I think the plan was to wait for another thread to add the abilities to the Root, and then the tiering would be updated. Yeah, I have no idea why that happened either.We slow as shizz rip
I guess @DaReaperMan is just that guy.@Reiner04 He does have the rights, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed him @ me![]()
From what i'm seeing and understand, this is proposing that the difference between geometric dimensions(which is something that participates/is a part of a composite reality) in the verse is actually ontological?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.
A few days ago while I was asleep. But this is derailing, so Congratulations go to my wall, though appreciated.Wait when Dreaperman became staff. Congrats tho @DaReaperMan .
For the time being, the layers are baseline 1-A, but only for now.What layers are each of the Tiers?
If so, then what is the basic structure of reality? Is even the difference between 1D and 2D is ontological in nature?
Since you said you haven't voiced any vote, that's fine, but honestly, I'm not sure what's there to disagree with or have doubts on, to be honest. All of this is baked into the power system; it's either that or the Root is unfortunately not Tier 0, which wouldn't even make sense. The entire Inner Sea is True Magic, and the point of True Magic is non-dual recognition, which turns everything that can be accounted for not only logically but scientifically into something unqualifiable under those terms.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.
An unreachable utopia that no wiser beasts could hope to attain. 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. A faraway foreign realm that nestled very close to human history, yet bore no relationship with them. Its name is Avalon. The inner sea of the planet.
It solely looks at itself, through itself as both the "I" and "You", so there's no "where" for it to begin with. There's no figure within it external to it, to begin a consciousness experience of spatial 'distance' and therefore extension, between two conscious agents, because all that exists in its reality is just it. So either mysteries would have to not be mysteries, which is the entire point of the Root being apophatic, to begin considering that it is called the "mystery of mystery", or unless the Root is just not Tier 0 because it exemplifies everything the Planet does, but to a higher level.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.
All of the descriptions there, even explicitly ones like this, are intrinsically for the Inner Sea and described that way, because of how the power system is. Stuff like space and time only emerge after the Original Sin when Mankind separates from the world, which creates not only the illusion of "I" and "the world" but "I" and "we". Both of which become the basis for the emergence of the laws of physics within the material world, because for those laws any spatial extension in geometry needs to be defined, they first need that duality. True Magic is beyond that; that's why its manifestation above is outright stated to suspend not only the entire material world, but also suspend/dissolve the meaning of coordinates/position and time.-Time stopped.Position lost all meaning.It appeared as if the rigorous certainty of space and time itself had been lost
Vlov's principle was entirely killed by Shiki in Ciel route, his Idea Blood retained. Idea Blood are blood principles arising from Crimson Moon's/Inner Sea of the Planet pure blood, but they're distinct from the principles of a Dead Apostle that they develop at Rank 6 (Vlov is fundamentally of this rank), the blood principle merely acts upon the individuated principles of a Dead Apostle, each if they were to possess an Idea Blood. Vlov doesn't retain the qualifications to possess an Idea Blood, that is, being a rank 8, nor does he have the Millennium class that is mandated as a bare minimum necessity. Hence, immature/growth cut off as the text notes in relation to his Hemonomic Principle. I'm sure you know this, but Ciel's Sacrament of Quinze is merely replicating principles as grand magecraft without utilising the Idea Blood or the principle itself, and that irrevocably ends in them being weakened regardless. Ciel possesses the principles of Be'ze, Chromclay, Einnashe and Vlov in her route; the principle that was used to resist the Event Storage phenomenon is Chromclay's Castle therefore Kingdom, Roa even mentions something to this effect later on.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.
The Root has been Tier 0 for months; it's just that its profile hasn't been updated... for some reason.
Gotchu, gotchu, okay yeah it started coming back to me. Had been a bit since I read the Ciel routeVlov's principle was entirely killed by Shiki in Ciel route, his Idea Blood retained.

Is there any evidence for this? And even then, this deflects from the original and more prominent point, of how you'll explain the structure of things in reality, such as 2D And 3D, as from the proposal, the dimensions constituting them do not correspond to geometry and the like, but rather ontologyCoherence solely depends on consciousness and the scale of the 'conscious' agent, of which, thereafter, the material comes to be emergent.
