Weird equivocation. Didn't you make the distinction between meta-space and space earlier, or that 1-A metaspaces are space as well? Pretty sure there is a meaningful distinction between them. Do you mind giving me a quote where the metaspaces require a spatial axis for 1-A? Pretty absurd to move to that.Unluckily, I don't see what this changes. Considering that a logical space is a modal dimension. Obviously, it doesn't take much to know from there that space is spatial, so I don't see the relevant distinction between applying this to "spatial dimensions" and not all "spaces" of which spaces are spatial.
Furthermore, I'd like to note that the definition with which you used to derive that entailment. Just says "dimensionless", which doesn't entail any definitional constraints to just geometric dimensions. The only way this even works as an argument once more is if you selectively choose where that constraint applies
The word works contextually, such as I highlighted in the Dunwich Horror. Undimensioned comes from the inability to inherent dimensionality from space due to a lack of space by transcendence of space.These are your arguments. But if you so wish to let go of that definition of "undimensioned" as dimensionless (not geometrically, but simpliciter).
The next things around undimensioned are related of course. Of course it would be disingenuous if I assumed the transcendence of dimensions alone to be determined from the definition only, that is why in my cosmology blog, and in the debunk blog, how it all comes to play. The cosmology blog describes why it is 1-A neatly, and doesn't entirely rely on being beyond dimensions.Which you clearly tried to use to derive that conclusion. Then, once again, there's no explanatory power for why this would be 1-A/High 1-A. So this is pretty much up to you.
Same as beforeSeems like a confusion on your end then, because logical spaces are modal dimensions, which is why I said this silly false dichotomy of an attempt at a reductio when taken seriously would imply being Tier 0. Because that's the only tier where the category of all types of dimensions dissolves. It doesn't look like you disagree with me, judging from your response, because your response hinges on the confused assumptions of 'dimensions' being only predicable to planes with geometric properties.
Those contradictions arise only because you want a geometrical interpretation. The blogs show how to reconcile these contradictions though, if there are any in that case. Restating your position x1.Nobody is asking you for more buzzword statements. What is being asked is for a proper reconciliation of several, at least 10 statements contradicting everything here, being outright 1-A and beyond.
Not my choice i'm afraid.Repeating yourself will do you no good, really, nor is that productive.
I never denied that Lovecraft used dimensionality to explain Archetypal Infinity(I mean thats clear lol), but interpreting it as an actual dimensional ladder creates internal contradictions with other stories, the letter and within TTGOTSK itself, which is precisely why it should be treated as an analogy rather than a literal dimensional hierarchy.What you mean is "you think they are metaphorical" because you want to uplift the cosmology to heights where it shows itself to be shaky, yes? Because it seems damning to me again that these dimensions are associated with geometric shapes like cubes and squares
You are a bit mad huh? Either way, yes, it is metaphorical, because we know what happens. Forms and positions are only given by the mind of Carter, and Carter in this part is an Ancient one.Damn, I guess that must also be metaphorical... One must wonder much like sisyphus and people have the gall to say "YoU aRE sTrAwMaNnInG rIGhT, BoOhOo sToP iT iT HuRts mY sOuL mAyN"
Did you bother to read the blog at all? (Or the quote, or the story for that matter). This proves to me that you didn't even bother checking the cosmology blog, because if you did, you would know that the scan here doesn't describe the monster. Funnily enough, in the whole story, the monster is theorized to be a multi-dimensional entity and allat in that quote you took. However, at the end it's revealed that it's neither matter or ether or anything conceivable by the mortal mind.Damn, I didn't know 1-A's also had three states of matter constituting their ontologies
Like I said previously, I never denied that Lovecraft used dimensionality to explain archetypal infinity. I said that if you were to take a literal dimensional reading, the whole thing collapses into contradiction. (which I proved in the blog).True, just as you'd have a problem in thinking they aren't geometrical, because of the apparent contradictions you lot refuse to reconcile, and only push to the side by accepting the best buzzwords that can get you a higher tiering. Almost like this wasn't the reason why, again, the ultimate abyss was downgraded to possibly 1-A.
Notice how none of this doesn't contradict them having geometric properties? Good one, boy. Moving on.
So much explanation. I highlighted (iirc Okstrike as well?) why it does so in the blog and previous replies.False.
Load of words to just restate what was said previously. I'm too lazy to write my rebuttal again.Wheeze, you're gonna have to try something new. I already had to correct the misunderstanding of 'wholeness' and 'partial manifestation' as ontological statements.
So again. I'll ask. What are these dimensions? Tell us. We're waiting. What's the metaphor behind the cubes? The shapes? Why choose geometric shapes to represent constitutive relations instead of just using reflective analogies without commitments to physical geometric shapes? Why? Tell us. Be our Messiah, I'm quiteee curious, you see.
