I think you missed my point of what exactly I called literal. Honestly whatever it is made up of is irrelevant, it can be made up of sugar, salt, flesh or bones....etc etc. The composition is irrelevant here, since it has never been a factor in our tiering system nor is it used that way in fictionStill, I don't see enough material in this specific statement to consider that it's talking about Ray in a geometric view + showcasing a difference in dimensions, such upgrade is insane and the manga doesn't give anything close to enough proof to consider that. You first say it is literall and therefore can't be the 2nd interpretation, then, you say it isn't literall cuz it's not about actual Light and Darkness, it may not be, mind you, but why that makes this "ray" something related to the geometry ? The meanings obviously used light or heat as examples of ray, but it can be a ray of something else (like the "substances" u said), that doesn't make it 1D. So many questions and problems with this quote
Because calling something flat is even more questionable than "ray". Here's Merriam Websters' definition of Flat.However, lower-dimensional beings being stated to be "flat" in comparision to higher-dimensional aliens is not necessarily grounds for assuming the latter has infinitely more power (For reasons outlined in the answer above), and thus, such scenarios must also be analyzed case-by-case.
Calling something flat isn't either in vaccum, context matters. Which we have and its more impressive than being flat. Also see above reply made to Lightning.Saying something is a line with no context is not a good way to prove 1-C. Light tends to be, well, a ray, which is what I think they were going for. You're extrapolating something that isn't there.
Obviously. Its just one of the supportive arguements which is supposed work in tandem with other arguements to comply with tiering system.A universe within a universe isn't out of the ordinary. And the outer universe does not have to be higher dimensional to contain it either.
Well then its nice it isn't 3A. Its low2C, has always been ever since we have made crts about those in distant past and even discussed to death many times. This isn't up for debate. Its just a supporting point.This is a 3-A feat at best? We don't automatically assume something of universal size is Low 2-C, let alone 1-C.
I'm sure Ultima agreed on the past thread over it just being HDE, but not smurf hax, so in a battle it'd just mean someone would require interdimensional range to affect DMC souls, as he mentioned here
Uhhh no. No one said Range automatically means Power. And no 2C range doesn't allow you to reach something 9D or 1C( both are same sizes btw on tiering system as Sevil pointed out, just a difference in power).Not really, as Ultima pointed out, being higher dimensional doesn't mean the gap is infinite (aka, tier 1), and we go with the lower thing by default, so anyone with 2-C range would cover it, and so it wouldn't require tier 1 range to begin with. Anything further would require for souls to be actually tier 1 for our purposes in the first place, to which I still disagree FRA.
Only MrOvens has commented so far as mods are concerned. He hasn't shown any agreements yet. Rest of mods tagged have yet to say anything about proposal.Which members agree and which disagree here so far?
yes they do. souls were shown in the human world. mainly demons souls. heck, some demons are JUST souls. though how does this affect the proposals?This would imply that these souls, despite being higher-dimensional, can still exist in the normal universe, no?
Pretty much your last line is our argument, since the demon world and the human world are the only 2 dimensions in verse we fully know of and they exist "at the same level" despite having such a difference in existence and complexity between them, while Chaos is referred as the existence that predates both and is a higher dimension compared to the demon world.So, reading through the thread, I'm honestly pretty lost here. Towards the end of the post, you make it clear the interpretation being taken here is that the Demon World and the Human World are both contained inside of this primordial chaos, and you then further clarify that the latter two don't scale to it at all because of this, and that chaos is higher-dimensional compared to the Demon World, too. And yet, your reasoning for the primordial chaos embedding both of them as infinitesimal subsets of itself revolves entirely around statements referring to... the Demon World? Unless I'm mistaken the argument seems to be that the chaos would view the Demon World in the same way the Demon World views the Human world, but I haven't seen much direct evidence of that.
