I've been working a bit more on my wonderlands, at least, on the one's I can control. Because of the way I started them out, they are now all 100 foot Cubes stored in a line in my head. The inside of the cube tends to be bigger than the outside, and you can't see out once inside, which has made it a bit awkward for both me and my tulpae to move between. Each time, We've had to imagine yourself in another place (Teleport), which is unintuitive... Except for Not-Sarah. Because she doesn't take no shit from my stupid physics.
Here is the solution:
This is a Linking Book, from the game series Myst. If you haven't played Myst, you are missing out. They are puzzle games, but pull from concepts of all types. I once spent 3 months legitimately confused on what to do next... only to come back, read me (extensive) notes and figure it out instantly. I love these games so much I occasionally replay Riven (Myst 2) in my head from memory... it was that good.

Back to the idea. When you open a linking book, there is a panel which shows an overview of where the book links to. By pressing a hand to the page, you are brought to that world. Assuming you bring another book with you, you can move back out and use this to move around the various worlds of the Game.
Making a book takes me about 10 minutes, so it is nice that I started making them so early, before my Wonderland expands any more. Everyone will have one at their side, each set to return them from where ever they are to their Relto Age, their personal Wonderland. From their, they can access a small library to go to the common Wonderlands (I will also call them Ages), and each wonderland will have cross connections placed around it to get to others. I'm going to try to keep a two connection max, although I might have to make a hub world at some point.
Also, there will be a Large Linking Book in the main library that will link to the real world. My tulpa will be using that book to appear, and we will use that to leave.
I can't wait to finish the network and start warping around!
