Rogue waves form in deep ocean waters when the confluence of currents happens in such a way as to create highly improbable build-ups of multiple forces upon each other, creating a temporary anomaly. These occur in deep water, often in locations where multiple currents intersect each other, such the meeting of the Southern, Indian, and Atlantic oceans directly south of the African continent. Of interest here is the event even rarer than the famed rogue waves, the rogue hole. A similar event to the rogue wave where the anomalous wave manifests as a trough deeper by magnitudes than its surrounding waves, as opposed to a peak taller by magnitudes. Even more rare than the already highly anomalous rogue wave - the wikipedia page listing recorded incidences of rogue waves not having a single case - it’s been attested to in sea lore perhaps more for its mythic resonance than its literal veracity, a “hole in the ocean” providing potent fuel, ever stoked by its rare truth.
Melting permafrost has once again awakened the long-dormant chaos of the geology of Siberia, with enormous craters opening up at seemingly no cause, though various theories mainly revolving around underground gas or ice stores have been put forth in literature on the subject. Such craters have existed as long as the region has, with some particularly notable ones being given ominous names in local mythology, called various forms of portals to the underworld by their anomalous nature.
The most basic dimensional jumping technique is to use a mirror sheltered off from the rest of the world and enter through it. The mirror in this way becomes like the hole cut by the pencil in every scientist’s favourite demonstration of what a wormhole is. While oversimplifying, the point is made clear by the nature of the wormhole, when considered against oneself - the individual on the experienced-as-flat plateau of spacetime has to enter through a hole, descending down in order to travel along to whatever desired conclusion.
The case study of Siberia shows the formation of holes, the formation of portals in an important fashion. The Siberian crater forms as the once-chaotic topography is returned to its previous extremes of motion. Holes form where solid bodies, oftentimes planes or plateaus of something, ie, a territory or physical body, is thrust into motion and folds and creases and stretches are made, until the chaos of motion eventually causes a rift, tearing a space of emptiness within the solid body in order to break open the once-solid. Countless stories of disappearances happen in these spaces of motion - the ocean, blizzards, sandstorms, all of which are dark not as absent darkness as night or outer space, but present darkness, as complete chaos in which countless holes can be made and formed.
Siberia warms up again and more holes are formed, the solid plane of the territory being rift open to reveal nothing at all - at least within Siberia itself. The point of a hole is never the object itself, the object being an object of nothing torn in what should be solid, but what lies beyond, the destination of whatever happened to be tunneled into.
