Introduction

Amongst the many hypostaseis of Type Moon, the Swirl of the Root, the Akashic Records and the Greater Universe itself. There is none more complicated than Stellar Hypostaseis, a story of principles far distant from the material world. After all, it is not often that a Celestial Body is considered the 'center' of the universe, from which the universe emerged. After all, the 'hollow' that is the centre of the universe here has already been noted to be the Celestial Egg in Tsukihime: Piece of blue glass Moon, the infinite yet minuscule hollow of the cosmos. A hypostasis is regarded as the only thing that can 'illuminate' or shine throughout the entire universe and its infinite reach. It is no accident that the way in which it shines is much like the Swirl of the Root. An allegory that seems to invoke the same sense of imagery as that of Genesis 1: Let there be light. What Roa calls the 'Lord's love', and what he wishes to define, a fragment of it—of the Soul of the Celestial—of Eternity.

The memories, dreams of the world, and the canopy that covers the entire cosmos: the Celestial Egg. Type/Moon cosmology and power system does not shy away from phenomenological realism and idealism, as a fundamental constituent of reality at all levels, until knowledge terminates at the source of everything. Neither does it shy away from rooting this in philosophical allegory, as Roa explains that the precept of Henosis to achieve true immortality is not something that can be attained as long as one remains human. Something that he himself achieved through his link to the Celestial Egg.

This is because the Celestial is an Eternal principle, and this is only possible because the Celestial has no 'parts' such that it can undergo decay or destruction by natural means. The Celestial Egg has no windows; it is an enclosed and complete system that will be demonstrated and expounded on to be self-contemplative.

Note 1: The 'Celestial' Body has been recently formally distinguished from the 'Planet', although they may be used synonymously; the physical planet we see is but a terminal. This can be derived from the fact that the Chaldeas, an imitative copy of the Soul of the Cosmos, was pursued by the Animusphere family, and that was a pursuit of the 'Celestial Body', not the 'Planet'. And this can be easily demonstrated in the Celestial's parallel-world; parallel versions of Earth exist in every timeline. Which is why it is said that those timelines are a part of the Celestial Body's dreams, and an expansion of them is merely an expansion of the Celestial's dreams. These timelines are managed by the energy of the 'world', and for context world here is the human order. Human order is rooted within the collective will of humanity, seeing as pruning is noted to be the collective will of humanity burning a world as if it were a page, within the Celestial Body (as the Celestial Body is entirely before humanity).

Note 2: The Mooncell is not 'superior' to Avalon, nor does the Celestial Egg within it coexist with. To begin with, we are told that the Mooncell is fundamentally incapable of fully understanding the 'soul', because computation often struggles with translating qualia. This is the reason why even the final antagonist of Fate/Grand Order failed, in an attempt to mimic Eternity through computation, when it could compute feelings to begin with, let alone fully encapsulate the living and self-contemplative nature of the Soul of the Celestial and the Celestial Egg. And so Maris Chaldeas miscalculated several times, making predictions that will inevitably not come true. Nasu foreshadows such a significant progress in technology, a technology that may lay claim to being indestructible in Oblivion Recording. Wherein it is said that even that technology cannot be regarded as 'Eternity', because of the subject and object separation, if there's an observer that can always see its value in a fluctuating manner, then it will never be Eternal. As long as the subject is separate from the external world, it will never reach Eternity; conversely, as long as the subject is unified with the world, that is, subject and object, therein subject will reach its Eternity. So it cannot record Avalon in any real sense, not even the Fantasy Trees could replicate Avalon without degrading its nature and mana density, nothing less than a shadow reflected within the British Lostbelt of the real Avalon. Beyond that, many characters are subordinate to the power of the Original One: Arcueid. Are already a class beyond the Mooncell, for example, even Tamamo-no-Mae could destroy the core of the Mooncell. And beyond that, a 30% Arcueid was noted to be capable of treating the entire Mooncell like her reality marble, and her very existence causes a strain on the Mooncell. As if that wasn't damning enough, the pruning system only affects the Mooncell, because Alaya's (which includes Human Order) continuation of the Pruning System is like a hammer strike of 'the Absolute Observer'. So the observation of Alaya is superior to that of the Mooncell.

Keywords of value to those interested-

Contemplation: Associated with mysticism, and the ultimate process by which mystics achieve their goal (enlightenment). It is the practice of looking inward to abstain from duality. It is an iterative process that sheds the sources of discrimination within the mind. Beginning with perception, hence to abstain from perception of the external world, then to abstain from the usage of language and thoughts, laying bare to silence. To abstain from the ego or the I, which separates oneself from the 'you'.

Henosis: the Neoplatonic equivalent of 'enlightenment', a mystical union with and assimilation into the ultimate reality: the One.

Self-relational: It is simply to exist, such that your 'attributes' cannot be separable from your existence as is. In the context of the ideal of the Inner Sea, the attributes the beings instantiate are not separate components as if they were parts of a whole. Rather, each attribute is numerically identical to the existence of the ideal. That is, a goddess of Goodness is the existence of Goodness and what is thought-in-relation to Goodness in simultaneity, not in-relation to itself. Because in 'thought', it is anything but itself, as Gods were the mysteries of nature and nature as a mystery.

Higher Dimensional Scaling

Note: This is largely inconsequential because most of the Tier 1 scaling is largely based on other reasons.

The problem with higher dimensionality in Type Moon is that it is not linked with the bodies that entities normally use to combat. It is (although not always) commonly associated with spiritual/immaterial bodies; this has been the case as far back as Fate/Stay Night. Where we're told the true form of the Greater Grail is actually immaterial or spiritual. And in Fate/Grand Order, it is clarified that it is something that normally exists in a higher-dimensional phase before materialising in a lower-order dimension. Similarly, the true form of the Soul has been described as existing in a 'higher dimension', casting a shadow of itself from therein. And as we will see, this will come to be significant in demonstrating the purely non-extensional nature of the Soul, as the higher dimension it exists in is the Inner Sea.

Profiles like Goetia's have higher-dimensionality scaling as the basis for their rating, but that scaling does not actually apply to the physical demon God pillars we see. Seeing as those demon God pillars get hurt and defeated by servants.

Examples:

Including all demon God pillars, but more dauntingly, the main body of Goetia has its hand cut by Nero with a casual attack.

Contrary to that, beings that are actually higher-dimensional in a combat-applicable sense (at least as we've been shown narratively) can't be harmed by attacks from servants whatsoever unless special authorities are invoked that bypass dimensional discrepancies through conceptual advantages.

Example:

BB Hotep actually gains access to more dimensions than the three, and throughout the fight, we don't even scratch her whatsoever. It is only after MHXX uses her noble phantasm, which has a conceptual advantage against outer gods (one of the beings that bestowed BB Hotep that power by synchronisation), that she can take away her authority and her higher-D advantage.

Goetia has more to his existence than just the Avatars, to begin with. We are told that the Demon God pillars we see are ones that took physical form, of which originally, they are without. Yet the system called 'Goetia', which is regarded as higher dimensional (of his own admission), is something that can exist independent of 'flesh' and 'blood', in essence as a higher dimensional lifeform. So, it becomes clear that how he is higher dimensional should be recontextualised. When it is said that Goetia is higher-dimensional and transcendent, it refers to this:

I was omnipotent.
It was not omnipotence possessed because Solomon created me thus.
We were originally born of Distortions within the activities of the human psyche --
a Collective of Demon Gods (魔神, Majin, lit. "jinn") which had obtained Names and Powers.
I was from the beginning a Transcendent One,
and when We were become, omnipotence and omniscience were had.

Source: Temple of Time, Solomon— Fate Grand Order.

Goetia, in their conceptual forms, are beings that embody distortions within the activities of the human psyche. In fact, we are told explicitly by Goetia himself there that he was born transcendent and omnipotent insofar as he was the embodiment of those distortions. This is actually parallel to the higher-dimensional nature of Divine Spirits and Gods, but that will remain to be seen over time.

Proposal 1: There should be a key separate from just "Goetia" but him as a conceptual entity, that is, that which is higher dimensional.

Miscellaneous: Goetia (not just the avatars) are also the entire temple of time itself. Which exists within the imaginary space, consequently it is beyond the material world, isolated from the time axis, beyond space-time and described as higher-dimensional.

Divine Spirits

Autonomy

Similarly, Divine Spirits have been called higher-dimensional and said to exist in higher-dimensions. But it should be noted that, Divine Spirits originally are just nature and embody aspects of nature, primarily of the Reverse Side of the World (as taxonomically aligned to the world and not wisdom like humanity), which will be covered later. Ishtar says her higher-dimensional self is distinct from the pseudo-servant, and she makes it clear that normally Divine Spirits are also purely conceptual—embodying certain ideas and parts of nature. In fact, we also get told Divine Spirits because they are normally just 'nature', they need preexisting physical bodies to materialise in lower-dimensions.

Power
In spite of losing their 'higher-dimensional' status, Divine Spirits are described as having (at full power and with their full authority):

“We only know how to fool the world. They had the power to rewrite it however they wish. That is how powerful Divine Spirits are. Of course, they could only wield a fragment of the gods’ powers, but they were still far more powerful than we can ever aspire to be. Some of their spells are similar to the Ten-Count spells we use to deceive the world, but they are still fundamentally different. You could say that we are entire dimensions behind them. They were capable of changing the world with a single word by simply invoking the gods.”
Which discusses how mages from the Age of Gods could use a fragment of the AOG magecraft of the Divine Spirit; which, the AOG magecraft of the Divine Spirit by itself is said to be entire dimensions beyond the modern era magecraft.

“Yes,” Faker said. “It’s honestly shocking. Magecraft in this era hasn’t just fallen behind by a couple of steps. It’s already an entire dimension away. The only reason why they even managed to bother us is that they don’t have the same goals. I don’t have any idea how many more tricks that Aozaki has hidden up her sleeve.”

This sentiment is expressed and repeated numerous times, with the obvious implications of "dimensions above our modern era magecraft" being in reference to the AOG magecraft currently being a phenomenon within the higher-dimensional space known as the reverse side of the world.

Which is also gonna be relevant in the expansion of Divine Spirit scaling.

Footnote: Not every Divine Spirit that descends from the would have access to their full authority (basically a type of magecraft from the AOG in its own right). This is made abundantly clear once you consider that members of the goddess alliance had varying access to their full authority; they have fragments of their divine powers. Between Ishtar and Ereshkigal, who were the complete opposite of Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl was noted to be different from them both, a fully flashed goddess with her full authority and output in tandem.

A display of her full authority is exemplified in her feats. When she fights Chaldea's part, consisting of Ishtar and a few other servants, she just has to come out unscathed. And with even some of her authority being snuffed after defying her contract, she releases two attacks that exemplify her no less than half of her full on output. One that burns Tiamat's mud, described as fourth-dimensional, unconventionally, of course, for the Imaginary Number Space is bereft of the laws of physics and any element; nevertheless, the mud was something that by that time only the bands of light could rival at the time. Then proceeds to go at Tiamat directly, bypassing several of the barriers she herself set up, cracking Tiamat's horn.

Proposal:

Higher-dimensional scaling is used on a case-by-case basis.
Only Divine Spirits who will get Tier 1 are confirmed to have full access to their authority, without collapsing their SG. Or ones that already chain scale to divinities atleast on par with the aforementioned.

