That's the idea, but if it's ever expanding it's 2-B, if it's actually built of endless possibilities right off the bat (doesn't grow) that's 2-A unless raw scans prove us otherwise.
Endless possibilities isn't literal - it's that there are so many possiblites that they seem endless, not that they are actually endless.

That's just 2-B.
 
Iirc endless and Infinite can share the same word in japanese, so that's why he's still at 2 tiers rn. But endless is basically evergrowing. So basically since everything continues the amount of possibilities keeps increasing.

Endless and Infinite are synonyms - but just because someone says something is infinite or endless, doesn't mean they are being literal.

People describe the sea or the sky as endless, but that doesn't mean that it is. There being hyperbolic. People do that, you know.

The fact that the multiverse is based on possibilities proves this as there are only a finite amount of possibilities that could exist to create new universes. The number is so astronomically large that it could be considered "endless", but that doesn't mean that it is, in fact, endless.

Saying that the Getbackers multiverse is ever-expanding from just this scan alone is not sufficient enough evidence.They are at a Many-Worlds Theory level multiverse, which is still ridiculously huge and are greater than most verses.
 
Hmm, our multiverse theory is actually ever expanding too iirc. And if a multiverse is said to embody endless possibilities doesn't mean we can just dismiss that as basic flowery language it's a pretty good possibility that it's evergrowing as it would make sense considering:

1. The number of possibilities is either infinite or ever growing.

2. The Archvier is a self developing system.
 
Endless is just 2-B. All possible possibilities is 2-B. Never ending possibilities 2-B.

If you want 2-A you need a specific statement of infinite.

Our universe is endless-expanding, not are multiverse. But no, the Many-World's Theory is finite, but the number is so large that people just say that it is endless. Again, people call the sea or sky endless when it actually isn't because they are being hyperbolic.

And no, you can't everything literally. Endless possiblites is rather obvious flowerly language.

Especially since:

1. The number of possibilities IS finite, not infinite or ever-expanding. You are just wrong about this.

2. And this means nothing.
 
Endless means ever expanding. It can be used in the context of infinite sometimes sure, but most of the time it isn't. Having no end/expanding forever is not infinite, our universe is endless but it isn't infinite.

No, Endless means infinite - they are synonymous.

However, the terminology of endless in this context is clearly hyperbolic for reasons I have written above.
 
Endless does not mean infinite. The literal definition is "having or seeming to have no end or limit". This does not equal infinite.

Infinite is also synonymous with countless, innumerable, unlimited, etc. Do all of those mean infinite as well? No.

That doesn't mean much.

The use of the word Infinite can be used just as hyperbolically as the word endless.

And any one of those can mean infinite if the context is shown the statement to be legitimate and not just flowery language like it clearly is with Getbackers.
 
Yes, I agree with you on that.

I was just saying that endless is commonly not used in the context of infinite, it can be of course but usually not. And that saying "endless possibilities" is completely different from saying "infinite possibilities".

Endless in this case would mean that the number of possibilities would keep exponentially growing forever, going from one finite number to a larger finite number. While saying infinite you would mean that the number of possibilities is and always was ∞.
