Because Reality Equalization is a standard that's precisely meant to address cases in which the difference is between two qualitatively distinct layers of reality. As long as the scenario at hand fits that bill, it's no longer "parallel worlds" as far as we are concerned, even if the verse calls them by that name. To quote the page itself:I didn't understand the last part, could you explain why that would be the case? I mean offsite you explained that a world parallel to a 4D universe can be 1-A as long as the relationship between them fulfills the criteria for QS by being more real and being inaccessible/unreachable.
Additionally, Reality Equalization cannot apply to virtual worlds that exist parallelly to the real world, as those are simply alternate universes, not lower of planes of reality.
You'd need a large portion of the storyline to focus on the Storyworlds, yeah. As said on the page:Do we need a perspective from inside a story world/narrative world to fulfill this criterion of a story world being a baseline world?
Generally, Reality Equalization should only apply in cases of reality-fiction differences between two characters, as it gives a better approximation to real-world statistics than other types of layers of reality. These layers of reality also tend to be a lot more subjective in their powers rather than objective. Characters are only considered strong from a certain perspective.
The story should focus, in large part, on the virtual world in question. While it is not required for the entire verse to take place inside the virtual world, it should be major or recurrent enough to be considered too important to leave out entirely.
The moments of the story focused on the virtual world should preferably be from the perspective of the virtual characters. This is due to the fact that Reality Equalization bases itself around the perspective of the character, as such, if this perspective isn't used in the original fiction, it has little to no point to be featured in the character's page. Those cases should simply be rated as Tier 11 if they fit the previous criteria.
Frankly, going by this, even if the Storyworlds are prominent enough to be tiered normally, I suspect that it'd just mean both them and the Real World would be treated as the baseline, instead of the baseline being the Storyworlds (Making the Real World 1-A) or the Real World (Making the Storyworlds 11-C)
Putting the Infinite Abyss stuff for later at the moment, as said. But honestly, as I see it, the Storyworlds are just 11-C.If so, what is your stance on the cosmology so far?
