Trinity Seven: None of the scans are working + Information Type 2 Issue

First of all most if not all of the scans in the verse don't even work. When you click on a scan link in Arata's profile, Imgur will just say, "The requested page could not be found."

I have an issue with information type 2
Because of the new information type 2 standards, this does not qualify anymore. You need proof that these characters can manipulate information, which serves as fundamental building block of reality.

Quoting DT from the thread
"Basically, the problem is supposed to be that the line "For some it might just be the mechanism behind mundane magical abilities" is taken to mean that things like programmable spells are considered Type 2 Info, without considering that "These characters can manipulate information, which serves as fundamental building block of reality" is a non-optional prerequisite that requires evidence, which would not come from program-like spells being a thing alone."

2. Fundamental: These characters can manipulate information that serves as a fundamental building block of reality. This information is shown to compose reality similar to how data underlies a video game world, code defines the rules of a simulation or in a fashion equally fundamental to these examples. This may allow characters to rewrite the world to their whims, often by programming it much like they would a virtual reality. The ability can come on many levels of potency. The possible uses range from being the mechanism behind mundane magical abilities to rewriting information to change reality, causality or the laws of nature.
