Reality>Fiction with other applications

So as we all know, R>F is an automatic 1-A, since regardless of quantity and power, fiction cannot compare itself to reality, for its not quantitative but qualitative. But I've been wondering lately, if one were to somehow merge fiction and reality, or be able to transform reality into fiction, would both instances also be 1-A?

In the sense of the word or at least its etymology is taking things at their basic level of existence as not “real” hence “fiction” to a more “realer” reality in conjunction with it. So if we keep that in mind then your points should be resolved in the manners described:

If one were to merge reality and fiction, would that still count as 1-A?

The problem is that 1-A in this instance to maintain it would probably have to dissolve the nature of the lesser realm into having the properties it has which is prepositioned as being above reality(fiction) as a whole. So, there's some incoherency with this:
  • Something has to take the place of the “fiction” to establish the existence of where the 1-A is jumping from whatever baseline existence exists.
This is only resolved if you take that merged realm as a separate when they combined and the previous 1-A realm is the state in which it jumps or that the lesser realm remains as the point of contingency in which the jump is being referenced.

I don't think this has an actual plausible answer and it sounds nonsensical, if you ask me. You can lay some criteria and conditions for loopholes to explain the existence of it but it creates more contradiction and paradoxes. So, you can adhere to what I said in the condition of “how” it could happen or how it would even be possible but even then it creates more confusion and questions. Take it with a grain of pepper.

Can 1-A transform a realm of the real into a realm of fiction and does it discredit 1-A?

Now, I guess what I read from your question is could turning the reality that has R>F into the fiction in question be still considered 1-A?

Well…….no. The ontological existence of 1-A is predicated in precisely their nature or existence because they are more real or conceptually transcendent of the baseline level of reality or the core conception that makes up reality as not part of their beings. So if you transform that reality into fiction then we have to take into account that “transform” would mean altering the 1-A existence into fiction. This is possibly for a 1-A that's higher than a previous 1-A to turn them into fiction because they share the same ontological relationship as their being compared to the lesser being.

However, beings that are at baseline 1-A should not be able to do this and it does discredit 1-A. This is especially true if say a 1-A realm is sentient then he cannot just turn himself into a lesser degree in conjunction with the reality he transcends because he wouldn't be “1-A” at that point, which answers your question. He's not composed of the things that are in the lesser reality and if he truly did then he would be adding things that weren't and aren't supposed to be a part of it to maintain his existence as 1-A. So even if it were possible, it takes away from 1-A in as far as he couldn't do it and it shouldn't be possible.
