Is abstract existence type 2 > type 1?
Type 1: Exists purely as an abstraction. These characters lack a true physical form, and affecting them requires the ability to affect directly the abstraction itself, because eventual physical manifestations are merely avatars.
Type 2: Embodies an abstraction, and can be resurrected or regenerate indefinitely thanks to it. Destroying the abstraction is required to permanently kill those characters, but they can still be affected without directly altering it.
 
No, type 1 >type 2 [exists as abstraction>embodies an abstraction]

affecting them requires the ability to affect directly the abstraction itself, because eventual physical manifestations are merely avatars.
Destroying the abstraction is required to permanently kill those characters, but they can still be affected without directly altering it.
 
Is abstract existence type 2 > type 1?
I don't think so. We can attack type 2 with HAX, I can give an example like mind manipulation.
This way, instead of dying, they can faint and lose their combat ability.
Therefore, the ability of type 2 definitely cannot be activated.
As for type 1, you must have NPI ability to interact with them. What I mean is... I think that by default, type 1 is definitely more useful than type 2. Yeah, context may vary so type 2 could be better than 1.
I'm just talking about the default.
 
sometimes abstract type 2>type 1

like kratos
from how i am understanding it, if a character is an abstraction of concept then type 1 > type 2. Otherwise it is mostly type 2 bcoz interacting with ae is not that difficult but type 2 would be really difficult to be killed as it can regenerate again and again
 
Its context dependent because it can go either way

Generally type 1 > type 2

But there are cases where type 2 can be > type 1.
