It's not name fallacy when it comes to other verses
Great sources only governs individual existence? Then tell me why amount of worlds magic power was affecting when sources were gotten affected. You should know to maintain order magic power is required which is fire dew.
First I do not understand your question
Secondly I am not supposed to know that
And thirdly, your scan did not mention anything about magic power getting affected when source was affected.
The only thing close to this was
If the total amount of magical power in the world continues to decrease, it is reasonable to assume that there are lives that cannot be reincarnated or transmigrated.
And this would imply that sources were getting affected due to decrease in magic power and not the other way around like you said
Also name fallacy really? I literally said that in touha verse when she used names of gods = concepts but yet the same who disagrees here, agreed there.
Like as much as I hate using whataboutsam arguments but it is tiring that those who agree with the same mechanics disagrees with this one.
I think Touhou has some other things aside just names, such as names giving things their attributes and definition. and I should add it is not the name they are given that is type 1 but rather name/boundaries itself in general is, also a thread needs to be open for 48hrs and it was closed prior if you have contentions you can always use that to open it
There is no difference in their application. The source is and has always been fire dew. It governs/influences Order which governs reality and also governs an individual existence.
A single source governs human, a collection of them (billions or infinite) governs order, that is a difference in their application.
There is no distinction between the two. The World itself doesn't have a source (source in the sense of an individual concept of it's own). The total amount of Fire Dew is what sustains the World.
Yes I think I mentioned that
All Fire Dew is the same and it is what governs Order. On earth (the world of mortals), Fire Dew exists as the source (if you're alive) and for those who are dead, they are Fire Dew in the world of the gods. Being alive doesn't remove the influence of your source/ Fire Dew on the Total amount in the world.
I still cannot really agree with all fire dew are the same, die to that quote about a conformist iirc.
It says someone like that makes the total fire dew stronger.
Now we're finally starting to see the big picture.
Take the total amount of Fire Dew/Source as nonrenewable energy. This energy is what sustains the world.
Take the brightness of a light bulb as an indicator for the worlds integrity (not in the sense of personality but as stability). Whenever any amount of Fire Dew/ source (using both interchangeably) is destroyed, consumed, leaked out of the world, the light bulb dims. The amount lost is what determines by how much the brightness of the light bulb dims.
Now when this energy falls below a certain level, the light bulb completely goes off indicating the complete loss of integrity and complete destruction of the world.
Verse mechanics? Probably but is it still about potency or scale? Yes, why? Because each individual fire dew/ claimed source, as you put it, still influences the stability of reality to a certain extent. Not completely destroying reality by destroying an individual one doesn't mean it's influence is zero, it's still there, just miniscule or unnoticeable.
Another analogy will be thousands of pillars that support a massive structure. Will the loss of one pillar cause the entire structure to crumble? No because there's still thousands more supporting it, does it mean the loss of one pillar doesn't compromise the structures integrity? Obviously no too.
Let me ask since the fire dew governs order (when I say fire dew, i mean the collective amount of sources). And orders are supposed to govern sources.
How does that work?
I mean at least to me it shows more distinction between the firedew and sources, since if that is not the case then individual sources are supposed to be above order, but it is only plausible since it is a verse thing.
