There's literally no evidence whatsoever that the dimension is a spatial dimension. "16 dimension" on it's own doesn't debunk High 1-B-Low 1-A Living Tribunal. It's like DC's 6D.

A "16-dimensional domain in multiversal superspace" should be interpreted as 16 spatial dimensions unless we have a specific reason to believe otherwise. In DC we have the context that neither the 4th, 5th, nor 6th dimensions are spatial.

And while being 16 dimensional in and of itself does not rule out a tier, if the tiering is based on dimensionality that is beyondd 16 dimensions, but those scans are debunked, then the character should be downgraded to the best supported scan. The discussions are ongoing, Ultima didn't 'prove' 1-B Negative Zone, he made an argument for it that is being assessed.

Why should it be? There's no reason to assume that the scan was referring to spatial dimension.

An "x-dimensional domain" is absolutely a reason to assume it's refer to spatial dimensions. That is not how a collection of realms/universes are commonly referred to. When you hear hooves, you think horses, not zebras. There's no reason to reject clear evidence based on the errant possibility of an extremely idiosyncratic usage of a phrase.

How? That example doesn't fit because when you hear hooves, you know it's hooves. In this case, you don't know what "dimensional domain" was referring to. It's not clear evidence, it's an assumption.
 
Beyond_transcending said:

Click to expand...
You're right, you know it's hooves. You can conclude that it is extremely likely to be a horse, based on a collection of experiences that indicate that horses are by far the most common animal with hooves, and that it's unlikely to be a Zebra randomly running around. This idea that we need absolute unerring certainty in order to make a conclusion is not a standard we apply to pretty much anything.

When something is called "x-dimensional" it is an extremely safe assumption that -- in the absence of contrary evidence -- it is referring to the spatial dimensionality of that thing. Saying we must abstain from judgment until we find a scan that says "spatial" is not realistic and if we applied that standard universally we would never pass a single CRT. We don't need absolute certainty, we just need good evidence. In this case, a "16-dimensional domain" is great evidence of 16 spatial dimensions.

Thank you, I checked and the argument for rejection seems to be that the dream-like universes are within atoms and that it is a reference to the Microverse. I have two issues with this however-

1: The actual scan makes no mention of microverse, nor atoms. Viewing something as an atom isn't a qualitative superiority anyway, unlike viewing it as a dream.

2: Microverse is a parallel reality, not something that is contained by another universe and viewed as a dream.

In the issue itself, this event happens concurrently with another character being in the Microverse. In that sense, "Macroverse" is established as a concept that directly parallels the concept of the microverse.

That's the point. His comment about dreams is clearly flowery language, as we know that the relationship between these universes is not dream like.

Again, how? Because it's called a domain? It's not good evidence because it's not explicit.

That's a Non-Sequitur, but even without that, as I said before, Microverse is parallel, not something contained by universes. Going by your logic the Macroverse is a universe that contains the Microverse.

How do we know that? Again he didn't mention atoms, you are assuming he's referring to atoms, something which clearly contradicts the nature of the Microverse. It's a contradictory assumption.

And it's clearly not flowery language as Silver Surfer said this-
He might be making the whole thing up; but, having had personal experience of the worlds-within-worlds phenomenon- and intuiting a genuine- albeit twisted- wisdom beneath his lunacy, I believe him
Click to expand...

Silver Surfer directly refers to the worlds-within-worlds phenomenon(while the Microverse is parallel), and he uses his own knowledge into what Sama-D stated and goes into why he trusts him. Sama-D also not only mentions dreams but also thoughts, clear references to a qualitative superiority.

The "worlds-within-worlds" phenomenon in Marvel is quite consistent, Silver Surfer and Sama-D were clearly referring to this, not any Microverse or atoms or parallel universes- https://2.bp.blogspot.com/6lzy0zS04...vjDr1looRLovbs3FxBbLrqx9rnBRNWIMHWuRbEA=s1600

The Negative Zone in itself has been stated or shown to be 3-dimensional plenty of times, and is portrayed as a negative mirror-universe to the 3-dimensional Marvel universe, and from what I recall we cited several of these occasions in the previous thread (about the Negative Zone) and this one combined. However, it definitely seems to intersect with an infinite-dimensional nexus that would scale to the Marvel multiverse as a whole.
 
Beyond_transcending said:

Yes, there is. Something referred to as "x-dimensional" is, in the vast majority of cases, referring to the spatial dimensionality.