Refining Dimensionality in Type Moon

Transcendence between Dimensions

Humans are described by BB as having only access to three-dimensions. And the first real exposition we become receptive to, with respect to dimensional theory, comes from Fate/Extra CCC. Rin Tohsaka explains that lower-dimensional spaces are embedded in higher-dimensional spaces, such that additional degrees of movement render a phenomenological experience of lower-dimensional spaces as flat scrolls.

She expands on this figuratively, by likening the third-dimension to a book, such that from the perspective of higher-dimensional entities looking down from above. They could see the entire book as one; that is, observe the past, present and future equivocally. Humans, bound by the three-dimensions, only see the book discretely, or page by page, whilst the higher-dimensional entities have a view of every page of the book or rather the entire book itself, in simultaneity.

We get further analogues in Tsukihime: Piece of Blue Glass Moon. When Arcueid flattened the surface texture into 2-dimensions with her authority, which has been confirmed to be composed of three-dimensions and one dimension of time. What was left of the once third-dimensional world is described as "mere shadows".

Higher Dimensional Beings

Besides the earlier example I gave with BB Hotep as a being truly with access to higher-dimensions, who then became invulnerable to lower-dimensional attacks. At the end of the (true) Ciel Route, Roa describes a story of a woman who succeeded in ascension; the story of Kiara kissyoin which parallels the story of Kiara Sessyion in Extra CCC. He says, she attained higher-dimensional senses (not existence), which alone is enough to make her "all-powerful" in lower-dimensions.

Because her existence never fully ascended, her body was still confined to lower dimensions, a mere sense of higher-dimensional made her functionally omnipotent in her own dimension. Kiara was regarded as but a speck of dust to those so-called truly higher-dimensional beings. Paradoxically, in realising the perception of transcendence, she realised the perception of her own insignificance and cast away access to the sense of higher-dimensions.

Thus, besides the BB Hotep sections. We have also been shown that higher-dimensionality provides inherent invulnerability to anything that is not of a sufficient rank of power (in mystery, but that'll be explained later) or that does not have access to the same level of dimension.

Examples:

When Arcueid outputted event conversion at her base form, she flattened everything that was confined by four-dimensions. We are explicitly told, actually, that her target was the fourth dimension of the surface texture; the 2-dimensionalisation of it. But Ciel's weapon was invulnerable to that, specifically because it came from the same higher-order dimension as that of Arcueid: the Inner Sea of the world.

With sufficient mystery as well, like the principle of another Dead Apostle Ancestors, at that level, they could resist it. But for magecraft barriers like Roa's, that author was described by him as being "naught but paper" to her.

[*]In the first thread here that was accepted, I made a case for dimensional anti-realism. To show how the Root being called "the pinnacle of dimension" need not render it as a Low 1-A principle, in effect, that still applies to the cosmos, not just to the Root, for a lot of reasons, as will be shown. Mash explains that dimensions aren't a qualification of 'realms'. That is, when we say the words "higher dimensional" or "lower dimensional", we are ascribing no explicit substance or ontology to that term. They are tools humans use to model changes as they experience within reality, but those descriptions don't assign any ontological delimitation to every mention of "dimension" as topological. This will also be shown to be thematically consistent within several other depictions of higher-dimensional realms in Type Moon; the Root is but cream in the top. Considering that, despite being called the pinnacle of dimension, we are explicitly told dual distinctions like space-time dissolve into a singular flow that has nothing but itself. Even for subjects who seemingly experience it, don't do so as a separable thing, as if it is an object of perception. But they experience the Root as purely themselves, as bereft of multiplicity, all of which I explained in this thread here:

Gray, in experiencing the Root, was already freed from physical constraints. As her soul underwent a diffusion, stretching beyond its limits — the mind, body, space and time bled into one another, tangled, unifying and dissolving threads amidst zero. Therefore, even assuming the claim that it exists at the summit of dimensional theory is true (inasmuch as it is the summit of transcendence), within the Root, there is no division between space and time.

With the cited evidence being:

Freed from the constraints of a physical vessel, my spirit and soul had begun to stretch beyond their limits, amplifying my true abilities. Perhaps that was why— At this moment, I could see it. Inside the vortex. A space where mind, body, time, and space bled into one another like tangled, dissolving threads. And within it—an incomprehensible record, spreading outward.

Proposal: Dimensions will be considered not on the basis of arbitrary ordering nor necessary inherence to mathematical structure (topology, geometry, topos and the like). But considering what grade of ontology constitutes them, this will be shown to be extremely relevant later on, as a motivation for representing certain realms as they ought to be.

Procession

In Type/Moon cosmonogy is, non-dual fundamentalism is a central feature of reality, which is integrated both phenomenologically and in an idealistic sense. And the dialect of immediacy and mediation, the supernatural and natural, knowing Being and having Being begins with emptiness as the middle way and zero between [unified] the two. Mages chase the past, science chases the future—but they all chase zero for the beginning and end curve into unity at kara no kyoukai (boundary of emptiness).

To science, emptiness is described as something impossible to exist in any sense within the material world, yet in spite of that bestows explanatory power to existing phenomena. Knowing begins from unknowing, and why is there something rather than nothing? There's nothing, rather there's something.

On Procession

The only permanent principle within all creation is what is described as “the beginning and end of all things” simpliciter. Which, conversely, can be written as “the only permanent principle is the principle that bestows impermanence”, the beginning and end of everything: the truth that everything begins and therefore ends. This doesn't render an understanding of emptiness as a 'canvas' of possibilities, everything that is, existing and evolving within it, until it reaches its end. No, here the beginning and end of all things is understood as 'unity'. If Origins are an unchanging and eternal recording of how a particular 'Being' will face the tides of becoming, and therefore pure activities of all things they supervene over in the world of becoming. It stands to reason that they are entirely beyond becoming altogether, which is why Touko describes them as beyond—yet a source of flux (becoming). Then it should stand to reason that there is a conglomerate of them; this is understood as a singular perfect record of all things as they begin and end, to whom they are but a dream to the Akashic Records. Therein, Origins are unified into a single complete activity stated to just be 'existence' itself, such that it shares no relation of predication (univocally) to all attributes ascribed to it. We understand this to be the case, because it is said that in death, what occurs in reality is that the Soul's perception of the material world 'diffuses', returning to orient itself/revert to the Origin that governs it. And because they are already unified with the Akashic Records, the soul comes to experience the ultimate reality derivatively.

And Gray alongside Ryougi gain an experience of the end of the world, in a non-dual lens. Gray described the existence of an incomprehensible record as a 'flow' that is both nothing, everything and ultimately herself as both nothing and everything—an undivided flow: three distinctive modes of apprehending it.

Everything: All things are moved in relation to the direction from the Akashic Records, all things are fulfilled by such teleonomy; it is everything such that it is everything fully realised. That is, existence is already determined and that existence is also simultaneously the record of all knowledge; perfect knowledge as being.
Nothing: It is nothing in particular, for it is opposed [that is, pre-multiplicity] to multiplicity—yet the source of it. At the level of the Akashic Records, multiplicity is dissolved into a single unified.
Herself: There is no metaphysical distinction between the perfection of her particular activities and the perfection of all particular activities therein. Herself as the indivisible essence of existence, the Origin: the True Self.

TL;DR: Formal Distinctions put forth

The Root (proper/emptiness): transcends activity, directionality and intelligibility. Understood from the perspective of finite beings, it is the pure flow and fullness, where all phenomena flow eternally from the source of existence beyond even the Akashic Records.
The Akashic Records (Origin of Emptiness) is Pure Activity, the unity of all pure energeiai and activities. The observer or thinking-subject and the observed, the object-thought, are unified; the intellection of a particular it governs through the cycle of transmigration and what shapes its existence.
Origins are pure energeiai, intellections (in other words, activity) and existence of a particular it governs and permeates through the cycle of transmigration and the source of its existence. They represent the 'True Self' that remains unified with the Ultimate Reality.
True Emptiness or「」the nameless essence (or lack of thereof) of the Root, phenologically speaking, it defers to the Root understood as-it-is. And phenomenologically speaking, it confers non-dual recognition—such that therein the distinction between direction and what is without dissolves; transcendence and immanence as reconciled into silence.

Note: This explanation of procession will be extremely relevant going forward; keep that in mind. For this, it is extremely relevant to the next accounts for the significance of True Magic.

And from thereof, proceeds the one universe—all of creation:

Elsa: (Un. It suits me well.) All towns are the same.
All countries are the same.
Elsa had noticed that there isn’t a perfect foreign land, in this world.
The actual feeling was alright.
She had seen many people, as she had already circled various countries as a news camerawoman which was her official position. Palestine, Ireland, each of the countries in Central and South America, and Cambodia.
She had crossed many people, see many kids, and missed many lives.
There was only one world, wrapped up in all creation that was said to have arisen from the spiral of the “root” according to mages which included her father.
Rejoicing in alcohol and delicious dishes, laughing, talking together with her friends, and the lovely children who were always in high spirits――――
That is wrapped up by the Root, but as it proceeds outward what ought to be the 'same'—same towns, same cities; is now disparate. It is what Roa refers to as 'Eternity', atleast an Eternity of its own. It is different from the manner by which the Root answers to the term 'Eternity', but it represents it by Eternal unfolding. You see, the Akashic Records is the "beginning" and "end" of everything unified. But beyond it, everything flows eternally from the Root (proper):
It only pours forth causes endlessly—something like a primordial vortex at the root of all things.

Source- Fate/Prototype Volume 4 - Act I

And so, if it follows that causes flow from the Swirl of the Root, it follows that directions are without end. That principle is reflected in the world of becoming, exemplified by the infinite expansion and evolution of the entire [greater] universe as the totality of existence as directed by the throne of God: the Akashic Records. And within that Eternal expansion and becoming of the universe, there are such things known as "Celestial Eggs". Under normal circumstances, those things are not considered Eternal and the like; they are produced naturally by the universe and collapse on themselves when bereft of something to illuminate and animate them.

What exists as the precondition for their being comes to be Anima Mundi. A soul that exists in a particular sector of the [greater] universe:

Normally, the "soul" (魂, tamashii)—which governs the internal workings of stars (天体, tentai) and the long-term maintenance of celestial bodies (運命, unmei)—is confined within the star. The fate (運命, unmei) that allows a star to exist, governed by time (時間, jikan), space (空間, kūkan), and causality (因果, inga), is what we define as the "soul."

The soul is that which governs the internal workings of a Celestial Body; it is also what allows a Planet to come to exist, in a manner governed by the fate, time, space and causality it grounds. This exists before the Celestial Body even comes to be. What is present before the formation of the Celestial Body? When a Celestial Egg is in its proximity, it is animated and thereby meets all of the conditions for it to become a Celestial Body; to be exact, the heart of the Celestial Body. After the Celestial Egg is animated, both it and the cosmic soul, properly addressed as Anima Mundi, come to be referred to as synonymous.

But the relationship between the two is like the human body to its soul. As we know, the Cosmic Soul is that which the Celestial Egg depends on for its appropriate formation and maintenance. Yet it is the Celestial Egg that gives the Cosmic Soul a doorway to expressing its energeiai. Which is why the Celestial Egg is referred to as a fragment of Eternity, and the "Lord's love" to whom Roa refers as the Princess of the True Ancestors— Arcueid. She herself, on the other hand, has the Celestial Egg as her frame or something equivalent to the vessel of the world soul. But in essence, she is the Anima Mundi of Earth, and if the Celestial Egg is called the fragment of Eternity, the Princess has been referred to as Eternity itself multiple times.

