Crisis Cosmology Revision(Final Thread)

[VeryGoofyToddler2]

This is the last thread I promise. So, hopefully, the admins forgive me for making so many threads, but I had to spread the information since DC is split. Thus, I have a good reason for making these threads and this is an upgrade thread for the Crisis Cosmology.

Light of Creation Upgrade:​

The Light of Creation also known as: Overvoid, Source, and Creation will be upgraded to High 1-A.

As recently the Flash series has confirmed the Source is the Light itself. Not to mention the plane of existence where the Light/Source resides is a place that is not a place meaning it’s in some place that’s the Multiverse while simultaneously sustaining it from wherever non-place is.

Barry...it’s afraid. The….Light. The Source. It's scared.

Now, why does this matter? Well, it was explained throughout the comics that all levels of reality work on emanation. The source of it all birthing Time that runs throughout the Multiverse in which “Time” is everything which means the extent of this “Time” reaches every Multiverse which are susceptible to the Deep Change. (The Flash Vol.6 #11)

High 1-A:​

• The Source is the “above-all” and the dreamer of everything. (The Flash Vol.6 #11)
• The Source is the “all-thing” at the center of everything is the fountainhead of time. (The Flash Vol.6 #12)
• The Source is beyond all sight and natural knowing. (The Flash Vol.6 #12)
• Time itself a byproduct of the Source dreaming affects all things and exists outside causality. (The Flash Vol.6 #12)
• The Source is the mathematical principle that underlines all things. (The Flash Vol.6 #13)
  • (Time and Math are not literal temporal and quantitative things as explained that the unknowable of the Source is undetectable by mundane things)
• The Source is where all things are possible, where mundane and miraculous harmonize together. Where all time collides and where unimaginable now exists. (The Flash Vol.6 #13)
• The Source of Time itself and emanated Creation. Described as a both man and a monad though the former is obviously metaphorical. Due to being outside time and existence is atemporal. (The Flash Vol.6 #12)
• The Source being infinity itself in a form of a dog was considered the source of all unprecendental power that were all innumerable worlds hinge on. (The Flash Vol.6 #15)

The Source exist outside of time(acasual and atemporal), where all reality(the Multiverse) is just a dream from it, and exists in an unimaginable now by itself(beyond both the Multiversal and Omniversal hierarchy).

R>F:​

It was shown several times that Wally West could breach the walls of reality and go outside the pages of comics: here.

In the Cosmology blog and in several threads. It has been accepted the Garden of Shadows has R>F over Creation. So the Source see it as unreality in the same vein that the Speedforce sees all things below it as fictional.

High 1-A is defined exactly as that:

Characters or objects who transcend 1-A characters in the same vein that 1-A characters transcend the rest of the system. That is to say: If there is a hierarchy of 1-A layers, each of which operates within the same framework, with the same "algorithm" dictating the difference between them, a High 1-A character would transcend the framework entirely, and instead operate on a different, higher hierarchy, governed by another, likewise higher algorithm. In other words, whereas 1-A is a qualitative superiority, High 1-Arepresents a "meta"-qualitative superiority.

Similarly to 1-A, this tier can be generalized to higher levels of existence. Just as 1-A encompasses qualitative hierarchies, so too can there be meta-qualitative hierarchies. In addition, there can also be "meta"-meta-qualitative superiorities, and so forth, endlessly.

The apex of this tier, represented also by a "+" modifier in their Attack Potency section (High Outerverse level+), corresponds to characters whose power encompasses meta-qualities, meta-meta-qualities, and any and all conceivable extensions of this process, being on a which in which their power influences the space of all logically possible worlds ("Logical space," where the laws governing it are the three laws of thought), being characters who either have the ability to actualize arbitrarily large worlds, or embody the framework of such worlds itself.

That said, characters who embody the framework of all possible worlds properly speaking may be rightly considered more powerful than those that can simply create arbitrarily big possible worlds while nevertheless existing in one.

