TenSura LN Revision — The Land Promised To Us 3000 Years Ago

so ur just gonna ignore the contention and move on. yeah cool. ill take this as you agreeing nirvana and refinement are accidental changes and therefore its impossible for it to be 1-A. i really dont care about what happens when, ur not contending what it actually does.
Ignore what now?

Tell me one reason how it was ever a contention lmao
To counter your contention I need you to first have a proper contention and not a bunch of unrelated things mixed together into what you believe is a contention bruh 😭

It's genuinely the same as trying to conclude "Jungsi is the tallest in class" from premise like "he's the richest in class" and "he has the best grades", ngl
point being, you cant establish an essential gap. now im not sure if ur tryna equivocate on the term essence but ur application of essence here makes no sense if we use what vsbw considers an essence.

in anycase, u dont have a problem with it being accidental, so you dont have a problem with it being not 1-A.
???
You're genuinely taking words and mixing them in a mumbo jumbo without even trying to make it sound coherent.

Edit: also love how you're ignoring the point related to swords having souls after getting caught for cropping scans in the most outrageous way possible.

By complaining I think same with readers by begging or forcing authors to change or alter the stories
It wouldn't count bcs the author is still the one changing the story not the readers/consumers, and the author can just ignore what they say bcs they have no authority for that but since it still counts as an Qualitative superiority, it would mean that having control is not a specific requirement for qualitative superiority.

I know that but some stories did get altered because of that
 
For R > F fiction being changed by reality doesn't matter. Look at Yumiella, who is just normal haxless girl in "1-A" world anyway.
Exactly, it's not an specific requirements for you to actually control the lower world, the requirements is for you to transcend it in an R>F way. So yea I agree with this and I don't think there's any good argument for the opposing side rn.

There should be still connection between them in Tensura case, although you can't control dream 1000% without dream manipulation or whatever(but in some case dreams can be unconventionaly controlled by human) but dreams should be still dependant on you

This is what we meant proper "Dreaming"

Dreaming as thought or seeing media, book different but you get what I meant
 
Sure the authors are still one in control but what I mean is that the consumers/readers still get some kind influence if the authors get pressure enough
Happen in real life so why not
That all I have to
Again, I'll say it one more time, just bcs you can do it to one of the authors doesn't mean you have full control over it. From what I'm seeing here, you said earlier that a superior realms/character should have full control over the lower reality but rn it seems like you've changed from "FULL CONTROL" to "SOME FORM OF CONTROL" 🤨

Well I'm not against the scaling if that what you worry about
The authors and their consumers in same realm of existence so yeah

Im sorry what. Atp im questioning if you even know what 1-A is. think about it this way. for non 1-A to go from 1-A, there requires change yes? we both agree to this. now the issue here is that change HAS to be in regards to the essence. Now if im claiming that such a change is not in regards to the essence, what do you think the contention is? it cant get any more explicit than that. and this is like the second response uve made that doenst address the antifeats.

You're genuinely taking words and mixing them in a mumbo jumbo without even trying to make it sound coherent.
just because you dont understand doesnt mean its not coherent. and this isnt a resolution. if you dont understand what i said, you can just ask. you dont have to waste time by not responding. Now can you please address the point made above. and also idk why YOU are focusing on swords not having souls since again ur explanation of it being dormant is not explicit.

bro I will make 1-A accepted if cringe args from Vsex keeps going
acting like ur better than him

I just want to point out that "sufficient portrayal" being equal to "having control over the lower reality" is only your interpretation and isn't directly stated within the standards
For the R>F transcendence to be indexed, the portrayal of the transcendence must be taken into account. If the transcendence is treated as sufficiently portrayed and is important to the story (i.e. being the literal author of the world with complete control over it), then it's valid. If it is not sufficiently portrayed as transcendence compared to the fictional world, then we would not index it as such and would simply tier it as if no R>F transcendence was involved.
mmm yess, it is only my interpretation dw.

