I was reading through Homestuck CRT and realized how outdated it is by current standards

So to start, as always, I believe you are knowledgeable how dimensional scaling works generally. Generally how they work and when are valid.
Furthermore, I believe the person who reads this is aware of how tier 1-A works and what are its disqualifiers.
Anyways lets get back to our wank again
Reality Fiction?????? Seriously
This is not Reality > Fiction Transcendance (R > F which we scale to Quality State) to begin with.
First, we can start with something small. They are infinitely larger to their object of transcendence they were supposed to view as "fiction". Why is it relevant? Anyone who knows, from 1-A to above, knows your size is completely irrelevant to something you view as non-existence or fiction, utter and complete nothingness. Whereas infinity or infinitely more is still quantity comparison which is already anti feat. Well you can say by itself it is not anti feat but let's go further and connect whole argument used for R > F.
Moreover, quantity comparison there even literal. “Unimaginably small”, “unimaginably large”, etc.
Not to mention, the worst part, “Reality FIction” there is not literally reality fiction transcendance.
For context they are comparing pictures and pixels as R > F, a “bigger picture” and that “a bigger picture is only a single pixel”.
To put it within an analogy you understand: we know 1080P and 4K contain pixels, yet those pixels are still something in 8K, Infinite P image resolution. This comparison is literally just saying quantity. In larger image they are infinitesmall which is obviously +1D instead of 1A. I believe writers there literally meant characters being infinitesmall instead of seeing them as fiction. Well if they were outside of that pictures probably that might count as "R F"(Which we use where lower world is non-existent) but images in pixels? L-O-L.
Analogies simple: Higher world imagines lower casuality, yet they are pixel in big image(there big image is higher world) and higher world is infinitely larger and vaster to lower one. Meaning lower world isn't non-existent(which is basic qualification for 1-A) but still exists as something in bigger world. This reasoning isn't enough for 1-A
So what I mean there? This analogy is "Universes are like pixels in images where higher world is infinitely vaster and larger to lower one. Hence even if it is R > F this would make them +1-D or higher dimensional analogy where lower world is infinitesmall compared to higher world.
So 1A+ there is just High 1B at best due to quantity R > F.
What about rest? Well…
Well, looking into their original CRT, the argument is this from OP’s own words and links
In textbook it looks like Low 1A, it basically has two things which are to outreach space-time and being all encompassing as the most fundamental layer of reality. it has no mentions of qualitative superiority by stressing a different nature for it over the rest of cosmology or any stressing over an "inaccessibleness" that is by virtue of their "otherness." However if conceptual stuff counts as 1A(idk?) I would suggest it as Low 1A, Possibly 1A. But if conceptual stuff is 1A it should stay at Outer
Moving on, the next thing is Paradox Space.
Same goes for it, if Furthest Ring is ok for 1-A it should stay 1-A, if no , there is no quality superiority anyway
Then we reach the finale of it
Summary of Arguments from both sides:
Supporters: 1, 2 , 3(Third one is for defending 1-A Furthest Ring)
Opponents: 1, 2
So if things are clear we will divide things into proposal
Edit: After reading discussion with supporters I am pretty much convinced Furthest Ring and Paradox Space should qualify for 1-A via reasoning here
Agree with first option: @ItsMeat, @Cipher72
Agree with second option:
Agree with third option: @Deonment (Agrees with Universes being not enough for 1A+ but Ring and Paradox Space should stay at 1A), @Mr._East_Statement, @FoxySonicMaster108 , @Hecky2222, @Vietthai96
Disagree, OP drunk lot: @Maniaunavailable
@FinePoint (Agrees with High 1-A Removal)
Neutral:

Furthest Ring
Now we move on to the next part of reality: The Furthest Ring, home to the Horrorterrors.
It is a infinite void that exists outside of the universes and is completely untouched by their spacetime, the all-encompassing nothingness considered the default reality and the most fundamental layer of the cosmology, with universes, dream bubbles and sessions all being short lived anomalous dream-like irregularities existing as bubbles blown by the horroterrors.
