Introductions
Likely my biggest CRT ever, and the first of many tier 1 shenanigans in Nasuverse. Shoutouts to Ultima, John935, TheUnshakableOne, Regidian, Iapetus and many, many others, either on or off site. This would have been impossible to do alone.
This is the day where my reputation on VSBW dies.
What is The Root?
Put simply, the Root, or the Akashic Records/the Swirl of Origin, is the beginning and end of all things. It's where every phenomena, object, person, soul, concept, origin and boundary originated and where all of them end.
It is beyond time and space, beyond all boundaries in which no one should be allowed.
It is even beyond philosophical concepts such as Taiji:
Now, onto solid tiering.
Higher Dimensions
It's no secret that higher dimensions are present in the Nasuverse. Avalon's 6th dimensional interference, BB's 8th dimensional wall, souls being higher dimensional, Imaginary Space Number. However, there have never been any attempts to contextualize how Higher Dimensions work in the Nasuverse.
Turns out, doing so is quite simple, thanks to C.C.C
Rin explains that higher dimensions are like "recorded universes", and by using INS's 4 dimensional nature, BB manages to see every facet of the 3 dimensional world, past, present and future as the same thing, as a book that she can read. That's a higher dimensional perspective, and it extends across every higher dimension, as shown in Fate/Strange Fake, where Zelretch saw all timelines as pages in a book.
Now, let's not discuss what this affects in the big picture, that can be discussed in another CRT that I will make something after this is finished. For now, let's discuss how this affects the Root.
One might think it would be pretty obvious. BB saw up to 8 dimensions, the Root transcends it and is at least 9 dimensional. However, it is far more potent than that, for the Root controls dimensional theory itself.
Not only that, it is a metaphysical force that exists beyond this world, outside of and at the apex of dimensional theory.
So not only does the Root control the dimensional theory and what it is, it exists completely outside of it, independent of its definitions. Just as the Luminous Being, this would place it at 1-A, as it's level of existence is independent of the "layers" it exists outside of, being consistent regardless of how they are altered, be it to higher or lower levels.
However, that is not all.
It Cannot Be The " "
There is one major "mechanic" to the Root, or " " that has not been explored yet. The fact that whatever descriptions attached to it are not " ". All was created from it, including logic, and all logic that is applied to "it" cannot be "it", as it was created from "it".
Even " " does not represent " ", for it is a notion crafted by our logic.
That which has names should not be in the Root, as it is a place without boundaries, and a power of true "emptiness".
To put it in simpler terms, the Root exists beyond any ontological descriptions / categories and extensions, making it 1-A.
Conclusion
The Root/Swirl of Origin/Akasha/Heaven/Kara/Source of many headaches is a 1-A power beyond everything in the Nasuverse. However, those whose hax scales to it do exist.
But as you may imagine, just making the Root this level is already a controversial enough topic. Part 2 of this thread will cover those who scale to it as well as other higher dimensional shenanigans thanks to the contextualization given in this thread.
For now, only those who would scale are those who are already accepted to have "Root tier" hax, which is pretty much only Void Shiki and Unified Language.
This would also lead to the creation of a Root page, seen here. Now, while the Root isn't exactly a character, it does seem to have a will, as seen by Void Shiki, who has stated she is literally the Root before. Besides, things like this are allowed to exist if characters make use of it and it is important for higher tiers.
