Fourth wall

"Don't even break it."

- Daniel Floyd

The fourth wall is the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage in a traditional three-walled theatre. In a theatre, the fourth wall is the one through which the audience sees the action of the play. The idea of the fourth wall was made famous by philosopher and critic Denis Diderot. It was used more in the 19th century. The fourth wall extended the idea of an imaginary boundary between any fictional work and its audience. If an actor speaks directly to the audience, does something to the audience, or even simply notices the audience, it is known as "breaking the fourth wall".

In the series
In the series, it is depicted as a literal neon blue brick wall with a 4 on it, floating in the realm of Metaspace. Its purpose is to separate reality from fiction, as well as making sure that stories progress logically. The wall looks brand new, but is actually billions of years old, as old as the universe.

Should someone break the 4th wall, colossal catastrophes would occur. Not only would Reality and Fiction blur together, stories would no longer make any sense and random, chaotic events would occur. These "chaotic events" are displayed as characters swapping personalities, memes, random stuff and, occasionally, Dumb Characters popping out of nowhere, random background music playing (mostly 2204355), things getting warped, stuff turning into other stuff, and the world glitching, not to mention items and characters occasionally appearing as wireframes for a split second. This only happens when the 4th wall is severely broken. Thankfully, the wall can regenerate itself. This version of the wall was inspired by the one from the CP Fanon wiki.

4th wall breaks
There have been some 4th wall breaks throughout the series.