It is also the canvas where the aspects themselves exist on, with the aspects being the source of all concepts, being effectively unseparable due to how mixed and intertwined they are there, to the point where space and time are unreliable and trying to move in one leads you to randomly moving through the other, and considering that it is untouched by the spacetime of universes, then the spacetime there must come from the aspects themselves, and those would be higher levels of space and time due to existing indepedently from the universes that already have them.
In textbook it looks like Low 1A, it basically has two things which are to outreach space-time and being all encompassing as the most fundamental layer of reality. it has no mentions of qualitative superiority by stressing a different nature for it over the rest of cosmology or any stressing over an "inaccessibleness" that is by virtue of their "otherness." However if conceptual stuff counts as 1A(idk?) I would suggest it as Low 1A, Possibly 1A. But if conceptual stuff is 1A it should stay at Outer
Moving on, the next thing is Paradox Space.
Paradox Space
Paradox space's nature is harder to explain due to it being very "subtle" in many aspects thanks to it's role in the story, as in, the characters rarely talk about what paradox space is, they mostly rant about paradox space sucking due to fate and rules being unfair and apathic, fortunately we have bits of information scaterred around, as well as implications.
the main thing to remember is that paradox space is mean't to be the entire the setting of the story, containing everything in existence, being reality itself and the multiverse.
However, there are implications that the events of the comic, including Lord English's entire existence, is one big loop mantained by paradox space, and that said loop is "stitched to the fabric of cyclical reality", as well as being part of the "cyclical, fatalistic prison of the story", and John's freedom from the story is what allows him to fight back against said inevitability.
So it seems like Paradox Space is in fact, a sort of "timeline" for everything inside of it at bare minimun, despite the concept of time, which includes fate and causality, and Doom, which deals with inevitability and rules, being inside of the Furthest Ring which is contained by it, and it's destruction being part of said loop given that Paradox Space still exists after the furthest ring is gone, and the meteor that exists on Earth C being the one Caliborn lives on, and given the nature of said loop and inevitability being tied to the story, it could also be a qualitative superiority, as it would be a loop of the narrative itself.
so Paradox Space is superior to the Furthest Ring as either a hypertimeline (one that's beyond the concept of time which is itself beyond infinite levels of higher fate, causality and stories).
it scales 1 layer into High 1-A.
Same goes for it, if Furthest Ring is ok for 1-A it should stay 1-A, if no , there is no quality superiority anyway
Then we reach the finale of it
Summary of Arguments from both sides:
Supporters: 1, 2 , 3(Third one is for defending 1-A Furthest Ring)
Opponents: 1, 2
So if things are clear we will divide things into proposal
- Giving Furthering Ring a flat out L1-A, with Paradox Space merely being 1 layer into L1-A as it undergo no quality change.
- Giving them “L1-A, possibly 1-A” by sparing them the potential for 1-A
- Ring and Paradox space should be 1-A if Ring qualifies for BDE Type 3(I agree with this option personally)
Edit: After reading discussion with supporters I am pretty much convinced Furthest Ring and Paradox Space should qualify for 1-A via reasoning here
This CRT, effects all the scalings below:
Retcon John Egbert, Davepetasprite^2, Weakened Lord English and Noble Cycle of Horrorterrors = Furthering
Transcedent Feferi Peixes and MSPAReader = Paradox Space
However there are things Op did not elaborated in his previous CRT, which I honestly do not know how to consider within this situation, but for the sake of CRT, we can take them to be true as we have no other way unfortunately.
Lord English, Ultimate selves (Dirk, Rose and Dave), Andrew Hussie, The Blackout (Retcon John Egbert and MSPAReader and Black Hole Alternate Calliope = R>F over Paradox Space
First Guardian MSPAReader = apparentely he has R>F over Dirk and Calliope(???)
Agree with first option: @ItsMeat, @Cipher72
Agree with second option:
Agree with third option: @Deonment (Agrees with Universes being not enough for 1A+ but Ring and Paradox Space should stay at 1A), @Mr._East_Statement, @FoxySonicMaster108 , @Hecky2222, @Vietthai96
