Basically a continuation of the conclusion of this thread
The current unwritten verse page lacks an explanation sect so this thread is centred around adding one
I've prepared a concise explanation covering all the relevant info that can be added in the verse page itself, this :
• EXPLANATION
• Leviathan H-1A Justification
Leviathan's current H-1A justification's 80% content is just explaining the HoS so if the above explanation is added we can refine the H-1A justification of Leviathan to this :
Also, maybe moving this :

I've prepared a concise explanation covering all the relevant info that can be added in the verse page itself, this :
• EXPLANATION
The world is only the aggregate of human perception, where different worlds have different fundamental working of reality/notions; such as with 'magic'
The hierarchy of stories is an endless (and infinite) hierarchy of stories stacked upon each other with no top or bottom where a world on a lower layer is fictional/dream to the world above it, the stories from upper layer are more real and more 'truer' described as "A truth that's beyond regular kind of truth" (1A+)
Note : There are also evidence of such worlds in the hierarchy which are not stacked but intertwined in a paradoxical nature where world A is fiction in world B and world B a fiction in world A, therefore both being qualitatively above each other while also simultaneously being as real and equal.
The staircase of worlds is an endless flight of stairs that extends through the world of stories. It was created by Wilson Taylor (through the power of Leviathan) to observe the world of stories
The world exists in two seperate pieces, one being the material world and the other the spiritual world in which each story contains three different spaces, the first is the Story Space which contains the physical reality of the story. The second space is the narrative channel, a domain of pure concept and is the source of the words/concepts that describes the world. Beyond these spaces exists The White-page, the ultimate non-being and anti-thesis of existence where words doesn't exist.
This much is pretty much already accepted on the wiki but apart from this there's something else I would like to discuss about :Beyond the Hierarchy of Stories is "The Ocean". It is a substrate which underlies and is responsible for the existence of the worlds of stories and where the Leviathan species live, They view the Hierarchy of Stories as a dream. The Leviathan species have an infinite regression where the whales above view the whales below as a dream with the final whale being the Mother of Leviathan. (H-1A)
Edit (result) :At the end of the series, it's revealed that the entirety discussed till now is also fiction to the plane of existence where Wilson resides (And Wilson becomes the writer of the unwritten)
Furthermore, we are indicated that even this plane of existence is just a story to the plane above and inductively this continues in an infinite series of reality-fiction hierarchy again.
Wilson's unwritten only includes the unwritten excluding the ocean and the cetacean Hierarchy as the ocean is a realm that underlies all fictional worlds (the hierarchy of stories) and becomes an indivisible organic substrate of everything in the fictional world (including story space and unwritten page) as stated by Mike Carey here and also because Leviathan is the source of all stories which includes Wilson's unwritten as well
• Leviathan H-1A Justification
Leviathan's current H-1A justification's 80% content is just explaining the HoS so if the above explanation is added we can refine the H-1A justification of Leviathan to this :
Reside qualitatively beyond the Hierarchy of Stories in "The Ocean". It is a substrate which underlies and is responsible for the existence of the worlds of stories and where the Leviathan species live. They view the Hierarchy of Stories as a dream. The Leviathan species have an infinite regression where the whales above view the whales below as a dream with the final whale being the Mother of Leviathan.
Also, maybe moving this :
From leviathan's profile to the verse page would be more appropriateNOTE : Despite being published by Vertigo comics, the Unwritten is a creator owned property and is not canonically part of the wider DC universe.
