So. This is somewhat awkward. The changes of the past CRTs have already been accepted, but I haven’t implemented them yet… and the thing is? I have to downgrade it already. Lol.
Well, most of it is fine—but Symbolism, which is accepted as 1-A, will have to go down to Low 1-A.
Conclusions:
Astral World -> CM Type 1 and 1 Layer into Low 1-A
Symbolism/Sefirot: 1-A -> 1 Layer into Low 1-A
Awakened OC -> 1 Layer into Low 1-A
Sleeping OC -> Remains 1-A as it R>Fs the entire metaphysical structure of LOTM whilst dreaming it up
Important Edit:
After some further discussion in this thread (which you can check yourself), I believe 1-A Astral World is tenable. Which means Sleeping OC is also 1 layer into 1-A.

Symbolism is directly located within the Astral World. And that is not to say that it’s some sort of representation of the Symbolism, but the genuine Symbolism of Sefirot itself (which can be sealed to nerf characters lol).
And I have already explained in the previously linked thread how the Astral World cannot be 1-A. For example, a major grievance of such a claim would be the fact that there are non-1-A realms either within it, or at least connected to it in some way (even if through the power of an Astral World being as there is no change in ontology for the inhabitants).
Nevertheless, it would naturally still qualify for Low 1-A as they are BDE2 universals without any anti-feats with even space being (obviously) conceptual here. And it also upscales from the L1A Spirit World as well, so that’s a layer into L1A, I believe (given it contains Sefirah’s Symbolism of the Spirit World)
Now, as all Universal-Concepts are located within the Astral World, this sort of grants the entire realm Type 1 CM. This sentiment is also re-affirmed by the author himself.

Yet, even as Symbolism goes down to Low 1-A, there is still hope for 1-A, specifically in regards to the Godhead of the verse—the Original Creator.
Well, I should begin by essentially explaining the nature of OC and the structure of the cosmology and how everything came to be (naturally, I recommend reading all the scans linked here, but I will go over them step-by-step. Nevertheless, please do ask if you want any specific thing or point clarified in some way):
As you can see above, the series already makes many distinctions between stuff like OC’s psyche, will, spirit, symbolism etc. so there’s grades to that to, but that’s not where we’re honing in here. The main distinction will be OC-as-sleeping (non-existence) and OC-as-awakened (existence). The former of which, I will attempt to posit as 1-A.
Naturally, I think it’s apt to mention that sleeping OC is capable of dreaming all of reality, which is a very cut-and-dry 1-A feat, so we are not lacking in that department even when making these distinctions between its ontological stages.
The main difference between the two OCs, then, comes from the fact that the universals themselves exist in different ontologies. That is, that the concepts as they are within OC are not universals at all and only act that way when they manifest themselves as Yin and Yang/split off from him which is to say that what we treat as “Low 1-A” is attained from an active ontological reduction. So to say, the concept of “Reality” within OC is different from when it is manifested as Symbolism within Mother Goddess of Depravity or her Sefirot, which is why it only takes effect after she is born.
This also makes sense when considering how OC is beyond the structure of Sefirot or of the cosmology itself being capable of altering them as it pleases him.
Also, the fact that duality itself is [of him] solidifies this point further. Naturally, there’s also no problem with “returning to 1-A” as it is done through the negation of the non-1-A properties into non-existence.
The cosmology then follows as such:

- Firstly, the Original Creator is the Primordial Chaos. Meaning that “0” here, which is attributed to non-existence or the non-duality of Chaos, is also just OC himself.
- After “0”, the Original Creator awakens as “1” and Existence. And after doing so, separation and convergence, or rather, Yin and Yang are created by him. This is more-so an instinctual act of his, but it is essentially just to say that duality is a by-product of him (reflecting the Taiji obviously).
- Then, he splits up into “2”, which is the divinities—or more accurately, the Sefirot and Symbolism—that manifests all things, which is “3”.
- And naturally, all things eventually unite into the singularity of Chaos, including aspects of OC such as his spirit.

The cosmology then follows as such:
- Original Creator, as “0”, remains in a state of primordial [non-existence] (Chaos) wherein it dreams all of Reality.
- By waking up, it transitions into “1” as it manifests itself as [existence].
- There, “2” also follows, which is the aforementioned process of OC manifesting all the notions it possesses into universals, which for LOTM’s current cycle is the Sefirot.
- At the end of the universe, it returns all its existing aspects into non-existence, chaos and non-duality by returning to its sleeping state as “the origin of all things” wherein it continues dreaming reality free from separation and convergence.