And this psychic channel within the souls of Celestial Bodies proceeds into the Celestial Egg and Body. And at the same time, it reverts back to the [greater] universe. Just as the human soul will be shown to exist within the World Egg, such that its thoughts revert to the end of the universe, because its way of knowing is 'remembrance' proceeding to the material and reverting back to the Inner Sea (the end of the world). And this is only possible because mankind doesn't accumulate knowledge of the Inner Sea; they instead forgot the laws of the Inner Sea. Therein, in death, the soul returns to the Inner Sea, which is in phenomenological harmony with the Root, or at the very least considered even a path to the Root. Likewise, Anima Mundi reverts to the universe, hence why it's capable of communion with other Celestial Bodies in spite of also dreaming beings of its own Celestial Body as it proceeds or directs its activity towards animating the Celestial Body. Because, as Souls of the Cosmos, oriented towards the greater universe, all Ultimate Ones share the same scale of existence and hence are capable of communion as a result of phenomenological symmetry. That is the symmetry of subjective experience, as a result of ontological equivalence, something extremely significant in the context of an idealistic cosmos like Type Moon. Contrary to Ultimate Ones, humans are simply far too fickle to even perceive, commune, let alone sense the Celestials' phase of life and scale of existence. This, however, is not the story of the physical world quite yet; it is a story of the heavens, the afterlife and paradise, the Inner Sea of the Planet. The Inner Sea of the Planet is a conglomerate of paradise across all mythology, or loosely speaking, the 'heavens'. The Inner Sea of the world is the resting place of the Celestial Egg [soul]. It is where the heart of the Celestial Egg sleeps, whereof it begins dreaming, a place, as the ground of intelligibility, is paradoxically beyond human comprehension.

Nature of the Inner Sea

The Nature of the Inner Sea: Ontological

The True Reality and its Shadow

In the world of becoming, a Planet dreams itself through its creatures. These dreams are graded to differing degrees, the surface texture relative to the Inner Sea, wherein the Archetype dreams. It is, in fact, said that the Archetype in Proper Human History constantly dreams of the surface texture. Arcueid herself separates the version of herself within the Inner Sea from the manifestations of herself in the material world and its parallel worlds. Within the Inner Sea, she is just a dreamer and no more, and she dreams of the versions of herself that exist in the material world across all parallel worlds from beyond. This is further qualified in mytho-poetic imagery, the conception of the material world as a shadow illuminated by the light of the True Reality.

“In short, you humans have become the representatives of the planet, but you guys can be rolled up like a thin layer of cloth. What do you do when you have a piece of cloth that's about to blow away in the wind?

Source: Garden of Avalon

Unlike the Inner Sea, as will be seen. The material world or surface texture is an entirely contingent and ontologically impure reality. So much so that it requires another just to remain anchored to the very Celestial Body with which it depends. Without that anchor, it is so transient as to be that which can be blown away by wind (figuratively speaking, of course).

Its contingent nature is further exemplified in a few passages after:

“The directionality———mentality of the intelligence that humans obtained wished to illuminate the darkness of "uncertain laws." As a result, it appears that the planet's rules have altered into "laws optimized for the survival of humans.

The surface texture or the material world initially existed in Prime Matter or pure indeterminacy prior to being illuminated, which is why it needed an anchor to depend on such that it would illuminate the material world and make certain of the otherwise uncertain laws of it. The planet optimised its rules to facilitate that, and what would come to animate and illuminate the surface was:

If it's going to be peeled off, you stitch it in a place so that cannot happen. Like that this texture of the world where you humans live is anchored to this planet by the Holy Lance. The Lance that shines to the Ends of the World. The pillar that guards the Apex Species.”

Rhongomyniad, in its true form, not as a shadow, otherwise manifests in the material world as a weapon. It is a Holy Lance that the material world anchors itself into, as it nurtures and sustains its reality. It is that which shines and illuminates to the ends of the material world; or rather, that shines and illuminates the entire material world.

The Inner Sea of the world in Proper Human History (which exists inside of it) is an archetypal plane of existence — a type of reality that can be likened to a reality marble (mental plane) of the Planet itself. The realm is considered the 'true reality' that subsists beneath (beyond) the surface texture. Goddess Rhongomyniad likens it to the 'true face of earth' unmasked, held together by the tower at the end of the world, with which the manifestation of it as Rhongomyniad in the surface texture is a shadow that the tower casts upon the world.

Compared to the world of man, which is transient, the age of gods as subsisting within the Inner Sea of the world is an era of eternal cycles. This is because, comparatively to the surface texture, the inner sea can be seen as the 'truth' underlying a much more transient/illusory manifestation of itself. So, beyond being described as the true reality, the Inner Sea is also considered beyond change. Time does not pass within it, and wholly beyond the cycles of creation and destruction that occur within the surface texture.

Miscellaneous Implications

You can compare the Inner Sea to a substance, as a bearer of accidents. Such that the world of becoming/change as the surface texture, is attached to a substance that underlies its continuity from beneath it (regarded as locally beyond, but metaphysically 'beneath').
The material manifestation of the tower is the weapon Rhongomyniad, which is considered a shadow cast upon surface texture by the tower at the end of the world. In that same vein, it will follow in of itself that the surface texture where the weapon manifests as a shadow, is by itself considered a shadow of the true reality. Which in this case, is the inner sea accordingly.

Quantitative and Liberation from Extensionality

The Inner Sea is a purely archetypal world, a world of pure spiritual phenomena and a mental plane.

They are merely unable to liberate themselves from their physical ties. They can't take on the form of a spirit as fairies can. As a result, they are unable to migrate to the Reverse Side of the World and have to remain on surface in this condition.

Source: Garden of Avalon Chapter 2 - Starlight

Despite being designated as a higher-dimensional plane, ascension to the Inner Sea involves no additive quantitative stacking. It is not unreachable for it has "x independent directions", it is unreachable from the material [surface] world of qualitative asymmetry:

It is not sufficient quantitative measure and extension that bestows one the natural rights to inhabit the archetypal world; it is precisely the quality of being immaterial and abstract that facilitates one's ascension to the Inner Sea. Precisely because it is completely beyond material composition, in fact, even stated to be completely removed from the laws of physics, as those are only relevant to the material [surface] world. The Inner Sea has been described as a conceptual domain, and it is in virtue of all of the aforementioned that particular parts of it, like Avalon, have the attribute of being an absolute defence against any physical interference and interaction:

Celestial Hierarchy (Planetary Gradation)

As Soul, the principle by which the activity of its own projects outward the surface texture as a dream of itself. And in virtue of that, as Eternity [Soul] the Planet it is fully realised—it embodies preconditional necessity. Cosmic Soul(s) of the greater universe are the source of order, whereas without it, the Celestial Egg as pure potency collapses like waves assimilating once more into the tides of the sea; as endless and free production. It is not that without Soul(s) there is no order, but order within Soul is more determinate than order without Soul.

Key Words

Determination: A determination is a particular way a being is qualified, characterised with regard to the attributes it possesses. When tangled with the adjective "perfect", it refers to the perfection of a particular qualification or attributes.

Mediation: Mediation refers to knowledge not purely 'as is', but filtered through a medium. Typically, through language, representation—reality not in a raw state but through interpretive frameworks.

Immediacy (pre-mediation): Immediacy is knowledge as direct experience and bereft of the mediums of mediation, such as language and interpretation. An example of this is certain truths or experiences that are self-evident. Think, the law of identity, which only asserts that "a thing is itself", the thing-in-itself as it is, without the impurities of discrimination and complexity.

Substance: What lies beneath manifestation, underlying the continuity of the appearance of existents.

Energei (plural: Energeiai): As before, it refers to a fully realised state of an existent, its activity in fulfilment of its nature. Similarly, when described of the Akashic Records, Pure Energeiai describes beings or realities that are only actual and bereft of potency. Beings of the Inner Sea, those of pure soul and pure consciousness—the ideal, exhibit these traits relative to the material world. This perfection is a derivative from the Soul of the Cosmos, which in turn borrows its Eternal nature and perfection from the Akashic Records.

Ultimate One/Original ONE

Ultimate Ones or "Anima Mundi", the cosmic soul(s), filter the free production that occurs within the eternal unfolding of the [greater] universe. In the same way, Rhongomyniad serves as the pillar that encompasses, illuminates and sustains the surface texture. So too, are Ultimate Ones the canopy that covers/permeates the entire Celestial Body (its own cosmos), the firmament that covers their entire cosmos. The Ultimate Ones are noted to be the beginning of the Celestial Body, and the realisation of all the cycles of its respective species. In other words, the Original Fantasy of everything and the essence denunciation of its species. Because of that, it is the conglomerate of all perfections within the Celestial Body, as will be seen.

The intelligible beginning and end of everything, whereas the Greater Universe is the Chaotic beginning and end of everything. Mirroring the relationship between the hypostaseis, the Root and the Akashic Records, the cause of all causes and the first intelligible order of causation: the cause of all causes without end; and the first cause and final cause. A testament to its connection to the Root [Akashic Records], both ontologically and phenomenologically.

Ontological Attributes of Ultimate Ones

Manifested (derivative of their nature, unmanifested)

The Original One is perfect and without limits in nature. It is said that Arcueid, as the avatar of the Cosmic Soul, is perfected by it and is without limits as a result of it. So much so that she has absolutely no causes of death, even from the perspective of Mystic Eyes of Death possessed by Tohno. The perfection is borrowed and is a derivative of the Eternity of Anima Mundi, which is why she may have certain degree of limits on the part of the vessel she inhabits. But, as nature [unmanifested], she is truly without limits.
All fluctuations of the surface [material] belong to it, to be the nurturer and the confiscator of life, its natural rights, or appropriately speaking, in a more metaphysical sense.
Invulnerability to magecraft, in virtue of all phenomena of their cosmos imitating what already belongs to them. It is impossible to harm the Original One at full power, with an imitation of itself.

The Celestial Egg (Intermediatory)

Nature fundamentally operates on a logical system; it operates by necessity, not deliberation; it is bereft of 'individuality/particularity' and sense of individuation. Consequently, however, it is incapable of exercising freedom expressed in all that which has 'entity-hood'. Luminary, which is the manifestation of Planet's Being given quasi-particularity, is said to be incapable of motion and is utterly divorced from the concept of life.

Its manifestation is described as a perfection, albeit of course derivatively as well. When the Celestial Egg manifests as the Original One's vessel and restraints are removed, the Celestial Egg subtly leaks into the material world, manifesting as an ether/light-form. At this level, the will of the Original One's output is raised maximally, but its imperfections (thereby making her weaker) are magnified, and it becomes one rank lower than it was.

This is in accordance with the idea that expressive output herein implies a degradation of ontological coherence and reality to tell a story about how wrong reality is upon the Celestial Egg's energy manifestation without limits. After all, it is said that the manifestation of the luminary/Archetype: Earth/Original One, in that manner, without limits, the world begins to distance itself from the manifestation, space does not expand, but the world moves completely away from the luminary so as to distance itself from it. Reality becomes a conveyor belt, retreating beyond out of respect and awe for her existence, expanding without changing physical size or physical shape. Later on, it also becomes clear that any reception of the Celestial Egg's causal power without any filter or restraints is unstable, overtime gains excess imperfections, goes from being a system to being an individuality; thereby becoming capable of life and by extension dead.

