Fun stuff. :)

I first encountered Hammerspace as "the place where Transformers' weapons go when they transform"...which we then defined as "the hand of the kid playing with them", which was a bit meta-contextual. Plus Highlander, of course. ("Where did she *get* that sword from!? She's in a bikini!")

Dimensional Stress sounds a bit like Paradox from Mage: The Ascension, though there it's the collective disbelief of the unconscious of the world's Sleepers. In my game (and maybe in the main game, I can't recall), there's a concept of delayed Paradox--where if you do something ridiculous in private, you're okay until the impossibility is revealed to Sleepers, at which point the paradox catches up with you all at once.

And have you been playing with programming language theory again? Cause that's what it sounds like when you go into abstracting out the functionality of a weapon, and having Sofa grab a mixin from AssaultCannon. ;) Or worse yet, the FiringBullets continuity, which gets invoked with the Sofa operator...