- Because to say something is a partial manifestation is a relation against, not a constitutive property of ontology. I'm asking you what is constitutive of those dimensions. Now I would be willing to accept an alternative description of them that has nothing to do with the constitution, but the way in which relations subsist within these dimensions. And it must be such that it implies them being 1-A/High 1-A, because, new flash, none of this is unique to those tiers. So you lose explanatory power there, too.
- Regarding the wholeness of gates, that also runs into a problem because a whole by itself is just a relation related to what is part of the whole. And what the whole is, constitutively has not been answered but pushed aside again evasively. Nothing new, this was already happening in the downgrade thread.
- The last point being "they are analogical" is an example of the inability to express your own interpretations rigorously, because they lack rigour and hinge on leaps in logic. To say something analogical is not an answer to what "something is" but what "something is not" in a literal sense, only giving us a parallel or property relation between "what is" and "what is metaphorical" of that which is.
Yeah man!Maybe you might be concerned with got ya moments, but I don't care for optics again! Tis is a power scaling site; nobody cares about "got ya" or whatever that is supposed to mean. Yo "got ya! time to pack it up buh bye pookiebear sowwy to ruin it all mannnnn I hate myself for being a meanie poopoohead it's lowkirkenuinely joever"
Same as before, [insert clip of Jordan Peterson getting ragebaited by Piers Morgan]This does not address anything. Space is spatial. And dimensions are dimensional. Logical Spaces are spaces and Logical Spaces are dimensional, for they are modal dimensions. If this is a semantics game, Tommy, as you call it, then you must know you lit up the fire, unfortunately, in choosing to ignore the context of the statement:
"Dimensions we knew" doesn't change what "undimensioned" means sadly. I mean fun on your part to ignore the Dunwich Horror and the Hounds of Tindalos(and the Unnamable now that I think of it.)Which states that it is outside of the dimensions "we know", so obviously not maximally outside of dimensions, right after saying undimensioned. And the best argument in the blog was "erm, category error, because it says undimensioned and undimensioned is not dimensional, then ignore the other part of the statement because [Insert buzzword] is cool for upscales. And I'm holding you to the standards of your definition, and telling you with that same line of reasoning, because every Tier aside from Tier 0 is spatial to different degrees. Then why not just argue for this being Tier 0, if we just never cared about the context? #NotMyMessiah
That is kind of hypocritical, don't you think. I agree though, it is going circular. I've already laid out how your contradictions are your own.Lol. Don't you think these contradictions exist precisely because you're forcing a grand reading onto a foundation of a verse that has it quite shaky under those tiers? Do you or do you not see how utterly unproductive this becomes, Messiah? You see how unproductive this response was? We can posture/argue for fifty pages, repeating ourselves, both calling it ‘true’ because who wouldn't and why not? I’m not interested in that kind of stalemate, nor am I fond of wasting away my precious time. What I've been trying to do is to prevent this by asking for a reconciliation of these contradictions that doesn't just hinge on wanting to accept the highest possible interpretation and nothing more...?
Oh man I seriously hope I didn't previously provide a debunk for this.In the previous blog, I proposed a holistic and non-contradictory account of all of this, and gave an example with a parallel of David Bohm's implicate order. A multi-dimensional principle that just so also happens to be the source of fragmentation, as an unbroken wholeness. An unbroken wholeness that has it that fragmentation itself is illusory.
Which, funny enough, is just an infinite-dimensional reality. The contradiction doesn't exist because of assuming those are real dimensions; it fundamentally exists because you don't compensate for your lack of understanding of topology by clinging to the best Pokemon card ahh collection of buzzwords you can find once again. I mean, how do you expect this interpretation to be taken seriously when neither of you can even begin to provide a rigorous terminological distinction between Lovecraft dimensions and topological spaces?
This is basically dodging the refutation I brought. But it is, the earth that is in ALL dimensions IS CUT by an higher one, so you are not answering to the issue I brought up, you are evading it. This is what the letter claims btw. "Well it is not of whatever or not adding dimensions" well it is, because this earth is cut by another.The Ultimate Gate is not outside these dimensions if we are strictly speaking about the description in this statement. The only thing is saying is supposing the existence of all dimensions was, then the Ultimate Gate amidst it all is a 'space' (totally not dimensional and spatially!) where all of those dimensions converge into oneness.
Its not a matter of whether or not you add dimensions by assuming the ultimate gate is dimensional. Its that all dimensions within the verse, all point towards the same grounding reality. Oops, I meant the same grounding space! Must've been metaphorical too hehhh...
Already responded to in the blog, and in an earlier reply.Daily reminder inside again, there's still multiplicity. Irrespective of who is an illusion and who is not, inside the Ultimate Abyss, there's multiplicity. This is not Tier 0.
I mean it is clear we aren't going to finish this, we can wait for Ultima to come online, unless you want to continue drawing a circle.
