Taking this from the DC Cosmology Page:
So, currently we acknowledge this, where Dan DiDio says that Earths in DC contain not just the regular universe, but also all alternate timelines of that universe, as well as multiple alternate dimensions. Yet:
So the Orrery of Worlds and the Bleedspace which it encompasses are treated as 2-C structures. Darkseid damaging the Orrery with his fall from the Sphere of the Gods is rated as a 2-C feat right now, and so is Perpetua and the Batman Who Laughs threatening to destroy the Bleed, the space containing the Earths, in their fight.
This in spite of the fact that the 52 universes contained in it each contain what is acknowledged to be an infinite number of timelines, meaning each of them should be 2-A.
So, yeah.
This section will describe universes with a lowercase "u" when talking about individual universes within the Orrery, such as Earth-1 or Earth-2. DC's official stance is that each numbered "Earth" includes the universe itself + alternate timelines of that universe + alternate dimensions
So, currently we acknowledge this, where Dan DiDio says that Earths in DC contain not just the regular universe, but also all alternate timelines of that universe, as well as multiple alternate dimensions. Yet:
The Orrery of Worlds encompasses 52 universes and the Bleed Space between and around them and exists in four dimensions according to Mr. Mxyzptlk which, in Snyder's term, are point, line, depth and time. When Mxy described the dimensionality of the multiverse, he did so almost verbatim in a way that represented a 4-D space-time continuum, meaning the Orrery itself is 2-C. After that, there are other universes outside of those known to the inhabitants of the Orrery and an infinite number of timelines stored in Hypertime, making a 2-A structure.
