The 16 daedric realms are infinitely big so Oblivion itself, the 'Multiverse' in which these realms are contained, could also be infinite. Aetherius is clearly infinite. So it would be an unlimited space contained by another unlimited space. The Aurbis would then be a "Omniverse", if there is such a word. A Universe containing two Multiverses and one Universe.

But we don't know if Aetherius is, in any way, similiar to Oblivion. What I said before was based off The Monomyth: The Heart of the World, and partially the book Sithis, where it is implied that Anuic things are static and unlimited while Padomaic things are Dynamic and based off limitation. Nirn was supposedly created to be able to end so that Lorkhan could kill off the aspects of Anui-El and return to the void. (though Vehk's Teachings seems to contradict this, implying that Lorkhan's creation of Nirn was to help others to understand the Psijic Endeavor)

Also, the Aurbis itself is a Universe within a Universe, as it exists within the void.

I'd rather believe Vehk's Teachings. I mean, he should know, right? He saw the wheel.

I don't think that anything which is not in the gray maybe/Aurbis can be regarded as something. Not even as void. It's like the border of the Godheads dream. The only things 'existing' there are ultimate order and ultimate chaos. I like to believe that both the Monomyth and Vehk's Teachings are true, in some impossible way.

"Anu and Padhome, stasis and change, both vast realms sitting in the void, they created it. Not vast, infinite, as the void was infinite. Imagine an infinity enclosed by another; you come away with a bubble."
