TenSura LN Major Misleading Revision - Part 1

Status
Not open for further replies.
Veldanava is described as a monad which supports the point.
It doesn't?
Also can see where this existence and non existent scan comes from?
From what I see non existent stuff in cosmology blog seems like a Void Manipulation. How that is considered as a existential status?
 
minus the fictional entity part[because that's promised land stuff that I agree with removing], "his vague statements" isn't really an argument.
"I don't really see how any of that supports the NEP" except, that's your own problem not seeing it. If you think its not within the standards, I already quoted a staff for you regarding that earlier, dk why you left it.
It's more like only supporters seeing NEP without non existent statement. Not my problem.
Quoting the NEP page itself:

Encompassing both existence and nonexistence while lacking the distinction between them is enough for NEP2, backed up by Elizhaa's quote.
Don't really care about this back and forth.
Prove the non existent stuff is a part of Velda's existence first.
Whereas you never addressed what Elizhaa said, other then saying "he was mislead" and that "the scan is nothing related to nonexistence" but didn't even care to argue against the supporting argument provided by staff. So no, that's not "I've already addressed it".
I was talking about OP misleading Elizha. So Elizha giving input based on his perception because of previous threads still getting mislead by OP.
I'm not talking "lacking nothing" as an argument for Nonexistence, mind you, I merely said Derek doesn't understand the full reasoning behind the NEP2 rating.
It was the scan found in profile and Mizuki used that so Dereck isn't one who is in wrong
The cosmology page... [the great spirit section specifically]
The whole "duality of existence and nonexistence" is a part of the cosmology.
Checked the links where this scans specifically mentioned? Only light and darkness attributes I see there

Non existent stuff looks like magic abilities which manipulates void nothing related to what you claimed.
 
If the duality of existence and non existence was accepted in the verse and velda has nonduality in relation to this ,then i disagree with the removal of nep 2
But count me as agreed with the removal of nep 1 and 3
I only see light and darkness as dualities in the verse don't see existence and non existent being a duality.

If this wank already accepted I'll create a downgrade thread for that first and we can continue this later. Because cosmology blog which supporters linked shows no scans to support that. Unless I missed something.

All I saw was Void Manipulation from Darkness attributes that's all.
 
Last comment about this topic, the concern about that thread is scalling not about duality not to mention it only have 2 staff agreement, you need minimal 3 staff for apply something like nonduality duality CM and anything like that
In cases where the series verse has a significant following or a large amount of material has been published based on its content, it may be necessary to seek approval from a minimum of three staff members to ensure that all relevant parties are aware of and agree with the proposed revisions (Examples: Naruto, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Dragon Ball, Devil May Cry, God of War, One Piece, Bleach).
3 staff agreements are for those with a "large source material", that doesn't apply to that CRT, because it's just about which character scales to which cosmological construct, with the only few additional things that the OP also highlighted. The whole "large source material" was instead the one where the tier 1 was approved to begin with, which does have 3 staff approvals.
I don't remember tensura having an extremely large amount of source material either.

Also, while it's not 3 staff in the same CRT, technically, Derek never disagreed with Nonduality for Veldanava in this old CRT, so counting Elizhaa's and DDM's current agreements as well, that would indeed make a total of 3 staff having agreements or "have no trouble with it",

Tho I don't really want to argue with an argument like this[regarding my second para], but that's my only option since I never participated in those Veldanava or cosmology revisions myself at the time.
(and i know the duality part are already there in the previous cosmology page before even the thread exist, you guys added it without any thread)
I don't see any point in bringing that against me when I didn't even participate in those threads, nor was I active in those days [if my memory serves correctly], so mind you, count me out of the "you guys".
It's more like only supporters seeing NEP without non existent statement. Not my problem.
Once again, not an argument. You aren't addressing anything related to the scan itself other then "its vague statements".
For context, Ultima_Reality had no problem with those statements indicating a sort of Oneness previously, so no, they aren't "vague".
But, regardless, here's other scans of God being All-encompassing,
Don't really care about this back and forth.
Prove the non existent stuff is a part of Velda's existence first.
"Nonexistence" is the Great Spirit of Darkness. Quoting the cosmology page
God being all-in-one and one-in-all, and all-encompassing, by itself proves everything[the entire cosmology] is a part of his being. Said cosmology itself [minus the subspace] was created by Veldanava[True dragon key], with God being above even that.
I was talking about OP misleading Elizha. So Elizha giving input based on his perception because of previous threads still getting mislead by OP.
And I never argued that the OP didn't do so. My argument is how Elizhaa stated that NEP2 can be derived from Veldanava's Nonduality.
It was the scan found in profile and Mizuki used that so Dereck isn't one who is in wrong
Valid I suppose, can't say anything to that since I wasn't involved myself.
Checked the links where this scans specifically mentioned? Only light and darkness attributes I see there