Beyond_transcending said:

Click to expand...
No, because it is called "16-dimensional." If it had simply said "A domain with 16 dimensions" I'd still argue this leans towards spatial, but not as strongly. "16-dimensional" however is extremely strongly leaning towards spatial, to the extent that it should be assumed by default unless it is contradicted by other evidence.

Transcending said:

Click to expand...
The Macroverse contains the universes that contain the Microverse. And no, it's not a "non-sequitur." The fact that "Macroverse" and "Microverse" were used in the same issue of the same comic is a clear and direct indication that the two are operating on opposite extensions of the same concept.

Moreover, the inhabitants of the Microverse refer to the main universe as the "Macroverse" which further indicates that the term "Macroverse" is an inverse of the relationship between the main universe and the Microverse.

Also, the idea that the microverse is "parallel universes" is a somewhat recent retcon. For the majority of the realms initial history it was explicitly described as being within the main universe, just smaller. The Silver Surfer scan is from the 90s, during this same period, so it is obviously written within that framework.

Transcending said:

Because the relationship between the universe and the microverse is not dream like, and that is the relationship upon which the macroverse is modeled.
 
 
Antvasima said:
I agree with Deagonx, as usual.
Click to expand...
Yeah. We're back to their usual bad faith arguments. In a comic issue which features both the Microverse and the "Macroverse" -- a term which Microverse inhabitants sometimes use to refer to the regular universe -- they are arguing that the usage of terms aren't related to each other. It's not really worth taking seriously.

Yes, from what I recall they do seem to tend to focus on very unreasonable spam arguments to gain upgrades, regardless if it makes logical sense or not.

Here are some previous arguments about the Negative Zone btw, just so we do not have to repeat ourselves over and over.







Click to expand...
You only have one valid argument with evidence there, and the rest are just walls off text and don't compile more than one scan beyond the one everyone knows to show that Marvel consistently portrays the Zone as 3D, while @Ultima_Reality argued with several different comics that subspace and Crossroad is an infinite dimensional space (while both is a inner part of the Negative Zone), I even brought proof from other writers to support that.

So making an argument with a bunch of text when in fact this ''has always been portrayed as 3D'' is only based on a single scan against a vast majority of scans is bullshit.

Ok..so let me get this right, are you saying the Macroverse and Microverse are opposite extensions of the same concept because both places were shown in the same comic?

Also, even if they were opposite extensions of the same concept, why would that make the Macroverse encompass universes that encompass the Microverse? Why would Sama-D be referring to the Microverse? That's why it's a Non-Sequitur.
Moreover, the inhabitants of the Microverse refer to the main universe as the "Macroverse" which further indicates that the term "Macroverse" is an inverse of the relationship between the main universe and the Microverse

Doctor Multiverse called Earth-0 the primary universe. So is Earth-8 an inverse of Earth-0? And again, this doesn't answer how that means Sama-D was referring to the Microverse. People from parallel universes can call a universe the main universe.

So are you saying Dormammu was also referring to the Microverse when he said "worlds within worlds"? Every character who mentioned that concept is actually referring to a parallel reality? That would be a massive grammatical error by the characters.

As I said, for a huge portion of the Microverse's history, universes did contain it. This comic was written during that era, so it should be interpreted in that context.

That's part of it, but if I had to list the full reasons it'd be this:

1) Intuitively, we should lean towards seeing them as opposites, because in literal linguistic terms macro and micro are direct opposites.

2) The fact that it was featured solely in this comic, which included the microverse, is a further and even stronger indication of this

3) The fact that Microverse inhabitants refer to the main universe as the Macroverse is the nail in the coffin that the Macroverse as mentioned in this comic is a direct parallel to the relationship between the main universes and the Microverse.

This should be obvious. You should spend less effort dogmatically fighting foregone conclusions. It is a waste of everyone's time.

Your scan directly supports my point. When the Microverse was first featured in Marvel, it was portrayed as a sub-atomic world in the regular universes. The fact that this was changed later on does not contradict what I am saying.

Your constant stonewalling and sealioning is wasting other people's time and serves no purpose. The evidence presented, for instance, with regard to the Microverse/Macroverse relationship is completely definitive. Any reasonable person would've moved on by now, but you two have consistently chosen to bicker on in the face of completely overwhelming evidence, utterly destroyed arguments, relying solely on bad faith arguing, strawmanning, and argument from possibility. He did not insult you, he accurately described your actions.

Ad hominem does not refer to any negative remark about someone in a discussion. It specifically refers to using the said remark as a basis for rejecting the argument. This was not ad hominem, it was simply a description of your behavior. Your argument was completely rebutted on evidentiary and rational grounds, separate from this comment.
