Can "twoness" problem be circumvented in a way, which still makes it possible for Tier 0s to fight without being in same place and getting disqualified? Like, one sitting in one verse and another in other, and they attacking each-other through verses? Or perhaps some other workaround.
Nope. The moment you try to make a situation where they are aware of and can interact with each other, you're essentially putting them in the same verse, existing "alongside" each other, which is incoherent on principle. Sorry buddy, I don't make the rules.
The only sensible workaround would probably be this:
There can, however, be distinction within Tier 0 if these distinctions don't introduce a variety of essences and substances in isolation and self-exclusion from each other. For example, if there are two characters A and B, and both are one and the same being/essence/substance, not being separate from each other even in their distinction. Bear in mind that such things must be stated to be the case, or at minimum have reasonable points of inference.
However this wouldn't be a true battle between Tier 0s as much as it would be a battle between different aspects of the same Tier 0. The Tier 0 would effectively be fighting itself, which, aside from being very bizarre, is also pointless since it would always end in a draw.
It should also be noted that Tier 0 does not "exist" in any "place", by virtue of transcending all differentiation:
By nature, a Tier 0 does not exist in dimensional space, not being circumscribed by any sort of numerical coordinate, nor taking up any sort of volume. Neither, for the matter, is it in a higher "meta-space," inasmuch as this still entails some notion (However disanalogous) of being in a specific location, apart from somewhere else, and thus a constricting particularity which must be transcended. In the truest sense, it is nowhere at all.
So you can't have them "sit" in different verses, since by their nature they don't "sit" anywhere.
There's also some issue with Attack Power and Durability. Question of "can Tier 0, when he doesn't want to be damaged, be damaged by Tier 0?" is essentially
Omnipotence Paradox. If Tier 0 can damage a Tier 0, then one getting damaged doesn't met the requirements of being a Tier 0; if Tier 0 can't damage a Tier 0, then one trying to damage doesn't met the requirements of being a Tier 0. As such, even if "two" Tier 0s fight without being "disqualified from Tier 0", then fight boils down into one of 2 scenarios:
- They can't damage each-other whatsoever - as such, both have no wincons, and fight ends as Inconclusive.
- They attack each-other at same time, both hits land simultaneously, they both die - fight ends as Inconclusive.
This question essentially boils down to "Can Tier 0 affect itself?" to which the answer is basically no.
It is of interest to note, also, that the same principle applies to the Tier
0 itself: Any effects that it can actualize are infinitely transcended by its nature, precisely in being
actualized and therefore contingent. Framing this argument in
classical language: Anything that can go from non-actualization to actualization is subject to an underlying potentiality. A Tier
0 is above and beyond all potentiality, and therefore cannot be subject to such processes.
And since fight seemingly can't end in anything but Inconclusive, it's prohibited due to being a variant of Stomp.
No, it's prohibited because such a thing is completely unintelligible by it's very nature:
Bluntly speaking, there cannot be multiple Tier 0 beings. Since it transcends all ontological divisions, it is not coherent to conceive of many Tier 0s separately existing "alongside" each other, so that one doesn't, so to speak, touch the other. This would entail that each of the beings in question is differentiated from the others by something it has, and the others don't, and vice-versa, which contradicts the premise of the tier to begin with. Since it is already not "a" being, much less can there be many beings of that same tier.
Finally, can we write that every Tier 0 has "Weakness: presence of other Tier 0 characters causes them to revert to their High 1-A+ state"?
No. You say that the presence of other Tier 0s is an absurd notion which should not even be thought about.
Tier 0 is not a "thing", or a "character", or an "entity". It is the source and foundation for the individual existence of any of those things to begin with. Just as the Platonic Form of "cat" is not itself a cat, the source of all multiplicity and individuality cannot itself be an individual object that is differentiated from everything else. Thinking of it this way is incorrect and incoherent. You can't have two Tier 0s because you technically can't even have one; because Tier 0 is not an individual, it is a category, the category of "thingness" itself, containing absolutely any and all individual things. "Two" Tier 0s would mean two
individual categories of individuality, which is utter nonsense.
