I don't think that's really what Ant meant. There is a difference between "Base a Tiering System wholly on these notions" and "Account for these notions in a way that doesn't lead to absurdities." If you asked anyone remotely educated on those matters whether an aspatial object can be "equivalent" to the volume of something spatial, the answer would of course be unequivocally "No." That hasn't much to do with how specific schools of spirituality or religion or whatever else model their cosmologies, so much as with how very elementary logic works.
My original comment was more into I am wary of “in this dogma, transcendence is described as being xyz” therfore in our system we will apply this idea as a metric for all fiction.
Allow for a question. Where would the real world in the Matrix be in your proposed system?Generally speaking, any instance of "qualitative superiority" in any verse will inevitably compare it to quantitative things, just by virtue of the fact literally every single verse in fiction has, as its basic setting, a reality like ours. So comparisions being made is non-negotiable. What kind of comparisons those must be is what's the subject of debate.
The simulation is obviously our real world counterpart as the film message is that the world we live isn’t the real world. Would the real world in Matrix be 1-A?
I would think so, because if an author can write a book and have that idea of the book contain a its own self-contained world . This should also apply to creating a self-contained world with a program.
