Removing CM1 from Aeons (Honkai: Star Rail)

Status
Not open for further replies.
I agree with that doesn't mean i disagree at other stuff. If the abstract, concept govern things under the area of its influence and is independent from them, it is still CM1
The whole thing with CM1 is that the notions exist for the universal. Simply governing some category or genera of things is just some hax. Controlling all space in the universe is not CM1, but space being contingent on an abstracta to actualize it’s existence is.

Type 2 is a bit more general and broad, so there’s leeway there but this verse doesn’t even qualify for that.

that wouldn’t be a Type 1 concept by the standards. A Type 1 concept isn’t just a concept of things (as in merely governing things). It has to be the concept of thing-ness itself, meaning things must participate in it in order to have their “-ness.” In other words, anything that participates in the concept gets its properties from it. @DontTalkDT , who created the conceptual page, made it clear that concepts need to give things their properties on a universal level to qualify as Type 2 and Type 1 here, here and here. So just being a “universal independent concept of X” isn’t enough. It must be the concept of X-ness.

Forgot that that the concept should also define those thing, but again, my point still stand, unless you want every fiction verse to copypaste our conceptual manipulation type 1 description in cm page to qualify then i must disagree
 
I don't think a Type 1 concept needs to be that complicated. I think a Type 1 concept is like a Type 2 concept, supporting everything in its domain, but it's independent of its object. If the object is destroyed, the concept still survives.

path only needs proof that it is a fundamental concept that supports everything in its area, then path can be said to be a fundamental concept of type 2 or type 1 depending on whether it is independent or dependent on its object.
 
@Vietthai96 this only applies to 1-A to tier 0
there are many verses with CM1 that don't follow this rule
Correction, it applies to Low 1-A onward
This should only the case for degrees of independence.

Being affected by the reality you ground does not remove Type 1 (it just removes 1-A but can remain lower-tier) but being affected by affecting the Reality you ground does.

If you a concept isn’t the ground of their particulars then wtf even is Type 1 anymore? Because it sure as hell isn’t a universal.

I feel there’s genuinely been some weird unprompted shift of standards that has lead to so many verses getting wanked that it’s insane. Like, if you aren’t following what DT or the CM page itself says, then what are we even scaling here?

Like has there even been a thread to explain this or did we just start wanking shit because we felt like it? I’m actually so baffled right now.

Forgot that that the concept should also define those thing, but again, my point still stand, unless you want every fiction verse to copypaste our conceptual manipulation type 1 description in cm page to qualify then i must disagree
CM1 is meant to be hard to get. It’s supposed to be a top-tier hax not just some bum thing everyone and their mothers has. And there are plenty verses that qualify for it even with these strict standards.

Like having it be so broad is genuinely insane to me because the disparity in CM1 across different verses is insane.

Well, Finality has already proven itself that it is technically: Independent from Finality itself.

Finality governing Time makes it so that Time is practically Finality itself, they're not separate things (If you play HI3). However that being said, Finality later on is unaffected by time, or Finality itself as said in the scans I gave out earlier.

So, yes, Finality here participates as the concept of X-ness and Finality as a concept is Independent from their own concept. Should be clear-cut why this is CM1, even if Finality and Time are both CM2: Later on, Finality is unaffected by what they govern and themselves (as in their own concept).

I decided to reply to this because this is literally my understanding about the page.

The Loading Screen about Path makes it obvious that when a Path is born, everything pertaining to that Path becomes their manifestation.
If the Path is destroyed but the manifestation still exist? That's practically impossible, Irontomb destroying Erudition equals to him destroying the universe and recreating it since everything in the universe is merely a manifestation of Erudition. This includes the space, time, matter and everything I said earlier.
 
Irontomb destroys the Path of Erudition -> Irontomb destroys the universe which is comprised of those fundamental building blocks that's restricted by Erudition as the consequence of it destroying Erudition.

Irontomb creates a new universe, where the constant there is purely random and isn't subjugated to Erudition.

Irontomb just creates a new universe, subsequently creating the fundamental building blocks that's not restricted by Erudition anymore, the moment Erudition is born: It restricts every fundamental building block in the universe that predates Erudition as in if Erudition gets destroyed, all of them also gets destroyed.

All instances of X (particulars) relate to what-it-is-to-be-X (universal). By definition this cannot be true if time predates finality (which you affirmed), so both Type 2 and 1 are disqualified.

Also you have yet to explain time’s dependency on Finality. You need to prove it grounds it.

This is just misunderstanding what the loading screen says. It’s not saying “all destruction is a manifestation of the Path of Destruction” but that “the Path of Destruction manifest destruction”.

It’s like saying “light is a manifestation of a photon”, but not all light is a manifestation of the same photon (obviously).

