In modern parlance, the planes would be more akin to the Internet: co-existing infinite spaces addressable/reachable via the correct planar-address; thus sufficiently changing your belief changes which Outer plane you are currently on. Most find this difficult to do so take the much easier route of using the known Astral/Etheral/Sigil access points (ie: using the public bookmark menu list in-lieu of directly typing/believing in the desired planer-address)This also hints asto why the numerous lesser demi-planes/etc are so more difficult to find: their lack of popularity means they simply are not on the public menu list yet, so their "planar-url" must literally be stumbled over individually to become known/accessible. Presumably one could travel directly to/from a specific Bag of Holding, Portable Hole, or any other extra-dimensional space IF you knew its exact planar-address.Regarding the change, I expect it reflects how long it takes you to alter your belief sufficiently to switch planes. For most, its a prolonged journey of reflection (either afoot or via one of the Rivers) until they gradually realize they're no longer on the plane they were and have arrived elsewhere. Others simply concentrate strongly enough upon the desired belief/mind-set to effectively "type in" the desired planar-address and abruptly shift there. Likewise, EVERY hex/square in every plane is referenced by a specific planar-address. Teleportation occurs simply by over-writing your existing address for the desired location's address. Not that any one in-game knows this of course which is why the spell relies upon the user's ability to clearly focus upon their destination (so the Server may best-guess the desire location's address; much like a "I feel lucky Google search")</blockquote>