This is the only thing I don't really have much to say, we have statements about soul and devil arms (physical representation of souls) having infinite/unlimited power and being used to power gates between the human and demon world but nothing else I can recall in this moment.I'll also point out that, even if the primal chaos is indeed 1-C, you haven't really provided evidence souls would scale to that. Something qualifying for Tier 1 based on statements about higher dimemsions doesn't mean that everything else qualifies for it, too. This is only the case if the verse makes it clear that -all- higher-dimensional things have infinitely more power compared to lower-dimensional ones. If it doesn't, and you have to argue it qualifies using other types of evidence (Which is evidently the case here), then that opens up the possibility for things of the same dimensionality having different ratings, even if it's the same verse.
Yeah, they mainly exist as demons. Some needing to possess stuff to exist in the human world as they can't cross physically thanks to a seal/barrier/dimensional wall while they have physical bodies in the demon world. Then again, humans are supposed to have these higher dimensional souls too but they can't interact with them.In fact, thinking about it a bit more, I have a question related to that second point, too: The scan saying that souls are 9-D forms also says that they not only originate from a higher dimension but also return to that place after death. This would imply that these souls, despite being higher-dimensional, can still exist in the normal universe, no? This is probably a minor point (Comparatively, at least), but I feel it's worth noting regardless. I know shit about Devil May Cry, so, obviously open to being corrected.
Again, the darkness has ALWAYS been the demon world, it just got another name. Just to show it isn't like it became something different we have examples like how Mundus himself still calls it the darkness, or how it is called the magic world, the abyss, etc. All just names for the same thing while chaos is actually differentiated from it.ngl this thread would be less complicated if we just accepted the fact that the chaos is just the original universe before the split that took place.
remember, the endless darkness was not the demon world at the time. it only was called that after the split. the primordial chaos PoC is talking about is just that since it's the place that was basically the old demon world and it was described as a crucible of chaos. not to mention the demon world is the place where demons and human souls go after death so that'd be the most fitting place the statement is talking about for the stuff that ultima pointed up above and to answer the question,
This song and dance again.one more thing I'd like to address here is the demons' origin statement. it says the primordial chaos spawned them as in gave birth to them. and the demon world is the one currently forming them. not that the demon world is the one giving their physical forms or whatever. they can get those just via their names.
the main point I'm getting at here is that the primordial chaos isn't some realm beyond the demon world. in a way it is the demon world before it was split into 2
@Ultima_RealityUltima merely asked for clarifications, he's yet to say his proper thoughts on the matter, beyond finding tier 1 as questionable.
PoC is a mobile game a continuation of DMC 3 and there's a thread of it discussed being canon if you wanna ask if it's canon, the eightfold path i'll leave to the others since i'm not really that knowledgeable in dmcI read the OP and well the proofs are a bit disjointed
Can you explain what the eightfold path is, also what the peak of combat is?
PoC, like they said above, is a new entry in the Devil May Cry series, made by a chinese studies as a mobile game. It is canon, it's stated to be set between the events of DMC3 and DMC1 (a 9 year blank period so they are free to mess there).I read the OP and well the proofs are a bit disjointed

So it is unreleased from what I can read herePoC, like they said above, is a new entry in the Devil May Cry series, made by a chinese studies as a mobile game. It is canon, it's stated to be set between the events of DMC3 and DMC1 (a 9 year blank period so they are free to mess there).
Actually I was asking if the eightfold path is some sort of eight dimensional space or something but well that’s okayThe eightfold path has little to no explanation and it is not the reason for our arguments. But if you wonder it is a real life concept of Buddhism, something, something, it leads to nirvana (which considering how stupid PoC is we might see more tier 1 bs when the game fully drops).
A ray of light in infinite darkness actually sounds a bit flowery tbh and also doesn’t exactly mean much as a larger 3D space can contain a much much much smaller oneThe summary of the argument is: Human world (regular universe) is a form of existence that is dwarfed by the demon world, a ray of light in an infinite darkness (not flowery language if you wonder). Chaos, the dimension where the 9 dimensional souls go and are created, is a higher dimension beyond the demon world.
