R>F may be useless; it is not different from normal reality warping.

R>F automatically gives 1-A. I think it should not be so.

R>F doesn't automatically give 1-A or even a "Higher-D > Lower-D" degree of transcendence.

Firstly I believe that this should be a staff thread considering it's impact secondly

I don't believe that R>F automatically warrants 1-A. You must ensure that it's “true” R>F as in it should be Qualitative in nature and that there's no disqualifiers.
All R>F (viewing lower world as a book or similar medium isnt R>F) is qualitative superiority unless proven otherwise. Viewing lower reality as fiction/an illusion means that the lower world is insubstantial/0 in comparison which then leads to the scenario where you cant add that "0" to lead to the "1" of the higher reality, while higher dimensions and infinitely larger planes are continuous to the lower ones and you can conceivably add up to them or take a slice off them equivalent to the smaller plane.
 
It is possible to say differently: R>F stuff doesn't automatically give even a "Higher-D > Lower-D" degree of transcendence.
Yes, R>F should not be a direct qualifier, I do share that opinion now whether it be Qualitative or Quantitative in nature I.e the nature of the superiority can be determined with other evidences. However your thread seems very Bare bones for what it's attempting to achieve.

I never denied that R>F isn't Qualitative Superiority by it's very nature a reality-fictional gap should be Qualitative simply based on the fact that one treats the other as fictitious/unreal, because no amounts of stacking/addition of something unreal/fictitious should result in said things amounting to something real. What I said was that R>F in fiction isn't necessarily a Qualitative gap. It can be both Qualitative or Quantitative in nature that is to be determined based on whether there's
  • Ample evidence to qualify for a Qualitative gap (an elaboration on the R>F)
  • potential Disqualifiers
My stance is Simple;
R>F by default is Qualitative however it shouldn't automatically warrant a 1-A rating. A 1-A rating should be given if there's enough evidence for a Qualitative gap (an elaboration on the of R>F is enough imo) with no potential disqualifiers. Essentially a Vague mention of a character seeing another as fictitious or another world as a dream shouldn't qualify for 1-A, it should be elaborated on. I do believe that is the current standards though.
 
should be closed, but yeah we already knew this, it all depends on how each story depicts the trascendance, imo umineko is the best example
 
Ant and myself both agree on just closing it, as does the majority. We can see what others think, but honestly if others have better arguments they'd be better off making their own thread.