Non existent stuff looks like magic abilities which manipulates void nothing related to what you claimed.
Void is nonexistence...
Their void manipulation is via them manipulating the "Darkness of Hell", and on a larger scale, also the great spirit of darkness [which is part of the governing laws/concepts of the world that magic users manipulate], darkness here is nonexistence/void
Quoting the nonduality page
For this ability, dualities refer to logical dualities where the duality is between "A" and "not A" where A is some object or attribute. For example, fire and water are not a duality; the duality of fire would be fire and not fire. The duality of existence would be existence and not existence, or, alternately, existence and nonexistence or existence and void.
And even the void manipulation page
Void Manipulation, also known as Nothingness Manipulation is the ability to control and manipulate a void: nothingness or non-existence.

Conversion to Nonexistence: The user of this ability might be capable of turning targets to nothing. This can range from only turning the matter of the target to nothing to also turning things like its energy, mind, soul, space, time and/or concept to nothing. Note that most users of this ability have not the full range of the ability. Further note that one shouldn't list a character to have resistance against this ability in total, as that requires a character to have shown resistance against every imaginable ability which can erase a target.
I wonder why people only tend to focus on the part of the definition pages that support their argument and not the ones that negate it.

What I found in the cosmology blog seems to focus on abilities instead of dualities. Having void manipulation as an ability doesn't implies that the character's existence itself is non-existent, unless there is another scan or context I’m missing. You’re free to explain it to me; I’m listening.
The main focus on abilities related to void manipulation is that all magic and skills in Tensura are essentially based on manipulating the laws of the world. The Great Spirit of Darkness, which embodies the concept of darkness and all the laws related to darkness, is only one part of the Laws of the World.

Ultima's dark magic/nihility magic summons nothingness from hell. Hell is also known as the forbidden void. Gadra's nihilistic parade, which is an AoE attack version of the same ability, works with the same logic. So, with the magic that manipulates the dark attribute, can also manipulate nothingness. Hell/Underworld is the place of all other demons along with the seven primordial demons derived from the great spirit of darkness. Therefore nothingness originates from the Great Spirit of Darkness. For this reason, it is thought that the great spirits of light (non-dark) and darkness (non-light) embody the duality of existence and non-existence.

That's all.
 
Generally, I don't try to comment much on a CRT, but I will try to comment, and maybe even answer my questions here.

The first one basically talks about how Veldavana is the strongest in the "food chain", so it's not exactly important to prove that Veldavana is everything.
The second is heading in the right direction, but it lacks context and meaning, Veldavana is not even being mentioned. What exactly is the proof that you are talking about the entire existence of cosmology (including the Promised Land)? And context is needed to know exactly what is happening and what exactly Michael is talking about, or whether this "encompassment" is being a literal embrace of existence and not just something sentimental.
The third quote about Veldavana being absolute (I think?), but how does this serve to show that he encompasses everything and nothing? And that he has a non-existent aspect?

Great Spirit of Darkness: Darkness defines Evil[33], Negativity[31] (Non-existence[34]; Darkness[32]; Nihility[31]), Annihilation[31], Corruption, Demonic, Sin, Yin[29] (Wrath, Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Greed, Envy[29]), and much more. It is the source of Demons[32].
It's being cited about non-existence, but where exactly is the proof that the existence of a specific darkness spell that invokes non-existence proves that the Great Spirit of Darkness is non-existent? It is only being shown that there is a darkness spell that invokes non-existence, nothing that mentions that the Great Spirit of Darkness IS non-existence, which is seriously need to prove that: Veldavana (defines and is everything)>>>>> > Great Spirit of Darkness (defines and IS non-existence) = non-existence
There is no proof of the Spirit of Darkness being non-existent (or being non-existence itself), only that there is a dark magic that invokes non-existence.

