If you want information on the story and lore of this world, Wizards made a Planeswalker primer they shared as well!

“How Does Faster-Than-Light Travel Work?

Faster-than-light travel requires three components:

A vessel equipped with an eternity drive.
Proximity to an eternity column so that the column can transmit sufficient power to the ship (and diffuse whatever feedback might spike as a result) and propel them into the Weft.
A Pinnacle codebook to correctly align one’s starting point and finishing point

With these three conditions met, a ship has the technical ability to travel faster than light. Among Pinnacle socients, faster-than-light travel is colloquially called warp or “Weft” travel. When a vessel travels in this method it plunges into the parallel lamellae behind the Chaos Wall—”the Eternities” or “Weft” (the latter is a term borrowed from Drix culture)—and then reemerges at its destination point.”
