Do you have a replacement translation?This translation comes from Cokesakto, they are notorious for being bad.
Well that's for you to find, not my problem, I'm just saying the evidence you're using is questionable for reasons provided above.Do you have a replacement translation?
You can't just say a translation is faulty, and then not provide an alternative.Well that's for you to find, not my problem, I'm just saying the evidence you're using is questionable for reasons provided above.
Took time searching for Raws to be used explicitly for this thread, not really my fault he didn't analyze his own piece of evidence. You don't really use evidence, then someone points out exactly how the evidence is not reliable, and you want someone else to get you evidence from a different source.. It's just blatantly shifting the burden.You can't just say a translation is faulty, and then not provide an alternative.
It doesn't really matter because that's not the only thing I brought up to point out the inconsistency behind what he's saying.everyone knows the Swirl of the root predates the collective unconscious because it creates the beings who establish the collective unconscious to begin with, it's called "The Absolute" on several different occasions; heck the records are said to be the source of everything in the materials, it's not just a mere statement from a character.
Sorry for writing without permission, but I wanted to share the RAW in case you need it.

I didn't even say that translation is bad.... I said his translations are bad in a general sense, If the evidence is presented to be used to justify why his translations are generally bad, then it's not burden shifting to tell him to get new ones.That's not burden shifting. In fact, you'd be doing the burden shifting by saying "this translation's bad, go find another one."
This thread is already getting lengthy for literally absolutely no reason because the preponderance is against him, something I already emphasized beforehand good Christ.Swirl of the root predates the collective unconscious because it creates the beings who establish the collective unconscious to begin with, it's called "The Absolute" on several different occasions; heck the records are said to be the source of everything in the materials, it's not just a mere statement from a character.
Objectively speaking, it is. You need to provide the alternative yourself instead of telling someone else "go find it." That's not their obligation, it's yoursI didn't even say that translation is bad....

It's the same scene from oblivion records, the translation just appears significantly different because.. It's coke...it was explaining how memories and everyone's consciousness is connected to the akashic records.This does not appear to be the same scene. Can you provide a link to the full book?

Well, when the new Tier 0 was made, it was founded under very strict criteria. That is, even one anti-feat would be enough to disqualify the entire thingLet's even assume Deagon's translation was correct. How does a singular outlier disregard the plethora of other statements shown across multiple other instances?
That's if the anti-feats are actually valid, mind. It is still perfectly possible for a statement to just be contradicted by other pieces of information, both due to in-universe factors and, especially, out-of-universe ones. Let's not pretend Tier 0s are somehow immune to retcons and similar things now, please.Well, when the new Tier 0 was made, it was founded under very strict criteria.

All good. Used that phrase to get the point across.I'm not pretending anything, I just missed that. My bad
I guess I'll clarify this, Human order is the collective unconscious, it stores extensive records of existence on the planet and records of heroes and counter guardians to defend humanity. It's already considered a wave of phenomenon that is lower than but resembles the akashic records.Rooted in the Nous of hermeticism, akasha is a metaphysical plane of existence, it is said to record all things, happenings and records all of knowledge. These records are the source of extensions of the material, as a result of the world being fashioned using the information in akasha.
When it is said that the akashic records are the source of all things, it is meant to signify the information within it being used as blueprint to create the material world. The material world is said to not guarantee permanence and that the only eternal thing is something formless, the only notion said to be worthy of being called eternal is the only true record, which never changes even to the perspective of the observer who can assign different meanings to objects of reality.
The origin is implied to be the core of your soul, as its stated that the origin is the true essence of the ultimate reality deep within the souls of all things. It is also called a record, the records are then stated to be not affected by anything even your own thoughts, they're said to easy eternally even if the world one day disappears, they will remain and forever remain to be unchangeable as seen again here.
There raw Rave sent is the same one used and a better translation has already been sent.Alright, can someone please translate the raw so we can move on?
Alright, so the issue is resolved then. Anyone else with another counterpoint to the crt?There raw Rave sent is the same one used and a better translation has already been sent.
Yeah, given this, it seems the translation given by Deagon is likely inaccurate, and would just be contradictory to other pieces of information even if it wasn't. Seems this point is hashed out indeed, unless someone insists in getting those raws translated.I guess I'll clarify this, Human order is the collective unconscious, it stores extensive records of existence on the planet and records of heroes and counter guardians to defend humanity. It's already considered a wave of phenomenon that is lower than but resembles the akashic records.
Coupled with the fact that the akashic records are already considered unchangeable and independent of the observer's perception but dominate the observer itself, they continue to exist even when the material world will one day disappear as it's not eternal.
The collective unconscious exists as long as human order and the planet exists, the records of Akasha exist even when the material world falls apart, there's a clear symmetry breaker between the two; hope this clears out the doubt because the records of the collective unconscious aren't the same ones in Akasha.

