The commoners thread: Discussing Ultima's "On the Many, Many Incoherences of the Tiering System"

I think Ultima should include everything he's implemented part from 0 being beyond the hierarchy nor that it should be Divine Simplicity as a ground basis. I actually like his idea of R>F a lot better than treating it as a dimensional jump.
 
Why not accept both ideas, use monad for a valid way to get to tier 0, but have a supreme being of a High 1A cosmology being able to transcend High 1A enough to reach tier 0, which could keep the one tier 0 per verse idea. Also having a strict rule on how much a character has to transcend to reach tier 0.

Can you elaborate more on this? What I get from this is that if we only use the monad proposal then some High 1A characters would just outright be stronger than some tier 0, which I agree would be awful.

Having only one would run into the problem of tier 0s being weaker than most High 1As, but expanding the ways to reach tier 0 and the idea of tier 0 as a whole could fix it. Not an expert on the tier though.
I don't see how that could fix it.

To simplify, either a limited number reaches it, and so the other characters who would have reached it (and thus kinda deserve to be at that tier) get disqualified, making High 1-As stronger than 0s. Or you let any number reach it, and so some series can flood 0 with characters.
I don't think the whole idea of supreme being is why everyone is up and arms for this, probably just people wanting to see their favorite verse succeed in scaling. If we're talking about a supreme being over a 1C verse becoming tier 0 then that's hilarious, in my opinion it should only hold weight inside either a High 1A or 1A verse, but then you could also make a supreme being of 1A verse jump into High 1A, just my thoughts.
Yeah under Ultima's system a supreme being over a 3-A verse would become tier 0. The stuff you're describing is more similar to our current one.
 
Under the new changes, I believe only his true form will qualify. His avatar will most likely be downgraded.

Personally! I’ve always been skeptical on the validity of the true spirit.
Can someone explain arceus’s r>f transcendence? I’m confused
There is no R>F involved

Edit: Though technically their right, it's Arceus' Beyond-Dimensional Existence Type 2 that was the initial argument for 1-A, it's just the whole perceiving the world Reality-Fiction thing serves as good supporting evidence of the rating.

Maybe, but it's also likely to have Buddhist inspiration, thousand arms ring thing and all that.

Edit: Also.

There is no room for scepticism here. It's straight from the horse's mouth, there is an avatar and a true form. Even included the Japanese so there is no argument over what it means by part, it means an avatar/alter ego and is a word that is usually used in reference to a god's ability to create avatars. Of particular note, it is used to refer to the Buddha's ability to appear in multiple forms to save people.
 
What y’all think of these statements by morgana from p5 anime;


Subjective Reality. Without additional context this is lesser beings shaping the world based on their perception. Which goes against one of the three rules of true Reality-Fiction relationships. Though the whole Axiom bestowing this to humanity does negate that, but even still this is not enough for 1-A, there has to be a higher reality or being that is transcendentally more powerful and not just the world is not real because it can be shaped by perception.

There’s also heaps of evidence that support R>F in SMT but In the P5, this world also includes mementos, which represents a shared mental realm shaped by society's distortions. Within this realm are countless archetypes, fundamental symbols that exist beyond time and space. It's something like entering a dimensionless space where these archetypes, similar to Plato's ideas, transcend usual understanding of reality.And as you said there’s also the fact that the great reason purposely granted humanity gods slayers/messiahs
 
Would this change affect The Beyonder's scaling at all? Also, this is sort of unrelated, but where exactly does The Beyond scale to as far as place in Marvel?

I remember a good few years ago he was some hyper omnipotent God who was second only to The One Above All, but now I've heard he isn't even top 20. It's all so confusing to me lol.
 
Well obviously Oneness is not the only one or not only in itself, so, what's the main requirement for Tier 0. Beyond attributes or Qualities/undifferentiated whole?

Probably not as Marvel retain High 1-A. The Beyond scales above Eternity which contains the Superflow, Neutral Zone, and possibly the Far Shore. At least still four to five degrees above baseline. The Beyond is the remnant of the Second Cosmos as the Omega Council used it as the foundation of the coming Firmaments/Multiverses. Thus is still below the White Hot Room, House of Ideas, the Land, and Dominions.

Well, he’s still strong but his not the most powerful or second.

Divine Simplicity is the easiest explanation. That the divine is not of properties nor of any conformant of compositions about its physical or metaphysical nature.

Monad as Ultima describes it is the single origin point, an ineffable point beyond anything as the one and only true substance like the idea of Brahman in Hinduism.
