I will only (and can only) permit you to make one post at a time, after seeing the post you intend to make.

Do u mean to say I must type out the whole post here itself for u to evaluate first, before I can post it there?

Except for those dimensions that are expanded beyond Aleph-1 or have a context that the cosmology is larger than Aleph-1. We will default use a Low 1-A rating for those statements.

What kind of statements will this CRT affect?
  1. "Beyond any dimensions"
  2. "Source of Dimensions"
  3. "No matter how many Dimensions"
  4. "No matter how high is the plane of existence"
  5. Beyond the concept of dimensions.
First of all I'd like to clarify that the statements you have provided for the scenarios have very little info to interpret them properly for Tiering purposes. But I'll still give it a shot at it.
1. is, without much more context but enough for the superiority to be at least identified as proper qualitative superiority, in my opinion to be ranked as however many dimensions the verse is known to have +1. That's because such a statement can easily refer to actually existent dimensions, and not include abstract dimensions that only exist in some mathematicians head.

2. is, if being the source scales to AP, to be ranked at the level of creating all dimensions the verse is known to have. I think being the source of dimensions quite clearly refers to just the existing ones.

3. is a bit incomplete... let's say the full statement is "no matter how many dimensions there are the character can destroy them". Is... well, arbitrarily high into 1-B.

4. I would default to the highest shown in the verse, unless we have somehow been told there can be unlimited ones. As a reason, consider the statement "no matter how high a building you climb on, you won't reach space". That's a reasonable statement to make and of course buildings here would be understood to only take into account what exists or is currently possible, not theoretical stuff like space elevators. In a similar manner, if a fiction has 10 stages of transcendence I would read this as meaning "no matter how high in the 10 known stages" and hence not include stages that may or may not actually exist or could exist beyond that.
1. I agree with DT's interpretation.

2. While I agree with DT's take, I personally interpreted it a bit differently in the sense that the source of the dimensions should be independent and beyond all the dimensions shown in the verse. So, I'd personally take it as +1 transcendence over whatever the verse is shown to have.

3. Agree with DT, but it isn't necessarily limited. We could also argue for transcendence if enough context is provided which should lead to High 1-B. Else, arbitrarily high into 1-B.

4. Ehh, not too sure myself, I don't see it that different from 3 honestly. "No matter how high is the plane of existence" just replace plane of existence with dimension really. I feel it is same as 3.

5. "Beyond the concept of dimensions"

I don't think this has been addressed by anyone clearly yet.
Obviously, I will assume the verse makes it clear that the dimensions in question have qualitative superiority and that it trivializes the notions of dimensions in some way such that adding any number of dimensions is completely meaningless and is completely beyond any such hierarchy achievable by it.
Well, its 1-A in that case according to the original Tiering System revision discussions proposed by Ultima.
This is because we more or less defaulted to using Real Coordinate Spaces for the concept of dimensions cardinality(Aleph-1 dimensions/Low 1-A). So being beyond its concept or transcending it should be +1 transcendence or Aleph-2 which is 1-A. Even tho it may seem a bit arbitrary in choosing it, I think it is fine as a cut-off point over whatever the new proposals that are being discussed. Although, I might change my stance if something more justifiable is presented as a cut-off.

Also, if a verse references the existence of aleph or inaccessible cardinals etc, and trivializes it, then I'd say Ultima's take is fine. We can tier it as High 1-A or even higher tiers could be achievable given enough context without the need for Infinite Hierarchies if the verse makes it clear it is above notions of such sizes. Otherwise we Low-Ball and go for 1-A.

Anyways, I think the main premise of the OP and the thread has been addressed.

Maybe something should be changed in the Tiering System FAQ? In particular, the 8th, 10th, 12th, and 13th questions/answers should be looked at. But from a quick glance, most of them seem consistent with what DontTalk's suggesting.
@Agnaa I don't think anything new has been brought up That may require us to change the FAQ and like you said it already seems consistent with our interpretations. But if you still have any new suggestions you may bring it up.

Otherwise, I think this thread can be concluded and closed.
The only thing now left to discuss is if the cut-off point needs to be changed and if it does than to what it should be. And that is completely beyond the scope of this thread and a new thread should be opened regarding that.

Is the above fine, or needs some changing