I agree with removing NEP Nature 1 and 3 but not 2. NEP 2 does not require being non-existent but in a state that is neither existent nor non-existent. Encompasses existent and non-existent while lacking any distinction should place it in a state where it is neither existent nor non-existent so it should qualify for NEP 2.
This is false
NEP is specifically for characters who are nonexistent
NEP type 2 is for someone that transcends both notion of existence and nonexistence and acts as if it doesn't exist
it is possible to transcends existence and nonexistence while being existent and they wouldn't be able to interact with someone who doesn't exist in that level
 
What I said literally came from the standard. A character does not necessarily have to be declared non-existent to receive NEP 2 since it will be classified in NEP 1 directly. What you show clearly explains that it must be neither 1 nor 0.
Bruh the first sentence in NEP 2 literally say "the character DOESN'T EXIST", it also supported with another sentence that say "Characters of this type HAVE to behave AT LEAST AS NONEXISTENCE as those with Material Nonexistence"

You literally just cherry picking the explanation, if you read all the explanation it literally say nonexistence that is neither existence nor nonexistence, even elizha admit it and say it was nondual/transdual NONEXISTENCE

It was not just a random state, it is nonexistence state, it literally why this ability called the nonexistence physiology
 
Also, while it's not 3 staff in the same CRT, technically, Derek never disagreed with Nonduality for Veldanava in this old CRT, so counting Elizhaa's and DDM's current agreements as well, that would indeed make a total of 3 staff having agreements or "have no trouble with it",
No, that not how it work, just because Dereck did not comment anymore doesn't mean he is fine or have no trouble with the thread, seriously what the hell. By this logic i could just make a CRT and after a while claim that since no staff comment mean every staff is fine or have no trouble with my thread
And even the void manipulation page
Just because you can manipulate a void doesn't make you literal void, you need back up evidence, quoting the page mean absolute nothing, power & abilities are varies between verses which we evaluate them depend on how the verse showcase them
 
The first one basically talks about how Veldavana is the strongest in the "food chain", so it's not exactly important to prove that Veldavana is everything.
It's just for "Veldanava existing before everything", take it as supporting evidence
The second is heading in the right direction, but it lacks context and meaning, Veldavana is not even being mentioned. What exactly is the proof that you are talking about the entire existence of cosmology (including the Promised Land)? And context is needed to know exactly what is happening and what exactly Michael is talking about, or whether this "encompassment" is being a literal embrace of existence and not just something sentimental.
Notice the "everything has here, and he himself felt becoming a part of it", those things are indication of it referring to God.
Plus this scan supports it too. The only thing mentioned as "All-encompassing" in any other context that isn't something like "love is all-encompassing" is God, again, with the "Where all was one and one was all" part.
"harmonious plan" has the kanji is "予定調和", which is also specifically a philosophical theory including a monadic God and how everything moves according to how God wants it or has fated it to do so.
Additionally, the whole plan part is supported by the fact that everything goes according to God's will
The third quote about Veldavana being absolute (I think?), but how does this serve to show that he encompasses everything and nothing? And that he has a non-existent aspect?
That scan was just a few paras below the "Where all was one and one was alL" scan in Volume 16, so concluding that it's referring to God's omnipresent or Monadic nature is relatively simple.
And it's not about just being "Absolute", but about being the "Absolute Oneness"
It's being cited about non-existence, but where exactly is the proof that the existence of a specific darkness spell that invokes non-existence proves that the Great Spirit of Darkness is non-existent?
Read the Cosmology Page. The Great Spirits are the governing laws/concept of reality that govern everything within their field of scope. "Magic" in general is for manipulating those laws, so "Darkness magic that manipulates darkness" is easily concludable to "Magic that manipulates the law of darkness".
I just you read the magic and skills page for that. Darkness Magic [which manipulates said hell] is ultimately derived from the GS of darkness.
Or even proof that it DEFINES and is non-existence?
Quoting the cosmology page
It is only being shown that there is a darkness spell that invokes non-existence, nothing that mentions that the Great Spirit of Darkness DEFINE or BE non-existence, which I seriously need to prove that: Veldavana (defines and is everything)>>>>> > Great Spirit of Darkness (defines and IS non-existence) = non-existence
So there you go, the above that I mentioned should be enough to conclude that
 
