With recent events, the thread that establishes Star Seeds as metaphysical aspects has been partially rejected and Star Seeds kind of sit in a limbo sort of state. For ease and less confusion, and to allow supporters to easily link to a source, I want to use this thread to get Star Seeds officially accepted as a metaphysical aspect and have a blog that will be linked as an addendum to the cosmology page.
Star Seeds are already accepted metaphysical aspects. This CRT is to make a blog stating such as way to separate it from the conceptual manipulation thread. Star Seeds are still accepted as information manipulation type 2 via metaphysical equivalence.
1. When the word Star is being used in Sailor Moon, it can be used both literally and metaphorically. Literally to mean actual stars in space or metaphorically to mean celestial bodies like a planet, moon, etc. to even people and individuals. Since everything in the verse comes from a Star Seed, you can essentially call everything a "Star'.
2. While the text mentions, 'Galaxy', the scope of the Galaxy Cauldron expands to the entire Cosmology, and not just the galaxy. For example, Pharaoh 90 is a being from an Alternate Universe, yet he still originated in the Galaxy Cauldron which is located in the Main Universe.
3. Sailor Crystals are special forms of Star Seeds.
They come from the Cauldron which is the source of everything. The Cauldron governs the rises and falls of stars. It is the ultimate source of everything. Everything exists and pasts away in the cauldron. It is the primoradial sea and mother ocean. The sea of beginning. Everything was one with the Cauldron, and everything returns to the cauldron.
Star Seeds and Sailor Crystals are concentrations of that primordial sea of pure potential. And in the Cauldron they are perfected/complete and one.
While star seeds govern and give form to things, Star seeds are also independent to the forms they give:
A. When Hotaru's body and soul were destroyed by Mistress 9, Sailor Saturn was still able to awaken because everything that makes her is in her Sailor Crystal.
B. When Mamoru was killed in the past, Chibi-Usa, his future daughter was completely unaffected. His future self was also not immediately erased by causality.
C. The Sailor Animamates are fake Sailor Senshi. They use the Sailor Crystals of dead Senshi as their power source. If Star Seeds weren't independent, those Sailor Crystals would have disappeared along with their dead original hosts.
But the forms are dependent on the star seeds:
A. After an unknown period of time, causality finally caught up to the future, Mamoru would have been erased but his Sailor Crystal kept him from being erased. (His daughter was still unaffected)
B. When Mamoru's crystal was thrown back into the cauldron and erased, Mamoru was erased across time, past, present, and future. His daughter, who completely erased as well.
No one can exist without their star seeds. And destroying the star seeds destroys everything in all parts of reality.
Hotaru, while being a disembodied soul, refers to a bigger self. That bigger self is obviously Sailor Saturn. Sailor Saturn who comes from her Sailor Crystal.
"Sailor Crystals are a distillation of power." (incase imgur is still not working)
"Sailor Crystals are a distillation of power."
The series has on many occasions made clear that the physical crystals that house the power/sailor crystals is not the important part.
When Galaxia takes the Sailor Crystal, she destroys the physical crystal and takes the sailor crystal inside of it. And this isn't just established in the final arc either!
Way back in the first arc, this distinction between the physical crystal and the power inside it is made abundantly clear. Sailor Moon subconsciously puts the power of the silver crystal inside Mamoru in order to save his life. After doing so, she renders the crystal into just a plain glass bauble. This is again repeated throughout the series that without the actual power, the silver crystal is just a piece of glass. The physical crystals act like conduits for the power inside.
The crystals themselves can have many physical manifestations that people can use, but ultimately, the physical bodies of the crystals are unimportant. It's the power inside. After all they are also the source of all power and abilities in the series.
They are concentrated power from the Cauldron, which is distinct and separated from reality and predates it entirely. Beings are erased across time and space when they enter the cauldron. The

Before we start allow me to define these terms to prevent confusion:
1. When the word Star is being used in Sailor Moon, it can be used both literally and metaphorically. Literally to mean actual stars in space or metaphorically to mean celestial bodies like a planet, moon, etc. to even people and individuals. Since everything in the verse comes from a Star Seed, you can essentially call everything a "Star'.

What are Metaphysical Aspects?
The term Metaphysical Aspects refers to aspects of existence which are not part of the physical world, or spiritual aspects like mind or soul, but define or govern the world from the background. Examples include laws, causality, information, concepts, plot and also things our wiki does not list separately, such as some verses' versions of names, Dao, essence, ether etc.What are Star Seeds?
Star Seeds are the fundamental cores of everything in the Sailor Moon Universe. They are distillations of unknown power. They give birth to everything. All living things regardless of their shape, size, or name, all celestial objects (everything in the heavens). This is not just for physical beings, but non-physical beings such as Metallia who is pure darkness, Death Phantom, whose true form is his resentment, ghosts, and Gods. The galaxy cauldron through star seeds give form to all beings. Universes, power, light, darkness, history, destiny, futures, possibilities and potential. Even the Cosmos itself has a star seed.They come from the Cauldron which is the source of everything. The Cauldron governs the rises and falls of stars. It is the ultimate source of everything. Everything exists and pasts away in the cauldron. It is the primoradial sea and mother ocean. The sea of beginning. Everything was one with the Cauldron, and everything returns to the cauldron.
Star Seeds and Sailor Crystals are concentrations of that primordial sea of pure potential. And in the Cauldron they are perfected/complete and one.
How do star seeds define and govern the world?
Star seeds give everything their form. They are the fundamental source. Star seeds contain everything about the form within themselves. They are the source of power for all characters. Manipulating the star seeds means you can completely recreate the form. Sailor Galaxia manipulated the Star Seeds to create evil versions of the main cast. They were not simply brainwashed, but remade to be evil and subservient to her. Sailor Galaxia was able to redefine who they were on a fundamental level. Even the quality of their power was altered.While star seeds govern and give form to things, Star seeds are also independent to the forms they give:
A. When Hotaru's body and soul were destroyed by Mistress 9, Sailor Saturn was still able to awaken because everything that makes her is in her Sailor Crystal.
B. When Mamoru was killed in the past, Chibi-Usa, his future daughter was completely unaffected. His future self was also not immediately erased by causality.
C. The Sailor Animamates are fake Sailor Senshi. They use the Sailor Crystals of dead Senshi as their power source. If Star Seeds weren't independent, those Sailor Crystals would have disappeared along with their dead original hosts.
But the forms are dependent on the star seeds:
A. After an unknown period of time, causality finally caught up to the future, Mamoru would have been erased but his Sailor Crystal kept him from being erased. (His daughter was still unaffected)
B. When Mamoru's crystal was thrown back into the cauldron and erased, Mamoru was erased across time, past, present, and future. His daughter, who completely erased as well.
No one can exist without their star seeds. And destroying the star seeds destroys everything in all parts of reality.
What Star Seeds aren't:
Star seeds are not Souls. Here is a scene where Chibi-usa is a disembodied soul, and we see that her Sailor Crystal, the Silver Crystal is completely separate to her.Hotaru, while being a disembodied soul, refers to a bigger self. That bigger self is obviously Sailor Saturn. Sailor Saturn who comes from her Sailor Crystal.
Star Seeds and Sailor Crystals are not physical.

Conclusion
Every universe, star, planet, celestial object and being in the series comes from a star seed. They depend on the seeds for their very own existence. Star Seeds are concentrated power from the Cauldron, the ontological source of everything in the cosmology that also governs reality. By manipulating them, you can control and alter the forms they create, and their destruction completely affects reality, by erasing the forms from all of history.Agreements
