Since you seem to now see the main issue I’m trying to point out, I’ll only focus on these bits so the thread doesn’t get anymore derailed by irrelevant stuff.
Simply put, the main confusion with the current standards I have is that we accept freely moving
through linear time at will as immeasurable speed, but for lack of explained reasoning, someone who could freely move beyond time all together
with movement isn’t qualified for the same exact rating. To make sure you get a clear picture of what I’m trying to say, let’s use this as an example:
Let’s take this line, with points X, Z and Y.
X represents the past
Z represents the present
Y represents the future
Based on how the current standards work, freely moving from Y (the future) to X (the past) or from Z (the present) to Y (the future) would be immeasurable speed. Freely moving throughout the line segment, which in this case, is linear time.
This is where the problem comes now. Let’s say a character can freely move into a higher dimension that’s proven to transcend space and time. And by freely, I mean it’s a speed feat and not some teleportation or whatever. That means, instead of them simply moving
between points X, Z and Y, aka moving between the past, present and future, they are moving
beyond all 3 of them entirely.
This is my main issue with the current standards. And if there’s an explanation for why we don’t accept the latter, someone please explain it to me.
Because I’m not understanding how someone who’s freely able to move beyond all of what linear time is (which actually should still count moving through linear time and then some) cannot get the same speed rating as someone who can only move throughout linear time and nothing else.
