Listen again, Randolph Carter of Arkham: you who have been so terrifyingly bewildered at the destruction of your ego, you are but one of the sections, 【even as any one ellipse is but one of an infinity of sections of a cone】.

“In your world you have a space form which is a square. And your geometers have explained that this form is but the result of cutting a cube with a plane. And that which you call a circle is but the result of passing a plane through a sphere. So that every flat，length- breadth figure which you know is but the projection of a three dimensional form. And there you have stopped.
“Yet even as a circle is a section of a sphere，so likewise is a sphere a section of a higher form whereof your senses can have no vision. And thus your world with its three dimensional men and gods is but the cross section of this super-space which you have entered. A projection，and a shadow，no more，of Reality. And this shadow you have，all save yourself，considered reality，and the substance you have named illusion.
“Look，you，Carter，and see that your universe is but the projection of a higher-dimensioned cosmos.
“And consider，in your own limited terms，the form you call a cone. Your geometers cut it with a plane. The section is a circle. They cut it with a plane that passes at a different angle，and the section is an ellipse. And again，it is a parabola whose branches sweep out through the uttermost limits of your space. And yet，it is the same cone，and there has been no change. You have but cut it at a different angle. And all，if you will，simultaneously. You have at the end no more，no less than at the beginning; and thus the ellipses，and parabolae，and hyperbolae，are illusions you call change，forgetting that their parent form is an unalterable spatial figure.
“Your world is but a section of super-space,” repeated the Space Presence, as the enlightenment sank into Carter. “And time and change are but the illusions caused in that phantom existence of yours by the shifting angle of the plane which cuts the world of reality.”
“Listen again, Randolph Carter of Arkham: you who have been so terrifyingly bewildered at the destruction of your ego, you are but one of the sections, even

对应《穿越银匙之门》的段落：
它们告诉他，空间中的每个形状不过只是更高维度在与这个空间相交产生的一个面而已——那就像是立方体上的一个方面，球体上的一段圆弧。然而，就算三维世界里的立方体与球体也是如此从对应的四维物体上裁切下来的部分而已——人类只有通过猜想和睡梦才能窥见那样的世界；但是即便这些四维的形状也只是五维形状上的一部分，如此等等，一直上溯到那令人晕眩而又无法触及的上位，那作为一切事物原型的无限。人类与人类之神所属的世界仅仅只是一个渺小事物上一个微不足道的方面而已——只是他通过第一道门而抵达的微小统一体，那个乌姆尔•亚特•塔维尔指挥着上古者们入梦的地方，的一个三维截面而已。可人们却视之为真实，并将所有认为它有着更高维度的原型的想法斥为虚幻，这恰恰就站在了真实的反面。那些我们称之为物质和真实的东西不过是一些投影与幻觉，那些我们称之为投影和幻觉的东西才是真正的物质与真实。

切断一个圆锥后得到的形状会因为剪切的角度不同而发生变化——根据不同的剪切角度可能得到圆形、椭圆、抛物线或者一条双曲线，然而圆锥本身并没有变化——所以，一个固定不变同时也无穷无尽的真实所产生的某些局部面貌也会随着视角的不同而发生相应的变化。

那些涌动的思潮继续解释着，各种各样的维度中的所有生物和他们的后代，以及每一个生命成长的全部阶段，仅仅只是在维度之外的空间中一个原型存在所投下的倒影而已。每一个生长于较低维度的生物——儿子、父亲、祖父等——和每一个个体生命成长的不同阶段——婴儿、孩童、少年、成人——都只是同一个原型存在所有的永恒的无限阶段中的一个阶段；这一切都是源于观察原型时的自我意识不同，从而从不同的角度进行切割，所产生的不同的截面而已。

1无限的含金量：3.5分优越一般作品的无限

2差距：3.5分明确的提及了差距且多次提出主要是分散加之没有明确每一维度无限差距

3层级：3.5分明确提及无限层级

4嵌套结构：4分差距与层级明确嵌套

5直观性：4分一句话指明

评价18.5分比较稳的无限盒子作品主要是差距

《Through the Gates of the Silver Key》的主要问题确实是单本没有明确维度差具体多少，但联立还是能得出无限差距
