Can you update the OP with the votes before you do that?Given the overall disagreement from our regular users and staff no clear nor concise counterargument I'll just close this thread.
We don't have any rule stating that you have to wait 24 or 48 hours to close a rejected thread; we simply deduce that a thread that has received many votes against can be closed if there are many staff against it and there is no clear and concise counterargument against the rejection. In this case, the opposition seems to have ignored previous threads and discussions about the upgrade and is unaware of what would be considered information and the like, so yes, we can pretty much close it now. However, I will wait a little while to see what happens.Doesn't it still need 48hrs grace period upon being posted

Hello hello
Using Agnaa Service![]()
Question:
This is clear but there are a lot of people talking about it, so some sort of confirmation would be helpful.
There are a type of beings (spirits) that are based on rumors/legends/belief of people.
Basically if people believe there's a dragon living inside some cave, a spirit will come to life dependent on that belief. If people think it has a certain power, said spirits will have that power.
And if people forget that legend/rumor or lose said belief, the spirit in question vanishes.
But we have no proof that said spirits or legends/rumors/belief define reality (or an aspect of it). The legends/rumors/belief themselves only define the person/group of them, nothing else.
Is this info type 1 (knowledge) or type 2 (fundamental)?
Agnaa:
Neither
It's simply reality adjusting itself, to a limited extent, in response to some personal information.
Me:
Hmm, alright
And, the supporters gave me some more scans after I wrote that msg, and it seems the rumors also give birth to a "Spirit world" of sorts where spirits reside. Basically a confined space born from the belief that "there's a spirit world and spirits live in it" which changes in real time based on the rumors surrounding it (like if someone were to believe that it has NEP, it will have it, or etc.)
Would that change anything about it being info (type 1 or 2) or not?
Agnaa:
If you interrogate what you mean by “it”, I think you’ll get why the answer is no.
Me:
I do get it, but it seems the supporters don't, so I need some words from a neutral staff (other than the supporting staff of the verse itself)
Skip some messages unrelated to Spirits (they're about Land of Traces instead):Agnaa:
Does the fact that supernatural things respond to the beliefs of society about the supernatural, mean that:
1. Society’s beliefs are info type 1/2? No, their beliefs don’t do anything special in regard to other topics. And they’re liable to change, they’re not some abstract notion of knowledge itself where alterations to it prevent knowledge from being gained in other ways.
2. Supernatural things are information? No, they just respond to it. A character growing muscles if other characters believe they’re strong does not mean the substance of their muscles is information.
Agnaa:
From the little bit you told me, it sounded like aberrations from Monogatari, which never got any ability like that.
Me:
Good morning Fine

Or would you prefer if I ask it on your msg wall?
Fine: Sounds like it may just be Subjective Reality.
Me: Hmm. For everyone?
Fine: For whatever phenomenon is causing this.
Me: Basically anyone that can think and believe in something. So all life as sentient as humans or more
Fine: Then I guess yeah all the humans in that universe.
Me:
Anyways
I got some more context from other people after I wrote that question
And it seems that that belief/rumor itself created even the spirit world (the belief that there is a spirit realm where spirits reside)
Would that change anything?
Fine: The rumor itself might be Info Type 2 on a technicality but as an ability I'd probably list it as Subjective Reality rather than Type 2 Info Manipulation.
Me: And what about Spirits that are based on/are the embodiment of said rumor?
Fine:乁( •_• )ㄏ
I responded to briefly answer a few short questions. Not to get in a protracted multi-dozen scan discussion for a verse I don't care about.Ngl here, call them here to debate so MGK supporters can provide scan, context and reasoning.
@Agnaa @FinePoint
Sorry for the ping, but i think it is better discussing in this thread
Can you ping @Mr. Bambu and @DontTalkDT as well?Ngl here, call them here to debate so MGK supporters can provide scan, context and reasoning.