I'll have more to say on this throughout the week.

Really depends on how the discussion unfolds. Can't exactly predict how long it'll go for, and as per the rules, Deagon technically has 2 weeks to respond even if the majority agrees with the thread.@Ultima how long do you think each crts should be opened for? There are multiple other crts waiting to be revised so I'm guessing each crts shouldn't be allowed to take too long especially if the reasons for that are easily solvable.
Well there is a pretty blatant instance of either the opposition just not having any clue on what they're talking about, despite claiming to have expertise in the specific title the statement comes from, or purposefully omitting information for agenda posting(the holy grail stuff was pretty out of context asw). Halting the discussion to go look for more anti-feats because you've ran out is hilarious behavior, but ig the forum's 2 week graze period allows this type of stuff to happenReally depends on how the discussion unfolds.

I'd be frankly lying if I said I wasn't skeptical of the opposition's ability to form a case, but who knows. Let him have his word. The thread is only a day old. The other threads will take care of themselves.
Nothing is lost, either way. If the new material ends up being that puerile, then it can be easily rebutted. If it brings in valid points, then it brings in valid points.Well there is a pretty blatant instance of either the opposition just not having any clue on what they're talking about, despite claiming to have expertise in the specific title the statement comes from, or purposefully omitting information for agenda posting(the holy grail stuff was pretty out of context asw).

I apologize for the long wait, I work for most of the day.I honestly don't know where you got your translations from, but from what I have here, it doesn't say "most."
「願いを言って、黒桐くん。わたしは人の望むものなら大抵のことを叶えてあげられるわ。式はあなたが好きみたいだから、わたしの権利はあなたのものだもの。
Obviously, the translation is shit. However, with the raw directly available, you can see that the "mostly" is there.Say what you wish, Kurokiri. I can grant almost anything a person desires. Since the ceremony seems to like you, my rights are yours.
It isn't the fact that she's comparing her to the Holy Grail that it is problematic, in fact it seems logical. It's more about the "human standards" part. Also, the fact that she's stated to be a "Hole to the Root" and not "The Root Itself". For someone as knowledgeable as Arcueid, you can agree that it seems conflicting with Shiki's own description to some degree. At least that's my view on it, but I'm open to your explanation.I don't really see why Arcueid comparing Shiki to the holy grail necessarily disqualifies her as being the root. Both the Root and Grail are believed to share the same characteristic of "granting wishes" albeit the true purpose of the root is far more than just that. I can claim the God I worship and some random "god" in a fictional universe share the same characterisitc of being "omnipotent" but does that mean they are the same?
Also, it's clear the grail has limited wish granting ability compared to the Root or compared to what Void Shiki literally claimed she's capable of. The grail is not capable of erasing the entire Nasuverse, is it? Meanwhile, here is what Void Shiki said
So you agree that she's a Hole to the Root while being The Root Itself?I don't see how any of the statements contradict anything. Void Shiki is indeed all that is stated.
I'll skip this one to not needlessly make the answer longer, it's not that important anyway.There's nothing wrong with this. I'm assuming we all agree with the Root being tier 0 and the only isssues here are wether Shiki is the root or not. So if Ultima is basing his decisions on the Root already being tier 0, then that's fine because anything that goes against it would either be considered an outlier or something extremely minor
It isn't the fact that "she's similar to the Holy Grail" that is a problem, she could be compared to a tree it wouldn't be important, it's more the fact that we're using "human standards" and that she's stated by Arcueid to be a hole to the root.Shiki shares a few qualities as the holy grail. that doesn't make her just someone "similar to the holy grail." She's said it herself. She is the root. Or are we gonna claim the Root is the holy grail too?
Honestly, it doesn't matter if she said "mostly" or "all." Like Ultima said earlier, some wishes are probably not supposed to be granted due to its nature and if Shiki is able to do much crazier things like outright erasing everything and every phenomena in the verse, then granting any wish is in the realms of feasibility to a monads nature shouldnt be a big deal. I simply see this as her claiming she can grant any wish other than some obscure wishes like her killing herself or erasing the verse which she actually stated she could easily do, but simply wouldn't due to her nature.I apologize for the long wait, I work for most of the day.
It seems to be similar to what the raw is :

