  Ramification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, ramification is a geometric term used for 'branching out', in the way that the square root function, for complex numbers, can be seen to have two branches differing in sign.
Ramification in algebraic number theory means prime numbers factorising into some repeated prime ideal factors.
In that case a quantitative measure of ramification is defined for Galois extensions, basically by asking how far the Galois group moves field elements with respect to the metric.

A "ramification" of this "bundle" of universes would then happen, like in the many worlds hypothesis proposed to explain the wave function collapse in quantum physics.
According to the theory of the ramification of universes bundles, the universes would be in fact already virtually separated before the observation, but this separation would become perceptible only after.
The ramification of universes bundles also permits to explain very simply the principle of formative causality without use of a propagating morphic field.

The same ramification is the formal unifying motif of the painting Young Man and Girl in Spring, although here the ramification has the specific meaning of doubling: indeed, the whole composition is based on a Y-shaped motif.
(According to Schwarz, the branching arcs at the bottom are buttocks, the circular figure represents Mercury in the ampoule, and the ramification of the tree represents a phallus; finally, the path I described would be followed backward, as the desire of re-conjunction of the youths into the primordial androgyne unity).
We can underline the close continuity between the two works observing that the sole definitive detail of the replica is the bust of the girl with her lifted and opened arms: this human ramification is grafted on the ramification of the Network with perfect continuity.
