Nasuverse Revisions Part 2: Root Scaling

Status
Not open for further replies.
Nice job ignoring how that still doesn't say the Wish Granting is the one that breaks down that wall. In fact, in those same quotes, it straight up says that it does that with the prana absorbed by it and the souls of the heroic spirits.

That doesn't change the mathematics and tiering system here. Or should we downgrade the Root?

Also, I did post before on this thread the the souls of 7 heroic spirits from the main classes are needed for its function.

Edit: and its stated that the Grail bores a hole, and tears down a wall which opens a path to the root. To open a path to the root those walls must be 1-A
 
The Grail didn't bust any wall though, that's the souls of the heroic spirits returning to the Root
But they come from the Throne and return to the Throne, they don't need in any sense go to the Root, and if the argument is something like: 'they die, return to the Root, and then go to the Throne' then they would gain soul resistance of 1-A because of survive the Root. So have to be one of the two, the Throne is in the Root or the Throne isn't in the Root and the Greater Grail had to open a hole to the Root.
 
As far I know it was only know that it was above the MoonCell, would be good to also bring some quote saying is in the Root just to confirm.
From Fate/complete material III

Birth of Heroic Spirits
It's been explained that Heroic Spirits are beings that heroes whom belief has been gathered upon become after death, but heroes of myths and legends can be born by the gathering of belief even if they didn't exist. Also, there are those who those who make a contract of some sort with the world when they were alive and as compensation become Heroic Spirits after death. In the Fifth War, Hasan Sabaha was a hero that actually existed, and Herakles and Medusa are ones of legends. Also, Emiya and Artoria are beings that became (or will become) Heroic Spirits after their contract with the world. Those who have become Heroic Spirits are freed from the constraints of time and are moved to the Throne of Heroes, existing to the outside of the World.

•Heroic Spirit summoning
Heroic Spirits are beings cut off from the time axis and can be summoned in any era, regardless of past and future. However, the only one that can summon the main body of the Heroic Spirits is the "world", and alas, humans can't summon the main body and can only summon their emanations, the Servants. Speaking of which, the information (souls) making up the Servants return to the main body at the same time as the death of the Servant, and the main body can know, as records, about the actions of the Servants as if reading a book.

Idk how reliable this is, but the outside of the World seems to refers to the Root.

Fate/Apoc and Zero correlate "outside of this world" with the root.

though i do think that first one should be fact checked.
 
Outside of the World is used for the Root, but it doesn't mean every instance of "Outside of the World" is the Root, just like how not every instance of Root means The Swirl of the Root. We don't even know how the two of them correlate in any logical sense anyway.
But they come from the Throne and return to the Throne, they don't need in any sense go to the Root, and if the argument is something like: 'they die, return to the Root, and then go to the Throne' then they would gain soul resistance of 1-A because of survive the Root. So have to be one of the two, the Throne is in the Root or the Throne isn't in the Root and the Greater Grail had to open a hole to the Root.
I mean, even if they don't return to the Root, it's still a vague progress that has no indication of scaling to wish granting, unless you want literally every Servant and Mage in Nasu to be 1-A because "their soul scales to it".

You don't even know what you are talking about. How does mathematics or the tiering system even matter here? What does the Root being 1-A matter?

Cool, that doesn't answer my question.

Also, i kinda have a problem with the wall between the Root and the Grail being 1-A in the first place. For one, it being the wall between the World and the Root doesn't prove anything unless the wall is part of the Root itself. Why should we assume that it's 1-A without any statements towards it's durability? Does it even have durability? What even is it?

We don't know, because every 1-A feat given to the Root is given to the Root itself, not some vague "wall" that exists within the Grail.

Mathematically, 1-A has its size represented by further uncountably infinite cardinals beyond useful applications of certain measures (ℵ2 and onwards, most specifically) and can be extended unto greater levels of infinity, representing different complexities or qualitative "steps" on an Outerversal scale.

"High 1-B = a infinite layered hierarchy
Low 1-A = a uncountable number of infinite layered hierarchies being stacked
1-A = being inacessible and above any expansion of a Infinite Layered hierarchy, in a way that doesnt matter how much layers exist, it never will reach u"


"Its analogous to the difference between low 2-c and High 1-B, just in larger scale. 1-A Characters posses x-amount of layers that trancend the previous one, x being a finite amount. 1-A+ is x being infinite"


"
But what makes a realm 1-A?
Transcending the very structure onto which higher dimensions, layers and planes are embedded, such that no additions to said hierarchy will ever reach you."



in conclusion; for it to come even remotely close to boring a hole through this wall it must be 1-A

Also, the encloypedia source we love to use also says the holy grail bores a hole.