@Agnaa @FinePoint
Sorry for the ping, but i think it is better discussing in this thread
This sums up my opinion on the thread as well, Gotta disagree with the thread.I disagree with this thread
Idk how many times I said this in the past: as long as information is a fundamental element that makes up something, be it an object, person, or even a realm, it qualifies as Information Type 2. Spirits and their realm were literally made by rumors, stories that are equivalent to information; altering these things literally will alter the corresponding spirit. If they go against these rumors, they literally disappear. All these feats support the fact that this information is fundamental. It being knowledge information or memory information or whatever doesn't matter; Type 1 and 2 differentiate themselves based on feats. Type 1 have no impact on anything rather than simply being knowledges or memories; Type 2, the information is fundamental and define thing itself
Just to clarify, the source of the spirits is made from the rumors/legends/stories themselves, so this makes the spirit itself Info2."the rumor itself (not the spirit) be info type 2"
Actually their bodies too. When Divine dogs just started eating the bodies that itself was devouring the rumours.Just to clarify, the source of the spirits is made from the rumors/legends/stories themselves, so this makes the spirit itself Info2.
Edit: I disagree with the topic. DT had already said before that even a stone could be Info2 if it proved that the entire existence of the stone is made up of (abstract) information, so I don't see how spirits can't be Info2, having abstract information that constitutes their existence/source.
Remembering prove they are not real and are dependent on people memory to exist.this is simply a weakness, not an anti-feat
If it's memory then it's a mental information and can't be equated with programing the info of reality.as i have said, knowledge or memory isn't matter; what matter is it's information or not, and what type will depend on how said information works.
Information is vague term by itself and in this verse it's refering to MEMORY/Knowledge.As we can see, as long as information is acting in a fashion that is equally fundamental, then it is Info 2. Compare this to the Spirit in question; the fact that these rumors, lores, and stories—or, if I go by your language, knowledge—serve as fundamental elements that directly dictate the Spirit's existence means it already satisfies the requirement for Type 2. This "knowledge" being stories spread from people is irrelevant; it is fundamental to the Spirit's existence, which is what matters.
Aberrations (also known as apparitions, oddities, yokai, and kaii) are supernatural beings within Monogatari. They exist because humans exist and behave as humans expect them to. If humanity's beliefs on them were to change, their forms would change too. If an aberration acts against its nature The Darkness will manifest and attempt to erase that aberration and any who witnessed it.
no?Are we making every verse with memory/knowledge as a fundamental aspect Info type 2 ?
They are not dependent on memory, it's the stories/narrative spread among people.Remembering prove they are not real and are dependent on people memory to exist.
If it was just mental information then spirits would be thing exising only in mind, not in reality. This has been said so many times above and you seem to ignore it everytime.If it's memory then it's a mental information and can't be equated with programing the info of reality.
If that info can shape something at fundamental level then surely yeah.Are we making every verse with memory/knowledge as a fundamental aspect Info type 2 ?
That's not needed.Wait a minute, do they even refer to the lore as "information" ?
They can't, that's what being fundamental info is.Like it or not it mean any Info type 1 user could interact MG "info type 2"
So, they're so called information is not even information. Just a collection of beliefs, emotions, memory/knowledge. And this support itThat's not needed
No, legends are stories that shape spirits. What we want to demonstrate is that type 2 information is "rumors" when spirits are shaped by rumors.Wait a minute, do they even refer to the lore as "information" ?
Yeah Teles isn't Information type 2. Dude is mixing up both.I don't think they use Teles as reason for Info 2, it is for Info 1. Just because types 1 & 2 got lumped together doesn't mean the entire justification is used for both types
i told him about land of traces and he told me that's too much information for him to wade into, so i didnt get answer for thatwhile Agnaa told me @Wesker018 is showering him with scans for a larger thing so so he'd have to decline mine to prevent answering selective parts.
The word 'information' is not necessary to get info 2 something equivalent to would also be enough to qualify, for here that would be legend and rumors as there can't be any legend/rumors without any kind of info. And spirits are made of it. Something that info 1 can't do it.1)Do they use the term information for lore ?
No
i will only answer traces related stuff:5) Are traces records of the past ?
Yes
6) Could you recreate objects using traces ?
Yes
7) Does the destruction of traces erase the past ?
No
“The Book of Traces shows the past exactly as it was,” he said. “It cannot be altered so easily. Even if it were changed, the order of time would return it to what it was originally.”
1)Do they use the term information for lore ?
No
2) Is the spirit's lore knowledge ?
Yes, it's shared rumors and stories, beliefs and emotions. And it's dependent on people remembering them.
3) Could you interact with lore through knowledge manipulation ?
Yes
you said these things right.6) Could you recreate objects using traces ?
Yes
The source of the spirit as I said is rumor and legend/lore.4) Are spirits and Lore the same ?
No, spirits themselves and their sources are not the lore
“Your source is shaped by a rumor or legend. That means that rumor or legend has taken on a kind of power within you that gets converted into your source. If I link your source to Sheila’s, you may be able to send your power to her before it undergoes that conversion, helping her recover to some extent.
“Spirits are formed from rumors and legends. In most cases, spirits are born from widespread rumors or famous legends and are fully developed at birth, but this isn’t the case for half-spirit, half-demon children. The spirit source is influenced by the demon half of their body. A newly created, weak rumor forms their source.”
“This was a lie. He lied about the child of the Great Spirit Reno. There was no child born between Reno and Shin, and Misa’s spirit lore was not the order to destroy the Demon King. The legend of Avos Dilhevia is the lore that formed her source.”
No, traces include both records and memories.5) Are traces records of the past ?
Yes
Numerous books fell silently from the vast bookshelves that stretched endlessly into the wasteland. They hovered around us and opened midair, pages tearing themselves out one after another and fluttering around like confetti. Those millions and millions of pages were the traces of records and memories of the world.
Is this relevant?7) Does the destruction of traces erase the past ?
No
Could you post scans ?6) Could you recreate objects using traces ?
Yes
7) Does the destruction of traces erase the past ?
Yes, since, as shown in one of my posts, the God of Traces = the past of everything, and the God of Traces = the traces. Anos destroyed that guy, but we still have the Order of Time (another Order) taking care of it.
There is another feat, graham killed Anos’s parents, but then he changed it to abernyu doing it via altering the text in the book of traces and writing something else.
Another one is that by changing the traces of the past, Revalshned made it so anos was always bound to chains, so he couldn't dodge it.
Not necessarily. Information is a broad term, it's like saying knowledge, lore, or ideas are not Information Type 1 simply because they are never referred to as information. This contradicts the very idea of your suggestion that they are merely Information Type 1. If they qualify as Information Type 1, they also qualify as Type 2 if they have been shown to govern or define reality or a being’s fundamental existenceLet's not act as if this the first time MG hax is getting downgraded.
Let's make it simple and correct me in case I'm wrong:
1)Do they use the term information for lore ?
No
And these rumors and stories are part of the fundamental existence of a Spirit. I understand what you mean here and I might have agreed with you for Agnaa's reason if the Spirit world were not a thing and WOG didn’t refer to it as being made of data.2) Is the spirit's lore knowledge ?
Yes, it's shared rumors and stories, beliefs and emotions. And it's dependent on people remembering them.
You can't as they are fundemental, but you can change it indirectly tho3) Could you interact with lore through knowledge manipulation ?
Yes
Yes they are4) Are spirits and Lore the same ?
No, spirits themselves and their sources are not the lore
Well, explained5) Are traces records of the past ?
Yes
6) Could you recreate objects using traces ?
Yes
7) Does the destruction of traces erase the past ?
No
Seems pretty clear that these "information" are just knowledge.
yes, there are a lot of things missing in that justification, i agree with that lol. That's why i created this:Could you post scans ?
Someone need to add those feats in the traces justification.
Your own wordsyou said these things right.
The source of the spirit as I said is rumor and legend/lore.
- Immortality & Regeneration (Types 1, 3, 4 & 8 up-to High-godly; A spirit can't die as long as their rumors persist. Even if killed they shall continue to rise again as long as the rumors which form them remain. Spirits will continue to resurrect even if their source is destroyed as long as their lore remains
Spirits are physical beings that embody their lore and could be resurrected thanks to it.
- Subjective Reality (Separate from a Spirit's existence and magic, their Legend itself has an influence on the world around them bringing to life what is said in the Legend. The Great Mother Spirit Reno isn't the first Spirit, neither did she biologically give birth to all Spirits but still, according to her legend, she is the mother of all Spirits and they view her as such. Because the 7 Elder Demon Emperors and other Demons from the Mythical Era appeared greatly in the Legend of the Demon King of Tyranny, that Legend strongly bound them to Avos Dilhevia's service)
Memory and records of the past are the same thing.No, traces include both records and memories.
YesIs this relevant?
We are talking about traces as type 2 information - Information that makes up an object. Whether or not the trace is destroyed does not affect whether the "trace" is type 2 information.
The word 'information' is not necessary to get info 2 something equivalent to would also be enough to qualify, for here that would be legend and rumors as there can't be any legend/rumors without any kind of info. And spirits are made of it. Something that info 1 can't do it.
So, I assume the term information was pushed by the verse supporters ?Not necessarily. Information is a broad term, it's like saying knowledge, lore, or ideas are not Information Type 1 simply because they are never referred to as information. This contradicts the very idea of your suggestion that they are merely Information Type 1. If they qualify as Information Type 1, they also qualify as Type 2 if they have been shown to govern or define reality or a being’s fundamental existence

Like Agnaa said, that's subjective reality which is something they have.Agnaa:

A darkness that blocked all light appeared between them.
“How troubling. I can’t see anything like this,” Graham said.
A fatal squelch could be heard. Graham’s hand had slashed open Luna’s belly.
“Ah...”
Luna fell to her knees and collapsed, keeping her hand over her abdomen protectively.
“The rest is up to you...dear...”
In the next moment, purple lightning shot from the darkness. Gauddigemon pierced through Graham’s heart, with purple lightning rampaged wildly throughout his body. Ceris aimed his strongest destruction magic at Graham’s source.
“Ravia Neold Galvarizen.”
His source was erased under the endless bolts of lightning.
“Well then. See you later,” Graham said cheerily, as though he was heading home after a day out and not currently impaled by a sword, and consequently perished without a trace.
No, he had probably used Gijerica to reincarnate just before he was destroyed. But Ceris ignored that and slowly turned towards Luna on the ground.
Even in the darkness, Abernyu’s gaze stayed fixed on Luna.
“Everything in this world will be destroyed equally.”
The moment her Divine Eyes glinted, Luna’s belly was slashed apart by her gaze.
“Ah...”
Luna fell to her knees and collapsed. But even then, she kept her hands on her abdomen to protect her child.
“The rest is up to you...dear...”
Galian’s darkness was cleared by Abernyu’s Divine Eyes. But a black spot remained behind her. Purple shot out of the spot like a lightning bolt, and Gauddigemon stabbed into Abernyu’s heart.
“Veneziara.”
Ceris drew one spherical magic circle, followed by nine spherical magic circles of possibility within Abernyu’s body.
“Veneziara.”
Fierce purple lightning sparked around the Goddess of Destruction’s body. Ceris slammed his strongest destruction magic at her source.
“Ravia Neold Galvarizen.”
A vast number of purple lightning bolts struck her body, erasing her source.
“The god that governs destruction cannot be destroyed. That’s how order works,” Abernyu said.
The bolts of purple lightning swelled and burst from the god’s body like stars, before vanishing without a trace. The purple world faded back to normal, and silence fell upon them.
“Traces of destruction—Egil Grone Angdroa,” Revalschned said in a deep voice. Flames of doom appeared from the turret of magic circles. The jet-black flames covered the seven-layered spiral and fired with a deafening boom. The next moment, my limbs were weighed down.“Traces of restriction—Gicherge.”Transparent chains appeared out of nowhere and restrained my limbs. No, I was already chained. My body was already restrained by Gicherge as though the past had been altered. Before I could tear the chains apart, the flames of doom closed in on my body and burned me up. Fire that could destroy the world pushed my source closer to its end, but at the same time, my magic grew and grew.
i told him about land of traces and he told me that's too much information for him to wade into, so i didnt get answer for that![]()
![]()
I literally quoted everything I told him above, so if you have some additions to add to the question, tell me.Regarding the spirits thing, it looks like you didn’t present the arguments to him very well, at least based on the screenshot he sent me.
Assuming that even gets accepted as info type 2 to begin with, wouldn't that still mean it's only info type 2 for the source, not the spirit itself?Just to clarify, the source of the spirits is made from the rumors/legends/stories themselves, so this makes the spirit itself Info2.
yea mb i replied before reading that last post of yours lmaoI literally quoted everything I told him above, so if you have some additions to add to the question, tell me.
I still have one Agnaa service question voucher left.
Apparently, the physical body of the Spirit is also formed by beliefs/stories.Assuming that even gets accepted as info type 2 to begin with, wouldn't that still mean it's only info type 2 for the source, not the spirit itself?
