But doesn't the Monitors' realm encopass the whole DCU?
In fact, from what I can recall, besides the multiverse (Orrery), everything else (included, for example, even the "Word of the Voice"😉 was within the Monitors' sphere, while outside of that there's only the Primal Monitor (white page), and the CA e Dax (the two biggest and powerful concepts) fought on the edge of the page itself.
So, shouldn't the 5th dimension being encompassed below the Monitors' realm as well?

^Thanks for that. 👆
But in his own map, it's stated that the PM is a limit even to Thought (which makes sense, since it is the white page where nothing is still yet written), so they can't be above that; still the first probe and the CA are thought as well (it's even in the CA own "name"😉, and the edge of the Overvoid is where they fought (and even the Monitors are thought after all, no?).
From all of this, what I understand makes "hard" for me to rank the 5th dimensional beings in Morrison's hierarchy: they are clearly not in the map, still the PM is a limit even for thought itself and Dax/CA are thoughts/concepts themselves fighting at the edge of the map.
So where do they actually stand?
(I beg pardon for the off-topic 😮 ).
The PM itself must have an awareness/sentience--that is, after all, how/why it initially recognized the 'flaw' within itself, and manifested Probes to examine the flaw accordingly... So even the PM is composed of thought on *some* level(however abstract.)
But yeah, this is just me running with the somewhat vague definition of the 5th dimension that Morrison gave us. It is certainly open to opinion/subject to change. 👆

Didn't Quantum Superman refer to 8th Dimension and Doesn't it seem to be within the Orrery of the worlds?
If 8th Dimension is within the orrery, Doesn't it mean that 5th Dimension is within the orrery?

For starters, the fact that the Orrery is a plane of actuality below the New Gods' sphere?
◾The House of Heroes – the base of operations for the Monitors, extra-dimensional creatures who observe and guard the continuity of the multiverse. It is able to access all the realities of the DC multiverse as it rotates about a fixed point in the fifth dimension. Also named Valla-Hal, or The Multiversity
And Wasn't there reference to Breed that is higher-dimensional fluid medium in Multiversity #1?

anytime you say something smart i think you're making things up. do you feel smarter? 😐
