A continuation of this thread. As previously accepted, sources are no longer eligible as type 2 concepts, nor are they type 2 information. Most characters in the verse have high-godly regeneration from recovering their sources, which until recently were fundamental aspects of the self. However, since that's no longer the case, source regeneration cannot be high-godly; As stated on the regeneration page, HGR cannot typically be achieved through the regeneration of type 3 concepts. They can, however, qualify so long as they are treated as being as difficult to regenerate from as type 1/2 concepts, type 2 information, or so on:
"High-Godly: The ability to regenerate after the erasure of body, mind, and soul, along with at least one even more fundamental aspect of a character's existence, such as their place in the narrative, their entire history, or the underlying information (Type 2) or concept(s) (Type 1 or 2, but only very rarely 3, if there is strong evidence of being similar to the former types in terms of how hard it is to regenerate from them) needed for them to exist."
So either Maou Gakuin supporters provide proof that sources are as difficult to regenerate as type 1/2 concepts, or HGR goes. Very simple. I would like to again remind people that this has nothing to do with whether or not sources are fundamental; Rather, it is specifically about how difficult they are to regenerate relative to higher concepts. Please do not bring up irrelevant quotes of the source being a fundamental concept, and we'll get through this a lot quicker.
this is a shorter thread than i thought it would be but it's like 99% based on already accepted stuff so shut up
