			''It should be noted here that when using this system, one cannot travel to the future. As the future of a given timeline is not set, the gate has no way to determine exactly which potential branch of the timeline should be targeted. The link between a person and their time of origin is their own '''Temporal Anchor''', which would normally be used to ensure a person returns to the present after visiting the past within their own timeline. Without an anchor to a future point, the system is unable to determine which branch of the given timeline can be targeted. If an attempt is made, the wormhole loops back onto itself with a somewhat random effect. The wormhole will usually jump to the nearest gate to where it is being targeted but without temporal offset but can occasionally loop completely back onto itself and collapse altogether.''

			== Intra-Domain Travel ==
			Traveling within our own subspace domain follows similar rules to previously state, with the Domain Address being null. Since time within our own domain all moves at a unified rate, the Temporal Coordinates would have no offset. To specify an alternate branch of our own timeline one would thus specify the Continua, Discontinua, and Anticontinua. The full address would be {∅, (∅, λ, δ, α), (r, θ, φ)} leaving a 6 value address, simply written has two ordered triples; ({λ, δ, α), (r, θ, φ)}. As with other addresses any Janus Address entered as an ordered sextuple would be expanded out this way.

Janus Coordinates were devised by the [[Janus Project]] for use in defining how to direct the wormhole of the [[Janus Gate]], or any other wormhole, to a specific reality. They consist of a set of 9 numbers in 3 ordered triples in the format of:

(x1, y1, z1) by (x2, y2, z2) by (x3, y3, z3)

Reach triple forms a locus which controls the direction, shape, and distance through subspace the wormhole will travel. The three loci together direct a wormhole to a specific region of space-time within a parallel reality. Each triple is composed of two values of change from the central point of the plane inside the gate itself while the third is a measure of subspace depth.

Values ''x'' and ''y'' are measured in multiples of the gate diameter which remains consistent between gates of different sizes while the third number is a measure of subspace distortion in 1,000 cochranes.

By focusing the generation of a wormhole using three loci in subspace it is possible to control the way the wormhole opens and how deep into subspace it goes. Once opened for a particular coordinate it cannot be moved without shutting down the wormhole and starting again. It is possible to use minute changes in the triples to control where within a given reality a wormhole opens but this is difficult. Since a each reality runs parallel to the ''prime reality'' time flows in the same direction and using the same set of coordinates will roughly sync to an equivalent amount of time passing in the destination reality.

There are differences as to the rate at which time flows for each reality relative to another, which is not accounted for his this version of the coordinate system. If there is an dilation or contraction of the flow of time at the destination relative to the origin the wormhole loci will allow a smooth transition but outside of the wormhole the object will be fully integrated into the time-frame at the destination.