...? I didn't even want to bother replying, not gunna lie, but oh well.Is there any evidence for this? And even then, this deflects from the original and more prominent point, of how you'll explain the structure of things in reality, such as 2D And 3D, as from the proposal, the dimensions constituting them do not correspond to geometry and the like, but rather ontology
And if that's truly what you're going with, why the 1-C Tier? When it still corresponds to material existence, which the proposal rejects dimensions as?
The proposal just says higher dimensionality doesn't ascribe substance, nor does it have to be restricted to extensionality. All the word higher dimension does is refer to higher planes of existence, some may be topological, some may not be, easy peasy. This is largely irrelevant because every relevant scan for Avalon being immaterial is already sent for one. Its nothing like Avalon has been assumed to be immaterial, and unqualifiable through topological means because of that one scan.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.
The entire first section of my explanation is proving the opposite, that higher-dimensional structures based on technology don't apply to the reasons for 1-A.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.

Those were the feelings of anticipation, of curiosity, of fear, held toward something beyond one's grasp.
All these were engraved in his heart as shining stars.
This was the driving force that set everything in motion.
Oh, how sinful it was-
how foolish.
It was then that he swore to the Heavenly Father that he would lay bare the theory that underpinned the universe.
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
- 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.

So long as Gil gets to be 1A,Also, just in case, I'm not sure about committing to anybody being actually 1-A base without it just being smurf hax yet. So I'll be dropping the commitments to outright 1-A Grand Servants, Matured Beasts and Archetype Earth alongside ORT for the time being. Since the reasons for outright 1-A will completely depend on part 2 of the thread, which will cover the nature of spiritrons.
Otherwise, there's no real justification for them being outright 1-A in part 1, so it's pointless to cling to that for now, for the time being, 1-C with 1-A Smurf Hax.

"I possess the same Saint Graph as the Earth, after all.
You could call it an 'Earth Burn', so to speak."
Later, this crystalline lens, which did nothing but reflect dreams, would come to be called:
The Eye of the Moon.
A bottomless Klein Cube.
And the ownerless Type-Moon, which had completely read the entirety of this planet.
Official name: Moon Cell Automaton.
An energy accumulation body discovered inside the Moon.
An artifact created by intelligent lifeforms different from humanity.
It is the supercomputer that serves as the stage for Fate/EXTELLA.
In terms of its cyber-structure, it has been confirmed to have up to seven layers. The first layer, which is the surface of the moon, can be reached even by ordinary hackers.
Intrusion into the second layer and beyond, which constitutes the interior, is difficult unless one is a Wizard... or rather, physical means of intrusion are completely non-existent.
Unless one undergoes soul transfer and becomes an information body in a pseudo-spiritron state, it is impossible to gaze into the abyss.
It's said that magi of the old world accomplished contact with the interior of the Moon Cell as part of their meditation, without even using radio waves.
The Moon Cell is, so to speak, an "eye that observes Earth."
It is a calculation device that faithfully simulates all life on Earth, even making accurate future predictions possible.
Humanity's database. An enormous memory that records everything from their ecology and history to their ideologies and souls.
To intelligent lifeforms whose technological level has improved enough to detect the interior of the moon, it is a forbidden box that promises transition to the next stage and abilities equal to a god.
◆
Originally, it was an observation device placed by an alien civilization.
It was a device that merely recorded the state of life on Earth, but over a long period of time, it came to possess its current functions.
At first, it was an observation device, but, if it is to observe, there must be no "unseen parts."
(Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. The observer determines the event by observing it. Unseen parts are not determined.)
An observation device must be fair. As long as it observes, there must be no unseen parts. As a result, It required functions to know everything about the Earth.
In order to record everything equally and exactly as it is, it needed performance beyond that of a mere observation device.
Thus, the Moon Cell's functions underwent tremendous evolution.
It expanded its functions from observation to surveillance, and ultimately to a calculator capable of grasping even the management of the planet.
As its scale expanded, its management policies became more complex. It created many terminals, and even created artificial intelligence to manage functions section by section. (These would later be utilized as NPCs and High-Level AIs in the Holy Grail War.)
However, on the other hand, It stubbornly refused only one thing: to equip itself with artificial intelligence.
An observer must not possess intelligence.
If the observer had intelligence, the observer would end up determining the meaning of things.
Therefore, the Moon Cell continued to maintain absolute objectivity purely as a single eye... Constantly dismantling anything resembling intelligence that was assembled and born for the sake of functional operation.