As time goes by, and the Original One doesn't return to its body, it obliterates the ego it garnered through inhabiting its vessel. This is because Luminary is not a combat apt vessel, but is apt for regeneration. It is meant to recreate the original body of the True Ancestor; this is also why it is incapable of motion, because, as a perfect system, it has no need for such. The Light Body is meant to converge and become a physical body once more, of the True Ancestor. And to possess that original physical body is to possess selfhood and individual identity. But luminary as a system eventually collapses in-of-itself, because it is not meant to have an identity nor individuality as a system, its consciousness over time gradually merges with Nature itself, and it disperses as energy. The extremities of what the Original One did in Tsukihime, turning a system into an independent lifeform, would've resulted in the erasure of her existence entirely. Because another different function of the Light Body is not to return to the Original, but to be reborn as a stronger individual. That restriction does not apply to that function, but it only does upon the destruction of the current "Princess Arcueid", and she begins to act as a new and more powerful True Ancestor. But the Arcueid who existed until that destruction, her ego-itself ceases to be.

With Marble Phantasm

[*]Fantasy Manifestation is the ability of the Avatar of the World, the capacity to sync your will with the world at the level of the Celestial Egg, as the Avatar carves its will into the memories of the world in the Inner Sea. From this, the Avatar can rewrite the surface texture according to their desires. Her 'will' not only influences the very world itself, but even the agents of the world like humans; they can command inhabitants of the surface texture like humans by dissolving their ego as it gets swept by a greater ocean: the Anima Mundi.

Phemenological

Procession

As will be explored in the process of reaching the Root, it will be demonstrated that the Celestial Egg and the Anima Mundi are all connected to the Root, in virtue of the scale of their contemplation. By its sheer ontic excess, that which constitutes our understanding of its concealment and the necessity of its withdrawal from the material world, it is considered True Magic-itself. After all, the Soul of the Cosmos (Soul as Celestial Egg) exists in paradise, which goes by many names—the Garden of Eden, Utopia, Tir na nog and Avalon. Avalon being its most common denomination, the aforementioned is noted to be 'True Magic' itself, and as seen before, it is something that is considered an absolute defence; isolating the user in a world concealed from material interactions, parallel worlds and communion.

It's a realm considered incomprehensible to mankind, something that can never be attained by intelligent creatures. And it is so perfect that any conceivable paradise that humans can think of is but a poor imitation of this realm. A realm that is frequently touted as being 'unknown', when one so much as desires to calculate them, such that not even the atlas institution can calculate them. It is in this way, more unqualifiable by coordinate systems than the Imaginary Number Space is. A vast and chaotic space that has coordinates that shift, and incidentally an ambient space that exists outside, between and therefore within all eras of human history exists within. We know this to be the case because the void element, or in other words, the imaginary number space, is an element of the power of the Original Goddess. Signifying the chaotic ocean, and sea of nothingness that existed before all life on the Planet. Ontologically, it is a realm second only to the heavens, that is, Avalon and the age of Gods textures, but in authority, it signifies something greater. Nevertheless, because it is such an ambient space, a space that acts as a field of relations between timelines, it is unobserved and underdetermined. And we know it acts as an ambient space of relations because Musashi, in travelling between lostbelts (two distinct eras), must pass by it, as it exists between, within and beyond the lostbelt. A travel compared to ascending from and falling into a higher dimension into the lower dimension. Human order simply has no awareness of its existence, remaining concealed in an effect skin to quantum randomness, when the observers don't exist, all things can be hypothesised, and so nothing is true but all theories within the Imaginary Space. An observer cannot create itself; it must be observed, and what is observing cannot be an observer nor the observed. It is compared to the primordial chaos, the mother of all possibilities—and likewise coordinates. In-of-itself it doesn't have coordinates for it is stuck in quantum uncertainty, but with respect to human order, all that means is that it can appear at any coordinate. And any coordinate of it can appear anywhere in human order; it contains all such possibilities and is irreducible to them because it is unobservable. Infact it is stated to possess a set of all logical coordinates, and so it is appropriate to regard it as a modal space. Naturally, it has no fixed coordinates, distance, direction and time; all of these are random, shifting at a whim; like a sea that carries all timelines into their respective branch in possibilities or probability. Chaldea must go through this, under the denomination "storm wall" in Grand Order, to travel between eras. And so they begin by calculating the distance between this era and the coordinate in space-time and the next era, thereafter submerging within the chaotic space. Instruments begin to fail in determining coordinates and distance, of which paper comes to be of use by "unifying all coordinates". Therefore, the Inner Sea is also beyond and bereft of coordinate/extensional attribution simpliciter. Made to be an intrinsic predication, as it's reaffirmed by the Archetype/Original One of the cosmoses: Arcueid. The Being who knows all the history of its species before it even occurs, a Being where all things are remembered within her dream, a Being who does nothing by contemplate and can never forget what has been produced by its living contemplation; for it cannot become what is other than its contemplation—her knowledge is numerically identical to her existence; she cannot be other than that which contemplates manifestation, because there's no ontological at her level of what appears and what she is. But what appears as she is, is not manifestation but the concealed—a formless shape of all things and atomic structure of genesis. Because of that internal relation, the Archetype in spite of being formless, can come to possess a living (avatar) vessel. In dreaming through not only itself, but all manner of creatures that come to exist in it, can come to know its own shape through the maturity of its sapient and primate species. It is where all becoming's are not, for they have all been realised, where all things unfold and fold back into the potential of all living perfections and the actualisation of all living perfections; where all things begin (unfold) and return back (fold).

Phenomenological attributes of the Original One

The Original One, manifested as the Celestial Egg from the World Soul, has a dual activity, its Inner Activity being the reality of the Inner Sea and its External Activity being the projection of the Surface Texture from itself as the True Being to which all things imitate.
Archetypal Beings like Heroic Spirits, Divinities and Fairies are all logoi and determinations of the Inner Activity of the Celestial Egg; graded as will be seen by the causal generality of the logoi. This is the dream seen by the Planet of itself as its reality, that is, the contemplation of the world—as it looks inward onto itself, reflecting itself as itself and no more; the Celestial-as-it-is and the Celestial-as-such.
The External Activity of the Celestial is the creatures of its world of manifestation, a derivative of the True Reality—the Inner Sea of the Cosmos. This is the world itself, dreaming through its creatures of the surface, for example, with Earth being the planet as humanity dreaming itself through itself. This will be explained in the gradation of Celestial Beings section.
The Activity of the archetypal Beings is self-referential, self-evident and self-articulate. As will be seen, they do not act on what is external to them; they act on what they have natural rights over as exemplifying their given aspects of reality. Of which unmanifested is what their essence is, as will be seen.
The Activity of the beings of manifestation (surface/material world) is always external; humans, for example, always act in pursuit of something else they lack, a given actuality or perfection. This is exemplified in the surface texture being constituted by human order (common sense/mediation), for humans' knowing and existence are separable principles. Humans know something by externalising it as 'that' thing, through sense-data and the conceptualisation of all things through rational means. To know for humanity is to remember what they already were; humanity was not born without knowledge of the ideal: the laws of the Inner Sea; they merely forgot those laws. This paradox will be explained further in the termination of immediacy: birth from the Original Sin section.

Planetary Logoi (Divinities)

Cosmic role

Divine Spirits and Gods exemplify a sense of omnipotence beyond magecraft, a derivative or, rather shadow of what it once was as「True Magic」; not simply powered by mystery but mystery itself. Originally, Gods had a two-fold nature, them in their bodies and them essentially as archetypal aspects of the world—at the level of the「True Reality: Inner Sea」and thereby are determinate perfections of the Soul of the Cosmos. The worship of Gods for as long as they lived was the worship of nature itself, before even becoming purely archetypal (Divine Spirits). And the manifestation of a God was considered a given concept of the True World, given 'ego' and personified. They are “personifications” of nature, with respect to the Inner Sea.

Attributes of the Divinities

Substance

And in their formless essence as pre-mediated and pre-ego, Gods share the same substance as that of the Planet itself. The True Fifth Element, which is called True Ether, a life force [mana] considered qualitatively beyond an imitation of it within the surface texture, the Fifth “Imaginary” element: Ether; and an artificial and imaginary element at best compared to True Ether. Ether is an energy source that powers magecraft, such that it enables it to slip in illusions that mimic an effect and cause considered modally compatible with what is possible within the surface texture (natural/material world rooted in the laws of physics). True Ether, on the other hand, was not purely vaster in quantity, but was considered more potent or in other words, better in quality. In that sense, it fools reality, and the abilities of the Gods allow not just for the articulation of a lie about the world's causal system, but also allow for a true distortion of reality itself.

The magecraft we know of is no more than the manipulation of formulas. It is only a trick to briefly fool the world....
“We only know how to fool the world. They had the power to rewrite it however they wish. That is how powerful Divine Spirits are. Of course.

Source: Lord El Melloi Case Files Volume 9

As seen before, True Ether is the substance that forms both the Gods and Celestial Bodies themselves, a type of mana that is not only greater in quantity proportional to bare ether, but greater in quality proportional to Ether.

Even I was at danger of being crushed by it. To the people of the modern age, Magical Energy from the Age of the Gods was basically a poison. Unfortunately for me, the Magical Energy here was infinitely close to that of the Age of the Gods. Ever since I arrived here, my Mystic Eyes had been burning with pain more intense than I had ever felt.

Source: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 10: case. Grand Roll (Lower) - Chapter 3, Part 2

This scale of mana can both be intoxicating the human of the material world, but it can also be used to force beings of the material world to become transcendental. In the presence of True Ether, conventionally weak taxonomic species like mankind are forced into spiritual ascension, morphing their being into something on par with that of the gods. This is the true substance, enforcing its significance from the Inner Sea onto the surface texture, encroaching upon it, to return it to itself:

The power of the dragon had created a space that preserved the texture of the Age of the Gods which was supposed to be lost. For this reason, all the creatures and plants that had evolved in Albion were completely different to their counterparts on the surface. It was the only place where Magical Energy could emit light.

Source: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 10: case. Grand Roll (Lower) - Chapter 1, Part 4

Essence

Divine Spirits are degraded vestiges of Gods:

It is a personification of the Sun, a "degraded" version of Amaterasu Ōmikami (the Sun Goddess). When Caster Fox enters their nine-tail form, it does not turn into this exact appearance. Rather, this represents the original, ancient form of Caster Fox, which still exists in the present.

However, this needn't be understood as ontological degradation. What is meant when it is said that Gods became Divine Spirits, is insofar as they have lost their bodies to several cosmic extinction events that struck them. The attack from the White Titan, the embodiment of destruction and the destroyer of Civilisations. It destroyed the true bodies of the manifested aspects and concepts of the True Reality, with another notable one being Ragnarok.

Divinities became weaker because, having lost their true bodies, they are incapable of handling the full output of their capabilities and authorities. Tezcatlipoca, for example, has to trade 2 organs to utilise his authority. They dissolved back into their essence, as formless aspects and concepts of nature. When they come to manifest, they are the [embodied] aspect of nature; herein, they are considered “embodiments of nature”. But it is revealed that the significance of the White Titan's attack was less of a true destruction of the true bodies of Gods, rather the influence of Gods withered as it ushered the world to a new era: the age of man. We're told by Demeter in turn that their True Bodies still exist; however, they can never be allowed to exist within the material world. Due to the incompatibility in the laws of man and those of the age of gods, had Demeter descended with her true body and would've gone mad.