Remind me, since when do consumers have control over the story?
they dont need to. they would have the same level of existence as the author. or are you saying theres a distinction between author and consumer states of existences even though they live on the same plane.

Becoming a 1A through some process is not an anti-feat if it's governed by a higher entity (the World Language, which controls all evolution) or if it's done through some sort of shedding rather than addition.
What does bro think Sublimation and release from causality is?

The ascendant leaves behind their Soul (essence) and their Heart core goes through Sublimation (transforming into a purer/simpler state, so much so that even their information is left behind).

So there's not really any anti feat here. A 1-A can make a non 1A into a 1-A as long as it's not through quantitative addition anyways, so the World Language rules over your contention ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

You expect me to understand something when you don't even elaborate on what you mean bruh

idk what ur trying to address here. the contention of 1-A here goes towards the higher entity aswell. u dont really prove why its 1-A independently of PL.
and my point still stands? it doenst matter what entity does it nor who does it. ur not addressing the fact of how it does it. so ill say it again
Now if im claiming that such a change is not in regards to the essence, what do you think the contention is?
it could be a high 1-A entity for all i care. doesnt change the fact. Ive given my reasoning for why sublimation is a non 1-A process and hence means PL is non 1-A. if you dont address this im gonna leave it up to the mods.

Although I get what main doubt is, you are wording it very badly
maybe me and him share something in common(not really)
 
mmm yess, it is only my interpretation dw.
Ah yes, an example is the only possible qualifier, of course
No other possibilities exist
they dont need to. they would have the same level of existence as the author. or are you saying theres a distinction between author and consumer states of existences even though they live on the same plane.
Another one of the examples
However, it can also be applied to any character who authors a lower world of existence or even a 'player' who simply consumes the media rather than authors it.
Nowhere is it stated that having power over the media is a prerequisite
 
idk what ur trying to address here. the contention of 1-A here goes towards the higher entity aswell. u dont really prove why its 1-A independently of PL.
Because I don't need to... If X is proposed as 1-A and Y created X, and Y created a system that allows Z to ascend to X, I do not need to prove why Y is independently 1-A when his state of superiority or his upscaling from X never changes.

Yeah I'll be leaving that to the mods as well since refinement and sublimation ain't even the same here, one happens when you're alive and one happens when you're dead. DEAD
 
never said this. ur just saying it because i proved you wrong.
You didn't?
You originally said this
the proper instances of r>f actually involve control over the lower reality.
I said that there is no standard stating that sufficient portrayal is equal to having control over the lower reality

And there's no such. The only thing mentioned is an example, not equalization
which i already said is fine and makes sense.
Which doesn't make sense from what you're arguing due to portrayal

Since he has no control over the lower reality, which is requirement for all r>f from what you say

Yet ur trying to justify X being 1-A using Y which is lwk fallacious dude lock in.

Yeah I'll be leaving that to the mods as well since refinement and sublimation ain't even the same here
yo bro, BOTH of them are accidental changes. and because ur unable to prove otherwise as far as this conversation goes, the PL is not 1-A.

You didn't?
You originally said this
yes i said that. whats the issue. or are you insinuating that improper instances are impossible?
I said that there is no standard stating that sufficient portrayal is equal to having control over the lower reality

whats wrong with examples. and is that not on the standard page? and im not exactly sure what ur tryna say with equalization.

i think ur misunderstanding. SOMEONE of the same existence still has control over lower reality and therefore it is superior in a proper sense. the actual creator upscales the rest of the inhabitants.
 