Just because you can manipulate a void doesn't make you literal void, you need back up evidence, quoting the page mean absolute nothing, power & abilities are varies between verses which we evaluate them depend on how the verse showcase them
Where did I say that... 😭
They're manipulating a "Void" that's a part of the cosmology...
God encompasses it via encompassing the entire cosmology
A "void" via definition itself refers to nonexistence unless clarified otherwise, powers and abilities may vary between verses but that does not change what is defined within the definition page itself.
 
No, that not how it work, just because Dereck did not comment anymore doesn't mean he is fine or have no trouble with the thread, seriously what the hell. By this logic i could just make a CRT and after a while claim that since no staff comment mean every staff is fine or have no trouble with my thread
I didn't say he was fine with the thread itself, I was explicitly only referring to the ND part.
Given how Derek had no problem with using analogies involving God's ND to explain how he's still not acausal type 5, I don't see how he's not fine with it if he's literally using it in his analogy
That would be enough for the old standards, but for the new ones it is not, heck, even if you were transdual about your causality system you would not qualify unless you had concrete evidence that you are not interactable because you somehow transcend causality, not because of anything else like e.g. ND, NEP, AE, omniprecense, etc.

Check this thread to understand what i'm talking about.
Before you say "he may be referring to those in general", the thread itself explicitly proposed those exact abilities for God.
Anyways, the best way to solve this part of the debate is to wait for derek himself, so I'll leave it at that and wait for him to have his say regarding this specific part.

So, what is the scan that show this supposed void, because from all that was show earlier is just talking about some abilities with Darkness Attribute

Your own word
 
Your own word
Indeed, but in my own words, I never said "derek never disagreed with the thread", I said "he never disagreed with Nonduality", there's a clear difference between both.
So, what is the scan that show this supposed void, because from all that was show earlier is just talking about some abilities with Darkness Attribute
Man, how many times do I have to quote the exact same part of the cosmology page...
 
It's just for "Veldanava existing before everything", take it as supporting evidence
Ok

You need at least the context of this scene before stating something, you can't say one thing and say another without at least supporting evidence.
This scan has been mentioned before, but most people (including me) interpret this scan differently.
This only supports that he basically controls destiny, not that he is everything.

From my point of view, there is still not enough context from the scan, there is no proof of a correlation between the scans, let alone a direct statement about Veldavan being and encompassing everything.
That scan was just a few paras below the "Where all was one and one was alL" scan in Volume 16, so concluding that it's referring to God's omnipresent or Monadic nature is relatively simple.
And it's not about just being "Absolute", but about being the "Absolute Oneness"
But that doesn't mean it's comprehensive, just that it's absolute compared to anything else.

I read the page, but how does this prove some non-existent aspect to the Spirit of Darkness, or even that it IS non-existence itself? I saw the scan saying he rules darkness, but I didn't see scan saying he rules non-existence or that he rules all aspects of darkness spells.

For example: If a darkness spell summons a plant, it governs plants (not literal, just an example).
^^^^^^^^
There is no evidence for such a thing.
Quoting the cosmology page
There is proof that a magic with the darkness attribute invokes the void, but there is no proof that the Great Spirit of Darkness is the void itself, incorporates the void, that its existence is the void, or that "Grand Spirit do Darkness = darkness = emptiness", and much less than what I said previously:
For example: If a darkness spell summons a plant, it governs plants (not literal, just an example).

There is no evidence for such a thing.

Ultima's dark magic/nihility magic summons nothingness from hell. Hell is also known as the forbidden void. Gadra's nihilistic parade, which is an AoE attack version of the same ability, works with the same logic. So, with the magic that manipulates the dark attribute, can also manipulate nothingness. Hell/Underworld is the place of all other demons along with the seven primordial demons derived from the great spirit of darkness. Therefore nothingness originates from the Great Spirit of Darkness. For this reason, it is thought that the great spirits of light (non-dark) and darkness (non-light) embody the duality of existence and non-existence.