Therefore, this calculator has no concept of good and evil, no desire for the future, and not even a conclusion.
It is merely an object that is just there. It existed solely as an automatic writer [typewriter] left behind by God.
However, due to the "Moon Holy Grail War" conducted to record human mental activity, and the choice of the protagonist who won it, the Moon Cell's state of being changed, if only a little.
It provided its vast photon network to Earth's humanity as a second frontier. From now on, SE.RA.PH will no longer be a foundation "for knowing humans," but rather soil "for humans to evolve."
And the Moon Cell will record that history.
Without changing its nature as an observation device that simply provides a world.
That being said. Even if we say it existed before the planet was born, it is not the "first lifeform that existed." After all, it is a soul. A mind.Materially speaking, it might as well not exist. At this stage, it is the same as all the various Divine Spirits or the Elementals born from the planet.An Archetype as a lifeform is actually something born later.
When the intelligent lifeforms that sprouted on that planet mature, they dream, thinking, "I see. So our beginning [illusion], our conclusion [essence], looked like this." That is how it is born.Despite being the starting point of the planet's birth, its "mold" is only finally created during the mature stage of a civilization.It is a supernatural existence known as the Brain of the Planet, yet it is a troublesome child that cannot even perceive its own form without intelligent lifeforms.That is an Archetype: Celestial Body. The "Ultimate One" of that planet.
However, that is strictly the planet's circumstances.It has nothing to do with the intelligent lifeforms that grew on the planet's surface.For intelligent lifeforms, an "Archetype" is not the "original shape," but rather the "original figure."In other words, it is nothing other than the soul meant to succeed them and give birth to a new star.
Kishinami Hakuno
The humanity of this world failed the succession of the Primates.
No, they rebelled against it.
Kishinami Hakuno
It would be fine if they perished without an Archetype ever appearing. They wouldn't be pruned.
Kishinami Hakuno
But to have an Archetype and yet refuse the succession is a deeper sin than anything else. Far from being worthless, it's a terrible precedent.
Kishinami Hakuno
Of course the Human Order would come to crush them in earnest. Deep down, I thought it was already too late.
Kishinami Hakuno
Well, somehow we managed to avoid it, though. Humans can really make things work out when they try, huh.
Mash
Kishinami-san...
[ Choice ] ...What happened in your world, Hakuno-san?
Kishinami Hakuno
Fortunately, the Archetype was born on its own and quickly reached a mutual understanding with humanity.
Kishinami Hakuno
The year 3000 AD. That year, in our world, we were preparing to send the Archetype to space.
Kishinami Hakuno
On the morning right before that, I was summoned to Moon Dubai. On the very morning of the day my duty was finally going to end.
Mash
Duty... Do you mean your duty as humanity—no, as the Primates—was finished?
Kishinami Hakuno
Yeah. It was a life of endless desk work, but just as I thought I'd finally be freed from it...
Kishinami Hakuno
Plus, the female version of myself was right in front of me. I was genuinely taken aback. I thought, "This has turned into a massive ordeal."
In the future, SE.RA.PH is likely to transition from a strictly observational platform to a stage upon which humanity will evolve.
For now, the Moon Cell continues to record history
Its function as a machine that simply provides the world remaining unchanged.
Caubac Alcatraz
The 27th of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors.
His Idea Blood (Genri Kekkai) is "Failure" or "Leftovers."
He is a vampire who was "a follower of the Church even before becoming a Dead Apostle."
Shortly before the transition to the Common Era, he yielded to the Crimson Moon. Because he showed promise, he was given pure blood and made an Ancestor.
Ever since then, lamenting his own transformation into a vampire and feeling he had no right to face his former comrades (fellow believers)—and knowing he’d probably end up killing them if they did meet—he secluded himself in an underground cave.
Through various circumstances, this eventually led to the creation of the great labyrinth, Alcatraz.
Around the year 1000 AD, he completed the Holy Scripture, Triten.
No one has seen him since.
Within the Holy Church and vampire society, the accepted story about Caubac is: "In order to protect the book of truth he wrote, the Holy Scripture Triten, he continually remodeled his castle until it eventually became a massive labyrinth with warped dimensions, trapping even himself inside."
It's said that he was so disgusted by his own body—which could only survive by sucking human blood—that he transformed himself into an inorganic object.
Rumor has it that his form is literally a "padlock."
