To quote the MIT work on the Hypershere: 'Considering that the largest Archimedean solid, the hyper truncated icosahedron, has over 14,000 faces, this object alone could contain within it an entire menagerie of never-seen before mathematical beasties.'

What if each building block of matter was in fact a hyper truncated icosahedron with prisms on each surface that projected their matter within into infinite realities that are contained with a fifth dimension?

The notion of free will is at once identifiable as a priori knowledge, as all infinite possibilities of existence co-exist in alternate realities.

Thus traditional notions of philosophical debate on the nature of free will are redundant as they have only been considered in three dimensional reality.

Has there been any work on the philosophical implications of infinite realities existing side-by-side in terms of free will, ethics and explanation of it through the Trivium?

You might initially think with infinite realities that reality is indetermined and we have free will. However, the essential conundrum of free will is that seeing as only one action can be ever be taken at any one moment and once taken the opportunity for choice is gone, do we ever have more than one option? For instance, in the millisecond in between choosing whether to proceed with one action versus another, the entire situation has changed. The original action choice may not even exist anymore. From this point of view, reality is determined.

But a five dimensional reality, of infinite co-existing realities unbound by time, allows indeterminism and indeed libertarianism.

Final answer:

The concept of multiple universes (the multiverse) is a hypothesis that suggests our universe is one of countless universes with different physical laws.

Some universes may collapse or expand rapidly while others evolve into separate and unique universes.

The existence of a multiverse allows for the possibility of different realities co-existing in alternate dimensions beyond our awareness.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some scientists speculate that our universe is but one of countless universes, each with a different set of physical laws-an idea that is sometimes referred to as the multiverse.

Some of those universes might be stillborn, collapsing before any structure forms. Others may expand so quickly that they remain essentially featureless with no stars and galaxies. In other words, there may be a much larger multiverse that contains our own universe and many others.

This multiverse (existing perhaps in more dimensions that we can become aware of) is infinite and eternal; it generates many, many inflating regions, each of which evolves into a separate universe, which may be completely unlike any of the other separate universes.

Our universe is then the way it is because it is the only way it could be and have humans like ourselves in it to discover its properties and ask such questions.
