This article presents nine critical challenges to the Infinite-Dimensional Multiverse Model (IDM) in a question‑and‑answer format, clarifying the model’s ontological status, its compatibility with established physics, and future research directions. Question 1 (compatibility with GR): GR is a special case of IDM – a low‑energy limit when extra dimensions and neighbouring universes are neglected. Question 2 (half‑spaces vs. discrete branes): No contradiction; these are different levels of description (different choice of coarse‑graining G). Question 3 (manifestation and fine‑tuning): Constants of our Universe are determined by a dynamic attractor – equilibrium of infinite weak interactions with neighbouring universes. Question 4 (G and determinism): Ontological uncertainty (consequence of infinite‑dimensionality) differs from epistemic uncertainty (removable by changing G). Question 5 (operationalisation of SQ): Automation of the Semantic Quantum is a future task; this does not invalidate the unit itself. Question 6 (boundaries of informaciology): Information does not directly affect physical processes; only subjects of higher forms of matter (life, civilisation) do. Question 7 (HII as norm or pathology): Hierarchical Information Immunity is the norm for civilisation; pathology may arise in sick or ageing societies. Question 8 (calibration of HII metrics): The integral index S₇₈₈ is heuristic and requires empirical calibration. Question 9 (IDC and publication ethics): The Information‑Distorting Circuit is a weapon; its regulation should follow principles applied to any weapon (licensing, restricted access). The answers demonstrate the internal consistency of the IDM, its compatibility with GR, and outline a concrete programme for further theoretical and empirical work.