That's all.
Following this, Hell does seem to be a void, if by some means we equate the Great Spirit of darkness responsible for this to be nonexistent as well, it's iffy if the Great Spirit of light can automatically be assumed to represent existence with no direct mention (weird that was left out when they're meant to be opposites).
Let's take the Spirit of Light to be existence and Spirit of Darkness to be nonexistence. Veldanava even without relying on these spirits would still encompass nonexistence by virtue of being "all in one and one in all". The issue is that with ND, this statement only gives us "oneness" i.e. he is both existence and nonexistence which is NEP 1 & 3 not NEP 2 unless I missed something stating he is neither.

Further issues arrive when you consider Velda might very well just be a box encompassing existence and nonexistence which doesn't make him neither of those thigs, it doesn't even make him strictly nonexistence as containing a void doesn't make you/ all of you said void. There's also the fact that these characters are meant to be portrayed as actual nonexistence if we are to go strictly by the page's definition.

Overall, there's grounds for NEP 1, 2, 3 via non-duality but NEP 1 requires him to be portrayed as actual nonexistence and not just containing it and NEP 2 requires him to not just be both of these things but neither of them.

That's all I have to say on the matter.
 
You need at least the context of this scene before stating something, you can't say one thing and say another without at least supporting evidence.
For the all-encompassing completeness? That's the whole part of the pov. It was a short indirect Michael pov after Rimuru defeated him. Rimuru disintegrated Michael and erased his being, while absorbing his parts other then his consciousness. The consciousness that was left as is returned to God, its original source[and the source of everything].
This scan has been mentioned before, but most people (including me) interpret this scan differently.
This only supports that he basically controls destiny, not that he is everything.
The destiny related part is another line, him being everything is another. Two different lines that mean two different things yet are linked to the nature of the same being. So while your interpretation of it being related to destiny is not invalid, the "not that he is everything" is invalid.
From my point of view, there is still not enough context from the scan, there is no proof of a correlation between the scans, let alone a direct statement about Veldavan being and encompassing everything.
I very clearly explained the co-relation for you, and you didn't address any of it.
Notice the "everything has here, and he himself felt becoming a part of it", those things are indication of it referring to God.
Plus this scan supports it too. The only thing mentioned as "All-encompassing" in any other context that isn't something like "love is all-encompassing" is God, again, with the "Where all was one and one was all" part.

But that doesn't mean it's comprehensive, just that it's absolute compared to anything else.
That's your own interpretation that doesn't take in the word "oneness" and what it means.
In the link itself, I also explained the Kanji
Kanji for "Absolute Oneness"
  • 全 -> All/Entire/Whole (of something)/Omni-/Absolute
  • なる -> To become/was (in context, it would be "To Unite into" or "in")
  • 一 -> One
I read the page, but how does this prove some non-existent aspect to the Spirit of Darkness, or even that it IS non-existence itself? I saw the scan saying he rules darkness, but I didn't see scan saying he rules non-existence or that he rules all aspects of darkness spells.
Argument from ignorance, I already answered what you asked
The Great Spirits are the governing laws/concept of reality that govern everything within their field of scope. "Magic" in general is for manipulating those laws, so "Darkness magic that manipulates darkness" is easily concludable to "Magic that manipulates the law of darkness".

Darkness is the same thing as "Nonexistence" or Void in-verse.
At this point, I'm wondering why everyone is not taking the whole of the scans into context and just a specific part of it.
Key/direct mentions: "Void", "Fangs of Darkness", "it was the forbidden dark magic art, the manipulation of the forbidden void", "Nihiliy magic in particular had the characteristic of invoking the void of hell".
An additional supporting evidence, Guy is called the embodiment of darkness[which is void/nonexistence]. yet Demons and Angels[guy is a demon] are ultimately derived from the great spirit of darkness[stated in the same scan].
For example: If a darkness spell summons a plant, it governs plants (not literal, just an example).
^^^^^^^^
There is no evidence for such a thing.
Except, the "magic that summons the void" is not the only statement here to support nonexistence and GS of darkness being that.
Also, technically, it's not exactly like that, but more like "Darkness magic that manipulates the law/concept of "Darkness"[Great Spirit of Darkness] to manipulate the void"
They're chilling, laughing at us with their gazillions of layered hax abilities. 🥲
So true xD
 
