The Tiering System FAQ says the following: "However, if it is specified that they "transcend space and time" in the sense that they exist on some higher level of reality that is outright superior to a spacetime continuum in nature, then they should be put at Low 1-C, assuming the continuum in question is one comprised of four dimensions."
Later on, it says: "Therefore, such descriptors are to be evaluated while taking into account the number of dimensions which the verse has been shown to entertain; for example, a character stated to exist above physical dimensions in relation to a 4-dimensional cosmology would be Low 1-C with no further context."
Just to be sure, I looked up other dimensionality related questions on the Wiki, and the answers consistently say that being superior to the concepts of space and time is enough for Low 1-C. Naturally, the same would apply for physical dimensions (as long as they at least go all the way up to 4D). This holds up with what the FAQ says (as seen above), with both even pointing out that no further context is required as long it's outright superior to those concepts.
My question goes as follows: Why am I suddenly seeing a big deal being made out of the difference between qualitative superiority and superiority when the difference between the two is so vague and arbitrary? Especially when the latter was seemingly always considered enough for tier 1 until now. What is it that I missed?
Bonus Question: Are infinite speed or immeasurable characters automatically immune to time stop? Based on what I've seen that seems to be the case, but even if so, there must be exceptions. I wonder what they are.
