Hi, I stumbled upon this wiki and am loving it so far, but I'm confused how tiers work when dealing with verse containing 4th wall breaking characters.
Fictional characters cannot interact with our world, only a fictional representation of the real world since they are just bits of data and/or images on our screen/paper. Therefore if a godly character see through his fictional reality and interact with what looks like our world, they're really only interacting with reality-fiction.
But that imply that his reality is fiction within fiction. All the dimensions inside are a mere game on a computer and that computer along with the humans using it are themselves a fiction inside our computers, for example. So doesn't that mean anyone without reality-fiction interaction in that verse(let's call it A) is tier 11 since they are lower-dimensional than the normal humans of reality-fiction?
After all, in verse without such interaction(calling it B), there is no superior "real world" reality above. The world all characters of verse B lives in IS "real" (aka reality-fiction); there are no extra layer of reality between them and us unlike in verse A. They are just fiction, not fiction of fiction. The characters of verse A are comparable to characters in a story people from verse B reads.
For example, an author avatar of a normal writer in a 3D pseudo "real world" drawing the characters in a verse be tier 10 and his characters tier 11, but an author avatar character of some kind of omnipotent being existing (in whatever number of dimensions there are in the verse) alongside the rest of the cast wouldn't affect the tiers by itself since that reality is still "real" (no pseudo "real world" above it).
Where did I go wrong with my understanding? Sorry if didn't explain well, all those layers gets confusing haha.
