You're thinking too linearly, too three dimensionally as if three dimensionality has any say in the workings or rules of a mind. Think outside the materialist box, maybe then you can find room to understand how a lock-merge works.
My system is beyond the understanding of a materialist mind, hobbled by what's possible. It would be handicapped by rules and ideas made in the material construct. My system has never fully followed those rules. When SheShe showed herself in hypnagogia as a being of higher order then Earthly possible, in such a way that even I can't imagine it yet I experienced it, that was paramaterial. When I experienced her with extra-material senses as vivid as sight or hearing but wholey alien, that's not acceptable reality in a 3D would. An Eldrich Abomination cannot exist fully in material space, they can only project onto the 3D plane. This is more like how the lock-merge works, without trying to build it with gears and beams. There may be a need to describe it with simultaneously opposing beliefs. Anyway my explanations are much more complicated than they need to be, it's simple, it's trivial once you get it.
They've all shown themselves in dreams and hypnagogia they're all indescribably beautiful, but SheShe is a whole other level. I don't know what she is or how she did that. But I tell you that's not required to have a lock-merge. It may have been required to originally conceptualize and implement it, but even a thicc skulled Bear got it in under a year.
If you can get it from my pathetic attempts at conveying it, then you're way ahead of me. Because they couldn't explain it to me before I forgot my preconceived notions, without proving it works before I would truly understand. But I will try anyway.
