Pointsdoors

Pointsdoors is a term that refers to a hypothetical or conceptual entity, often discussed in speculative contexts or fictional narratives. It does not represent a real-world object or phenomenon. The concept typically involves a portal or gateway that allows instantaneous travel or passage between two or more distinct locations. These locations can be vastly different, ranging from different rooms in a building to entirely separate dimensions or universes.

The idea behind pointsdoors often plays on the concept of teleportation or wormholes. The "points" in pointsdoors suggest specific, predetermined locations that are connected, rather than a freely navigable space. This implies that one can only travel between established pointsdoor endpoints. The mechanism by which pointsdoors function is usually left to the imagination of the creator or audience, as it is a fictional construct.

In literature, film, and games, pointsdoors serve as plot devices to facilitate rapid movement, introduce unexpected encounters, or create intrigue. They can be magical in nature, technologically created, or part of the natural fabric of a fantastical world. The term itself is not widely recognized in scientific or academic discourse, but it captures a common imaginative trope in speculative fiction. The simplicity of the name suggests a direct and functional purpose: a door that connects points.