Holy Grail
#
report error
other
The cup that received the blood of God.
It is one of the greatest holy relics, a wish-granter that fulfills its owner’s desires.
It is believed to have its origins in the “wish-granting cauldron” that appears in numerous myths.
The Holy Grail that appears in Fate/stay night is not the original, but rather a replica made to function as a “wish-granter.”
When Heroic Spirits are defeated, they return to their original forms as fragments of power and vanish from the time axis.
However, before that can happen the Einzbern Holy Grail intercepts and stores them until the ritual to open the “hole” can be enacted by the Great Holy Grail.

This is interesting and yes, from what I remeber it's also called the outside of the World.
Outside of the World is used for the Root, but it doesn't mean every instance of "Outside of the World" is the Root, just like how not every instance of Root means The Swirl of the Root. We don't even know how the two of them correlate in any logical sense anyway.

I mean, even if they don't return to the Root, it's still a vague progress that has no indication of scaling to wish granting, unless you want literally every Servant and Mage in Nasu to be 1-A because "their soul scales to it".
But what reason whe have to think that this use of Outside of the World isn't talking about the Root? I mean, if the Greater Grail only take advantage of the process of Servants returning to their place to make the hole to the Root, and their place is the Throne, then logically the Throne have to be in the Root, that or for some reason the souls go first to the Root and after to the Throne in which case their souls have to scale to it, one of the two is what the gathered info seem to suggest.

That's not how evidence works. You can't just say "why wouldn't this term that could be used for a number of things not be used for this one specific thing?"

For one, it was my mistake, it's never said they use the process of them returning, it just say they use their souls and prana it collected. Probably use the magical energy of the souls.

It also wouldn't make sense. The Land of Shadows from Scáthach is also said to be from Outside of the World, yet AAS still destroyed it. And if the Throne was in the Root, then why does Paracelsus still look for a way to reach the Root, when he supposedly has already done that?

@TheUnshakableOne

You have no idea of what you are talking about. What does literally any of that matter for the wall between the Root and the Grail? That's a blatant non-sequitur, i don't even know how to respond.

Like, cool, the Root qualifies for 1-A. None of that applies to the wall itself.

I don't think you understand here.

and idk how to explain this more simply

the difference between a Tier 9 to a High 1-B is "many uncountable infinities" that same difference is applied to Low 1-A and 1-A except its even larger

therefore for the Greater grail to make a "hole" that does in fact lead to the Root. that wall has to be 1-A due to that large of a difference between each tier. the Root should be completely inaccessible to all lower levels the absolute pinnacle of all transcendence in the verse. So for something to come close to that level must be 1-A as well other wise its completely inaccessible

Nvm, it does use their return. Which, to me, just gives enough evidence that the wall is just like, Low 1-C, since it can crack by forcing it with Low 1-C force.

Dude, it makes a hole "to" the Root, not "through". The wall could he anywhere in the scale, because we don't know where it's even located.

Hell, it's probably not even close to the Root, seeing as the journey between the wall and the Root is said to be gigantic.

Dude...

it makes a Hole to the Root as i been saying not through. you have the wrong assumption im making here.

to say its not even close to the root goes aganist context provided

The Greater Grail maintained its incorruptible brilliance as it had always done . Some amount of prana had been spilled when it was ripped from the ley lines, but it would not prove to be a problem .

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada knew this Grail well . The Tohsakas had abandoned the Holy Grail and attempted a different approach to reach the Root; meanwhile, the Makiris had decayed, passing down knowledge of the Grail only as an oral tradition . Shirou had managed to buy the information from both of these families . Naturally, he could obtain nothing at all from the Einzberns, who had yet to abandon the Holy Grail, but what he had learned was information necessary to understanding its composition and system of functions .

The Greater Grail spent sixty years absorbing prana and used it to cut open a path that would lead to true Magic – opening a hole that would lead outside the world .

