Multiversal Residents: Gravity Falls, Dimension 46'\
Rick Sanchez isn't just the overarching antagonist of his own show, but many more too!
The Multiversal Residents Theory tries to connect numerous fandoms to the Central Finite Curve, the exclusive multiverse that the show Rick & Morty takes place in.
Most know, or at least it’s heavily implied, that Rick & Morty and Gravity Falls are connected. This theory is not proving they are connected, but rather that Gravity Falls also takes place within the Central Finite Curve.
So, come read how Gravity Falls and our favorite supernatural mystery-solving pair of twins are on this side of the Curve!
Note: The terms "universe" and "dimension" are interchangeable, these mean the same thing!
The Curve
First, for those who are unfamiliar with the Central Finite Curve:
“Do you know what the Central Finite Curve is? They build a wall around infinity. They separated all the infinite universes from all the infinite universes where [Rick] is the smartest man in the universe. Every version of us has spent every version of all of our lives in one infinite crib built around an infinite fucking baby.”
(Evil Morty, Rickmurai Jack)
To reiterate, the Curve is a shield that segregates the parts of the multiverse where Rick Sanchez is the smartest being—or dominant life form—from the rest of the multiverse where he either isn’t the smartest or doesn’t exist at all.
The Curve was built by the Council of Ricks and the main Rick the show follows, Rick Sanchez of Earth C-137, using advanced portal technology that bars all users of interdimensional portal travel from traveling outside of the Curve.
This perpetuates the idea for Mortys and other life forms that no matter where they go Rick Sanchez will always be on top of the food chain.
Ricks seem pretty antagonistic to want to stay the dominant life form no matter what, right?
Portal Technology
No one is able to leave or enter the Curve...or so it's thought. This brings us to portal technology, how does it work?
In Rick & Morty there are three prominent portal types:
Interspacial portals, blue or purple, which only allow travel within the same dimension the portal is situated in, and must be set up beforehand at the target location.
(Rick & Morty "The Rickchurian Mortydate")
Interdimensional portals, the signature green that all Ricks use. These portals are able to travel anywhere within the Curve. It does not need to be set up beforehand at a target location, but can be paired to already set interdimensional portals. Has limited uses, as the portal guns run on a fuel called Portal Fluid that Rick Prime and C-137 invented. Made by Ricks for Ricks!
(Rick & Morty "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind")
And extradimensional portals, these come in many shapes and colors. This type is important, as it not only allows the user to travel interdimensionally but also outside of the Curve as they please. Evil Morty's extradimensional portals are yellow, he made the technology for them himself on his quest to leave the Curve. Congrats!
(Rick & Morty "Rickmurai Jack")
Aside from artificial portals, there are also naturally occurring portals called wormholes scattered around the multiverse.
(Rick & Morty "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy")
Now we know the basics of Rick & Morty portal technology. Why does it matter to the theory? This is where Gravity Falls comes in!
Gravity Falls has its own portal, the Universe Portal. It was built by Stanford Pines and his partner McGucket to investigate another dimension.
Unfortunately, Ford was receiving help from one Bill Cipher, who was manipulating Ford into building the portal to merge their universe with his horrific universe.
Ford tried shutting down the portal after learning of this, and called his estranged twin brother Stanley to help hide one of the portal keys. But they began to fight. Ford got sucked into the Universe Portal due to this, and was lost in the multiverse for 30 years.
Stan spends the majority of Gravity Falls trying to find the other portal keys, Ford's journals, to bring him back.
That brings us to Gravity Falls' episode Society of the Blind Eye's credit sequence.
Stan drops a pen, mug, and notepad into the Universe Portal. Stan also has the Universe Portal searching for Ford's coordinates across the multiverse at this time.
These items appear in Rick & Morty episode Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind coming out of an interdimensional portal C-137 placed prior to this clip, in the Doopidoo Dimension.
The Doopidoo Dimension is within the Curve, since interdimensional portals were used to enter and exit it. The Universe Portal paired with an interdimensional portal in the Doopidoo Dimension whilst searching for Ford in the multiverse. So, both portals are within the Curve.
Funnily, the Universe Portal's more well known name is the Interdimensional Portal!
This means Dimension 46'\, the show Gravity Falls, is on this side of the Curve.
Pretty straightforward.
But aren't all interdimensionally limited portals the signature green that Rick uses? Yes! This is why the Universe Portal isn't an interdimensional portal, despite it's more popular name, but an extradimensional one. As we know, extradimensional portals can take any shape and color.
Extradimensional portals can travel interdimensionally too. As our pal Evil Morty demonstrates in the episode Unmortricken, when he portals from outside the Curve to C-137 and Morty Prime who are still within it.
Extradimensional or interdimensional, why does it matter? This is an important distinction for later evidence and theories, and I will go further on this topic next time.
We've established Dimension 46'\ is on this side of the Curve and that the Universe Portal is extradimensional.
What else is there to talk about, isn't the theory over? Gravity Falls is within the Curve!
But, Dimension 46'\ isn't the only dimension Gravity Falls features.
A multiversal door opens!
The Universe Portal was built by Ford and McGucket to reach and investigate the Nightmare Realm, home of Bill Cipher, also known as Dimension O.
Or as I like to call it, Dimension Outside of the Curve.
In the next post I will talk all about Dimension Outside of the Curve and what it means for the Multiversal Residents Theory!
Would you believe me if I told you that Rick Sanchez isn't only the antagonist of his own series, but many more too?
The Central Finite Curve Connected Multiverse, it's not just Rick and Morty living it up here. Sounds preposterous, doesn't it? Well, in my house Easter Eggs aren't just fun things to find in the background, but are actually treasures hiding a larger narrative.
References, Easter Eggs, some storytelling to fill the holes, and you get a beautifully well pieced together puzzle. I call my work the Multiversal Residents theory, because there are more residents in this Multiverse than we think.
Let me start the ball by saying this; Gravity Falls takes place in the Central Finite Curve.
