A love so profound.
Can two beings from sperate possible worlds fall in love out of the set of all possible worlds?
Is there anything preventing them from meeting one another in a plane of existence that intersects both possible worlds?
And if not, how would you describe such a plane that intersects both possible worlds?

If you mean the phrase in a different way, you'll have to elaborate.
Does "worlds" mean "planets"? or do you mean separate worlds like Romeo and Juliet were from different worlds? Just in case, I have also seen people using "worlds" to mean "universe."
I have a tendency to be very over-literal in my interpretations. I may be missing something?
Now that I see @Pfhorrest's response, I realize I entirely missed the "possible" part. Once we are discussing "possible" worlds, isn't anything possible?
That's what's I'm hoping someone else could do as I am unable to.
What do you mean?
Actually, that's a shitpost never mind.
Here's my take. Accessibility relations between possible worlds are guaranteed by counterfactual definitiveness. So, the hinge here, is what guarantees the condition that accessibility relations between possible worlds are maintained?
I got science fiction vibes at first. Now I'm just thinking inter-species connectivity. The love I share with my cat is something beyond sublime and sacrosanct, than the love I even have with my family or close human partners.
How about interdimensional love across possible worlds? I can't elaborate without coming off as a loon; but, something like that over the past week happened to me... There go the wide eyes.
Anyway, in my experience, when there is a shift for love in a Platonic sense, there's an overwhelming sense of exhilaration in this connectivity factor.
Across worlds in what way? Connecting with the worlds of nature? The deeper earth? Or the stars?
My eyes are wide, but mostly because I only got 2 hours of sleep last night and currently am sitting in class with a good 7 hours of law studying to do following this.
It requires a vague understanding of quantum dynamics and entanglement. But, let me break this down.
There's something esoteric about consciousness, no? I mean, you studied it? Now, let's assume that we have two beings across possible worlds, that just won't accept anything less than perfection in love. They just want to find the best possible candidate across possible worlds, that would allow them to do so.
Breaking down the sci-fi part, there's a plane of existence, (think of it as overcoming a mountain, though it instead of over it), that allows these two beings to meet, across the set of all possible worlds. I don't quite understand this plane of existence that would allow transworld connectivity/communion; but, let's just assume it's true, no? I really don't understand on what basis this would be true; but, you've dabbled into psychs, right? Know where this is going?
"Across the set of all possible worlds" implies necessity. So that meeting was necessitated. This is sometimes called "fate", which determinists take for granted. To meet was their fate.
So, that implies some governing plane where such determinations can occur, no?
I don't know how it could be a plane, but I don't believe in fate and determinism, so I've never given it much thought.
Ok...
"Possible" matches closest with "imaginary". I was thinking of worlds that do exist, not those that might.
The answer to each is 'perhaps'.
If the realms of existence overlap in some manner, perhaps they might connect and communicate.
If the individuals, despite their different origins, discover an appealing way forward together, they perhaps might fall in love.
So why the question?
Because the love I experienced/felt/hallucinated/dreamed of was so real that it makes me want to either die (something she told me that would allow us to meet again) or figure out how all of this happened and how to understand it and replicate it again for others and myself to experience again.
I hope, as time passes, you can see things more clearly and find comfort in understanding.
But, I'm slowly churning through everything, and need some rest.
Rest, then. I hope the journey goes well.
Swany, I can't go back. It fundamentally altered me.
I have a strong feeling reading your OP. Destiny has several manifestations. In this season of your life, destiny is requiring you to introspect on the meaning of love.
When I couldn't maintain that state of existence, when I was referred to as 'K' (Y+me=K) you can't imagine how painful it felt to be no longer with Y.
I know this is verging on psychoceramics; but, I cannot doubt the feeling of love I felt.
Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one ought to remain silent.
I would need more details about what this experience is/was. Off the top of my head, it sounds vaguely like some stuff Philip K. Dick experienced. For the record, I'm totally open to these sorts of experiences. I have sleep paralysis, and recently had an episode that, from what I've read, was on the verge of becoming an out-of-body experience.