When, on the contrary, the texture is that of the Age of Gods, we are shown by the manifestation of Ares, the God of War, in his original (machine) body from Proper Human History and Human Order: an era long past the Age of Gods. They are referred to as the heavenly ones, those that exist at the level of the Inner Sea, which is the mind of the Planet, within the Celestial Egg—the centre of the cosmos to which all celestial phenomena it governs orbits; that which all things bend towards its direction (teleonomy/fate). It is that which observes and dreams of the surface texture, but it does not do so by externalising the surface texture as it looks outward. Instead, it is dreaming of itself, as an object of contemplation: the Inner Sea in which it lies. To trace back the memory of all things is to pursue memories recorded by the world itself. A crystallisation of all the dreams of the world in a structured manner:

Memory was not forgotten, but rather, it had been damaged. In that case, there is only one method. It is not to trace the past remembered by an individual, but to trace the phenomena recorded by the world itself. Fortunately, I had the necessary technique to do so. However, it doesn't work. An observer cannot observe themselves as the subject. One cannot shake hands with themselves; that's just how humans are.

Click to expand...

Even if you had the power to trace back to the dreams of the world, you could never attain them. Because it is only the world that is capable of pure contemplation, the capacity to observe itself as simultaneously the object of contemplation: self-contemplation. A unity of subject and object, the seer as the seen, existence or Being as knowledge of oneself.

The “Sea of Stars Within” is, after all, the dream the planet itself is seeing.

Type Moon Ace Volume 14

And this extent of contemplation is found in the world's perception of the the Inner Sea as both itself and its own observer. The observed here, come to be perfections of nature, determinate aspects and concepts that fall under its actuality.

People had their languages confounded by God. This happened in an age when the existence of God was still acknowledged—a time called the Age of the Gods.
Back then, mystery wasn't something mysterious—it was treated as common sense. It was a world of swords and sorcery, so to speak.
The kinds of mysteries that are impossible now were not so difficult to perform in that era.

Heaven and earth once were one.
The land where mankind took root was a mirror image of the celestial sphere.
They formed a Trinity, although not the one that the term is normally interpreted as.
In the ancient times, all was connected as one, and was expressed as merged parts of the gods.

Click to expand...

It's because of that that it is said that the Age of Gods held within it, mystery (immediacy) to be common sense (mediation). And because of that, language itself was unified. It was the language of the logos, the unified language—a superior form of language that speaks as logos to the works themselves. It is a formless language that was once common to all living creatures, and a language capable of speaking to every creature. Because it is the language of the divine, when it speaks to the world, it can impose its will upon and thereby determine the meaning of something, something no less than True Magic. It is something that speaks to the higher self, recorded as a memory of the Planet itself. Such were the days of the Gods; Gods were close to mysteries themselves. Because mystery dictated common sense, it meant miracles of True Magic could be reproduced easily as the lack of mediation made it possible for the notion of impossibility to remain indeterminate, if mysteries are common sense it meant even the impossible that could not be explained was common sense, and so the miracles of True Magic were naught but paltry exercise in the Age of Gods. Naturally, it meant the Age of Gods was an era where many remained directly connected to the Root, with Divine Spirits being one such class of species; a species that remains connected to the Root because of its mode of apprehension: mystery as common sense. That is, knowledge was treated as self-articulate, faith or rather the aggregate of Planetary facets justified faith by means of faith. This communion between the world-as-it-reveals itself, and the world-as-interpreted, communion of knowledge as asserting that “that is this case” and “this follows because it does”, made the world determinate yet without naming it so much as to fragment it. Knowledge was purely self-articulate and self-relational, such that it proceeded from experience of the world-as-is and only asserts that that-is-because-it-is.

Regarding the former quote, that meant in the Age of Gods, the Heavens and Earth were phenomenologically unified, truths were perceived not as objects to fragment, but principles inherent to the subject itself. That is, everything (including humanity) was a part of the gods, the archetypal concepts of the True Reality. And it was the humans who believed in those subjects to be objects that encompass subjects or themselves. It is for this reason that true magic was common, and the impossible of today was possible.

Magecraft chases the past, to isolate mystery from knowledge, and science chases the knowledge as isolated from mystery: the future. Both of them pursue zero, but both divide zero in their pursuit, thereby distancing themselves from zero. True Magic is the unity of knowledge as mediation and immediacy, for it asserts what is true of which it engages with in mediation, on the basis that it is true; thereby being an immediacy.

This is why True Magic is likened to overcoming the wall of dimensions, to touch upon a different world and learn its rules. These are manuscripts learned in textbooks like magecraft; these are mysteries that flow directly from the Root. We speak of mysteries that still existed in that sea, and as magecraft emerged began fragmenting into different systems, like different pathways of a river that branched off from its sea. It is to reach the Sun—the Swirl of the Root that which is beyond dimensional theory; to touch the Cloud of Unknowing

True Magic as the Supra Extension Causal power

Just as the realm that is True Magic itself, the Inner Sea, is considered qualitatively beyond the material world, for it requires liberation from material (extensional) constraints. Also considered beyond space-time and a place where such phenomena are rendered unknowable as seen beforehand, as it is a realm prior to the laws of physics and completely removed from human laws. Further evidence suggests True Magic is inherently beyond dimensional/extensional constraints. That's why even phenomena such as Beauty has its own perfection, which can be exemplified in the world of becoming. In The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II Vol. 3 - Twin Form Tower (Lower), such a thing manifested; the ultimate beauty. That which was True Magic as well, and the same rank as the unified language insofar as both of them reach into the depths of the Root:

It was said there was once a Sealing Designated magus who used the Unified Language (Master of Babel), words which allowed no mistake, to which the entire world - living or not - could not but obey. Her _____ was much the same, a purity that reached into the depths of the Root itself.

When it manifested, it was a miracle that could not be described by any discursive means. And here:

Time stopped.
Position lost all meaning.
It appeared as if the rigorous certainty of space and time itself had been lost.

Forcing the world to come to a halt, position and coordinates to lose meaning, just as space and time did. This is consistent with Aoko saying you transcend a wall of dimensions. It is reached through a path to the Root, but the path to the Root is a theophanic communion between the Root and the finite subject. Because the Root is non-dual, and non-dual recognition is alignment/connection with it, the 'path' to the Root is no different from the manifestation of the 'Root' itself.

To reach the Root, one must abstain from thought. So as to pursue a thoughtless place, and reach it with no answers (justification). Your consciousness traces towards zero as it unifies with zero by looking inward to its whole (Origin), to search for something not external to itself but inherent in itself. This manifests as a logos from the Root, that which is a perfection inherent deep within the subject. We know True Magic is a perfection because the Ultimate Beauty, which was of the same rank, was considered a type of perfection that nullified all imperfections and unnatural (artificial) like magecraft and likewise halted time and dissolved coordinates. And even the divine language, the unified language, was considered a language that supervened over all imperfect languages, because it was also the perfection of language. It has a type of transcendence that is completely idiosyncratic. When magecraft strikes it, it is nothing but an illusion striking a wall that is simply "the truth", and so it becomes easily nullified as unnatural by True Magic. There's nothing that illusions can do in the face of the truth, but be rendered irrelevant.

Because divinities are already determinate (aspectual) perfections, and properties/logoi of the Planet's actuality. And at the level of the Inner Sea, wherein the Planet purely contemplates itself unitarily as an object of its own contemplation.

Phantasmal species.
Within our works, this is a general term for those creatures that appear within legends and myths.
They are those existences that deviate from their original form by the impact of factors alien to their ecology; those existences borne of human ideation (想念); and those existences that ascend to a higher order as a consequence of longevity.
Incidentally, it is typically only those creatures that hold standing as Demonic Beasts (魔獣), translated sometimes as "Monstrous Beasts") or below that are used as Familiars (使い魔). The Ranks go in the order of Animal (野獣 lit. "wild beast") → Demonic Beast (魔獣?) → Phantasmal Beast (幻獣) → Holy Beast (聖獣).
Phantasmal and Holy Beasts of the Millennium Class fundamentally outmatch the strength of Mysteries on the order of Magecraft; the Mysteries inherent to said creatures are of a magnitude equivalent to that represented within True Magic.

Source: Zadan II Official Chat Log

That's why beings, in their formless essence, are beings of the Inner Sea, like phantasmals, which, ontologically speaking, are 'mysteries' in themselves, an equivalent of True Magic.

Fun and joy, fun and joy. Hear, glorious gods. Hear, my father, Keraunos incarnate! I commend you for dragging me by the hair, swinging me around, and slamming me on the earth. I’ll be alive as a companion of mankind while you disappear into the spiral of myth. No, I’ve been part of humanity since inception. It’s this concrete form of mine that was a dream and illusion all along. Because my perfect form, madness, originated within humanity.

Their essence is to be a perfect form of the aspect/concept they embody, representing a universal pattern of some concept, as a result of being perfected and actual energeiai of the Planet's particular logos.

Dimensional and Transcendent Mysteries

The nature of divinities (Gods and Divine Spirits) as mysteries, logoi and miracles themselves, is crystallised through natural rights and jurisdiction over activities the surface texture by exercising activities proceeding from the Inner Sea:

Yes,” Faker said. “It’s honestly shocking. Magecraft in this era hasn’t just fallen behind by a couple of steps. It’s already an entire dimension away. The only reason why they even managed to bother us is because they don’t have the same goals. I don’t have any idea how many more tricks that Aozaki has hidden up her sleeve.”
Some of their spells are similar to the Ten-Count spells we use to deceive the world, but they are still fundamentally different. You could say that we are entire dimensions behind them. They were capable of changing the world with a single word by simply invoking the gods.”

Source: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 9: case. Grand Roll (Middle) - Chapter 3, Part 4

It is for this reason that ten count spells, those that invoke a fragment of the God's power, are considered an entire dimension beyond the magecraft of the surface texture. As it proceeds from the rules of a non-extensional archetypal plane of contemplation, power that is borrowed from non-extensional (immaterial) archetypal mysteries like Gods.

Authority: [Miracle]
Authority (権能) refers to a unique category of power distinct from Code Casts, Skills, or Noble Phantasms. It denotes a level of ability capable of altering phenomena, manipulating the flow of time, or even creating entire nations—a power that can shape the world itself.

Such abilities existed during the Age of Gods, approximately 6,000 years ago. However, with the advancement of human civilization after the Common Era, these powers were finally relinquished and retreated into the annals of the past.

Unlike regular skills, which operate on the premise of "this result can be achieved through these means," Authority operates on the principle of "it is done simply because there is a right to do so."

It is a natural power for Divine Spirit-class Servants to possess, but to wield such authority in this era requires a significant price—often the self-destruction of the wielder.

In Fate/Extra CCC, those who consume the Moon Cell attain this level of power

Fate/Extra Material

An Authority is something considered within the category of 'miracle' [True Magic]. A class of power categorically removed from Code Casts, Skills and Noble Phantasm. It is a degree of causal power that is capable of entirely altering phenomena, manipulating the flow of time and creating nations: reshaping the world itself. This scale of power ceased to exist within the surface texture/phenomenal world. And unlike regular skills, which operate on the premise of “by what manner can this result be achieved”, in other words, skills of magecraft. Supernaturals that depend on human wisdom and scientific means of analysis. An authority is a logical prior to such mediation and fragmentation; it purely operates on the premise that a divinity has “the right to reproduce this effect”.

The right to reproduce certain effects is rooted in the concept with which divinity represents; it is the manifestation of perfected causal power from the Inner Sea. Take the Goddess Ishtar, hailed in the account of Mesopotamian myth as an aggregate of Mother Nature's Beauty:

While her appearance was an aggregate of Mother Nature’s beauty, it was covered in high-brand fashion produced by modern society.

