The Passage Hypothesis
The Passage Hypothesis refers to the idea that there exists a word that forces one into an alternate, if similar, dimension to their own. This proposition is widely accepted among the members of TerrorG(u/ü)m. This word is known to the group. The word consists of two common, short English words made into a one syllable portmanteau: ██████. Any vocal utterances of '██████' is suspected to transition the speaker instantaneously. However, the similarity between the two universes means the speaker may not be aware of the shift until such time inconsistency arises.
The mechanics of this shift are entirely unknown, however. There are many possible interactions that may occur as a result but there is so far no little supporting each explanation. If Raging Thor from dimension A, henceforth known as A!RagingThor, states the word he will transition to dimension B. B!RagingThor will cease to exist within dimension B. This leaves a few unknowns:
- Does dimension A go without any RagingThor?
- If not, does B!RagingThor take A!RagingThor's place?
- Is B!RagingThor pushed into dimension C?
- Is B!RagingThor deleted from all dimensions?
It is feared there will never be answers to these questions. However, there has been times where just one member acts of sorts. This is supports the replacement idea, where the two affected parties swap. Meaning the out of sorts member is simply one from another dimension.
It is also unknown if typing the word causes a shift. Members of TerrorG(u/ü)m are cautious. They refrain from typing, writing or signing the word.

Examples of Inconsistencies
Across TerrorG(u/ü)m's long history there have been many instances of a member getting information wrong or acting out of character. These are known to have been caused by utterances of '██████'. Examples include:
