Genshin Impact Discussion Thread

Ye, you seem to have a misunderstanding.

I’ll try and explain it best I can:

When we talk about the “universal of a horse”—horses, then, would simply “imitate” this universal in order to be like it, rather than being formed by it like some substance.

A circle is a circle because “it is like the universal of a circle”. Naturally, all circles then, in order to exist would need to “imitate” this singular universal.

A concept that only belongs to a single circle, then, would not be a universal as circles no longer “imitate” it. Rather, it merely acts as an “essence” for this one circle.

The “CM2 of Space” then, is not CM2 because it has universal range, but rather, all space in the universe “imitates it” in order to exist. It doesn’t actively form that space but merely acts as the ground for that space to exist.

The leylines simply don’t fit this description because nothing is “participating” or “imitating” it. Rather, it holds the fundamental substance (elemental energy) that goes on to form the world. This is just IM2.

And also, the only real difference between CM2 and CM1 is that the CM2 concept would disappear if you removed all things participating in it, whereas the CM1 would not.
Yes, I understand a little of what you're explaining. So, everything must follow these concepts for it to be considered universal, right?

So how do we prove this?
Isn't the only way to prove it that these concepts must support all of reality, which proves that the things in that reality follow these Type 2 concepts, so they can be considered universal?

Thing is that it “depends” on leylines for existence but as a substance rather than participating in it. You can’t “prove it” because its shown that it functions completely differently from a universal to begin with.

Hmmm, a leyline is a concept in itself, not a sub-concept of a Type 2 concept, but a leyline is a Type 2 concept in itself.

Wouldn't changing, creating, or destroying a leyline result in CM2?
 
This is literally one of the main reasons why HSR is getting downgraded (which you agreed with btw)
I agree with it, because I have not found any evidence that the concept supports any reality, perhaps if the opposition could prove this, I would definitely agree with cm1.

You’re just… assuming this.

Imaginary Energy is literally just the same as Leylines but at a much greater scale. That’s it. IE is only even getting CM3 because you can technically make certain conceptual things out of it.

I vaguely recall that leylines contain information and concepts. Just as the ancient clans that supported the Natkan people also originated from leylines.

hmm, alright
 
About the Shades CRT, why don't you guys using Istaroth herself who is way very blatant? That would avoid the circling debate there
 
The special case here is that Istaroth herself, her being literal "Time" itself with bunch of her feats backup with the laws of the heavenly principles already carried this verse into the tier 2.
 
250 comment under a day crt it's hella insane.

I won't read it or will look at it cause we know where it's going, but if there's still doubt about shades or mainly phanes having universal framework

Please read about what is musica mundana (in cn would be good cause it's more clear) and it's authority over "reason" Is

I dont know how they will get low 2c ap due HDE. HDE does not give the character any ap.
 
Alright y'all, i wanna hear your thoughts on this so it would be very helpful if you respond to this. Let's say that this CRT is passed and Low 2-C is accepted, the ones who scales to this is:
  1. Heavenly Principles
  2. Dragon King Nibelung
  3. Four Shades
  4. Five Sinners
  5. Seven Sovereigns
these are god-tiers that will definitely get the scale.

Now, recently in Nod-Krai Archon Quest, we got Rerir who's only at least 10% of his original power. Rerir at his strongest form should be on Low 2-C as he should, now, 10% of infinite is still infinite which is still makes him Low 2-C, and theres a characters like Flins and the Traveler who can keep up with him, do y'all think Flins and the Traveler (his nodkrai key) should get Low 2-C or not because its gonna be outlier?

Nah, 10% shouldn’t be Low 2-C. Fiction in general isn’t consistent with percentages and it’s not like the genshin devs really ever considered that Rerir is equivalent to “10% of a timeline”

This Universe+ rating will cause chainscaling problems indeed.

I have the same thoughts too
 
A summary please, will be hard to find the reasoning here. As far as I see main argument is HDE, Istaroth's manipulations on timeline
Istaroth is the entire timeline itself basically, with the genshin universe being the same as our IRL one, so it fits the standards for Low 2-C whilst being 4D in existence

She's literal "Time" itself and embodying the entire timeline across past present and future, we already got the back up for that by the statement that she's "Every Moment"

And her range is not only in Teyvat, as we got the Authority of Reason or Phanes having universal framework which even more supporting that.

Embodiyng concept should be Abstract Existence or something like that. As for Phanes, if they are universal, why would cover Teyvat with a barrier and isolate it. Their actions a bit contradictive with statements about them. Aslo by universe do we mean leaf of imaginary tree or whole of it? Afaik Hoyo treats the tree as a universe.

Its a massive outlier to scale anyone to low 2-C in general when it comes to evey feat/statement genshin has shown, its only because Istaroth has enough evidence for low 2-C HDE that she can be low 2-C other shades genuenly do not posses that and its only bcs of scaling chain istaroth makes by fighting sovereigns and nibelung that this is possible
for 10% rerir id just scale him far into 6-B

She already got that Abstract Existence obviously.

Ehh, not really, why not anyway and thats not contradicting to the statements.
slo by universe do we mean leaf of imaginary tree or whole of it? Afaik Hoyo treats the tree as a universe.
Leaf World.

In fact I’m planning on removing CM ngl. At least Type 2 that is. But Istaroth gets it for being the temporal dimension itself.

Only characters that completely scale to full-power Istaroth should get the tier. Which honestly makes me kind of sus for the seven dragon sovereigns but eh, maybe they’re even more OP than I thought. Haven’t played the story past Fontaine
 
Ehh, not really, why not anyway and thats not contradicting to the statements.
Still, kinda suspicious to me, maybe this is about being universal within Teyvat? Universal also can mean something for everybody and everything. Aside from that, this is more like conceptual manipulation for me.
Leaf World.
Damn, was about to argue for Hyperversal Flins

Why? Is it gonna be cm1

They got the potential, like Neuvillette himself claiming he's strong enough to judge the rest of a gods and finally the heavenly principles themself.

Nope, i already respond for those who think "its only worldwide in teyvat not literal universal" In that CRT, you should just read everything from the page 3 and onward.
 
Why? Is it gonna be cm1
Well the standards just don’t really fit CM is all, especially when you consider that all the statements about concepts are merely about the Shades imposing certain Laws on Teyvat—not that the universals themselves were created there.

Also Leyline CM2 doesn’t make any sense. At all.

Temporal dimension is 1D. Probably you mean timeline.
We define a temporal dimension here in VSBW as “the set of all spatial snapshots whose cardinality is Aleph 1”.

This is Low 2-C.

Okay.. So let's get the votes

Should the other shades got the HDE too because they resides in the same plane as Istaroth?

Yes:

No: @PedjaTarzan
Only their concepts get HDE. That is, until I try and remove them. After that, it’s only 4D hax.