Embodying an aspect rooted in the Inner Sea:

The Morning Star. The Evening Star. And the name Venus itself has roots leading back to the goddess Ishtar of Mesopotamia. As the star presiding over the concept of beauty, it would serve as a perfect replacement in this case, wouldn't it?"

She gains authority and supervenes over the concept of Beauty itself. And whatever phenomenological effects are associated with it, so as to reproduce them ontologically. This is why Beauty, as seen beforehand from True Magic, stopped time and space, rendering positions/coordinates meaningless. It is because those qualities are associated with a luminous phenomenological experience, presence that may render the appearance of any other null, so as to intensify the presence of the Beautiful.

And if that may be time and space, for some, time and space halts. Consequently:

Manifestation of Beauty: EX
The goddess of beauty advened in an Einzbern homunculus. Her charm power can affect magical and inanimate objects and even the laws of physics, but she can't use them against concepts related to the underworld due to a poor compatibility match-up.
She feels no need to use this against humans since they automatically worship her.
The cause of Haruri's devotion was the goddess' natural charm, not the charm from the Skill.

Source: Fate/strange Fake Volume 8

Her Beauty or charm has a causal power such that it can affect not only magical phenomena, but also inanimate objects and the laws of physics. Notions that have nothing to do with the mystical phenomenological experience of Beauty, because Ishtar is the perfection of Beauty and its universal pattern as instantiated in the minds of mankind. Is also capable of causally reproducing meticulous miracles associated with mystical experiences of the concept of Beauty. A rule, natural right of logoi and in other words, an activity of the logoi that follows from its existence. The existence of the divinity is the concept, and its activity proceeds from its mere essential existence. Their scale of psychic channel is such that the experience of reality is simultaneously unitary with the experience of oneself.

Another example is Quetzalcoatl, a God of good/goodness, because of that, she is considered the epitome of Good understood as a universal pattern within the Planet's Sea of self-contemplation (Inner Sea). Because such is the nature of her being, to be a God of Good for her denotes her being the apex of all things good at the level of the Archetypal. Consequently, because her authority expresses the natural rights of a logos she represents, Quetzalcoatl is impervious to attacks that derive from all things good. The reason is the same as the principle by which Arcueid is an invulnerable magecraft, because magecraft and the surface texture imitate phenomena of the Celestial, of which she forms and is the basis. In the case of Quetzalcoatl, all things good are an imitation of her primitive essence as the logos of goodness. Several other examples of Authorities and Divinities: the capacity for actualities reshaping formal and final causes. The rights to weaponise aspects of the world by communion and conformity to the Planet, within God's existence, knowledge and activity:

Demeter/logos - The Goddess of the concept of harvest and the Goddess of the concept of land; the very embodiment of nature's nurturing aspect. It is by her causal power and immanence that nature, animals and humans alike are protected. Being the embodiment of harvest and land, she possesses precedence over both, and by extension, production and the concept of regeneration.

Providence (Authority): Besides other effects of her authority, as Goddess of Harvest, she possesses infinite regenerative powers. She can easily resurrect the dead, applying that truth from the activity of her very existence as the concept of harvest and land. In effect, she can give vitality to things without, give life to those who are without. Beyond even the True Magic of the current world, the ability to bring a person back to life from death is, in actuality, considered beyond True Magic through the lens of the five contemporary magicians. She can even easily provide immortality to humanity, of which to provide true immortality is recognised as a level of providence on par with True Magic. As it is only a miracle, possible within the material world through Third Magic.

Aphrodite/logos - The Goddess of the concept of Beauty and Love. As a goddess of the Greeks, mythopoetry regarding her nature is clothed in Plato's allegory. Because of what she symbolises, she is considered a platonic ideal of the feminine, a Goddess that is essentially a mirror of the Mesopotemian Goddess of Beauty Ishtar.

Providence (Authority): Beauty has a distinct taste as a qualitative experience of rational organic species, in the presence of beautiful things and phenomena considered beautiful, like love. Man often finds his sense of self, mind and values being wobbling in the presence of divine Beauty. Love is power. Beauty is control. The subjective experience of man bends towards the intensity of gravity, possessed by the Beautiful. As a Goddess that supervenes over Beauty and Love, she can reproduce causal effects of the phenomenological experience associated with the experience of Beauty and Love to a particular subject. The effects of her authority can redefine the values, minds and sense of self of a given target/subject. It does not involve the manipulation of the mind, but the flow of pure Beauty that qualitatively enshrines the mind. The effects are secondary and natural consequences/effects associated with Love and Beauty. She explains that worth is derived from necessity and desire; it is what bestows intelligent life-forms a sense of fulfilment. It is not merely psychological but teleological as well, she guides humanity in a path she herself defines, hence to "fulfil" all things means to bring things to their completion, to their path. It is in virtue of that natural order that she can control everything about you. What is Beautiful has worth to mankind, what has worth to mankind provides mankind with fulfilment. Beauty is an object of desire, love is the precondition of worth, and worth is desired. These two concepts are what she represents and is, and in being who she is, she can control everything intelligently.

Gradation of Authority

Just as perfections are graded within the self-articulated internal differentiation of the Planet's self-contemplation. So too are authorities graded proportional to the extent to which certain divinities embody those perfections, and to the extent to which certain divinities embody more universal concepts. For example, because of the discrepancies in the Celestial Scale between the Moon and the Sun, those who have authority over the Mooncell can't negate the authority of the Sun. For the Moon cannot conquer the Sun, a disposition rooted in the generality of the authority/perfection. And in another sense, certain Gods are their concept on a much more fundamental scale than others. An example of this is the cosmic dyson sphere, the Primordial Chaos of Greek Mythology. He is considered to supervene over all things that fall under the concept of the Sun, and this sense of causal maximality is exemplified in the scale of its power, but even that does a disservice. It is the eye that comes to peer into our universe once more, from a hyper-dimensional vacuum it resided in; from a formless nothingness outside of space-time. In Ancient Greece, creative principles and sources of all creation were associated with the Sun, which illuminates all creation. Chaos, as the source of all machine gods, is no less than the Sun of Greek Mythology, which illuminates all of creation. Many types of such symbolism are, in principle, what Chaos would signify and explain why Chaos is stated to possess countless functionalities (technical term for authority when it comes to Machine Gods); and Greek Gods like Zeus were nothing but a way for it to divide its many functions. No less than the strongest and most primitive God of them all.

Elementals

Originally, Faeries are considered nature's sense of touch, something that humans cannot perceive.
However, there are indeed some Faeries who were born wearing humans' imagination as shells.

Source: Kara no Kyoukai - Special Pamphlet

Elementals (true fae: A-Reis) like Fairies are greater than the perfections of Logoi or Divinities. They are immediate determinations of the world's subjective experience; that's why they are defined as those who have come into a will of their own. That is, coming to exist through a will of their own and within a will of their own. Unlike Divinities, who have held supernatural abilities only proportional to their existence, as their existence is the very causal power. A-Reis, on the other hand, can reshape the world entirely as they see fit, not only in accordance with whatever logos they both embody and are.

They are bunrei of the Planet's soul, the seeds of the star that flows from beyond, there from paradise (Avalon) to Earth.

“There are familiars and Phantasmal Species like them. However, the existence of true fairies is still a mystery that we have not yet fully grasped. In a certain sense, it’s a mystery more complex than the magecraft of the Age of the Gods. After all, it was a fairy known as the Lady of the Lake who gave King Arthur her sword, Excalibur.”

Source: Lord El Melloi Case Files Chapter 3 Part 3

It's for this reason that the true A-Reis are considered a mystery that completely eludes mankind. Not a mystery that is self-referential or self-explanatory like divine spirits, as universal and primitive patterns of reality as understood in human cognition. They are a mystery more complex than the magecraft of the Age of Gods.

What if this hole leads to the Fairy Realm, or somewhere close to it…? What if the place that it leads to is more dangerous than the Age of the Gods…?”

Source: Lord El Melloi Volume 10 Chapter 2

The Fairy World texture in the Inner Sea is even more dangerous than the textures of the Gods within the Inner Sea. That's why they are considered on the same scope as divinities who personify nature, but differ in that they are not clothed in human rules because they are independent of faith completely. These beings are not mere archetypal logos of phenomena that come to be exemplified within the surface textures. They are a pure and transcendental existence, beyond the universal patterns within the human psyche (unconscious side of nature/Collective Unconscious of humanity: Alaya). That's why they are considered completely disconnected from human civilisation.

One more thing, the Foundation of Faeries and Elementals are of a Mystery that cannot be reached through magecraft.

Click to expand...

Kara no Kyoukai Special Pamphlet

A mystery that cannot be reached through magecraft, something on par with True Magic itself. However, the causal power of the conventional A-Rei is delimited by the extent of the mentality they embody; fairies are partial fractals of the Planet's conscious experience.

The truth with which they reshape the world is limited by their mentality or the type of the Planet's conscious experience. It is said that the mentality of the A-rei determines its fairy territory. The mentality of the A-Rei Muryan manifests causally as a rule called the denial of strength. This is unlike a universal pattern or divine reason (logos) that determines the rules of the world (surface texture), but a rule that stems from the Planet's conscious self-determination. It has the effect of returning everything to strength at birth, the subjective experience of the world as it denies strength. Fairy's of a greater assimilation into the world's consciousness and those who materialise stronger truths, like Morgan, can easily override the territory of A-Reis like Muryan.

Fairies can exercise True Magic, insofar as their subjective experience is experience of themselves, the subject as the object. For they are fractals of the Planet's consciousness, it is True Magic through self-determination; they redefine the rules even at the level of the Inner Sea simply because they are the world as they experience it. The conscious (living) perfections of the planet itself, undeterred by the communion of the Planet and Man. That is, the Planet in its unconscious state: Alaya.

Divinities can exercise True Magic insofar as they are the unconscious perfections of the world, the universal patterns of divine reason (logos). These archetypal logoi are self-predicative or self-articulated, as demonstrated, it is the exercise of magic without externalising reality. To manipulate reality, because reality is what you have a self-relation with. These are fantasies that mankind's Alaya, the Planet's unconscious activity, maintains through human imagination. The relationship between divinities and mankind is dynamic and reciprocal. Gods embody and are the perfect ideas of what the world of mankind comes to exemplify. The idea-of-phenomena-as-such-and-without-so-and-why, this is why they are, properly speaking, referred to as mysteries of nature. Not just 'concepts' or 'ideas' of nature, but those 'ideas' and 'concepts' as mysteries themselves.

Both bypass mediation, but do so to differing degrees.

As he was defined as the omnipotent deity on Earth within the Aztec world, his existence is, in a certain sense of the word, a mixture between Odin of the Norselands, Zeus of Greece, the Buddhist Demon King of the Sixth Heaven (Mara),and the Satan of Christianity (Lucifer)

These gods (devils) are all peerless existences in the physical world, but in the more spiritual world of destiny, they are not so unrivalled, and are similar in that they are all limited despite their omnipotence.

Click to expand...

Source: Tezcatlipoca Profile

It is for this reason that even the highest of divinities in class are considered omnipotent in causal power only with respect to the material world. But in the astral/spiritual world, aka the Inner Sea, they are considered limited. Fairies can rewrite the rules because the rules are an extension of their subjective experience and therefore an extension of themselves. As a result, even the lower parts of True Reality are subordinate to these rules, the lowest parts of the Inner Sea here being the unconscious facets of the Soul of the Cosmos. Those considered to house self-predicative symbols of divine reason (logos), the throne of the gods. Gods rewrite the laws, not the True Reality, but of the material world; that's why they are anything but omnipotent in the Inner Sea.

