You've clarified on the "automatically convert" part, but otherwise the point still stands; if having the co-ordinary (1,1,1,1...) be filled in a countably-infinite-dimensional space requires that space to actually be uncountably-infinite-dimensional, then most High 1-Bs would be upgraded.
Then ig my approach would go to, is it really meaningfully larger if it's another indistinct member of that infinite hierarchy? If the gap between that item, and the ones before it, isn't any different than the gap between the 981st layer and the 982nd?
I thought that object just didn't have a...
You can't get meaningfully larger than aleph-one points without going to aleph-two points, yet 11-B already has aleph-one points, and aleph-two points is not reached until High 1-B+.
So why use the argument of "it has to be meaningfully larger, so it's High 1-B+" when the starting point is High...
That issue exists long beforehand; that's the point I was trying to make with the rest of my post.
And still, this does not justify treating dimensions and hierarchies of realms differently in this regard. You haven't given a reason which applies to one of those but not the other.
And I do...
Why would we treat realms and dimensions differently, when they're equalized to be the same at all other scales?
Why does it only jump beyond R^1 points once there's R^0 layers? 11-B through 1-B also involves R^1 points.
I don't think that's how it works. From the way it was described, if there was a dimension for every finite number, and a character existed on each of those dimensions, they would exist across infinitely many of those, and as such, wouldn't fit within the space of all finite sequences.
I can't...
I don't understand enough about the underlying mathematics to tell why such an equivalence makes sense.
A space with countably infinitely many dimensions, but where nothing can emanate to or simultaneously exist on all of them does not sound typical, and so does not sound like the basic...
Ah rats, Catz just brought another issue to my attention.
Within the References for Common Feats page, four sub-header names are repeated; "Getting Hit by a Car/Pickup Truck/Bus/Semi Truck". When linked to, the duplicate headers after the first are appended with a number, i.e. "Getting Hit by a...
I know, but hopefully having two primary staff members saying "Yeah, this should be a part of it but it's hard to word" for ~4 posts should be a bit less exploitable.
I'm concerned that this comes from confusing the cardinality if points in a space with the cardinality of dimensions in a space.
Because if it does truly operate as you say, that leads to the absurd outcome where any aleph-null-dimensional space, were it to contain a single being with the size...
I'm worried that such an approach would be arbitrary; that there'd be no canonical point to change the density to. But finding the first density small enough that the derivative won't be negative at that mass value might work.
My concern is that, for example, at a certain point such feats would...
I know, that's why I put "densities" in quotes the first time I invoked it.
I'm not actually talking about however the matter is spread across the volume below the Schwarzschild radius, I'm just considering the total mass of the black hole compared to the total volume covered by the...
Yeah that's what I mean. It's not like a region covered by a black hole has a fixed density, it could be as dense as a neutron star, water, air, or hydrogen at any arbitrarily low pressure. And so at some point, the hydrogen blob that's teleported in would be sufficient to create a black hole.

I went to make the "higher-dimensional structures that are uncountably infinitely superior" change, but I noticed a snag; I still think the ending part of those paragraphs (saying "In ordinary distribution, this corresponds to objects of N dimensions") is bad, since it makes it...
That sounds like a good place to start.
So with that, we have the radius a gas cloud will reach in a certain amount of time.
I'm thinking of something sort of like alternating those formulas, in lieu of a proper continuous solution including both. Taking a certain resolution (say, 0.01...
Okay, to make this as simple as I can.
Does the field of physics have any way at all to simulate what a cloud of gas would look like after 1 million years due to the effects of gravity?
If not, then I guess we just can't do it. But I am 99.9999% certain that we can.
We wouldn't be looking for the GPE, we'd be looking for the effect gravity contributes.
We'd essentially be iteratively checking solutions, scaling up and down the compression applied, while keeping the gravitational portion functioning as we know it should, until we end up with a 1 second...
How about a one second timeframe, with the force applied by the character being constant (but the gravity, accordingly, evolving exponentially)?
I'd think that one second would be way too quick for gravity to be the full story.
I believe, and believe that a section of the FAQ explains, that we do treat such structures as being above baseline.
Our only options, in cases where fiction does this, is either to assume that the infinite structure said to be stronger, is stronger than other baseline infinite structures in...
I intend it to be similar to now, but instead of having the calculations under collapsibles, directly link to those calcs on separate pages. I also intend to remove the headers for each individual calc on the main page, to really force people to link the sub-pages rather than the section on the...
I'm not actually too fussed if we don't revise other creation feats as well.
If we're going by the creation = destruction route, that's just impossible for black holes, so we need another way to estimate things. I think it's fine if that ends up being lower.
Revising other creation feats in a...
I'm kinda torn on that. It seems like a lotta work, and I'm not sure if invested members who know a good amount about our standards do actually neglect the Knowledgeable Members List.
But still, it's something that can be done gradually, and by any user, so I don't mind it too much either.
