Well, it's been a while.

So, as some of you already know, 1-A's requirements have been tweaked and became notably stricter following the months-old Tiering System revisions.
Namely, it has been given more emphasis on how simply being stated to transcend the concepts of space-time and/or dimensions in a verse that does not have infinite higher dimensions is not enough to qualify for the tier any longer, and in such a case, there would need to be some good context showing that the character in question is also superior to all extensions of said concepts as well, normally by transcending the "basis" in which further levels of abstraction would be defined in the verse where they come from, for instance. Otherwise, they will be scaled to the number of dimensions their setting has, for instance:
Entities whose nature trivializes the very concepts of space and time in relation to a singular scope of existence, without necessarily standing beyond all further extensions thereof.
Regarding Type 1 BDE
From what I gather, Type 1 Beyond-Dimensional Existence is specifically directed at characters who are not superior to the concepts of space and time per se, but that simply lack or do not abide by them.
I am generally fine with the concept itself, but my issue mainly lies in how the description of it treats the ability as something that translates to power, which I personally disagree with: Lacking something Ôëá being superior to it.
And given how Attack Potency is primarily based on the size of a given area of space which a character is capable of affecting, being Aspatiotemporal in nature certainly wouldn't necessarily amount to having greater power, just a really weird nature that would probably make them difficult to properly affect, most likely. It is also worthy to note that this was the main basis for the downgrade of The Star Maker.
Furthermore, I recall some conversations with Sera around the same time this page was made, where she explained that Type 1 is supposed to represent "Mathematical 1-A's". This obviously doesn't fit with the current system, where everything from Low 1-C to 0 is still defined by mathematics, even if increasingly more abstract forms of it, and the fact that the description links to a Wikipedia page about scalar (dimensionless) quantities (i.e values given in 0-dimensional space) really hurts any credibility it may have.
Besides some obvious changes to its definition, I also propose that we make the current Type 1 for Beyond-Dimensional Existence into a Type 0, and replace it with the new type I proposed above. It is fairly elegant and gives off a sense of linear progression from merely lacking the concepts of space and time to being outright superior to them.

- If the multiverse in which a series takes place is described as 27-dimensional, and a character who trivializes it entirely is stated to be "beyond dimensions" without much elaboration, then they would be rated at 1-B