The Great Darkness Upgrade:​

The Great Darkness is the infinite nothingness that preceded the Light of Creation as an invisible twinkle. Nothingness is uncreated, can not be predated, and is the source of the Source of All Things.

So its the space from which all things can come and embodies what the Creator could contain. The Darkness is eternal, infinite, and outside all things would make it High 1-A+(type 2)

Miscellaneous(Interviews about the Overvoid and the Hands):​

The Overvoid exists in the same plane as the Source(which already has been accepted in the blog)

The Flash series said that all of Creation is just a slumber of the Source and it awaken to redo all the chaos in Creation with the help of the Flash family. Overvoid is said to be pure consciousness and the mind of the “Monitor.”

“It's kind of like in Buddhism where there's this pure consciousness that underlines everything, and you call it god, you call it the void. It contains everything - all good, all evil, all contradiction, all possibility.”

Again, like the Source being where all things are possible as said earlier.

In the interview with Scott Snyder. It was notioned a hierarchy of beings goes up until the Source. Obviously, this is supported as both Perpetua and the Cosmic Raptor have superiors. (Justice League Vol.4 #22)

Low 1-A/1-A Higher Realms:​

As stated several times that planes beyond corporeal reality are said to exist outside time and space such as the Green.(Justice League Dark Vol.2 #25)

The Cosmology blog already highlights several examples of these realms not being “places” but ideas that are not tied to time, this is considering there are infinite planes. (The Hellblazer Vol.1 #3) In several of these planes they not only support the worlds below them but also exist and cut in between them. Now given what we said of emanation it is possible for them to have R>F difference with the prime example being the Garden but there's also many forces and places in the same ontological existence as the Speed Force. Stated that reality again has an endless flow of emanation. (The Flash Vol.6 #11)

Conclusion:​

• Everything in Creation is an emanation. The higher realms is considered higher than the mundane reality.
• The Hands and the Arc Angles, particularly, the latter is the first emanation of the Deep Change, where they created 1-A realm such as the Garden of Shadows. The former said to exists in as unseen beings working up a hierarchy beyond the Multiversal one.
• The Source sees all that above as just a dream in the same vein the Garden sees the Multiverse as fictional as well as the Arc Angles see it as fictional. Especially with the amount of times, Wally goes R>F. Baseline High 1-A for the Source.
• The Great Darkness an eternal nothing preceding the Light which views the Multiverse as a dream, where the Light itself is nothing but an invisible twinkle in its endless canvas. More importantly represented as the space from which the Creator could make all things possible. So High 1-A+(type 2).
• Possible 1-A to the higher realms because why not?

Simon Spurrier carrying the Cosmology like DeMatteis.

 

[Apotheosis69]

Yep looks good

 

[HenshinIntervention]

As usual, I agree.
Will Wally get an upgrade?

 

[Elizio33]

Looks good. So to summarize, The Source and The Great Darkness would be High 1-A and the Greater Omniverse The Hands, Perpetua and the Arc Angles would be 1-A?

What about the Sixth Dimension and the Monitor Brothers ? They should also be ranked similarly.

 

[VeryGoofyToddler2]

1-A via amp probably.

 

[VeryGoofyToddler2]

Yeah, Perpetua can just straight up be 1-A. Arc Angles can have a profile, if we accept 1-A+ Multiverse then they would be 1-A+. If we take the statement that there's a hierarchy of beings in the Greater Omniverse then it goes for the Hands as well to being 1-A+.

What about the Sixth Dimension and the Monitor Brothers ? They should also be ranked similarly.

Probably, they're superior or relative to the Garden.

 

[Elizio33]

The only thing I'm a little doubtful about is that the Greater Omniverse is part of The Source's dream. Although it has no name at that time, the Greater Omniverse always existed in older stories as the realm of The Source, beyond the Source Wall. The Death Metal story even mentioned The Source as existing at the center of the Greater Omniverse.

