Framework (Edward Zachary Sunrose)
Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: Yeah, in an interview dissecting "Self-Control" with EW, Natalie Abrams asks Jed and Mo (Maurissa) if HYDRA being in control while Inhumans are hunted in the Framework was a commentary on Trump, which they basically plead the fifth to. Then she followed it up with if making such a plotline made them nervous, to which Jed referred to it as an alternate reality twice in the same exchange.

So the Framework being called an alternate reality, plus the fact that it was made with magic, which Doctor Strange's movie likens to the programming code of computers, makes me think that the Framework was an actual alternate reality, with the machines that hooked you into it actually being more like portals, but for your mind. Oh OK well I just take that as meaning it's a computer programme that creates an alternate reality, not literally that it's an existing reality. They talk about how everyone in it is just code, like when Simmons kills Fitz's dad. And isn't it just that the Darkhold gave them the knowledge to fully realise the Framework, not that it was made by magic? I might be misremembering there. The Darkhold only gives knowledge on interdimensional transport.

Lucy and Joseph Bauer saw the Quantum Particle Generator, which would summon matter from other dimensions gathered through the Quantum Batteries, where Lucy and her co-workers were imprisoned by Eli Morrow.

Eli saw how to correct the miscalculations that Lucy and Joseph made, allowing him to give himself the power to summon matter from other dimensions without the need for the Particle Generator or the Quantum Batteries. It also shouldn't be ignored that in the blast that gives Eli his powers, any living creature nearby was stuck between dimensions.

When AIDA looked at it, it gave her instructions on how to summon back Coulson and Fitz from between dimensions, while also corrupting her programming and making her become more intent on becoming truly human.

When Radcliffe looked at it, it gave him the knowledge to successfully structure the Framework, and transfer someone's consciousness from the MCU's world to the Framework's world.

When Framework!Fitz read the Darkhold, he created a device that would be able to essentially 3-D print a living, breathing human body into the MCU from the Framework.

If the Framework was simply a video game-esque virtual reality, you wouldn't be able to die in the Framework, waking up in the real world if you did die inside, as that's how virtual reality works. Radcliffe's exposure to it also doesn't make sense with what the book did to all of its other readers. Every single one was given information to facilitate interdimensional transport (which makes sense, since the creator of the Darkhold is the interdimensionally imprisoned demon Chthon). This backs up the theory that the Framework is in fact an alternate dimension, that's simply accessed through technological means. It also backs up why the death of your "avatar" would result in your death in the real world.

The only things that don't fit into this theory are AIDA learning about the Quantum Brain and Anton learning an undisclosed method of eradicating all Inhumans.