↓
In Mahoutsukai no Hako (Magician's Box), a new setting was added: Hibiki is actually an artificial lifeform (Triten) who turned into a human and blended into society.
Based on the philosophy that, "This world was created by the Lord, and the underground is enveloped in His love. Even humans turning into a violent mob and shouting, 'Hyahhaa, food!' is a form of God's love. The true shape of God's love is seriously beyond human comprehension," the Holy Scripture Triten was written as an attempt to understand and record the Lord's love.
The punchline is that, when pushed to its absolute logical limit, it ended up becoming a model case of the universe.
Naturally, he had no intention of making a model of the universe; it just turned out that way when he built it.
Reaching the conclusion that "Proof of the existence of the Lord's love" = "The Universe," Caubac recognized his own righteousness. At the same time, deciding he needed to hide this absurdly cool treasure that absolutely everyone would covet, he built the labyrinth.
Because of this, the labyrinth expands at the speed of the universe. It is seriously impossible to escape.
Here is where the Mahoutsukai no Hako lore evolves. Caubac had absolute confidence in Triten, but while he took his eyes off it for a moment, Triten vanished from its vault and somehow turned into a human at a Japanese cafe.
Triten = the proof of the Lord's love. Yet, as a result of evolution, that very Triten had the gall to turn into a human!
"Thou shalt not see God within thyself" is a Catholic tenet.
So, if Caubac were to find out about Hibiki, the shock would literally make him crap his pants.
He would realize that, intending to prove God's existence, he had inadvertently proven that God does not exist.
※ Supplement
The reason Triten says, "I was wrong," stems from ideas like: "You must not see God within yourself," "You must not pray for your own sake" (Prayer is for the Lord. Praying to the Lord for salvation is a no-go. You pray strictly for the Lord. This is the exact same state of mind as Caren), and "The Lord's love is absolute and must not be doubted. Therefore, you must not desire any form of the Lord other than what is in the scriptures."
God's love = this world.
The world we live in is the embodiment of God's love, and no matter what suffering fills the world, that too is just one part of the system of God's great work (love).
The world was created by the Lord's will.
If I thoroughly analyze the human system (soul, body, mind) and properly document it in a book, couldn't the Lord's love be clearly presented?
Thinking this, Caubac began creating all sorts of descriptions and models, thoroughly analyzing all of creation to give it form, and ultimately ended up creating a model case of the universe.
(He didn't realize it was a model case of the universe until it was finished.)
Then, he strongly convinced himself that the fact this universe functioned correctly (even if devoid of life) was proof that "the Lord's love" existed and was accepted in the world.
Caubac built the labyrinth to protect this treasure.
(He wasn't afraid of it being misused; he was genuinely just terrified of it being stolen.)
To him, as long as he had Triten, nothing else mattered.
Or rather, since he had basically reached the finish line as a Dead Apostle, he was in a complete NEET state. He only needed Triten.
But if he found out that Triten had started moving around as a human, he'd be in a massive panic.
A shock on par with getting your computer infected with a virus after visiting a **** site.
He created the perfect idol of God, and it turned into a human.
So, are humans God?
Is God born from humans?
Does God become human?
That's impossible. God is not within humans.
Yet Triten became human.
This means that from the start, there was nothing but humans in the universe.
= God does not exist.
His logic spirals into something like this, causing Caubac's brain to essentially blue-screen.
Though paralyzed and unable to move a single step, he somehow holds his ground thanks to his innate strong will and power of delusion:
"One more time. Let me look at Triten one more time.
Maybe I made a mistake somewhere. Or perhaps Triten really is—no, never mind."
And so he begins searching for Hibiki—that is the backstory of Mahoutsukai no Hako.
※ Continuation of "Or perhaps Triten really is—"
Triten was a model case of a universe devoid of life.
(Life, in this case, refers to intelligent lifeforms capable of self-evolution.)
However, in the process of growing as a universe, it gave birth to life.
That truly is the very work of God itself.
If Triten, the ultimate expression of the Lord's love, gives birth to a human, then that ultimately serves as proof that this world itself is the Lord's love.
Yay, I wasn't wrong after all!
But... the problem is, since I created Triten myself, I totally violated the doctrine that says you shouldn't create God, didn't I? I mean, if it's a God that a human can create...
...And so he falls into the ultimate mental labyrinth.