The story implies that there is indeed a hierarchy that eventually reaches The Source so why not?

I've always read that the Greater Omniverse is just a creation of the Source. If the Hands created the Multiverse in the space that populates it to become the Greater Omniverse then the Source making that space for those Multiverses to be filled is reasonable to me.

The Hands arbitrate the Multiverse and Source arbitrates the Greater Omniverse is what I find to be the case. You can absolutely exist in what you create like the Voice is with Heaven, while in the Flash story they left “reality” as a whole in a place that's not a place. A fitting description that the Void being inherently empty is where the Source as just unbridled energy exists.

For a time there weren't any Multiverses so the Greater Omniverse in general being a term to denote the space where the Multiverses exist wouldn't have existed and would rather be just the Void before being filled as such description matches the Source.

The story implies that there is indeed a hierarchy that eventually reaches The Source so why not?

Right then it fits the bill and criteria for 1-A+ following that everything is an endless stream of emanation.

 

[FroYoSans]

1-A via amp probably.

I agree on him being 1-A but I do have some questions:

A. Are you saying the "amp" in question is when he exits the story?

B. It should be a permanent (until they retcon it because let's be fr, I love DC but they'll do it eventually), amp correct? Like something he always has access to?

 

[VeryGoofyToddler2]

If the Void and Greater Omniverse are one and the same then we can adjust it to dreaming the Multiverses only then.

 

[Weaver261]

Isn't the greater omniverse just the collection of infinite multiverses? Multiverse is already on the overvoid if we count sixth dimension. The whole thing about Overvoid viewing multiverse as infinitesimal is about Local Multiverse and Bleed. I doubt Greater Omniverse qualitatively transcends Multiverse. But I agree with Greater Omniverse being the creation and emanation of the source since Greater Omniverse can be broken down to space and time.
I suggest sixth dimensional characters to have the same tier as overvoid. Or downgrade the overvoid since it's on the same plane of existence and it can be tear or rent without permission

During Final Crisis, it meant the whole of the Multiverse, not just the Orrery and the Bleed.

The Infinite Frontier or the Omniverse is not the same thing as the Greater Omniverse. Though, it's arguable if the Source emanated the Greater Omniverse, but I'm willing to hear both sides.

 

[Elizio33]

If the Void and Greater Omniverse are one and the same then we can adjust it to dreaming the Multiverses only then.

It's possible that the Greater Omniverse is an emanation of The Source but i think it would be safer to consider the Greater Omniverse as the realm of The Source. It wouldn't change much to be honest, given that there is an infinite hierarchy of emanation that eventually reaches the Source.

I'll adjust the OP then.

This is the Divine Continuum which is not the same as the Greater Omniverse which exists beyond the Source Wall.

B. It should be a permanent (until they retcon it because let's be fr, I love DC but they'll do it eventually), amp correct? Like something he always has access to?

Given his control over the Speedforce and a possible threat to the Source, it should remain permanent until any new retcon.

 

[Weaver261]

Do you have definite scans proving these? According to my understanding, Overvoid contained the flaw with divine metal. That divine metal jar is the same one we saw in NIL at final crisis showing orrery and bleed from which the monitors sucking dry. We can also see CAS extracting bleed from the jar to save Lois at the end.

It was described in the Guidebook as everything that is not the Overvoid.

Which guidebook? Multiversity? or just other guidebooks like the recent ones? Just asking cuz these guidebooks tend to contradict from what's portrayed in the comics sometimes.

Multiversity. The Flaw is treated as the Multiverse given that all stories exist within it.

 

[Weaver261]

Multiversity. The Flaw is treated as the Multiverse given that all stories exist within it.

It did stated, "Flaw" is everything that "Perfection" is not. But with the amount of scans showing flaw is just the local multiverse, with that alone it's not really convincing i'd say. you can also see in JLI #4, When the flaw cracked open, it bursted into a multiverse with infinite earths (universes).