There was a place outside the world, where it was said that almighty power and ultimate truths could be discovered . It was called Akasha, the Swirl of the Root, and it was the goal of all Magi though nearly every one of them would fail in reaching it . From one generation to the next, they passed on their dreams and hopes – but it was a hopeless path in the end, as evidenced by the first lesson for all Magi: “learning to give up”
-Fate/Apocrypha

It's opening a hole to the root.


if High 1-B = an infinite layered hierarchy
and Low 1-A = an uncountable number of infinite layered hierarchies being stacked
Then 1-A = is inacessible and above any expansion of a Infinite Layered hierarchy, in a way that doesnt matter how much layers exist, it never will reach you

Using what is said above. That wall must be 1-A as well or else it will make no sense with vswiki tiering sytem.
 
No, it doesn't need to be 1-A, that's a jump you are making with very specific interpretations.

Like, cool, it makes a hole through a wall that leads to the Root. Where is that wall? How does it relate to the Root? Is it even related to the Root? We don't know.

Illya says that the Grail takes advantage of the distortions caused by the leylines around Fuyuki to break down the wall between the inside and the outside of the world. But do we even know where, in relation to the Root, that wall even is?

No, we don't. In fact, it would probably be far lower, seeing as the heroic spirits returning to the Throne also helps break down that wall, and as established, the Throne is Low 1-C.

In the end, we don't know anything about the wall, and assuming these things is just making more problems as we go. (Like how this would mean that the higher dimensions in Nasu would be 1-A, which doesn't even make sense because they are what prove it's 1-A)
 
No, it doesn't need to be 1-A, that's a jump you are making with very specific interpretations.

that would be a violation of the wiki's tiering system.

unimportant/irrelevant information; context says that it opens a hole to a 1-A structure/being. you cannot twist that in any way. its explicitly stated to open a hole to the root.

No, we don't. In fact, it would probably be far lower, seeing as the heroic spirits returning to the Throne also helps break down that wall, and as established, the Throne is Low 1-C.

im going to have to ask for very specific burden of proof. a very explicit statement here.

In the end, we don't know anything about the wall

we have all the information we need about this wall to prove its a 1-A structure.

i'll have to continue this at some point later. i have irl stuff to take care of.

Literally wouldn't, as has been discussed.
nimportant information; context is. it opens a hole to a 1-A structure/being. you cant twist that in any way.
Except it's incredibly important information, it's the difference between affecting a 1-A structure or affecting a structure that leads to a 1-A place, which you still haven't proved.
im going to have to ask for very specific burden of proof. a very explicit sstatement here.
"And once the Holy Grail collects enough souls to activate the Great Holy Grail, it uses the heroic spirits' souls to open a hole.
The Great Holy Grail fixes the small hole created when the heroic spirits return to their original place after their roles are fulfilled. This opens up the passage to the origin that humans cannot reach."

They return to the Throne, which is a higher dimension beyond time. Feat wise, this shows that the wall isn't 1-A, unless you want to argue every higher dimension beyond time is 1-A.

we have all the information we need about this wall to prove its a 1-A structure.
Let me ask you this, if a Low 2-C structure was within a Low 1-C space, and you opened a portal from the structure to that space, would it be Low 1-C AP? Because by this logic, it would.
 
If we ask for the opinions of others who know about tier 1 stuff regarding the wall thing to see their opinion? The only one I know have been talking here and know well about tier 1 stuff (if I'm correct) is @QuasiYuri, so what do you think?
 
@TheUnshakableOne

For whenever you get back: i was getting pretty tilted about this, and the back and forth wasn't helping... well, anything. It just clutters the thread. So, i'm gonna stop here and let other people give their takes, and give a summary if asked.
 
I don't know if this could work as a very short and basic summary, but well:

TheUnshakableOne say that the Greater Grail have to be 1-A for open a hole in the wall of the Root.

My thoughts in the end concluded that the Greater Grail take advantage of the return of the servants souls to the Throne to reach the Root, which mean added with another quote from QuasiYuri that the Throne have to be in the Root.

And CrimsonStarFallen say that that would only mean that the wall is Low 1-C.

Something like this I think? It's better if the previous arguments are readed because this is a really short and too basic version.
 
Thank you. So is somebody willing to undo the 1-A upgrades?
 
Okay. Thank you for helping out.
 
So in the end isn't gonna be explored that the Greater Grail use the return of servants to the Throne to reach the Root? I honestly feel that's something worth to talk but well.
 
Thank you.

So is there anything left to do here, or should we close this thread?