They cannot rewrite the Inner Sea, because they are unconscious parts of it. Just symbols only, as awareness of their existence extends towards those with knowledge, as their existence, because their activity is their existence.

Gods are a consequence of the Inner Sea; Fairies are the Inner Sea.

True Ancestors are the highest grade of A-Reis; these beings are not merely just the Planet's sense of touch. But they are considered the embodiment of the Planet's consciousness and will be entirely manifested anthropomorphically.

The survivor of the royal family known as the "True Ancestors," the origin of vampires, as well as a higher spiritual entity known as the "Will of the Stars". Although she is a vampire, she is a kind of spirit inhabiting the earth, and can be easily understood as an anthropomorphic manifestation of nature. Her master, Monji, worships her as a god, but because of his misinterpretation, she is unable to function at her full potential. It is said that her inherent power as the will of the stars is extraordinary.

They are neither aspects of nature (divinities), fractals of nature's subjective experience (conventional A-Reis) nor a derivative projection of nature (humanity). But the manifestation of nature-itself, the very will of the Planet.

Hybrid Follower and Bound True Ancestor, Gato Monji & Berserker Gato Monji is a strange Master who worships the Berserker as a god. He holds a unique religious worldview that mixes various religions and is someone difficult to communicate with. The Berserker is originally a "True Ancestor," a spirit of the Earth, but due to Gato's misunderstanding that she is a god, her status has been degraded from a celestial being to a mere god, preventing her from fully unleashing her abilities. In combat, she uses a treasure that attacks with gravity, causing massive damage.

Source: Complete Material IV

As Celestial Beings, if one were to consider them as Gods, it would be nothing short of a delimitation of their power. True Ancestors are beings at the epitome of the Celestial Hierarchy; they have no causal limits. The only limit they have is within their imagination. As Celestial Beings, the Planet bestows all True Ancestors the same borrowed perfection as that of the Original One. True Ancestors possess no limits, and if they do, that limit is no less than the limit of nature. Because of that, there exists no weapon, let alone a conceptual weapon, that can completely destroy True Ancestor at the peak of its powers. And conversely, there's no virtual limit to what a True Ancestor can do. Although it is said that the church has battled and overcome a few, death to them does not come from external means. Yet despite being a seemingly perfect and transcendental species, they had a flaw. It is an internal deterioration from vampiric impulses. When they reach the limit of their willpower to resist those impulses, the True Ancestors undergo a perpetual sleeping state, an equivalent of death for humanity. This is the only possible end to an otherwise infinite Being; to return to slumber is to return to the Celestial Egg: Nature.

Because they have a perfected causal power that is not constrained to a particular mental characteristic (subjective experience) like A-Reis or a particular logoi they exemplify (divinities and heroic spirits). They are effectively "without limits"; the crystallisation of this 'omnipotence' is demonstrated in their highest mystery: Fantasy Manifestation. True Ancestors are not limited in what part of creation they can manipulate, with some perfection they embody. They can manipulate all of creation and completely reshape the entire world with their imagination:

It is a power possessed by spirits, which function as the sensory organs of the natural world. By directly linking their own will to the world itself, they transform the environment of the world into exactly what they imagine. Depending on the scale of the spirit, the level of manifestation differs.

Click to expand...

The scale of this manifestation varies with the True Ancestor, as will be shown. But with it and their imagination, True Ancestors can kill 'language/words', phenomena that have yet to exist like 'rumours', easily recreate tales/stories of parallel worlds, recreate worlds of the past to suspend an opponent in a particular part of destiny, wherein they didn't possess their immortality to have them permanently killed. They can even exercise the power of other types of True Magic, as if those miracles above weren't enough.

They can attack across all time, from the past to the future, using an application of Fifth Magic. And use applications of Second Magic, like exchanging events and time travelling.

At full power, there's no world True Ancestors can't recreate, and this is especially true of the Original One. Whatever can be imagined can be recreated, because whatever can be imagined is part of the Planet's self-contemplation. This is possible because they are Celestial Beings that embody the will of the world itself; their avatars can sync in with the world. And with this, they can alter the blueprint and basis of all existence, the planet's memories themselves, with their will. The very dreams of the Planet, an exercise of natural rights completely beyond causal power over the surface texture, like Gods. It is a self-determining causal power that can influence reality on the level of the Inner Sea, as opposed to Gods' use of the power of the Inner Sea, but they aren't self-sufficient or self-determinate; that is, being constrained solely by what they embody and what aspect of the world they are.

Phenomenon Storage

An ability of the True Ancestors, who serve as the sensory organs of the planet. It stores things that developed upon the planet’s surface, both conceptually and physically. In other words, it confiscates all creations that have arisen upon the planet’s surface — the textures

Click to expand...

Source: Tsukihime Material I

They also possess the ability to store things developed upon the Planet's surface (universe) conceptually and physically, in the same way the Original One can.

If compared to a divine spirit, it would be an extraordinary ability on the level of an Authority. However, since it is a function possessed by the planet itself, it is closer to a system than a skill.

Click to expand...

It is much like an Authority of the Divine Spirit, that is, all of the surface texture is a projection of the Planet, and all of the surface texture belongs to the True Ancestor. They have the 'right' to confiscate store it as shadows within its essence (the Planet's Will), a class of ability not quite like authority but a function possessed by the entire Planet [Celestial Egg] itself: a system.

The gravitational sphere that appeared beneath Arcueid, who had become a body of light, possessed a scale large enough to store the textures of the entire Earth.

Click to expand...

But because Arcueid is the Original One and Anima Mundi, hers is such that it can store all textures of the Planet up to the Inner Sea itself.

Thus, the Planet relates to itself to differing degrees, and different orders of existence and causality. It is through 1. Self-Embodiment (True Ancestors) Grade of noetic reality: The Planet's will itself, the closest attribute to the Soul of the Cosmos. 2. Self-Experience (Elementals) Grade of noetic reality: The Planet's subjective experience, a derivative of the Planet's will as it wills its own experience.

The last grade of consciousness of the Planet needs further exposition, as an enclosure of the explanation behind divinities and faith within Type Moon.

The Self-P redicative Unconscious__: Alaya-the unconditioned (non-dual) and Alaya-the conditioned (non-dual)

Role: The source of the laws and order of the surface texture. It is a seat currently occupied by mankind, the unconscious part of the world that produces the surface texture without awareness of such. Mankind considers the world to be 'external' to the self, in pursuit of rationalising the world through mediation and continuously externalising it.

Unconscious production and perfection: It is mankind that is unaware of its self-grounding nature, principles (logoi) of the unconsciousness retain its self-predicative nature and connection to the Inner Sea. Such beings are mythologised by mankind, primitive and indivisible concepts [perfections] of nature. Mankind thinks of God as supernatural because they are; Zeus uses lightning because he has the right to in accordance with human belief. There is no scientific reason for Zeus to hold power over lightning, embody so as to be it, as a determination related to the name 'Zeus' of a Divine Spirit Class. That is why in spite of being defined by mankind, they exist in the deepest depths of mankind, considered mysteries and incomprehensible by the very mankind that defines them through self-articulation.

=3.1.1 Self-Conceptualisation Divinities

Role: Deepest symbols of nature within the human psyche, self-relational concept that encompasses universal patterns of a perfected grandeur within the human psyche. Perfect because they are faith as justification, knowledge as truth. Not truth from knowledge

Heroic Spirits

Mythological heroes, who have achieved great deeds, ascended to a higher plane of existence. Beyond the transmigration cycle of the material world, to inhabit the Throne of Heroes within the Inner Sea of the Cosmos. An archetypal higher-dimensional plane beyond space and time, and bereft of space-time. In essence, they are purely just information and concepts therein, and come to be in the material world by inhabiting Saint Graph; these are considered a 'shadow' and emanative copy of the Heroic Spirit in the archetypal Throne of Heroes. They are much like Gods, defined by humanity but mysteries to humanity. Noble Phantasm lay bare this relationship, abilities considered incomprehensible to mankind, abilities that can never be replicated by natural humanity or magecraft and naturally technology. It is the crystallisation of the miracle a given hero had performed, the very symbol of the Heroic Spirit, mysteries on par with divine mysteries. These are historical constants of human history, symbolising the perfections of human potential; ideals of humanity itself. Souls that come to be, of greater purity, ontic dignity and value.

Grand Servants

Servants chosen and summoned by the world to contest against the evils of humanity. In other words, heroes are designated to fight against the world itself. They possess Saint Graphs, a rank beyond that of a servant, beings that can subjugate Beasts that embody twisted desires existing as logos within the psyche of mankind: logos of regression (Tiamat), logos of love (Kama/Mara), logos of comparison (Fou)... Etc.

0. The first light is the Soul of the Cosmos, not a substance, but the directionality. Described as the very 'fate' that enables the Celestial to come to be, such that it is governed by causality and space-time. It contains the beginning and end of everything of its respective Celestial Body, as testament to its activity. (Arcueid)

1. What the light reflects is the Celestial Egg, the illumination of the Celestial Egg and the beginning of the Soul's activity expressing itself through the Celestial Egg as the heart of the Celestial Body.

2. The Animation of the Celestial Egg illuminates its Body emerging as it hatches and expands outwards. (Alternatively: The emergence of the Inner Sea)

3. the Celestial Body as it self-contemplates, observing itself as an object of observation (Embodied: True Ancestors)

4. The Celestial Body as it experiences itself through the process of self-contemplation. Subjective experience that arises from that act. (Embodied: A-Reis)

5. The Celestial Body, as it's unconscious grounds the surface texture, the facet of the Planet's will that is unconscious of its own causal power. (Embodied: Mankind's transcendental spirit)

The process (4) and (3) occur unitarily as the Planet's self-contemplation is the act of it willing itself and [True] body into existence.

Metaphysics of Textural Procession

Texture withdrawal

Although this has only ever happened to those of the Age of Gods. But, when an era of the primate species that was once aligned with the Planet comes to pass. The textures of those species are withdrawn back into the Inner Sea. Turning into a metaphysical phenomenon, the Age of Fairies was different in that Fairies were already within the Inner Sea since immemorial.

One and Many/Inner Sea and Surface Texture: Cyclical Procession and Linear Procession

Once beings become those of paradise, the Inner of the Cosmos. They cease to have a finite lifespan; they become part of a realm of Eternal Cycles.

A world that shares no ties with the decline and destruction on the face of the planet that continues to repeat itself like a loop.

The Inner Sea is a realm already of the perfect, ideal and complete; it cannot be affected by any and all cycles of death and destruction within the material world.

The Fairyland Avalon where King Arthur rests. The wielder will heal from any wound, and the aging process will cease. Unleashing the true name of Avalon will deploy a Bound Field that provides the greatest defence.

Source: Fate/Complete Material III

Therein, inhabitants of it who dwell within it in spite of being from the material world, cease to age from within it. The age of gods and likewise the primitive ages of spiritual affairs are eternal cycles, with the material world mankind being transient in comparison

While the Age of the Gods was like an eternal cycle, the modern age was transient. In a certain sense, the jewels that Luvia had expended and the mages that entered Spirit Tomb Albion to find remnants of the past were emblematic of the age that we lived in.

It is not an era whereby the Planet unfolded linearly outward; it is an era where the Planet begins to reflect itself onto itself. It is an era of perfection of the world, reflecting onto one another, to constitute the order within the Planet's self-contemplation.

A land at the end of the world where they would be eternally forbidden to set foot.

