Nature of the TARDIS visual Aides!!

is desired for that particular time phase.

The Time Vector Generator (TVG) is an 18 inch long black rod with gold and white caps. It connects the Exo-Plasmic Shell with the interior Micro- Universe.  In a Mark I TARDIS the Generator can be found behind one of the roundels in the secondary control room. In Mark IV console the dimensional control can be found on the underside of the console. In a Type 97 the Time Vector Generator installed in the central column, giving it a very different appearance from the column found on a Mark I.  A malfunctioning Time Vector Generator can allow time warp fields to leak out of the console, possibly displacing the operator forward in time.  Removal of the Time Vector Generator collapses a TARDIS's interior, making it the same size on the inside as the outside. Such a removal would cut all power to the Dynamorphic Generators.

One of the Hearts of a TARDIS (like Time Lords a TARDIS has two) is a massive energy collector that is a mathematically constructed copy of the Prime Eye of Harmony on Gallifrey. In modern times it is often referred to as an Eye of Harmony (which can cause some confusion). Because of this some Time Lords refer to it as Point Zero.  The Eye's iron-like Containment Sphere is located beneath the Cloister Room. While the Prime Eye's Containment Sphere is 10 km in diameter the TARDIS's sphere only about the size of a house.

Artron Energy created by the Prime Eye of Harmony on Gallifrey is broadcast into the Space-

Time Vortex. This energy travels though the Vortex's Time Contours. Attached to a TARDIS's

Containment Sphere is the Receptor Antenna, which collects artron energy using chronon

transduction.  The TARDIS's Heart then emits the beams of Artron Energy to power a TARDIS. The Eye is equipped with a Flux Comparator to ensure a steady flow of energy. The Eye also serves to slowly vent the potential energy stored from dematerialization. This Hawking Radiation is leaked from the Eye's event horizon.

This room, sometimes known as Point Zero, is the nexus point where all of the TARDIS’s

internal dimensions meet and are balanced. The closer one gets to the Heart of the TARDIS, the

stronger the dimensional "pressure" gets. This "pressure" can have minor effects on the nervous

system.  The Eye is protected from unauthorized tampering by a retina print lock that only allows Time Lords to open the Eye. This lock can only be changed by altering the Security Matrix on

Gallifrey.

Since the Heart of the TARDIS is a copy of the Eye of Harmony, it can also serve as an

temporary independent power source if the Prime Eye of Harmony is out of range (see Noosphere Parameters) or has been disabled. However the fuel supply of this Copy Eye is not unlimited.   A fully fueled TARDIS can travel at least 200 trillion years without completely exhausting the fuel supply.  But without the Prime Eye of Harmony a TARDIS would eventually have to refuel itself. When nessecary the Eye's Receptor Antenna is also capable of collecting temporal energy from temporal instabilities, fault-lines running between dimensions, scars on reality, or rifts in time and space that found throughout this Universe. Time Rifts make the best fuel source. Such a rift occurs when two or more dimensions are pressed against each other creating a rift or a scar like an earthquake fault line. The TARDIS can drain off the energy created by the competing forces. Depending on the current energy level of the rift it can take a few minutes to a few days for the TARDIS to power up completely. The rift energy collected by the copy Eye is processed into Artron Energy to make it usable by the Transpower System.  Should power from the TARDIS's Heart be unavailable, the TARDIS will have to rely on the

Ancillary Power Station for emergency energy.

Some notes about the Pedestrian Infastructure...

Every TARDIS comes with a default tangential formation which determines the location and

floor plan of its power and storage rooms. Despite the changes outlined above, the interior is

always organized according to a specific geometry, which can be followed if you understand the

pattern. The Time Sceptre is the central structure which contains the Interstitial Antenna, Control

Rooms, Switch Room, Power Rooms, Dynamorphic Generators, Life Support, Basic Crew

Facilities, Artron Mainframe, Transpower System, and the Cloister room. All other storage rooms are located in pods around the outer surface of the spherical Endo Shell.

The Spatial Distribution Circuits use the Architectural Configuration Program to control the interior space allocation with in the Pedestrian Infrastructure. Since a TARDIS's rooms and corridors are made from mathematical building blocks, its architecture can be remolded. The operator can exert direct control of the interior architecture, designing things as he sees fit. The

Protyon Core's matter generation technology is used to generate custom designed modules (aka Storage Rooms) and upgrade modules which are then linked (via spacetime bridges called Dimensional Junctures) to the Core Service Module. Using these Matter Control Projectors that surround the Core Service Module, the Dimensional Stabilizers can control any add-on modules.

The Power and Storage Rooms of a TARDIS are accessed with service tunnels (aka corridors),

galleries, walkways, stairways, escalators, and lifts. Using Dimensional Junctures the rooms

don't even have to be connected in any logical or mappable fashion. Multiple doorways can lead

to the same room, and a single doorway can lead to two different places depending on which way

you walk through it. Some Time Lords frown on these sorts of configurations and believe that a

properly stabilized Pedestrian Infrastructure should be able to be easily mapped in three dimensions.  Virtually all of the artronic, communications, and power linkages in a TARDIS pass through Dimensional Junctures to get wherever they need to be.

Temporal Locks are another way to customize the architecture. They can be used to separate part of the TARDIS interior, such as a Storage Room. Temporal Locks can even be used to connect

that room to Normal Space via a Real World Interface. Once set up, a Temporal Lock is activated or deactivated by pressing the three green light-up buttons, found inside the room in question.

The interior can also be reconfigured to trap hostile entities in dead end corridors. Using this Architectural Configuration Program the operator can lock or unlock any door in a

TARDIS interior from the console (there is a white flash around the frame when a door locks or

unlocks). Pass keys for the locks consist of a series of mental images that the TARDIS reads

telepathically. And example might be: Crimson 11 delight “smell of dust after rain.’

It is even possible to set up a temporal bubble around a particular room, effectively trapping everything within the room inside an endless time loop. Under certain dangerous situations the TARDIS will put the inside of the control room into a time loop to protect the crew within a temporal bubble.

While it is possible to vary the total interior volume of a TARDIS, a standard TARDIS has a million rooms and at least 12 levels. The total volume of rooms and corridors of a complete Type 40 TARDIS has been described as being about the size of a small town. It's also been described at being at least twice the size of San Francisco's Chinatown at the beginning of the 21st century. A fully guided tour of a Type 40 TARDIS could take a couple of years.

Being four dimensional beings TARDISes are even able alter the architecture to accommodate new passengers before the ship's Time Lord knows there will be a new passenger. Under these and other circumstances the TARDIS will perform an automatic architectural reconfiguration. This can extend to rearranging and creating new living rooms. And some renegade units will create rooms the operator will need centuries in advance of when they are needed.

Some notes on the TARDIS Endo-Shell

A TARDIS's interior is composed of a complex web of bio-mathematics and exitonics with a

finite multi-dimensional mass, which usually totals about 68 thousand metric tons. The size can

be altered using the dimension scale control on the console. While a TARDIS's minimum interior

volume is about the size of an atom, its maximum volume is about one trillion cubic kilometers.

The interior of a TARDIS is incapable of holding an object that is several miles across without

extensive block-transfer modifications. In such a state one could walk for 10,000 years with only

a few hours of rest a day and never reach the end. The great size of a TARDIS interior is also

rumored to be linked to the vast depths and capabilities of a Time Lord's mind.

Over time a TARDIS grows, acquiring additional polychoral facets. When a TARDIS acquires extra internal dimensions its acronym changes from Time and Relative Dimension in Space to Time and Relative Dimensions in Space.