Yet ur trying to justify X being 1-A using Y which is lwk fallacious dude lock in.
??
I am not justifying X being 1-A cuz Y dawg, I'm justifying Z being 1-A cuz Y created the system that way. Where are your tracking skills 😭
X is Promised Land, Y is Velda, Z is a random ascendant. World Language is the system
yo bro, BOTH of them are accidental changes. and because ur unable to prove otherwise as far as this conversation goes, the PL is not 1-A.
Ah yes, the old "X is the case unless you prove me wrong" without even proving why your premise is true lmao
As I said above, World Language solos your larp
 
Hmm, what directly proves that sublimation makes the heart core abandon information constituting it? as the heart core itself is information, and it's the heart core itself that is released from samsara and proceeds to the PL. cited passage proves liberation causal independence and relocatiobn but i don't see where it proves the loss of it's informational nature

the einherjar part also doesn't really solve it, as it only shows masayuki created informational reproductions bvut not that the originals in the PL are inforfmationless

and even IF you grant informationless it proves non participation in Tensuras spatiotemoral system but not necessarily QS over it without proof that sublimation removes the heart core information and places it irreducibly above every informational form of exisrtence

as to what it seems to me would be, a heart core is purified and gets transferred to an external afterlife
 
yes i said that. whats the issue. or are you insinuating that improper instances are impossible?

whats wrong with examples. and is that not on the standard page? and im not exactly sure what ur tryna say with equalization.
I'm saying that interpreting "substantial portrayal" as "having control over the lower reality" with the basis being only one of the multiple aspects of the example is an inherently flawed method
i think ur misunderstanding. SOMEONE of the same existence still has control over lower reality and therefore it is superior in a proper sense. the actual creator upscales the rest of the inhabitants.
Which by our standards is the opposite? If the supposed 1-A exists in the same reality as beings that have no similar portrayal, it is an anti-feat for the 1-A, not the other way around
The only way for this to work is for those other people to have a similar portrayal, which, by your argument, they don't


Also, another media qualifying for 1-A is Thoughts
Did you know that you cannot change a thought without it being another thought entirely?

we can agree to disagree on this. its just getting dragged
Which by our standards is the opposite? If the supposed 1-A exists in the same reality as beings that have no similar portrayal, it is an anti-feat for the 1-A, not the other way around
what. if the beings that have no similar portrayal share the same essence as the 1-A being, then no its not an antifeat. 1-A literally instates that its 1-A as long as it maintains its particular nature.

I am not justifying X being 1-A cuz Y dawg, I'm justifying Z being 1-A cuz Y created the system that way.
legit the same thing with extra steps.

Ah yes, the old "X is the case unless you prove me wrong" without even proving why your premise is true lmao
the reason its accidental is the fact that the context describes it as refinement, which means to remove impurities, this can be seen in the analogy of a raw gold nugget. the fact that its raw and a nugget or in other words, impure doesnt change the fact that its still gold in essence. and so by removing those impurities it still doesnt change the essence. and the impurities/limitations of the soul is just the cleansing of non essential properities. This is even further shown as the text talks about "people aiming for a better world" and "overcoming challenges" which is describing conditions they face rather than what they actually are.
very much so. me? i could never prove my premise(dont look up). maybe read the argument instead of pretending to read it. and yes it applies to sublimation since you urself say its the removal of impurities
 
I don't really think that the r>F is substantiated enough. I read through the Promised Land chapter since it's only a couple pages, and the general idea I got from it was simply that they have passed onto an afterlife/place outside of the world, and are thinking back on the memories of that life. And refer to such as the dream.

The counterargument for this interpretation simply states that "it says it's a dream multiple times so clearly it must really be a R>F difference," but the issue is that just calling something a dream multiple times over isn't enough to substantiate an ontological gap in their existence.

Most notably, there's a lack of non-composition. The consciousnesses in the promised land aren't differentiated from those in the worlds. Just being liberated from the world isn't proof of non-composition if they are ultimately of the same substance. From Deonments message it also seems to be the case that the specific aspect attaining enlightment is the one composed of information, so it can't be used for a non-information argument.

It's fine if you disagree. I'm not staff, so my opinion doesn't matter. But I don't really see the evidence as compelling. Perhaps some do, though.