The beginning of worlds that exist at the end of the material world, yet are also causally before the material world. If the Original One is the beginning of all its creatures and the perfection/fulfilment/end to all its creatures, then it stands to reason the Inner Sea is where all perfections are realised. It is for this reason that some mages have opted to return mankind to the age of gods, to force a spiritual ascension into beings on par with Gods. Because Gods are entirely self-sufficient entities, eternal and perfect concepts, Gods are higher beings, and can bring about salvation. This is why Fairies on the other hand, had no need for the concept of a god, having enough power to not pursue salvation from what is greater than them.

Avalon will continue to exist until the end of humanity.

She recognizes that Avalon is the "ideal future that humanity aspires to reach.

Nevertheless, Avalon will continue until the Unconsciousness of the World and the Consciousness of the World become tangled once more. That is to say, it will exist until the end of humanity, a world that humanity unconsciously aspires to reach.

Flow of Eternity: Causal infinitude of the Soul of the Cosmos

The Inner Sea and its laws are sights that mankind forgot, not something they were entirely separate from. Through the Original Sin, mankind phenomenologically separated from direct communion with the Planet. Whereas the heavens became defined by the symmetry between knowledge and immediacy, that is, knowledge as truth (common sense as mystery). Knowledge-through-truth, that is, knowledge from seeing the world as it is: oneself. The material world became defined by truth-through-knowledge, that is, the truth being pursued by knowledge or justification (i.e scientific knowledge).

The causal order of the Inner Sea is self-relational, unbroken and present unitarily. That's why there's nothing of it to target, there's nothing of it to destroy, nor progress other than what already is. The causal power of Anima Mundi is its existence in the Inner Sea, in the outward and projected textures; it is infinite unfolding. The purpose of the unconscious side of the Planet's mind is to define the Eternity that is the Planet itself through rational and naturalistic means. Or through means that can be justified.

The Soul of the Cosmos is said to have no limits, as nature, with limits only arising when it inhabits an avatar like Arcueid does of her body. When expressed in the linearly unfolding outward textures, the causal power of the Soul of the Cosmos is the act of unfolding eternally. The very universe's endless evolution and expansion, and throughout that endless causal power. The path to omnipotence has no bounds; no matter how transcendental one becomes, there will always be an individual a step higher. If the strong only have meaning to the weak? What decides what's strong or weak? The mirror to which all power measures itself is the Original One: the Soul of the Cosmos.

Omnipotent beings as nature, bearing within them the greatest authority of them all: magical energy without limits, strength without limit and capabilities that increase without limits. The world will continue to expand and indefinitely give rise to new things; rational beings will continue to define Eternity as the heavens continue to exemplify particular instances of Eternity. All things will continue in the everlasting journey, the Eternal knowing yet discovering itself, a journey that Roa likens to having no end but yet retaining a conclusion.

Human Order is not a path for humans alone—
It is the path of every intelligent being born upon this planet that has grown enough to look up toward the heavens. It is a journey without end, yet it does have a conclusion. When the next generation finally appears to tap you on the shoulder, your duty will be finished. I will be waiting for that glorious end within the planet’s Inner Sea.”

Source: Ascension 1 Arcueid Profile

Archetype: Earth, the very Soul of the Cosmos, herself also likens the length of the period between Human Order and the Age of Will, to be a journey without end, yet with a conclusion. All of this is simply to say the unfolding of the Celestial Egg has no temporal end, but has a teleological closure nonetheless. Beings of the outward and projected textures will continue to embark on an endless journey, of the Planet unfolding, whilst simultaneously also having already reached their conclusion within the Inner Sea: the Celestial Egg. A fully enclosed system of self-contemplation pushing outward and returning inward onto itself, the story of the Celestial as the observed and object of its own observation.

Infinite [Eternity] power exemplified in a two-fold

- Cyclical Infinity [Eternity]: Cyclical Eternal cycles, that is, self-relational [circular] cycles that intermingle with the Planet's actuality.

- Linear Infinity: The linear and sequential cycles of the Planet, the world as it continues to unfold potentiality outwards away from its Inner Sea.

Proposal/Conclusion of Part 1

Inner Sea: 1-A

Divine Spirits as concepts: 1-A (Type 1 Concepts) and 1-A with smurf hax.

A-Reis: 1-A

Arcueid: 30% 1-C (with 1-A smurf hax) and as Archetype: Earth at 1-A (Postponed for later part of the CRT)

Divine Spirits in vessels will vary, but high-tier Divine Spirits at 1-C for MoonCell scaling with 1-A smurf hax

Unified Language: 1-A

Ultimate Ones: 1-A (will affect the Crimson Moon and ORT page) (Postponed for later CRT)

Beasts (matured, Goetia should be downscaled to servant level so roughly Tier 6 for his avatars, though, but this will make Tiamat 1-A): 1-A

True Form/Concepts of Heroic Spirits in the Throne of Heroes: 1-A

Grand Servants: 1-A (Postponed for later CRT)

Throne of Heroes: 1-A

Imaginary Number Space: 1-A

Also finally for the Nasuverse, we are actually getting somewhere with the verse after all the damage from before.

Can't this be divided into more parts?

Believe it or not, I’ve been trying for over a minute just to reach the comments to see them, and I keep scrolling up.

I mean, it would take a whole day just to read all of this, two days to review all the evidence and information, a full week just to organize things and memorize everything—or I could say you need to read the entire work to understand where to start refuting or discussing it. After that, you’d need a whole year to respond and conclude this discussion.

As someone who's been in the know about this thing's progress for literal months, I tentatively agree.

But tier 1 jargon isn't my specialty. Do not take what I say on it as gospel.

Junkoposter · Mar 18, 2026

Been in the know for a good bit as well, and while the wall of text is big enough to make the Great Wall jealous, I’m on the side of “Agree” as well.

One thing I'd like to ask first:

What are the references for scans and sources for translations?

Seems some scans don't even have a translation shown, though i wouldn't know if that's a requirement or not, or if the translations given here are accepted by staff

Noticed some of the references are from TsukiRe & Mahoyo, but it just has a lot of sources. Either spoiler tabs or, as someone mentioned before a sandbox would probably be better for this

ExcelsisBerny · Mar 18, 2026

I read everything. Awesome work, really clear all around. I agree with all points.

That is one thing I was going to mention. I and other Type-Moon supporters know where the scans come from, but all of them should be referenced.

@ShinMaximillion sorry, I completely forgot that the scans needed references, so I never brought it up.

Avalon without degrading its nature and mana density, nothing less than a shadow reflected within the British Lostbelt of the real Avalon.

This does not link to the correct scan.

『Sword-Unsheathing - Might of Heaven』
Rank: None　Type: Anti-Unit Mystic Sword
Range: 1~30　Maximum number of opponents: 1~10 people

Battō - Kamui.
A divine-level drawing sword technique unleashed from a stance so low that she sinks one knee into the ground.

The drawn sword released at an impossible speed that surpasses the ordinary laws of physics is sublimated into a slash whose blade is literally one dimension above.
A convergent Noble Phantasm which she showed a glimpse of in her past life despite not having stepped into this domain, but that, as she was summoned as a Servant, was sublimated/acquired by overcoming several predicaments.

The released slash interferes with the flow of the successive time coordinates in which the target exists, and tears them to pieces along with the space.
The time which temporarily lost its continuity becomes a space-time rift, and since the target loses its existence in that rift, they are consequently bisected.

Because it simply is a temporary space-time interference, the spatial correction occurs immediately, so at a glance it can only be seen as if they were suddenly bisected from outside her range.
A mystic sword that cannot be blocked since, as per its workings, it can invalidate any sort of defense and let the blade come through.
It is believed that defensive Noble Phantasms on the same dimension, or perhaps of a higher dimension, can defend from it.
Strong courage is the true identity of Gensai’s sword, which can even pull the result of cutting something she has decided to cut. She believes without a shred of doubt that she can kill a person if she thinks about cutting a person, the sky if she thinks about cutting the sky, and the gods if she thinks about cutting the gods. A sword beyond reason that at times surpasses even reality, by putting the saying of “Even a fool’s thought can be forced through a rock” into practice.

Nevertheless, it’s a double-edged sword that, in the case of performing a sword draw that reaches the aforementioned space severance, which could be called a maximum release, will make her Spirit Origin receive enormous damage from the recoil.

Gensai doesn’t understand this effect logically, she only thinks that she will cut down what she believes she can cut down, but strictly speaking is a kind of magecraft that entails an extremely short time travel limited to the trajectory of her blade.

This could be added to higher dimensional section.

Anyway, as I said earlier, I've been in the know for a while, so I agree with the thread.

When Arcueid outputted event conversion at her base form, she flattened everything that was confined by four-dimensions. We are explicitly told, actually, that her target was the fourth dimension of the surface texture; the 2-dimensionalisation of it. But Ciel's weapon was invulnerable to that, specifically because it came from the same higher-order dimension as that of Arcueid: the Inner Sea of the world.
With sufficient mystery as well, like the principle of another Dead Apostle Ancestors, at that level, they could resist it. But for magecraft barriers like Roa's, that author was described by him as being "naught but paper" to her.

I agree with the CRT, just curious about something though. You mention the principle of another DA, so like Vlov's principle Ciel took. How exactly would that scale back to Vlov then? His principle was noted by her to be "not yet fully grown" and as a result she was unable to shape it into new grand magecraft iirc, not sure how relevant that would be here though.

ShinMaximillion said:
Her 'will' not only influences the very world itself, but even the agents of the world like humans; they can command inhabitants of the surface texture like humans by dissolving their ego as it gets swept by a greater ocean: the Anima Mundi.

Also, idk why but this link isn't working properly for me and shows up as blank, is it the same for anyone else?

Should probably be fixed then

Firestorm808 · Mar 18, 2026

From my initial reading, I have my doubts that these descriptions cross the 1-A wall, that they are qualitatively superior (akin to the level of a Reality-Fiction Gap) to the other realms.

I'll wait for other knowledgeable staff to weigh in on the matter.

Vlov's Principle might either downscale or not scale at all, but I don't know.

Yeah I figured, was kinda curious since we'd also downscale him or scale him to 30% Arc, but their principles are kind of their own thing it looks like

Elesia011 · Mar 18, 2026

This was by far the longest CRT on the Nasuverse I've been given to read. First of all, I globally agree with the CRT. (Note: you have around two broken links.The first was the scan about "beauty" stuff, and the second was somewhere in the discussion about Arcueid's marble)

That aside, this CRT is incredibly well done and well-sourced as testament to the time and effort put into it. Congratulations and thanks for the team efforts.

HakutoRei000 · Mar 18, 2026

Holy shit this is long-long, not gonna lie better to break this into part for easier reading (staff) since this is also involved a high tier and popular verse (ig) at least tackle the bases of the tier man, if not then gl with it.

Can you explain as to what specific parts of the proposals you disagree with, or do not see as fitting within the proposed Tiers? To claim opposition against this entire textwall full of explaination, sources and links, I fathom that you would need to backup the exact reasons what specifically make you wary of accepting 1-A. The OP in question had already stated that they are looking to work and address everything at a specific instance in time. You are the first of this thread to stay in opposition, or in your words "doubt", so I'd suggest doing that. This is large amount of work done, by a bunch of people representing the verse, and covers everything from the ground-up about its scaling, I feel it is disingenuous to claim this after such a short amount of time.

At this point in time, I have my doubts, yes, but I have not voiced any sort of vote for or against on the proposal yet.

As I said, I'll wait for other knowledgeable staff to weigh in to gain more insight and make a more concrete opinion on the matter.
