Most believe we exist in a universe. I imagine existence would be much different in a multiverse?
Universe - by definition, there can only be one universe.
Multiverse - a hypothetical set of multiple possible universes?
God is the existing thing no existing thing is greater. - not St. Anselm, but similar

i stumbled on this a couple years later...
Monoverse: a reality where time has a beginning and is linear and physical constants are the same throughout space. By definition, there is only one monoverse.
Polyverse: a reality where time is linear but space may be discontinuous, with different physical constants in different regions. These different regions "bubble" off into separate monoverses. The number of bubbles may be finite or countably infinite.
Cycloverse: a reality were time is linear but space keeps collapsing and exploding again with new physical constants in each cycle. There is a countably infinite number of such cycles.
Omniverse: a reality where time branches into separate timelines at every quantum possibility. David Deutsch writes about this option in The Fabric of Reality. There is an uncountable infinity of timelines in an omniverse.
