Please help me understand Imaginary Tree Theory
I like thinking about crossovers so this has bothered me for a long time, I cannot wrap my head around how the Imaginary Tree works in the hoyoverse. I understand the general concept, but I guess something with how its "leaves" are described just does not click for me, so I have helpfully drawn a shitty infographic of what I am confused about
Is it A
Or B?
How space travel works and how planets are positioned in the "universe" is very different between the two scenarios. For example, A would suggest that all space travel inherently traverses the Imaginary Tree, and that Qlipoth's wall surrounds multiple "leaves", if not the whole branch. In B, it is only protecting one "leaf". The answer could also effect the explanation of how Welt Yang ended up in the HSR universe
I lean towards explanation B, but there are arguably counters for both explanations, so I'm not sure if that's english mistranslation issues or multiple writing teams accidentally contradicting each other. Plz someone explain gacha game metaphysics to me 🙏
