Worlds
Realms of existence
Worlds can refer to distinct realms or domains, often with unique physical, cultural, or conceptual characteristics.
In science fiction, worlds may be planets or alternate dimensions, each with its own laws of physics or societies.
In gaming, worlds are often self-contained levels or environments, such as the Mushroom Kingdom in Super Mario.
Historically, “worlds” has been used to describe spheres of influence or existence, such as the Old World (Europe) and New World (Americas).
In literature, worlds can symbolize contrasting states of being, as in the world of the living versus the world of the dead.