Honestly, this whole "Hole to the Root" is taken out of proportion. I simply see this the same way the holy trinity works. I dont want to act like a bible nerd but you know this bible quote by JesusIt isn't the fact that she's comparing her to the Holy Grail that it is problematic, in fact it seems logical. It's more about the "human standards" part. Also, the fact that she's stated to be a "Hole to the Root" and not "The Root Itself". For someone as knowledgeable as Arcueid, you can agree that it seems conflicting with Shiki's own description to some degree. At least that's my view on it, but I'm open to your explanation.
Indicating Jesus is the way to God'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' "- John 14:6
Indicating Jesus is asserting His divine nature and unity with God the Father. By seeing and knowing Jesus, people are, in essence, seeing and knowing God the Father because Jesus embodies God's presence on Earth.Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?- John 14:9
I simply see this "Hole to the Root" for Shiki as her being the root itself in a physical form. One of the same. It's more philosophical rather than physical because there can't be an actual passage to something that already exists everywhere at all times."I and the Father are one."- John 10:30
Already addressed this.So you agree that she's a Hole to the Root while being The Root Itself?
Tell me, is this human standards;It isn't the fact that "she's similar to the Holy Grail" that is a problem, she could be compared to a tree it wouldn't be important, it's more the fact that we're using "human standards" and that she's stated by Arcueid to be a hole to the root.
And by now, you should know that whatever Void Shiki says about herself/Root holds a thousand more validity than whatever Arcueid says. And it's not like Arc said anything that counters Shiki's existence. Human standards could mean anything really. Maybe she could perform a miracle that's considered a wish by human standards. All we do know is she's said she's capable of doing stuff that are clearly beyond human standards.
Lol no. There are several differences between both of themI have an additional question if that's fine by you, but what about Manaka? She obviously has the same connection to the root as Shiki (the difference being Manaka has shit quantities of Mana Circuits) so would you put her at 0 too?
I mean, I suppose that make sense, Shiki would know "itself" better than Arcueid, but Arcueid isn't exactly a "random and unimportant character", that was my line of reasoning.And by now, you should know that whatever Void Shiki says about herself/Root holds a thousand more validity than whatever Arcueid says.

All we do know is she's said she's capable of doing stuff that are clearly beyond human standards.
Actually, this is even funny to talk about because there are other characters who are clearly below Void Shiki who can perform actions beyond human standards/comprehension (e.g Outer Gods like Sut-typhon). Lol.
I'm confused. She's said to have been born omnipotent, and also to "technically" being able to grant any wish if she didn't have her magical circuits. Beside her "Origin" not being the same as Shiki, why would it be "that much different" ? If you can do "everything" Shiki can do, beside being The Root itself, it feels like logical to say Manaka would have the same "arsenal" as Shiki (omitting her physical constraints).Manaka shares a connection to the root as much as Satsuki Kurogiri's "Unified Language" shares a connection to the root. In order words, unlike Void Shiki whose existence stems directly from the Root, and is a whole different being/individual than Shiki Ryougi who also has a connection to the root in the form of Mystic eyes of Death pereception, Manaka is just like any other individual styated to have some connection to the root. There is a reason Void Shiki says all these things she saysand acts completely different from others who merely share a connection to the root. Dont forget Void Shiki has no personality, no will, no emotion, nothing. All these other characters have that. It's almost as if Kinoko Nasu intentionally potrayed her as an actual monad who origin stems from emptiness, hmm
I quite frankly see no issues with her saying "almost anything", she can't do things that are metaphysically inconsistent with her own nature, like take out a knife and stab the Swirl of the root. The holy grail on the other hand can't even perform a wish like "saving humanity".Obviously, the translation is shit. However, with the raw directly available, you can see that the "mostly" is there.
Which holy grail to be specific? The holy grail is a loose term for any artifact that can grant wishes. The mooncells core is a holy grail but doesn't have 3rd magic so it's not the same one as understood in normative magecraft, the holy grail that received the blood of Jesus from the age of myth is a holy grail itself with power comparable the one from a normative magecraft perspective. There are three. Which one is it?It isn't the fact that she's comparing her to the Holy Grail that it is problematic, in fact it seems logical.
It says all-purpose wish granting machine from what I'm seeing too rather than "omnipotent-wish granterIt is born from " " and traces back to " ".
It is divided into two principles, rotates with the Four Symbols, binds the Eight Trigrams,
and lays out the principles of the world.
The two principles refer to the yin and yang shown in the Tai Chi diagram.
Her name was taken from the formula of mathematical expressions, and the formula of Shikigami.
In other words, it is proof of an all-purpose wish-granting machine.
To those who possess this skill,
normal parameters become meaningless.

