Do you want to me like...list everything wrong with this in rapid fire? Because there's A LOT of things to list
First and foremost, this realis on multiple fallacious arguments; it's a non-sequitur, an anecdotal fallacy, false uniqueness bias, and just a straight out fabrication of what the text tells us, it doesnât say only few-dimensioned beings view fragmentation, it just says that few-dimensioned beings view fragmentation; youâre baselessly equating that with only
Secondly, for like the 7th time this thread, youâve completely ignored the blog and regurgitated things weâve already refuted, the hounds of tindalos states that time and space are two sides of the same coin; so if something surpassed one, than by necessity it surpassed the other as their inherent to each other
But I'll humor you and give you a simple question; how is it that Carter, or Kuranes, or Atal, or any other dreamer still perceive fragmentation, yet exist beyond dimensionality? Hell, we could go off the current rating of Dreaming Self and it would still disprove your belief since according to the cosmology page, the dreamlands are infinite-dimensional
Not enough for you? How about the Ancient Ones, or the Other Gods, or Hypnos, or literally any other character well beyond, or if you wanted to downplay it, at the pinnacle of dimensionality. How do they still perceive differentiation if it only applied to beings of limited dimensions?
And last but not least, I thought I already explained to you how fragmentation works on that other thread? You said you were on vacation or something so you didnât respond to it, but in short, the âfragmentationâ is a result of individual entities being bound to the illusion of âperspective,â to explain what perspective is, Lovecraft gives the analogy of a cone being sliced at different angles. One slice makes a circle, another makes an ellipse, another makes a parabola, and so on. To someone only looking at the slices, those shapes seem completely different and separate from each other. But in reality, none of them are separate things at all. They are all just different cross-sections of the exact same cone. The cone itself was never divided or changed; only the perspective at which you view it was changed, but what's beyond the Ultimate Gate belies all perspective as that cone itself, so when Carter passes the Ultimate Gate, he is no longer viewing only one slice of the cone. He he was viewing all slices at once in one inseparable totality, or more accurately, he became the whole thing instead of just being one unreal slice of it, which is why he saw (or actually became since theyâre as much himself as he is himself) "multiple" (but not actually multiple)

(but I also wanted add weight to your comment with the question of âhow are beyond-dimensional/infinite-dimensional beings bound to perspective if it only applied to the beings of limited dimensions?")