Yes, let’s make shit up and completely ignore every single contention the opposition has brought so far.

Finality = Time, and Finality is Independent from their own concept. Time predates Finality the same way space, time and matter predates Erudition but the moment they're constrained: They're dependent, proven by Irontomb destroying Erudition = destroying the universe.

Also play the game bro, every act of Destruction is considered as manifestation of the Path of Destruction, that's the entire point of Path.

This is literally explained in the end of 3.5, please play the game man

The only contentions I see is just a bunch of complex word salads that don't make sense. I reply to the things that actually has grounds in it like what Grabbing said then I proved it.
 
Finality = Time, and Finality is Independent from their own concept.
Your proof for this is that since Finality governs Time, then they’re the same thing. Come on bro. And it’s like not even independent, the ways it’s explained is literally just time manip resistance because they control time lol.

Also weren’t you claiming that Time was Type 2? (Not that there’s proof for that, btw. I’ve already laid my contentions out)

Time predates Finality the same way space, time and matter predates Erudition but the moment they're constrained: They're dependent
I’ve already explained MULTIPLE times why the Erudition thing you’re explaining is complete bs and a misunderstanding of what Lygus means.

And that’s not how universals work. At all. You can’t simply “begin participating” in some universal. I have explained all of this stuff dozens of times my man.

Irontomb destroying Erudition = destroying the universe.
This is so out of context it baffles me. This is on the same level as saying that “destroying the world” means “blowing up a planet” when it can mean pretty much hundreds of other things.

Also play the game bro, every act of Destruction is considered as manifestation of the Path of Destruction, that's the entire point of Path.
Look, I don’t actually think you’re illiterate. I just think that you take stuff that is obviously meant to be flowery language or whatever and make it as literal as possible for your scaling agenda.

I’ve gone paragraphs and paragraphs on why a bunch of these statements are extremely out of context and misinterpreted. And I believe this is the reason why this verse has historically been so over-wanked, because noone is going to bother to sit through all of this text and lore just for some powerscaling.

This is literally explained in the end of 3.5, please play the game man
Read my previous paragraph again.

Irontomb destroys civilizations and intelligent life. I already explained all of this and what it means in this comment here. Which you haven’t addressed, just like you haven’t addressed a single contention of mine. Ever.

The only contentions I see is just a bunch of complex word salads that don't make sense. I reply to the things that actually has grounds in it like what Grabbing said then I proved it.

So true. We have CM type 3, which is meant to be loose and vague, but somehow there are more verses with CM1 than Type 3. It should be the other way around, since CM1 is meant to be strict, unlike nonduality. Fictions definition of concepts aren’t ignored; they would still qualify as Type 3 concepts atleast
there are many verses with CM1 that don't follow this rule
That means they don't follow the standards, therefore they're wanked as @Super_Nova as keept saying.

My thoughts regarding Concept Type 1 for Honkai are the same as @Super_Nova ’s. You haven’t proved that they are stated to be the essences of things, or that they are what give things their whatness, or that they are the very definition of things, or anything similar. For example…

He knows that, depending on how concepts are defined, they can qualify for Low 1-A and above, but he never agreed that concepts are anything other than whatness even for lower tiers
Ye, I even explained how this works here:
Being affected by the reality you ground does not remove Type 1 (it just removes 1-A but can remain lower-tier) but being affected by affecting the Reality you ground does.
 
This is in the CM page:
Independent Universal Concepts: Such concepts are completely independent from the part of reality they govern, except maybe of other concepts of this nature. These concepts shape all of reality within their area of influence and at whatever level that area exists in, and everything in it "participates" in these concepts. For example, a circular object is circular because it is "participating" in the concept of "circle-ness". In this way, the alteration of these concepts will change every object of the concept across all of their area of influence, while the opposite wouldn't affect the concept.
 
yeah and you are purposely twisting that to make it more strict just so this thread gets accepted
No I’m not lmao. What is this accusation. The CM page perfectly describes the following points:
  • Things exist because, and are dependent on, their concepts.
  • These concepts cannot be changed by affecting what depends on them.
  • Affecting these concepts affects all things dependent on them.
I’m not asking anyone to describe a universal in philosophical terms or anything like that. I am asking to prove that these concepts work like this. That’s all. And HSR does not qualify at all.
 
i know?
that doesn't change anything
If you understand the explanations in the scan below about how Concept Type 1 governs things, could you please explain it in your own words?
For example, a circular object is circular because it is "participating" in the concept of "circle-ness
No I’m not lmao. What is this accusation. The CM page perfectly describes the following points:
  • Things exist because, and are dependent on, their concepts.
it should be
  • Things exist with the properties they have, which are dependent on their concepts that defines them.

