Wow, this was truly my on the many, many incoherencies of the tiering system academia.
Well, it's a solid 40k above the next most viewed staff thread, so I'd say yes.Is that a lot?
Honest question.
Most views that a staff discussion has ever gotten.Is that a lot?
Honest question.
OPM discussion thread at 3 million views.What's the most viewed thread of all time?
1. OPM threadAnyone got a top 5 maybe?
There's no real rule. But i guess for another future tiering system, a specific one could be best, as we had over 76 pages for one specific topic.Are there going to be other separate commoner's threads for future Tiering System changes threads or should we go to the All Purpose Commoner's Thread for those?
More than any announcements thread, Q&A, versus thread, regular CRT, calc thread, or thread from our sister wikis.Is that a lot?
Honest question.
Oh, I was just curious what the plan was. Okay.There's no real rule. But i guess for another future tiering system, a specific one could be best, as we had over 76 pages for one specific topic.
3. Though one of those is very straightforward.@Ultima_Reality How many more threads do you have planned and when will you post them?
Tier 0 will be an interesting one.3. Though one of those is very straightforward.
I'll post the Tier 0 thread in the following days, probably.
Really? I thought it'd be at least 4 more, and probably more like 5.3. Though one of those is very straightforward.
I'll post the Tier 0 thread in the following days, probably.
Really? I thought it'd be at least 4 more, and probably more like 5.
- Tier 0 thread.
- Tier 2 thread (probably not).
- Which specific rearrangement of tier 11/1/0 to go with.
- How to rewrite the main pages (Tiering System and associates).
- How to rewrite all supplementary pages (could be merged with previous, speed, nonduality, resistance, etc).
- Thread to post CRTs when the changes get implemented.
Should we make a rule to freeze 1-A and 0 threads until these finish?I am not doing Tier 2 in these revisions. I'd merge 4 and 5. And I don't really count 6 as part of the active revisions, since it's moreso their aftermath.
Ngl Ultima winning and the future upgrade threads to come give me this type of vibe.
Considering the cases where the higher reality created the fictional reality, couldn't you argue that the power and ability for the lower reality being to interact with the higher reality was already baked in?Any "Reality-Fiction relationship" where the "fiction" interacts with the "reality" by itself or with technology, powers, or forces from their "fictional" world; whether it be travelling to it, ascending to it, viewing it, manipulating it, threatening to destroy, using it to rewrite your "fictional world", or anything else, is a massive anti-feat that almost definitely guarantees it won't be considered a true Reality-Fiction relationship.
Reality can interact with fiction, fiction can't interact with reality. This is a bedrock of the Reality-Fiction relationship.
Yeah, but this quickly leads you to not having this qualitative/quantitative distinction at all. So they'll just say that "If the lower reality is created in a way where it's able to do that, it's not actually qualitatively lower."Considering the cases where the higher reality created the fictional reality, couldn't you argue that the power and ability for the lower reality being to interact with the higher reality was already baked in?
The Lower reality was essentially created with the higher reality's power, so why couldn't the lower reality access that power within it's setting? Every aspect, law, physics, concept, and idea was created with that higher power, including the concept and ability of the lower reality interacting with the higher reality.
Might as well leave it up until the next thread's made.Should we close this thread?
There are several other threads that are going to be made following the direct conclusion of the change. IT's not necessarily done.Should we close this thread?
Which I would then ask, does the qualitive superiority come from the lack of interaction?Yeah, but this quickly leads you to not having this qualitative/quantitative distinction at all. So they'll just say that "If the lower reality is created in a way where it's able to do that, it's not actually qualitatively lower."
Depends entirely on what the ability in question is. I'd only apply the logic Agnaa outlined above if the interaction is in the form of "The fictional reality and its elements are able to reach out and influence the higher plane solely through their own physicality." If it's a "Such interaction is normally completely impossible, but every being in the lower world has the hidden metaphysical potential to raise higher," I have no issue with it.Considering the cases where the higher reality created the fictional reality, couldn't you argue that the power and ability for the lower reality being to interact with the higher reality was already baked in?

I'm pretty sure no one's budging an inch untill qualitative superiorty in the Tier Q&A gets changedShould we make a rule to freeze 1-A and 0 threads until these finish?
I think it kinda does. R>F is being generally indexed like that due to the view that simple quantitative extensions won't be able to reach it.Which I would then ask, does the qualitive superiority come from the lack of interaction?
So the difference between looney toon characters and Narnia characters?Depends entirely on what the ability in question is.

If it's a "Such interaction is normally completely impossible, but every being in the lower world has the hidden metaphysical potential to raise higher," I have no issue with it.
Then, I would say by that logic, only stories that maintain that lack of interaction completely should qualify. Any story where a character rises above, would violate that lack of interaction. (of course that would be extremely strict and not fun)I think it kinda does. R>F is being generally indexed like that due to the view that simple quantitative extensions won't be able to reach it.
Sorry to double post. But I guess a loop hole would be the higher reality, simply recreating the lower character in their reality.Then, I would say by that logic, only stories that maintain that lack of interaction completely should qualify. Any story where a character rises above, would violate that lack of interaction. (of course that would be extremely strict and not fun)
More like the difference between "This ability is something imbued into the fictional reality by the power of a higher being, and which is not co-equal to, but suffuses and empowers, certain substances in that reality" and "The fictional reality somehow, entirely on its own terms, developed the ability to interact with a higher ontological layer, without any input whatsoever from higher things."So the difference between looney toon characters and Narnia characters?
Not really the same case, no, since a higher layer being ontologically higher requires a structural discontinuity between the two. Interaction-based anti-feats are largely problematic because they imply that there is, in fact, continuity to be found between the realms.Also, going back to what was said by @Deagonx. IF a story says FTL is impossible and its characters aren't FTL, that doesn't mean a FTL character from another story will have their speed capped if they are placed in the first story.
I would argue the same would apply here, If a story says Lower beings cannot interact with the higher reality and its characters who are lower simply can't, that shouldn't mean a lower character from another story where they can interact with the higher reality, shouldn't be able to do so. No?
I agreeth with this statementh.Should we make a rule to freeze 1-A and 0 threads until these finish?
Honestly a good call, probably. Although I'd want others to weigh in on the matter as well.Should we make a rule to freeze 1-A and 0 threads until these finish?
This character sees a reality as immaterial and insubstantial from their higher perspective
You can stack this stuff just fine for whatever analogs exist in higher layers.How would this requirement work when there's an R>F between 2 non-physical worlds? Like some abstract, non physical world viewing another non-physical world as fiction?
Don't see why that would be an anti-feat. Sounds like the verse is just saying there's multiple kinds of imaginary structures.Also would it be considered an anti feat if theres a higher world that views the lower as imaginary and unreal, but some other distinct imaginary, unreal, and nonexistent things are not portrayed as not lesser than the higher world entities? Like a higher world views some lesser world as a fictional story but some of the (unrelated to the previously mentioned fictional story) dreams/imagined thoughts the characters in the higher world have are not lesser than them and the other residents of the higher world?
Sounds like the verse is just saying there's multiple kinds of imaginary structures.
Could be, yeah. Could also be a "Fictional works are ontologically lesser realities, but dreams/thoughts aren't." It's pretty weirdly specific, but has no problems to it, in principle.So in a verse with R>F, some imaginary/nonexistent stuff can not be lesser than the higher worlds while others are lesser without any issues to ontological superiority? Would it be like a "some unreal/nonexistent natures are lesser than reality/existence while others aren't" type of thing?
Lol noWith the new tiering system will the Elder Scrolls lose tier 0?
