Acausality and a bit of cosmology specific abilities indexing clarifications

Hello!

Permission from @ActuallySpaceMan42

So for a bit (cant remember how long) i and a few other have been under the belief that verses with branching timelines cannot have acausality type 1 due to it being a "cosmology specific ability", so verses with MWI or other versions of branching timelines were exempt from the ability. However recently, there have been many arguments explaining that this is an applicable ability verse wide since by nature of MWI and branching timelines, the characters are immune to changes in the past. This also kinda goes into my next thing about cosmology applicable abilities.

So in this CRT it was argued multiple times that because of Brane cosmology, a verse specific cosmology, that gravity hax wouldnt be applicable for AP because "gravity in branes has the same force on every dimension" and thus gravity abilities are not indexable for AP or VS matchups without the same cosmology under this idea.

My main question would be; "are these really not applicable because of the cosmology" and if so why not? Acausality itself is cosmology based, not every verse has the same function of time so abilities like type 1 3 or 4 acausality would be really weird to apply in a vs matchup because not every verse applies time and causality the same. Info 2 and cm reality warping dura neg power null power resistence (these last 2 in some cases not all) would be very weird to apply because not every verse has the same concepts or info 2 justification nor are they at the same level.

This would likely mean every verse with branching timelines or something of the sort would get acausality type 1 but it can be a bit stricter if you want im not too particular about it, this is mostly just for clarification.
