Also I have no choice but to do this, since you keep ignoring my actual argument for god knows what reason.
These are my arguments that @Iamunanimousinthat has simply refused to acknowledge much less address.
Right, and I pointed out the problems with it.
That's on you to prove that it is talking about all of space-time/all of the cosmology, it isn't my burden to prove a negative. Unless you're saying that all of the cosmology is a single space-time which can't be true.
Yeah, that seems to be more of an anti-feat for the corridor itself rather than evidence of its range or superiority. Lighting up a realm that literally acts as a connection between different parts of a cosmology is entirely different to influencing the entire cosmology (also do I really need to tell you that lighting up =/= transcendence?). That only works though if the space-time corridor itself is superior to the rest of the cosmology which I don't really see you arguing here. You've reiterated multiple times that it is simply used to traverse the cosmology using the space-time key and coordinates. The layers of time stuff I'm possibly misunderstanding here, so could you provide more info on why that's relevant here?
Right, and including all that I've said above already, I also mentioned that transcendence doesn't usually mean much as far as achieving complete, qualitative superiority goes. The fact is, it being stated to be a literal galactic center (with all the implications that come with it, which I've highlighted in my previous post) is already a huge anti-feat against it, not to mention all the willy-nilly travel to and from it. I have yet to see a reason why you believe that it should qualify for Ontological superiority.
I'm not debating transcendence, I'm debating the claim of its complete Ontological superiority to all of reality. You do understand that simply lacking space and time isn't the same as that right? You have to prove its complete, unequivocal superiority to it, and one of the most basic ways you'd even begin doing that is proving unambiguously that it truly transcends the entire cosmology which you haven't done. And as I said you've in no way proven its 'vastness' either, in fact you didn't counter my objections regarding its size which makes me doubt this line of scaling that much more.
Right, unfortunately unless you can also unequivocally prove that 'cosmos' here is referring to the entire cosmology here (including the Corridor), this doesn't really help your case.
I feel like you're truly underestimating and misunderstanding what it means and what it takes to achieve qualitatively superiority to something. You do understand the anti-feats basically make it impossible, right? It's not as simple as simply showing that a realm predates matter and a space-time or is the source of an object stated to 'transcend space-time'. So yeah, I've become even more unconvinced of this argument than I was before, so unless you can prove superiority/transcendence to all of the cosmology, it's a complete non-starter without it. I don't even have to go into any anti-feats (besides the size, and even that is because you mentioned it) yet because of this.
Also this part specifically irks me.
"Characters who lack spatiotemporal features entirely, while not actually being superior to them in nature. They are simply ontologically different from any dimensional construct, but can ultimately still be comparable to dimension-bound entities in terms of raw power."
You may ask where this is from, this is actually from the BDE Type 1 section. The statement you gave, lacking spatiotemporal features as your own statement states, is just BDE Type 1 at best. This also explains the extensive evidence you gave for its acausal nature, from the very next part of the section:
"Due to being aspatial and atemporal, they are obviously immune to conventional Spatial Manipulation and Time Manipulation, and since they are not part of the spacetime continuum, they usually have Acausality"
As I said, acausality doesn't help your case here anyway and is explained away by this.
Now, onto BDE Type 2 itself. Here's what the section starts with:
"Characters who exceed dimensionality, which may occur in the following ways"
As you can probably infer by yourself, lacking something is patently NOT the same as exceeding it or being entirely superior to it.
We can forget the first way to achieve it via a Von Neumann universe since that's not what you're arguing and focus on the second part instead.
"Through a qualitative superiority over lesser things, which is to say: Ontologically surpassing all the contents of a lower reality, and being above their physical composition and differentiation. Characters of this nature don't simply lack all physicality and composition (As in Type 1), but surpass it altogether, being of a wholly superior nature that is not reachable by lower states of existence."
This is the part where you haven't done the work unfortunately, especially given the sheer lack of relevant scans to support this. This claim of mine (of proving superiority to all of space-time, etc) isn't out of thin air as the very next section would show:
"As a default, statements of being "above dimensions" are set at Low 1-A, and the same is applied to statements indicating superiority over "All of space and time," and similar."
And there it is.... the exact thing you haven't done here. Not only do I see no statement of being "above all dimensions" (in this context, all mathematical dimensions and such, so no the Tau Star System alone isn't enough proof), you have also NOT posted a statement or proven anything that indicates being above "All of space and time" like the standard itself states. So yeah, this is why your "direct" statements aren't enough for me, because they simply don't follow the standard that you claim they do
Also, thinking more on it. There's actually not even a single statement of the Cauldron itself either transcending all of space time or being above all dimensions. you just stated that it does simply because it created the star seed for the Tau Star System and the crystal that supposedly transcends space-time, no evidence of such a statement for the realm itself among other things. Are you sure this isn't just a verse-specific creation mechanic, because that's exactly what it looks like to me especially given the size problems that are already an anti-feat on their own.
These are my arguments that @Iamunanimousinthat has simply refused to acknowledge much less address.
