i want to know something. Why isn't the cycle of time scaled higher?
Cycle of time, there is an infinite timeline in tensura, chloe used time travel to travel to another timeline and she does this an infinite number of times. Time travel in tensura works in a way that you can't go back to a time where you exist, the world prevents this from happening.
But this is not just simple infinite times of travel becuase chloe's mask, which has been with her in each time travel, had time suppression of infinity (stated in Special Booklet, Story 4; Kuro and The Mask). the same infinity surpassed time itself and diablo's age. He existed before the creation of the cardinal world.
As for his full age; He existed before the Cardinal World; As we will discuss in the latter sections, the Cardinal World is a Hyper-timeline (World-line) spawning across all of the Cardinal Universes/Cycles. Thus, even a single moment in this cycle should amount to eternity. Considering Diablo has lived before it, his age can be assumed to be at least above baseline Eternity, and in context to that, if we take Eternity as a non-infinite number, then the Mask's age would be infinity.
Timelines are branching into more and more timelines constantly. So the number of timelines are far higher. This satisfies the many universe theory. Quantum particles exist in tensura and space is full of possibilities, so we can assume quantum MWI also exists due to the similarities.
I got some details from astral for this. But Quantum MWI can scale to high 1-B based on this i found online.
But what about the Hilbert space? Everett indeed stated that universal wavefunction is an element in Hilbert space. Tegmark goes on to state in a more clear manner that the wavefunction corresponds to a point within Hilbert space. But here is the thing, the universes of MWI are technically not from the Hilbert space, but the universal wavefunction. There is only one universal wavefunction, which is responsible for all branches. A character destroying/creating a multiverse that works off of MWI would be just a Low 1-C feat since they would only be affecting the universal wavefunction. In addition, the Hilbert space is not real, it's viewed as abstract. It's no wonder that Everett states that the physical entity is the wavefunction. The Hilbert space is just an abstract/mathematical representation used to describe the possible quantum states. While the wavefunction is said to "live" or "reside" within Hilbert space, this is used in a metaphorical sense. The Hilbert space is not considered as literally existing.
As such, a verse should only qualify for High 1-B through MWI if:
- The Hilbert space is proven to exist.
- The character has feats of affecting the Hilbert space instead of just the collection of universes from the wavefunction.
In the case of a verse not name-dropping MWI in any way, the most sensible option is to go with how the verse portrays the parallel worlds and the branchings. However, it can still be considered Low 1-C if the verse meets one of the following requirements:
- Statements of a universal wavefunction.
- Statements that the wavefunction never collapses.
- The universe constantly splitting for every quantum event/quantum moment.
