Like the thread title said, this is about upgrading the verse to 1-A.
Cyber Sleuth revealed a lot of information and not all of it has been taken into account yet.
The original Japanese version of the game makes the cosmology a lot larger, with Suedou explicitly calling the Eaters' processing power as "hyper dimensional", not merely "higher dimensional" like the English translation said. In fact, he explicitly differentiates between the two.
"Choujigen" (超次元) is explicitly used by Suedou (the same word used to "Hyperdimension Neptunia's" Japanese title, "Choujigen Game Neptune").
Taking this word into account, that means we need to look back at Suedou's explanations about how the Eaters' dimension works.
In the tail-end of this clip, Suedou talks about how the Eaters have no concept of time and how they have an unlimited capacity for information. He also goes on about how the Eaters' capacity for information/their network is beyond everyone's ability to comprehend.
Why does this matter?
Information in the Digital World is the same as matter in the Human World. And we already know that the Digital World is a higher dimension compared to the Human World. And, in turn, Yggdrasil's home dimension, the Kernel, is above even the Digital World as it sits above Infinity Mountain.
More context. In here, Suedou doubles down on the Eaters' unlimited capacity for information, and how they can send that information to their home dimension without much problem. Also worth noting that the Eaters have completely taken over Yggdrasil at this point; the Host Computer of the Digital World can't do much against the Eaters and is left vastly weakened as the Mother Eater takes over Yggdrasil's functions.
Suedou also goes on about how there seems to be a "Great Will" from beyond the Digital World, similar to Shin Megami Tensei. What the "Great Will" is is that it's a vast system of higher worlds.
Yes, I know this is in English and the localization team for Cyber Sleuth didn't do the best job at properly translating the game, but this is just to provide some context about what Suedou means about the "Great Will" (called the "Great Intent" in the translation for some reason).

Now, moving on to another game. In Digimon World Reigitize Decode, you go through Infinity Mountain and while in-game you go through 100 floors, it's heavily implied that Infinity Mountain stretches up to far beyond even that.
The higher you go up through Infinity Mountain, the higher the dimensionality of the "fruit" you find. For example, in the lower floors, you get 3-D Fruit. Then 6-D Fruit. In the highest floors available in the game, you get the 24-D Fruit. Each floor is a higher infinity than the previous one. And if you just go into Infinity Mountain without a guide, you just end up wandering it forever (similar to the Schwarzwelt in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey in that regard). Without a guide, those wandering Infinity Mountain may find themselves looping back endlessly without any hope of an exit.
Also, on the 90th Floor of Infinity Mountain, while Chaosdramon does say that you are reaching the end, when you reach the 100th Floor and fight Yggdrasil, you fight an avatar of Yggdrasil (stronger than the one you fought on the 50th Floor). The problem with this is if the 100th Floor truly is the Kernel, then you would have fought the actual Yggdrasil, not Yggdrasil 7D6. Whether this means this isn't the Kernel or it is and Yggdrasil didn't find you a threat to directly deal with is left up in the air.
Although...
After defeating Yggdrasil 7D6, Alphamon says that they hope to meet the main character again during a "time of true peace".
Why is this important? Because in Digimon Story: Hacker's Memory, Craniummon tells you that the Kernel is Yggdrasil's place of rest during times of peace in the Digital World.
But yeah, this segue into Infinity Mountain/the Kernel is to highlight how even a higher world like it is still nothing compared to the hyperdimension that the Eaters reside in.
Those that would scale to this are the Mother Eater (of course) and the Cyber Sleuth versions of Alphamon and Omegamon, as well as Aiba's Digimon partner, Yuuko's Gaioumon, and Arata's Diablomon because they end up defeating the Mother Eater at the end after Suedou takes control of it.
Potentially Yggdrasil as well, which would also mean Ogudomon X and Jesmon GX also potentially scales.