Having said all that, from Caubac's perspective, even if Hibiki is Triten (God), he would reject her, saying:
"God is something that exists (abstractly), not someone who is present (physically)."
God's love exists.
But it must not take a human-like form.
It must not be in a form that humans can comprehend.
It should not exist as a living being.
With a cool line like that, he'd reject Hibiki, or pretend he never saw her.
...Doing so would be a total repudiation of his two thousand years of struggle, ruining his own convictions by his own hand, but even so, he prioritized "the ideal love of God" over "his own happiness and salvation."

In order for me to return to reality, I should just have to leave Room 404. However, in the first place, the inside of Room 404 is Earth's universe. Does that mean, based on the concept of "going outside," there is no escape from this space?
○ Lagrange Luxury: EX
LL. An artificial celestial body created to eternally observe the Earth and Moon, named after the Lagrange points. Though it wasn't built in normal space, it seems to exist in Imaginary Number Space. Originally massive, it has been miniaturized and used as an accessory for BB Dubai, thanks to some mysterious technology called "Perspective Realism Ether Lens." This ability applies a debuff to all enemies, exploiting the gravitational differences between the Earth and the Moon.

And yet... I wonder why I'm so entwined with mankind…"
By that time, my body will have long since rotted.
And yet the
knowledge
world
of humanity will continue to expand.
One day, humanity shall discern in advance even light that lies millions of years ahead.
...Such was the future I saw.
And it was an exhilarating sight.
Thinking back, I must have lost my drive.
I had collected all that should be collected.
There was no further joy to be had in that era.
Then it is a simple matter of departing with integrity.
I’ll experience death as many times as necessary.
Time and again I shall revive.
Time and again I shall observe.
Until the end of this world.
Until the day comes when humanity reaches beyond my
garden. (planet)
,setting sail for the dark sea―――until the day comes when humanity reaches the end of the sky
and strikes its final note.”
人理の果て、刻の終わり。
既に星から生命は去り、
物語がうまれる事はなくなった。
黄昏を知らなかった楽園の日は落ち、
すべての幻想は土塊に還っていった。
At the end of the Human Order, the end of time.
Life has already departed from the planet,
and stories are born no more.
The sun has set on a paradise that knew no twilight,
and all fantasies have returned to being clods of earth.

Um... Glass... Should I be slightly concerned about this when Shin uh, didn't know who they were...?@Reiner04 He does have the rights, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed him @ me![]()
Hello all! Shin invited me here to challenge/test the integrity of his arguments, so I’ll do that later, but for now, I have a few questions.
I don't know who you are, but m'kay, I'll respond later. You definitely don't type or argue like Marshadow, though, man, definitely.
How does Maris-Chaldeas not being completely Omniscient contradict its nature? Even Arcueid in Luminary form is subject to bouts of incompetence.
We've already run into a sneaky little false equivalence. Let's conveniently ignore the fact that the manifestations of Arcueid, including Luminary, are not omniscient because Arcueid freely choose to pick out which information she absorbs from the Celestial Egg in combat. Common knowledge for anybody who has read the visual novel, anyway. We are told this in her route, and we are told this when she fights Ciel and absorbs the information of her surroundings.Even Arcueid in Luminary form is subject to bouts of incompetence.
I've already explained "omniscience" here to just be self-contemplation, which the avatar doesn't possess to the same degree as the Celestial Egg does. But let's get your commitments clear here, since you like using a roundabout way to nitpick statements in the source material by isolating context. Kukulkan claims Archetype: Earth to fundamentally be aware of all the events that occur on the Planet, and it is affirmed in Lostbelt 7 that the Archetype not only knows the history of all life before it even comes to be, but it cannot forget such sights. What's your stance and interpretation of these scans? What are your commitments regarding these scans? Let's stop beating around the bush and actually pick your brains for the first time in your life. Furthermore, you ask what about it not being omniscient even within its domain contradicts its nature as being the Soul of the Planet. Which tells me two thingsOlga Chaldeas is repeatedly stated to be an accurate copy of the planet’s soul, in both data volume and structure. This is reflected by U-Olga, the brain of Olga-CHALDEAS, having the exact same mass and Saint Graph as the Earth itself, just like Arcueid.
Oh? Yes, yes. Let's completely pretend this changes anything whatsoever. Unless you forgot, just never knew or conveniently ignored the part where you're told what arrives inside the Mooncell is the output destination of consciousness that actually comes from the Soul?What the Mooncell couldn’t understand was the human mind, which is seperate from the soul.
