Materialization and Possibilities:​


It’s been argued by Pain that since these futures are only considered “possibilities” and need to be actively “materialized” into the “limited world” it necessarily means these “possibilities” don’t physically exist, in the sense of actualization.

My contentions with this argument are around two issues, one being semantical in nature while one being evidential in nature, i'll address the semantical issue in this section of my post.

My semantical issues with Pain’s argument would be her acting like both of the words “materialized” and “possibilities” are singular in definition, regardless of context. “Materialized” doesn't inherently imply that the object, event or structure in question didn’t exist previously, on any material level, while “possibilities” doesn’t inherently imply object unreality.

I'd use an analogy to explain the “materialized” aspect of that sentence: Say that an apple (which in our case would be the infinite possible futures) exists within a separate pocket dimension (which in our case would be Kandaquizorte). While examining everything on a cosmological scale, the apple is actualized, it's a fact of reality. But when examined on a more specific scale, such as the universe of a world separate from that pocket dimension (which in our case would be the “limited world” brought up by Nafta), that apple doesn’t exist, it hasn’t become an objective fact within the confines of that world. So when it’s brought into that specific world, it is “materialized” into it because it’s becoming an actual fact of reality in said world.

This would be analogous to our situation since it’s entirely possible (and i believe, provably so) that these possible futures do actually exist in the grand scheme of things, but when examined on a more specific level, they’re only “possibilities” since they don’t actively exist within that world, so the action of them materializing wouldn’t be an innate counter towards them actually existing or not.

Now with my contentions with the “possibilities” argument would simply be “possibilities”, definitionally, don’t prescribe nor describe any level of ontological existence, “possibilities” are just events which may happen, a meteorite striking Earth could possibility happen, that doesn’t mean both the meteorite or Earth are abstract, non-physical concepts which exist purely in the mind, these are objects that are actualized, they do physically exist. So just because these infinite futures are described as “possibilities” doesn’t mean they aren’t real, or don’t exist on any meaningful level.

Evidence for Actualization:​


My evidential issues with Pain’s argument would be the existence of Kandaquizorte, Nafta’s authority. It’s explained to us that Kandaquizorte “is future itself”, that it’s “many futures of this world”, and the exact amount of those futures are described to be “infinite”. If Nafta’s authority exists on a actualized level, it’s necessarily so that those futures which it’s defined to be, would also exist on that exact same actualized level. So unless you have direct confirmation that Nafta’s authority doesn’t actually exist, and instead exist within the mind, or any other non-physical, ontological state, it’s necessarily so those futures do exist. That’s the logical consequence of these set premises.

I’d further support my interpretation through the fact Kandaquizorte’s stated to have equal shape to the physical world, shapes are by definition, the graphical representation of an object, or its external properties, if an object doesn’t have physical existence, it’s unlikely to have physical expression of visual properties either, such as shapes. If an object does exist, then it’s likely to have physical expression of visual properties, such as shapes.

Concluding Statements:

So after reviewing all the provided evidence, under my ultimately unbiased perspective, it's seemingly true that these futures do actually exist and aren't just abstract possibilities, it's seemingly so it requires less assumptions to claim true when compared to the opposition, so i'm in general agreement that these are actual, existing futures, so 2-A, at least spatially, is fine, now whether or not these are separate timelines, idk for sure, so i'll let other, more knowledgeable people argue on that.

Now this post has been made, i'mma head off and do my boxing training, chao everyone.

I agree with that. Was neutral until I read this. I disagree with the thread.

Tier 1 should be discussed elsewhere but it should be noted that Dread is correct. Low 2-C is infinite 4-D and 2-A is also infinite 4-D. Anything 'Larger' then this requires an additional dimensional axis to exist within.

My friend, the situation here is different. Then let's consider 2-A, which is one of the larger infinities than low2-C, as 5D? This is so ridiculous and illogical.

2-A is 'Unquantifiably' larger then Low 2-C currently which in of itself already doesnt make sense because maths, but again this is derailing the thread. Tier 1 downgrades should be discussed in a different thread.

I encourage you to read the tier 2 standard revision thread currently being discussed.

It says that the possibility expands endlessly.

It doesn't say that it is infinite like you are claiming, those are two completely different connotations

I saw one of those translations you provided claiming it to be endless, was that correct?

-Yes, that's exactly what I mean. So I disagree that a larger infinite structure that covers Low 2-C should be Low 1-C .

-Anyway. We must no longer derail.

The kanji has both infinite and endless meaning. If you split the words it would give different meanings everytime. You should read the complete paragraph instead of cut and translating one word at a time
 
It's fine, endless straight means infinite. Both can be argued to be flowery in one way or another, equally. I also remember "mugen" in japanese means same for endless or infinite.

Expands endlessly means it's always expanding not that it was always endless.

~ checked the translations saw endless is not there, no point in arguing then but for the point,
「未来はなに一つ決まってはいません。 ナフタの愛ととも
にそこには無限 (mugen) の可能性が広がり、人々は希望を胸に、 よ
りよい未来をつかみとる。 竜騎士団よ、 恐れることはあり
ません」, the bolded kanji is indeed stands for infinite, so I'll ask for clearance if it's indeed stands for infinitely expanding and not infinite.

Mugen is a Japanese word for 'infinity', explained

Native speakers say "mugen" to mean 'infinity' in Japanese. In this blog post, this word is explained in detail based on its kanji.

Anyway, if it was a translation error then nothing can be done about that, leaving it to it's fate from here on.

You say seperate time, i give you that every possibility is seperate timeline, they have seperate entire point of time from other possibility and the real world

This is funny because the scan literally say "all future are CONSTRUCTED by order"

And the other scan literally say "this is possibility, the SHAPE of another world"

Seperate time huh?? Well bruh
I already explain this in discussion thread long time ago

Veneziara you can see in arnos' profile its a ability that use possibility

And a possibility not get effect by levine guilma a sword that can cut all point of time (past,present,future)
　リヴァインギルマは鞘に収めたまま、その可能性の刃が＜天牙刃断＞と目の前の敵を切り裂いたのだ。
　過去、未来、現在に渡って斬り裂くこの剣を前にしては、痕跡神と言えども、滅びは免れられぬ。
While Levine Girma was still in its scabbard, the blade of that potential cut through the enemy in front of him with <Tenfang Blade Cut>.
In the face of this sword that cuts through the past, future, and present, even trace gods cannot escape their destruction.

Bruh we have
  • constructed future
  • possibility is shape of another world
  • possibility is different timeline (different in entire point of time or past present future)
Fixxed said:
Order already constructed all the future and kandaquisorte encompasses all of it as physically that why you can destroy them, and the scan literally say you must destroy all possibilities for destroy the crystal. The materialized thing is mean materialized in real world, not in the kandaquisorte because from beginning all the future already constructed in that

And bruh..... the scan literally say "this is POSSIBILITY"
Click to expand...
And then the materialzed blablbla thing is mean the constructed future that already exist physically in kandaquisorte materialized in real world or mortal world if you dont understand what i mean about real world in here (yeah not mean kandaquisorte is not real)