no. it has been released since June.So it is unreleased from what I can read here
A ray of light in infinite darkness actually sounds a bit flowery tbh and also doesn’t exactly mean much as a larger 3D space can contain a much much much smaller one
So I think you will need a bigger proof of the higher dimensions being R>F or something similar so I agree with Ultima and Yuri that there is little evidence other than a single statement that may mean a lot of thing
BB has R/F
3D spaces can also contain points and lines, either of which is less than 3D. HW is a line.A ray of light in infinite darkness actually sounds a bit flowery tbh and also doesn’t exactly mean much as a larger 3D space can contain a much much much smaller one
R-F isn't necessary, size and power is more than enough, as I have myself outlined using Tiering FAQ.So I think you will need a bigger proof of the higher dimensions being R>F or something similar so I agree with Ultima and Yuri that there is little evidence other than a single statement that may mean a lot of thing
These are the RAWs:Actually...
I think the ones doing the CRT are cherrypicking fantranslations or something, as for a good while they presented this (most notable difference is that it's called a "ray", not a "line", and then suddendly just bringed up an "edited" version respectively where it's called a "line".
Therefore, either they don't know what translated version to use (And so just bring the raw JP scans of that instead at this point), or this is editing to wank the verse, which is a ban-worthy offense per site rules.
just want to address this misconceptionI'm no expert, but don't you need like mathematical vectors for size in order to qualify for true higher dimensions? Like all the evidence presented here does not tell me Chaos has 9 vectors of dimension and is just telling me that it's unfathomably bigger than Earth which is like, ok? Earth can be the size of an atom in comparison, but that still does not make your existence more complex.
The ray of light thing is cool and all, but even if taken literally, that just means Earth is a single line in comparison to Chaos. If you are 6 dimensions higher than something, I sincerely doubt it would look just "flat".
Are higher-dimensional beings infinitely larger than lower-dimensional equivalents?
In a way, yes, though not how most would think when using this word. Basically, an arbitrary object of dimension n is essentially comprised by the total sum of uncountably infinite objects of one dimension less, which may be described as lower-dimensional "slices", each corresponding to one of the infinite points of a line. For instance, a square is made of infinitely many line segments (Lined up on the y-axis), a cube of infinitely many squares (Lined up on the z-axis), and so on.
Do note, however, that them not qualifying for Tier 2 and above doesn't mean they are "fake" higher-dimensional beings or anything of the sort. It is simply that being higher-dimensional does not inherently mean they have infinite power in the first place, as explained above.
Okay this piece of shit of a post is something I wont allow. We have been posting both scans several times and been using both terms several ******* times in all the threads this has been going on.Actually...

The scans in the profile are worse than what we are using here, that was my point using her as a comparison.BB has R/F
Since when? And what vectors? How does vector give size of dimensions? What new requirements and standards are you manufacturing out of thin air, Mister? And acting as if its a law that regularly needs to complied with?I'm no expert, but don't you need like mathematical vectors for size in order to qualify for true higher dimensions?
Earth? Where you getting that from?Like all the evidence presented here does not tell me Chaos has 9 vectors of dimension and is just telling me that it's unfathomably bigger than Earth which is like, ok? Earth can be the size of an atom in comparison, but that still does not make your existence more complex.
Well HW is technically line in comparision to DW, well Chaos also by extension since its HD compared to even DW.The ray of light thing is cool and all, but even if taken literally, that just means Earth is a single line in comparison to Chaos. If you are 6 dimensions higher than something, I sincerely doubt it would look just "flat".
You mean the Demon World?? We don't want to touch DW as of yet. So this is irrelevant.At the absolute best, Chaos is Low 1-C from the line thing, but that is a massive consideration to take because if all we have to go on is just one statement, I don't think we should take it as literal.
Doesn't matter that you think this upgrade is worthless, there's more to this than meets the eye. If Chaos becomes 1C, upgrade for DW becomes infinitely easier in future. And this thread is an attempt walk fine line of diplomacy between two different viewpoints in the DMC team. So this is important to me.This has been, without a doubt, the most convoluted way to present nothing and gain nothing outside of a caveat.
This boils my blood!!Actually...

Dimensions in Nasu have Reality fiction transdence between higher and lower. This was why she was upgraded to 1-C in the first place, not just because of the 8 dimension scanThe scans in the profile are worse than what we are using here, that was my point using her as a comparison.