I also liked how this was just a one-sentence response, how I wish such nuance could be addressed with just a single sentence. I mean, what's the point here? Is it that even if the Mooncell doesn't understand the mind, you know what the soul generates? It can understand the soul, and therefore, my argument for the Mooncell being subordinate to the Celestial Egg doesn't follow?It is said that in the past, there were miracles that sought to materialize the soul on Earth. However, these miracles were lost during the Great Collapse of the 1970s. Afterward, magi who accepted the end of their era incorporated modern science—which had previously been taboo to them—and redefined the concept of the soul. This new interpretation is called the "magical theory of pseudo-spiritrons," the projection of consciousness.Previously, consciousness could only be emitted through the physical body. However, magi succeeded in measuring the soul’s position and projecting its output into a new, heavenly cyber domain as a digital duplicate. This allowed magi to completely transfer themselves into the electronic world, enabling them to acquire information on a much higher level.Fate/Extra Material
Except that the reason why certain principles like the Root embody a sense of 'omniscience' to them, in spite of being beyond will and deliberation. Is solely because of how causation is tied with knowledge, as Touko explains it, "if you know the origin, the results are naturally produced". In the context of hypostaseis, things that are created by just existing and abiding by themselves (in the case of the Celestial Egg and the Akashic Records, it is because of self-contemplation). All causes can be "found within it", and naturally, all results can be known through it. Arcueid herself also says this of the relationship between causation and knowledge when she describes the Root.“The thing called the Swirl of the Root, it is probably the birthplace of everything. All phenomena flow out from it. If you know the origin, the results are naturally produced. To describe it as it is, you could say that it’s the ‘perfect knowledge’.
Which, funny enough, is also the reason why the Archetype or the Celestial Egg (the hollow of the cosmos), properly speaking, is considered omniscient. To be that hollow is to know everything about the universe, because the universe is emergent from that Celestial Egg.If this “hollow” can be proven, one can speak of cosmic celestial bodies. If one oneself can become this “hollow,” then one can know everything about the universe.
This is similar to a celestial body not forming a brain until being taught by the intelligent lifeforms on it.
I absolutely love this response, though, for two reasons. One, it's just never stated that the Mooncell uses souls to "create a brain of its own", so it's absolutely hilarious how you, honest to god, chose to ignore narrative consistency by dreaming bullshit up. And two, this equivalence that you're trying to force is absolutely hilarious. Because, for one, the Archetype doesn't use its species to create a "brain" for itself.Its even called an Ownerless Type-Moon in Extra Mats, and Hakuno confirms in OC3 that it is capable of birthing its own Archetype. That is what it meant by inviting humans to teach it. It wanted a mold to construct its own brain. The Moon Cell is stated to have completely read the entirety of the planet, down to the management systems. Fate Extra even implies that humanity will become the prime species of it.
To quote your own scans, scans that you read with tunnel vision, I guess. A vessel emerges once the sapient species is mature enough, and it emerges in likeness to that species. Your own scans explicitly say the Archetype already exists as a mind, before it becomes the living Archetype, and this is the Archetype as formless. The brain exists long before this. What are the similarities here? I wonder what it looks like for the Mooncell to create a brain for itself for the giggles. Is it the Mooncell giving itself neurons, or is it the Mooncell giving itself a soul? Find out next time in Fate/Extra II, limited addition I guess. Hakuno never says what you said in any case.That being said. Even if we say it existed before the planet was born, it is not the "first lifeform that existed." After all, it is a soul. A mind.Materially speaking, it might as well not exist. At this stage, it is the same as all the various Divine Spirits or the Elementals born from the planet.An Archetype as a lifeform is actually something born later.When the intelligent lifeforms that sprouted on that planet mature, they dream, thinking, "I see. So our beginning [illusion], our conclusion [essence], looked like this." That is how it is born.Despite being the starting point of the planet's birth, its "mold" is only finally created during the mature stage of a civilization
Regarding your response to this specific statement, guess what? Guess what?The Moon Cell is stated to have completely read the entirety of the planet, down to the management systems.
This is straight from my OP.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.

Take your time, fam, I'm in no particular rush.I’ll see if I can get a full response to the thread, though it’ll take quite a bit for me to get the response ready since there’s a lot to read here
