Well, I still find it strange to make a second page that says the exact same stuff as the section we added to the Tiering System FAQ, instead of just linking to the Tiering System FAQ. It's just needlessly redundant.
That's basically what the Guidelines section is.
The Qualification section has problems.
One of the most straightforward ways of meeting this requirement is for the concept of a "Space-time continuum" to be explicitly stated
is fine
- It should be recognized that physical travel between universes is not feasible unless through the use of a portal or similar mechanism. This is because it is impossible for two distinct space-time continuums to occupy the same physical space without the presence of a higher dimensional space serving as a separator. In other words, two separate space-time continuums may coexist in the same physical space if the space between them is of a 4-D or 5-D dimension, or higher. Therefore, in order to physically travel between universes, the space between them must be of a higher dimensional space. To summarize, in order for a verse to qualify for the tier 2 classification regarding traveling between universes, there must be:
- An evidence of a larger space that encompasses all the universes or space-times
- And proof that this space is of a higher dimensional nature.
Is neither a sufficient nor necessary qualification for something to be a timeline. This might be relevant for determining if something is a universe, but we are talking about timelines here. Honestly, for a section about spacetime, I would assume that the user has already determined whether their spaces are universes and go from there.
The concept of a "different dimension" should not be automatically assumed to indicate spatio-temporal separation as not all dimensions or universes necessarily meet this criterion without further clarification.
That's again stuff that the universe page talks about. It's not a timeline issue. It's a purely spatial consideration.
- Time Travel:When considering "dimensions" or "universes", it is important to keep in mind that time travel should not be possible between them. Interfering with the time in one timeline should not have an effect on another timeline, as this would indicate a lack of separation.
- However, there are exceptions to this rule. Some verses may have a concept of "meta-time" that allows for such oddities, though nevertheless it is important to note that these still constitute mere exceptions and not the general norm, and evidence is required to support the claim that a higher form of time is at play.
I have no idea where that random criteria comes from or why it would be true. If I have branching timelines, getting form one to another via time travel is perfectly plausible. And since timelines usually share the same time dimension, a time stop technically affecting both timelines is not per se implausible (even if rare). So I don't see why it would be taken as a contradiction.
It is widely acknowledged that the existence of a dimensional wall serves as a delimiter between various dimensions.
What's a delimiter?
However, it is important to note that the presence of this barrier does not necessarily indicate a complete spatio-temporal separation between the dimensions in question, as defined by not occupying any points in time and space. Instead, the presence of this dividing wall simply serves to distinguish between the dimensions, even if they share a common time axis. Without the presence of this wall, the dimensions would be indistinguishable and would no longer be considered separate.
"Share a common time axis" is a bad formulation, as timelines may share the same time axis, as in time dimensions. Besides that the stentiment is ok, though. Although, we might want to avoid the use of the word "dimension" in this context. We usually mean mathematical dimensions when we bring the up and stuff. "Realm" or something might be better.
- If you have two 3-dimensional universes separated by a 4-dimensional gap, they would be spatially separated but temporally connected due to the addition of a temporal axis that encompasses the entire system.
It sounds unclear what that means in regard to tiering. What "temporally connected" means is not clear either.
