DontTalk does agrees that Type 3 is vague in its own while Type 1 and 2 is clear. Main purpose of this thread is to clear that vagueness, so issue is still at hand.What did DontTalk think that we should do here, in summary?

He basically believes we shouldn't do anything since the provided explanations are already good enough, which i don't personally agree with since the explanations do, and have cause confusion in this thread to people who aren't as knowledgeable about concepts, or metaphysics in general.Anyway, the point I'm making is: I think type 1 and 2 definitions are clear and type 3 is vague on purpose. So I'm not sure what there is to add.

I proposed the idea of, at the barest minimum, linking the metaphysics wikipedia article, similar to how we do with Idealism and Nominalism. So people can research more about these concepts like "scope", "reality", "universal", "ontology" etc. Just so they have a better grasp on what is explained on our Conceptual Manipulation page.
I think we need more staff opinion about this for the solutionOkay, and what is suggested as a solution then?
Type 3 concepts are those Concepts that aren't Type 1 or 2, such as personal concepts that are more specific to the object it governs, if more copies are to made they won't fall in the same concept or just specific to single object, that is by default assumption. (As per DT)Okay, and what is suggested as a solution then?

This vagueness is the crux of the matter. From the latest major CM fiasco, which you were privy to, this vagueness was exploited even by staff ultimately stating concepts that govern only 1 specific object, even if that object/individual is the reality it participates in, is automatically a personal concept and is thus type 3I am with DT's opinion, this vagueness is on purpose and has a reason for it.
Then both this point along with deceived's elaboration needs to be added to the explanationAs I said previously, scope and potency has zero relevance in this ability, it is more about functionality and use in verse.
As I said, the scope of said ability is irrelevant.This vagueness is the crux of the matter. Gtom the latest major CM fiasco, which you were privy to, this vagueness was exploited even by staff ultimately stating concepts that govern only 1 specific object, even if that object/individual is the reality it participates in, is automatically a personal concept and is thus type 3
That's what I mean.Well it more simple for say specific reality because it contradict with the statement above that say all of reality
If it's a concept that doesn't govern a set of things (not even a set that currently only contains 1 thing), but that only governs one specific thing, then we would rank it as type 3.This seems like a limbo and I don't understand what the OP wants to propose.... @DontTalkDT, if you can please clarify one thing for me... A personal concept can be Type 1 or 2 if its entire description fulfills the requirements of the aforementioned concepts?
E.g. we have a concept that is textbook type 1 but because it is a personal concept it is discarded as type 3 directly.
I feel like that isn't a good idea, as what we define as concepts as a specific thing. Linking to that wikipedia article would probably make things worse, as it would make it seem like we consider wikipedia's explanations applicable for our cases, which they in general are not. Wikipedia explores "concepts" (and related things) in a lot of very different and highly complex ways to cover every possible viewpoint and interpretation, which I think makes it a bad addition to the explanation.
I don't agree with this personally and i have contentions with it, but i'm about to eat supper, so i'll address this argument later.I feel like that isn't a good idea, as what we define as concepts as a specific thing.

If it's a concept that doesn't govern a set of things (not even a set that currently only contains 1 thing), but that only governs one specific thing, then we would rank it as type 3.
I think I did not explain myself clearly, let's try once more, I mean that e.g., a verse has a concept known as concept of humanity, concept of existence or concept of life, this is not a "universal" concept but rather a "personal" one because each living being possesses the same concept that governs its existence and even if this concept were textbook type 1 (having the elaboration of the story as such), it would still be type 3 because it is discarded as a "personal" concept.If it's a concept that doesn't govern a set of things (not even a set that currently only contains 1 thing), but that only governs one specific thing, then we would rank it as type 3.
Oh well, personal concept is our made up term that doesn't have any Definition, so it's upto us how to interpret it, neither type 3 has any proper Definition.A personal concept can't be Type 2/1
Okay. Never mind then.I feel like that isn't a good idea, as what we define as concepts as a specific thing.
