Introduction
I’ve been doing some research on type 5 acausality looking through various threads and profiles of characters that have it. From what my understanding of it is, to be type 5 you must be outside of causality and demonstrate that others cannot interact with you normally, which makes conventional attacks against you meaningless. With that criteria established, I think the Chaos Force could qualify for having it.
Transcending Next Evolution
The Next Evolution is a higher plane of existence above physical reality. It serves as an afterlife for the deceased spirits of the Brotherhood of Guardians. Beings from the Next Evolution, such as Mathias view the concept of time as being irrelevant to them. In context as described in the next panel, it refers to how Mathias transcended his physical form and entered the higher plane, that being Next Evolution. This is also demonstrated by their ability to freely travel through time, as shown by Hawking following his death and ascension. This would make Next Evolution spirits acausal by nature due to being outside the linear flow of time, and the Chaos Force is transcendent over the Next Evolution.
Genesis Wave Alteration of History/Causality
During the events of Worlds Collide, Eggman and Wily aimed to use the Genesis Wave to rewrite the entire Archieverse. The Second Genesis Wave is able to rearrange events across past, present, and future on a multiversal scale. It can also bend, cheat, and rewrite the rules of reality. Note that the Chaos Force has been unaffected at this point. It’s not until the Super Genesis Wave/Super Sonic’s botched Chaos Control that the Chaos Force is affected and nuked from existence. The Chaos Force not being affected until that point goes to how it transcends physical reality and so its laws do not apply to it, including causality as altering past, present, and future had no effect on the Chaos Force.
Chaos Force Deities Interaction Near-Impossible
Now even with all the prior information in mind, all of that would only by type 4 acausality at best without this crucial factor that determines whether a character can qualify for type 5 acausality. That is showing they are unable to be interacted with normally. This however, can be demonstrated to be the case with Chaos Force deities. They are stated to be far beyond the comprehension of normal beings. Beings on the transcendental Next Evolution also cannot see them. In addition, the Chaos Force deity Aurora states that she can only be perceived how others can imagine her, as her true nature is incomprehensible to them, hence why Knuckles sees her as an echidna. Only special artifacts like the Sword of Acorns and super states, which are powered by Chaos Emeralds, direct physical manifestations of the Chaos Force are shown to be capable of interacting with it.
Conclusion
Chaos Force deities would have their acausality upgraded to type 5. Super forms and the Sword of Acorns would be capable of interacting with type 5 acausals. Additionally, the Chaos Energy page would be updated containing the explanation for type 5 acausality.
Side Note: Chaos Force deities should additionally have their ages listed as immeasurable. As their very state of existence transcends past, present, and future, the notion of age which is inherently reliant on time does not apply to them.