The main focus on abilities related to void manipulation is that all magic and skills in Tensura are essentially based on manipulating the laws of the world. The Great Spirit of Darkness, which embodies the concept of darkness and all the laws related to darkness, is only one part of the Laws of the World.
I agree with Void Manipulation with the statement I have seen. But disagree with Void Manipulation skill=existence logic which is used by other supporters to argue NEP type 2 here.
Ultima's dark magic/nihility magic summons nothingness from hell. Hell is also known as the forbidden void. Gadra's nihilistic parade, which is an AoE attack version of the same ability, works with the same logic. So, with the magic that manipulates the dark attribute, can also manipulate nothingness. Hell/Underworld is the place of all other demons along with the seven primordial demons derived from the great spirit of darkness.
So basically it's an assumption that Darkness summons that power so it's an part of dualities?
Hell/Underworld is an place which already existed I guess? Not created/gave birth by Darkness attributes later onwards?
Therefore nothingness originates from the Great Spirit of Darkness.
For this reason, it is thought that the great spirits of light (non-dark) and darkness (non-light) embody the duality of existence and non-existence.
Thanks for clarifying. Definitely disagree with this logic and using this to argue dualities when there is no solid proof for that istead only assumption is based on they originate from light and darkness attributes.
 
I guess the only thing my OP didn't cover was the Great Spirit of Darkness and the assumption of a non-existent void created by darkness falling under some duality. I'll add my argument to the OP and call on some staff members later. If there’s nothing else to discuss, even if someone assumes the void summoned by darkness attributes is encompassed by Velda, it doesn’t grant Velda NEP Type 2. At best, it would be limited to NEP Type 1. I don’t really see any duality here.

You haven't prof this.
And the part that I put in bold was never stated, they are not LN words.
Darkness is the same thing as "Nonexistence" or Void in-verse.
At this point, I'm wondering why everyone is not taking the whole of the scans into context and just a specific part of it.
Literally none of this is said, it's just said about a darkness spell that invokes the void, which is completely different from darkness = void.
Key/direct mentions: "Void", "Fangs of Darkness", "it was the forbidden dark magic art, the manipulation of the forbidden void", "Nihiliy magic in particular had the characteristic of invoking the void of hell".
An additional supporting evidence, Guy is called the embodiment of darkness[which is void/nonexistence]. yet Demons and Angels[guy is a demon] are ultimately derived from the great spirit of darkness[stated in the same scan].
Just the fact that it is a SUMMONING magic that SUMMONS THE VOID FROM A PLACE is something that supports my point, there is nothing saying that darkness = void, quite the opposite, a summoning magic that invokes something from a realm proves that summoning magic is not the void itself.
If a summoning spell is used to summon a being of light from a random place, then is the summoning spell the light itself? This is simply fallacy.
Except, the "magic that summons the void" is not the only statement here to support nonexistence and GS of darkness being that.
Also, technically, it's not exactly like that, but more like "Darkness magic that manipulates the law/concept of "Darkness"[Great Spirit of Darkness] to manipulate the void"
The fact that a darkness spell needs to invoke the void of a place to use the void already shows that clearly darkness ≠ void.

The statement itself says that the magic INVOKES the void of the Demon realm, not that it IS the void.


The only mention of a correlation between darkness and void, says that a specific spell is capable of INVOKING the void from a LOCATION, clearly it has NOTHING to do with void = darkness;
The Tensura wiki itself treats the spell as simply a summoning spell, a summoning spell that invokes the void, not that it is the void itself;
Just the fact that it is necessary for the magic of darkness to INVOKE the void FROM A PLACE already demonstrates that void ≠ darkness, if both were the same thing, it would not be necessary for a spell to invoke the void to use the void, since the darkness in itself would be the same thing as the void (it would have a non-existent appearance).