CM1 is being independent from your own concept, I don't know how you can't understand that Finality is already independent from its own concept and that's enough.

It is a type 2 concept, it exist across all realms which are the Sea of Quanta, Imaginary Space and Imaginary Tree and all of them are all at MINIMUM space-time continuum sized.

How is it flowery? This isn't Genshin, you're actually delusional. "Misinterpreted", you can't prove the otherwise, it's so obvious.

I already addressed your contention, you just REFUSED to acknowledge it because it goes against your agenda here.

You're just overcomplicating it, this is so obvious even with how you act to the staff themselves. That is honestly insane man.

Please play the game before debunking things that you don't understand and have zero context of, this should be blatant enough.

Unless the standards are revised, I think you're just making things up at this point. CM standards aren't like that, lmao.

Let's see, how much fiction actually fits your standard of CM? None.
 
I proved multiple times why Paths are independent from what they govern, and themselves. This goes as far as to Paths existing even if their respective Aeon dies.

This is just delusional man, stop it. You're actually not going anywhere with this.
 
seriously bro @Grabbing_dragon
you are using this small example statement
For example, a circular object is circular because it is "participating" in the concept of "circle-ness"
and trying to turn it into something stricter and more complicated when it really isn't
 
it should be
  • Things exist with the properties they have, which are dependent on their concepts that defines them.
Yes, this is technically the definition but I also believe that it’s not the wiki’s intention to be too philosophically intense. I made my descriptions with that in mind, but even then a lot of verses don’t qualify with this leeway.

Let's see, how much fiction actually fits your standard of CM? None.
Lord of the Mysteries is one.

Not even going to bother with the rest because you’re not actually refuting a single point I’ve made and you’re just telling yourself that somehow you’ve debunked my arguments. Like I don’t have to point out that none of those paragraphs you wrote actually contend my arguments and tell me why I am wrong, you’re just telling me I am and leaving it at that.
 
seriously bro @Grabbing_dragon

and trying to turn it into something stricter and more complicated when it really isn't
Sometimes small example is what proves the standards on things, like nonduality used to be, it only had a small example, but that example is what proved that what qualifies as duality are logical negations. The same applies to Concept Type 1 and 2, and that example told us how things are participating in them, they participate in them in order to get their properties, which is confirmed by two of the most knowledgeable members, Ultima and DontTalks so any other sence wouldnt be following the established standards.

some things, yes, but not on Tier 0, nonduality, concepts, etc.

You can get Tier 0 without needing to specify that a characters Essence and Existence are identical to each other and whatever else. You just need enough proof that it pretty much entails that.

The points I listed earlier are also characteristics that a verse should show without needing to say “X participates in Universal of X”. As the ontology of a thing can be derived from its function.

But as I’ve said, a lot of verses don’t even display that “function”, including this one.
 
so.. eh..................i was away for a few hours and............wth is happening?

Anyway, let not talking about standard, what matter is the verse is qualify or not, not nitpicking what is the right standard, because there is no perfect standard

Alright, so the new standards is just making CM1 exclusive for 1-A and above. Why is it that hard for you to say it that way?
I said this back in 12 October, this is actually mental if you ask me that CM1 must be Low 1-A and above. I thought all those stuff were just the nonsense you're saying, on top of that: The scan you gave me for LOTM isn't the reason why its CM1. It actually lies in the Low 1-A justification where they are Low 1-A in nature as in being able to manipulate all of space, time and so on as concepts and somehow independent from whatever it is.

I also found this comment here:

Why is it actually so hard for you, and for everyone else that agrees here that CM1 should just be exclusively limited to Low 1-A and above? You can't also run from this, let's be honest when there are multiple indications of you saying this back in page 2 and so on.

I was curious why all the evidence I gave to you wasn't enough to you apparently, you really can't just make it as simple as this without having too much of like complex word salads huh?

Literally just nuke CM1 from those that's below Low 1-A, and put it as CM2 for whatever reason. Sure, yeah, if the new standards are like that.
 
Dude I'm actually reporting you to RVT if the one I said above is the new standards, that's just pure malice tbh. All that word salad that I don't understand is apparently just concepts being Low 1-A in nature. That's insane man

That shit is over a year old btw. I completely disagree with almost everything I’ve said then. In fact, if you’d bother to check, you’d realize I’ve made multiple threads over the past months to completely fix everything there working the verse from ground up.

And I have never said it is limited to Low 1-A. I’ve already told u above how you can be below it and still have Type 1. It’s genuinely not that hard.

Alright, prove another verse that's below Low 1-A and why they qualify for CM1. If you could do that, I'd prove it why Honkai is the same.

This is so funny. No wonder the verse is in the state it is