 

[Elizio33]

Multiversity. The Flaw is treated as the Multiverse given that all stories exist within it.

The Flaw is the story (or push and pull of Light and Darkness) in the Multiverse. Why this Multiverse was considered so special, even to the Chronicler who has ventured into billions of dead Multiverses and seen nothing like it before? He even described this Multiverse as a cosmic fairy tale and was shocked by its stories of heroes and villains. It was basically the first Multiverse whose stories is so complex.

I don't think it contradicts anything, really. When the Multiverse was created a lot of things were still forming such as the Sphere of the Gods being powered by the mortal realms. The Monitor Sphere hadn't existed until after Crisis on Infinite Earth. The Multiverse just grew after a while.

I do think it contradicted a lot though. Flaw is not just a simple crack anymore. The push and pull between light and dark cause the flaw to crack open effectively creating a multiverse with both elements inside it. Overvoid contained the flaw inside The Divine Metal Jar which is the same one we saw in final crisis. NIL isn't even the peak of Multiverse yet. If even NIL monitors can observe the flaw the same way overvoid does, it's hard to believe, so called "Flaw" contains more than orrery and bleed. If you have more evidences on flaw being the whole multiverse upto source wall, I'd like to see since these arguments sound so vague.

There are a few way of explaining it as I mentioned earlier about the growth of the Multiverse. Also, in several of these instances the “containing of the Flaw” with a concept predates most things within the Multiverse anyways. As we see in several scans that showed the Orrery with nothing but the Overvoid existing outside of it. Then later information coming from Multiversity expanded upon it to say it was the “everything” to the Overvoid “nothing.” They even called the Orrery “All Creation” in several instances.

Also, the containing only the Orrery was never even mentioned. It was just an interview on the concept of how the Flaw was contained without spreading. We saw when the Probe entered it, the first experience of “story” was there which only the Overvoid existed outside of said story which was used in several instances as creation, multiverse, and everything.

That's what I think too. It started out as a small flaw with orrery and bleed inside it. But since the flaw (orrery and bleed) is contained inside the divine metal jar, Sphere of the gods and others higher realms must be beyond that. One example is NIL monitors observing the multiverse. Containing the orrery doesn't even need to be mentioned since divine metal jar's depiction is obviously showing many earths(universes).
My original argument was about how Sixth Dimensional characters being able to access overvoid and traverse it. Overvoid can be rent without permission by the hands just as Perpetua did. Mar Novu traveled to other multiverses. With that, giving Sixth Dimensional characters just 1-A doesn't seem quite right. That's why I suggested we either downgrade Overvoid or upgrade 6D characters. We can keep Source and The Light as H1-A

I've talked to Ultima about “renting from the Overvoid” and we both came to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter. Simply, they exist within the same plane of existence, we both agreed during Death Metal it wasn't anything special.

Obviously, it changed to it being a lot more conceptual than how it was portrayed during Death Metal.

So is it possible for 1-A characters to take out pieces of H1-A framework easily? I don't know how that will work though. If you consider, 6D characters are on the same plane of existence as Overvoid, doesn't that prove my point? Even now, overvoid doesn't change that much aside from being equalized to the light and the source. I personally consider Overvoid as a lesser manifestation of the light. Sorry, if i was reading this wrong.

Obviously, a 1-A character cannot take a piece of High 1-A character unless the High 1-A gave them the power to do so. Even if you don't agree that the Overvoid was treated differently in Death Metal as opposed to now, it's quite obvious that the Light and Overvoid are one and the same as stated in the blog. You would have to make a CRT to change that.

 

[Elizio33]

Forgot about that part where Pepetua tore pieces from the Overvoid and shaped them into her children. That would make The Hands High 1-A too if this thread if accepted. Unless, The Source allowed her to tore pieces from its being.