Also can see where this existence and non existent scan comes from?
From what I see non existent stuff in cosmology blog seems like a Void Manipulation. How that is considered as a existential status?
Not Void Manipulation. A Void of Nothingness.
Veldanava is not a monad
Bruh.
This is false
NEP is specifically for characters who are nonexistent
NEP type 2 is for someone that transcends both notion of existence and nonexistence and acts as if it doesn't exist
it is possible to transcends existence and nonexistence while being existent and they wouldn't be able to interact with someone who doesn't exist in that level
I think you missed something. I said lacked distinction (quality I mean). You can't lack quality between the existent and the non-existent and still be existent.
Bruh the first sentence in NEP 2 literally say "the character DOESN'T EXIST", it also supported with another sentence that say "Characters of this type HAVE to behave AT LEAST AS NONEXISTENCE as those with Material Nonexistence"

You literally just cherry picking the explanation, if you read all the explanation it literally say nonexistence that is neither existence nor nonexistence, even elizha admit it and say it was nondual/transdual NONEXISTENCE

It was not just a random state, it is nonexistence state, it literally why this ability called the nonexistence physiology
Uh, with what you're saying, it's necessary that the character be said not to exist and that he has NEP 1 to have NEP 2.
Hell/Underworld is an place which already existed I guess? Not created/gave birth by Darkness attributes later onwards?
It is a world created thanks to Great Spirit of Darkness where demons are born which are also born from Great Spirit of Darkness.
 
I think you missed something. I said lacked distinction. You can't lack distinction between the existent and the non-existent and still be existent.
You can.
in the binary value you can be -1 or 2
you are still distinct but if you do not exhibit a trait more so of nonexistence then you don't qualify. As there is a state called lacking even substance that is beyond even the binary of existence and nonexistence
Nep nature Type 2 aims to be true nonexistence but that is completely impossible to prove in fiction
 
Following this, Hell does seem to be a void, if by some means we equate the Great Spirit of darkness responsible for this to be nonexistent as well, it's iffy if the Great Spirit of light can automatically be assumed to represent existence with no direct mention (weird that was left out when they're meant to be opposites).
Let's take the Spirit of Light to be existence and Spirit of Darkness to be nonexistence. Veldanava even without relying on these spirits would still encompass nonexistence by virtue of being "all in one and one in all". The issue is that with ND, this statement only gives us "oneness" i.e. he is both existence and nonexistence which is NEP 1 & 3 not NEP 2 unless I missed something stating he is neither.

Further issues arrive when you consider Velda might very well just be a box encompassing existence and nonexistence which doesn't make him neither of those thigs, it doesn't even make him strictly nonexistence as containing a void doesn't make you/ all of you said void. There's also the fact that these characters are meant to be portrayed as actual nonexistence if we are to go strictly by the page's definition.

Overall, there's grounds for NEP 1, 2, 3 via non-duality but NEP 1 requires him to be portrayed as actual nonexistence and not just containing it and NEP 2 requires him to not just be both of these things but neither of them.

That's all I have to say on the matter.
It doesn't.
If the great attribute of darkness symbolizes non existence and the great attribute of light symbolizes existence ,the fact that veldanava predated both means that he was neither existent nor non existent

And if he is encompassing both that means is he encompasses both existence and non existence.

If these two attributes were stated to be dualities ,its only logical that the attribute of light would symbolize existence if darkness symbolized non existence
 
Since it was created thanks to Great Spirit of Drakness that means it was created after the birth of Veldanava (the avatar).
So here every supporter of NEP type 2 is arguing despite it was created after Velda gave up his omnipotent. Velda still encompassed this?

You know this just debunks all of those encompassing non existent stuff?

Yeah literally you contradict yourself at the end. I guess all NEP 2s have to be downgraded right? The NEP 2 page says the character is neither 1 nor 0 with 1 being existence and 0 being non-existence. If a character is already -1 or -2 then they are no longer part of the Dual system and so...

you missed one integral part
The character doesn't exist in a sense further beyond conventional nonexistence.
It is specifically about nonexistence
there is a reason it is called Idealistic nonexistence.
Because it is an idea that can be contradictory and only exists in an idea. In the same way Transduality Type 3 is a contradictory ability technobabble that idealistically exist

anyway, this is beside the point of the CRt so I will not pursue it further.

Nooo. This has already been addressed in the Tier 0 thread. Everything is part of God and Veldanava is just his avatar. Veldanava predates Great Spirit of Darkness and God predates them and encompasses everything.

It's not how duality are treated. Just because you born from abilities of one dualities doesn't mean whatever sub abilities born from it also falls under some dualities.
