARDIS. However in my design I did initially, the Dimension Dams should actually mimic the actual Torus field itself. In the model of the TARDIS physics, each Dimension Dam that encompasses each level of the ship, it should be a swirling mass of clouds with lightning striking off and rolling in different directions. each direction of the dimension dams swirling clouds is clockwise, and counter clockwise ALTERNATING per each level.
So the new dimensional diagram poster of the TARDIS what I have done to convey properly the Dimension Dams (or the full technical term would be Dimensional Field Barriers) the new poster will reflect the actual nature of those dimension dams, and marry up with the map of Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS.
Now, for those fans of the Peter Mckinstry TARDIS dimension design (the one with the time scepter) I have taken Mckinstry's work, and married it to the Journey Episode map. I have also looked into the physics behind the TARDIS Dimension. I have been studying physics now for the past 13 years.
The TARDIS is not a Tesseract, in the way most people seem to think it is. It's not a space that moves you to another space.. The internal physics of the TARDIS are based on Time, Warp Matrix Engineering (see STNG "remember Me" episode) and the energy of the frozen in time Eye of harmony. The TARDIS coral is it's brain, which is both a living and organic component of the ship, but also contains the TARDIS consciousness which is a form of living energy matrix, which is housed in the orbs as seen in Journey to the centre of the TARDIS.
While the exterior dimension dams are partially 3-4th dimensional, it exists in a 5th dimensional space. The space inside the torus creates a living 3D-4th dimensional world in which we 3rd dimensional creatures can inhabit.
In the Torus space is time, which space expands to accommodate time. Without time, there is no space, just a 5th dimensional husk.. or shell. The TARDIS coral Computer is the mind that can manipulate the matter projectors, block math creation, and time travel paradoxs and changes can only be unaffected by an organic mind. The solution was to create a Coral Brain system, which is much stronger then crystals, and more robust in it's organic properties.
When you see the new "REFINED" poster coming soon, the new look of the interior dimension dams, coupled with the Journey map rendered in a flipped white on blue aesthetic conveys the look and feel of the Journey to the centre of the TARDIS map even more, and gives a good 3D perspective of the dimension dams As a Torus of clouds, over the previous design of just rendering those dams in squiggly circles around the pedestrian infrastructure.
In the movie Interstellar, which had a great amount of actual physics, the idea of the Tesseract is entertained. within the Tesseract the (they) who created it had to make a 4th dimensional space inside the Tesseract for the character Cooper to interact with his Daughter's bedroom back in time. The bedroom covered from his daughter's first use of it, until her end of use with it. which gave Cooper the ability to send a message in Morse code via gravity and the manipulation of Gravity back through time.
In the same vein, a TARDIS dimension dams are it's Tesseract or 5th Dimensional structure, which must have a 4th dimensional space within in order for the TARDIS interior to be accessible to normal humanoid and 3RD Dimensional beings could inhabit. Time is piped in from the Time Vortex, which sync's the TARDIS interior with normal space on the outside. the access point into the dimension is part particle fusion, and frequency or a signature which can open the portal (not a wormhole) into the extra dimensional space or micro reality within.
The spheres you see glowing in the Episode, Journey to the centre of the TARDIS is actually, the housing for those 5th dimensional-4th Dimensional (3 dimensions plus time) coral brain segments is the tree scene from that episode. it is known technically as the Protyon nodes, while the whole room (I.E. module) is known as the Arch-Recon or Architectural Reconfiguration system. A suitable analogy would be the control room is where the ship is controlled from, while the main control is called the TARDIS console.
A TARDIS is delineated by it's Type which refers to it's level of upgrades in technology (I.E. engines, and relay stations and other tech relative to it's main engine, dimensional stabilisers and such. While the Mark # is delineated by it's Transpower Drive system.. which encompasses both the Vorpal Core, warp drive engines (VWORP Drive) and demat circuit, and relative components associated with the TARDIS main console.
The Centre of the TARDIS has to be the main engine. It's dimension is created by that main engine. Time is controlled and brought into the dimension to sync it to normal space-time via it's link to the time vortex. It is also necessary for the interior 3-4th Dimensional space to exist. Transport within the vortex is done through the console room. It's movement of the outer shell is all that is required.. that portion of the TARDIS transportation and propulsion will be explained in great detail making the science and physics behind how the ship can move in time-space, and the vortex make sense. Stay tuned to the TARDIS Master Schematics and General Plans index for more details on that process later.