if we suppose this is true, then she is infact not similar to the holy grail because it is not a hole to the root.So you agree that she's a Hole to the Root while being The Root Itself?
It's still unclear as to what she meant by that, but it won't matter much, Arcueid was talking to Shiki Ryougi not Void Shiki, they don't have the same connection to the root because Ryougi is a mediate emanation from the intermediate emanation that being Void Shiki.she's stated by Arcueid to be a hole to the root.
Everything is connected to the Swirl of the root, the degree of the connection matters, which was the point of explaining how phenomena flowing from the Swirl of the root means the immediate emanations will always take precedence over mediate emanations, Manaka is not really anywhere close to being an equivalent to Ryougi's situation when it comes to her connection, but you're welcome to explain why you think she is outside of using a statement that applies to all things, Ryougi has the origin of Emptiness and this directly connects her to the Swirl of the root.I have an additional question if that's fine by you, but what about Manaka? She obviously has the same connection to the root as Shiki (the difference being Manaka has shit quantities of Mana Circuits) so would you put her at 0 too?
Heck the omniscient character states she is it, oh did I mention she's called Omniscient atleast twice."...the vortex of origin. A place where all causes are swirling, where everything is prepared, and therefore there is nothing. That is my true identity.
Isn't she able to know "everything" thanks to her connection? I feel like it's something a bit more fundamental than the regular "everything and everyone comes from The Root."Everything is connected to the Swirl of the root, the degree of the connection matters, which was the point of explaining how phenomena flowing from the Swirl of the root means the immediate emanations will always take precedence over mediate emanations, Manaka is not really anywhere close to being an equivalent to Ryougi's situation when it comes to her connection, but you're welcome to explain why you think she is outside of using a statement that applies to all things, Ryougi has the origin of Emptiness and this directly connects her to the Swirl of the root.
Ah omnipotence in type moon, so powerful that beings with higher dimensional senses are regarded as that, the mooncell is regarded as that, Solomon is regarded as that, even good old gilgamesh is omnipotent... ButI'm confused. She's said to have been born omnipotent, and also to "technically" being able to grant any wish if she didn't have her magical circuits
This is what grants Ryougi's omnipotence more credence than anyone else... If she doesn't have that origin she's not omnipotent to begin with because her essence isn't the ultimate reality which is the only thing truly omnipotent to begin with...Beside her "Origin" not being the same as Shiki, why would it be "that much different" ?
Then she can't do everything shiki can do... This is really counter intuitive.If you can do "everything" Shiki can do, beside being The Root itself
I wasn't denying her having a fundamental connection beyond simply just being connected because you come from it, I'm saying the word "connect" is still something shared by everyone. Whilst Ryougi distinguishes herself from just merely being connected to being a part of it and being it.Isn't she able to know "everything" thanks to her connection? I feel like it's something a bit more fundamental than the regular "everything and everyone comes from The Root."
Where would you put Manaka then? High 1-A+ ? Below?This is what grants Ryougi's omnipotence more credence than anyone else... If she doesn't have that origin she's not omnipotent to begin with because her essence isn't the ultimate reality which is the only thing truly omnipotent to begin with...
I mean, Omnipotence is a grand word for very little things most of the time, let's be honest. It just seems more "valid" when someone has connection to the ultimate being/reality to the verse.Ah omnipotence in type moon, so powerful that beings with higher dimensional senses are regarded as that, the mooncell is regarded as that, Solomon is regarded as that, even good old gilgamesh is omnipotent... But
Fair, I suppose.Then she can't do everything shiki can do... This is really counter intuitive.
Fair, though I still feel the way Arcueid describe Shiki a bit iffy, but if you say so, I'll trust you, it's not like I can topple you in terms of knowledge.I wasn't denying her having a fundamental connection beyond simply just being connected because you come from it, I'm saying the word "connect" is still something shared by everyone. Whilst Ryougi distinguishes herself from just merely being connected to being a part of it and being it.
Maybe but idk, whatever omnipotence it is, it just doesn't have practical applications it would be useless to put her at High 1-A+ if she can't even exercise that power, the only possible way to reason against it is her saying she restricts herself but I'm not sure.Where would you put Manaka then? High 1-A+ ? Below?
I don't disagree again, she does have a more fundamental connection.I mean, Omnipotence is a grand word for very little things most of the time, let's be honest. It just seems more "valid" when someone has connection to the ultimate being/reality to the verse.
