Well, it does fit the Supreme stick. Could very well be.Could Luminous Being become tier 0?
Exactly what I'm sayingThat's a pretty terrible justification, to be honest. The scan is obviously referencing his singular existence prior to anything else, that doesn't imply that he transcends dimensionality in any way.
I think it's the best example of it, from my knowledge on the character it's just the player themselves who manipulate all aspects of the game.Well, it does fit the Supreme stick. Could very well be.
Some eyes are on me and what I say. Best to ask Ultimate to confirm these.I think it's the best example of it, from my knowledge on the character it's just the player themselves who manipulate all aspects of the game.
If you have a thing X such that "X would exist if it weren't for these laws and rules," then that thing is automatically not a Monad, since the Monad cannot be subject to anything outside of itself, on account of its self-sufficiency and independence from anything at all. If it exists, it's something that necessarily exists. Which is to say, it exists by definition.
If it doesn't exist, it's not because "These laws and rules prevent it from existing." It simply... doesn't. That doesn't introduce any problems when it comes to comparing cosmologies.
This wouldn't mean that a soul couldn't be stronger than something in that verse or the verse itself, if we were drawing a comparison between two different works of fiction. If a story says its impossible to go faster than light, it does not mean that FTL characters get slowed down in match ups with characters from the no-FTL verse.For example, if a story states that souls cannot exist, then they simply don’t exist. Nothing in the story would become a soul if the rules were arbitrarily changed without arbitrarily adding a soul into the story.
Yeah that is, exactly, why it wouldn't ever be Tier 0.I think it's the best example of it, from my knowledge on the character it's just the player themselves who manipulate all aspects of the game.
I think what Deagon said already sufficiently answers this, though I'd note that, by then, what you're talking about aren't really "rules" of the verse, so much as brute facts about what does and doesn't exist in it. In that case, the "regular" cosmology of the verse where a Tier 0 exists and the verse where a Tier 0 doesn't exist are identical, and so the former can, of course, be compared to the latter. That's just a very basic principle of battleboarding as a whole and also goes for things happening in much lower tiers, too.It’s more like “X can’t exist because of these rules and laws”. For example, if a story states that souls cannot exist, then they simply don’t exist. Nothing in the story would become a soul if the rules were arbitrarily changed without arbitrarily adding a soul into the story.
My question is why is a cosmology with a monad “stronger” than a cosmology where a monad cannot exist?
Can you explain more?Yeah that is, exactly, why it wouldn't ever be Tier 0.
Was Narnia also mentioned?Lord of the Rings.
I did ask and Ultima is being very skeptical. I can't say it does but I also can't say it doesn't.Was Narnia also mentioned?
I'm pretty sure he's not against the idea that the Emperor is 0. I mean I really can't say but it's not impossible though that reasoning is not why.Don't see how LOTR would get tier 0 but Narnia does have the supreme being residing at the top of a reality heirarchy
Maybe a difference in presentation? Eru and the Ainur sit outside of everything while the Emperor sits at the top of his dimensional hierarchy. But then again, idk much about Narnia.Don't see how LOTR would get tier 0 but Narnia does have the supreme being residing at the top of a reality heirarchy
fullmetal alchemistAny other random or well know verses getting tier 0?
Fire Force?full metal alchemist
lol noFire Force?
well,then ask maitreyalol no
I'm not really in a position where my opinion is took as fact on the wiki (as in, the Sandman Universe is currently a part of the Carey/Gaiman verse and I can't really do anything about it).You mean Sandman rebooted the lore of Lucifer which you said isn't in the continuity with Carey’s Lucifer.
Where is that stated, though.Also, the Presence is already in Perfect Enlightenment. However, the Monks themselves “believe” that by destroying all forms of matter and undoing Creation that floats in the Void(his mind) that God finally has it. This was strictly what the Monks believed to be the case, not that God needed it to happen.
fullmetal alchemist
yesIs Truth in FMA/FMAB Tier 0 because Monad?
I always thought Fullmetal Alchemist was supposed to be an Hindu-like "All is One, One is All" cosmology. The wiki currently seems like it interprets Truth as like, a walking universe like Eternity or something, which doesn't seem very plausible from my (admittedly cursory) knowledge of the series.What makes Truth a monad?
That's what they “seek” to do. It's within the scan. How they view God does not mean it is. Monks believe in the Enlightenment and creation is already contained within his mind, so why would he want to destroy Creation? Would it be what the Monks want to do because they see the Universe as a distraction, not God.Where is that stated, though.
I was looking at the scans for it and the quotes from Truth seem to support it just like, literally being the personification of the universe itself. There might be other scans I haven't seen that make a stronger case for it, but I would be blown away if we gave it tier 0 just because a godly being said basically "I'm everything."I always thought Fullmetal Alchemist was supposed to be an Hindu-like "All is One, One is All" cosmology.

Oh rip.I was looking at the scans for it and the quotes from Truth seem to support it just like, literally being the personification of the universe itself.
Well, tell me your thoughts:Oh rip.
And the Gate has a diagram of the Kabbalah tree of life on it.I am what you would call "the world." I am "space." I am "God." I am the "truth." I am the "all." I am the "one." and I am "you."
Yeah I am kinda disappointed ngl.Well, tell me your thoughts:
And the Gate has a diagram of the Kabbalah tree of life on it.
I just feel like we should tread carefully about taking the stance that limited references to certain theological concepts should slingshot something to Tier 0. We've seen authors use various religious influences as accoutrements for mystique and scene-setting many times without adhering particularly closely to any of the actual details, so my hope is that we wouldn't say "Well, Truth says that it is the all and the one, just like a monad would be, so thats tier 0" just as I would hope we wouldn't say "Oh its the tree of life, so scale it to Kabbalah" or "oh they used the word omnipotent, tier 0" etc.
Wouldn't Ein Sof be 0?Yeah I am kinda disappointed ngl.
Ah well.
is the all and one truly not even enough for a possiblyYeah I am kinda disappointed ngl.
Ah well.
No.is the all and one truly not even enough for a possibly
its so over
Why?I know next to nothing about that branch, and it's not canon as a whole to the English version, which is the only one we're allowing on the site.
My argument's more that fiction typically doesn't operate by such strict rules of inaccessibility. So what we're actually doing is just equalising verses which never establish such things, but happen to not contradict it, to being far above verses that don't mention such concepts, or have them be contradicted.Of course, it isn't that logical to recognize a difference in existence/state/energy between two beings as not being comparable by numerical values while expressing that by giving it a numerical value. So dividing the tiers into physical values and metaphysical existence makes sense
DC goes for DeMatteis’ Gods, such as The Divine Presence & The Smile (The Smile I don’t have recollection of but I know The Divine Presence because I read Matteis’ Spectre comics)so will the marvel and dc cringe dudes become tier 0 as well?
Chinese SCP isn't translated.Last I remember (4 years ago), there was no issue with using translated articles from other branches.
Many articles are.Chinese SCP isn't translated.
