However it's not talking about any metaphysical concepts but rather ones described in idealism or nominalism. Take this excerpt from the CM page.
A.) That isn't all the evidence. Did you miss the part where Gojo states
Infinity exists as a concept independent of himself and that he manifests said concept into reality? That's quite literally our Concept type 2.
B.) Yes he is. Do you understand how Gojo's ability works? Using the exact scans you are referencing, there is no way you are coming to this conclusion, but we will explore this.
I'm gonna need you to substantiate your claim that this is in reference to idealism or nominalism because that's just blatantly untrue by our standards.
So it's all reliant on this scan which the scan itself debunks the notion of conceptual manipulation.
Because well when using the word concept it's talking about the opponents perception or idea of near and far elaborated with quotes such as this
It does not. In fact, if you didn't just skim through scans you would have seen that it's stated Gojo controls "the scale of distance" in reference to him "controlling the concept of near and far". In the same scan you are claiming "debunks the notion" we are given the example of placing items on a rule
r. What Gojo is doing is taking the ruler itself (space-time in this instance) and changing it's scale so that if you were resting on a regular ruler's inch line, after Gojo's manipulation, the inch mark would be one foot long. This dilation in space is possible because of Gojo's conceptual control over the scale of the concept of space in his infinity space.
Here is the
actual scan. The whole first paragraph preceding the comment about how Gojo is tweaking the concept of near and far discuss how he does so through phase strength. Phase strength is a purely mathematical construct used to determine how elements of a mathematical set will interact as the head toward infinity. Gojo's ability is literally changing the sets ability to either
converge (come together) or
diverge (split apart), meaning Gojo is clearly tweaking with the abstract elements of space and not just the physical elements of space time.
Right after concept is said it's then elaborated that it's talking about the opponents own feeling/perception of what near and far is. He is not manipulating any metaphysical concepts but rather the peoples own concept of what near and far is AKA a purely mental idea of near and far by manipulating space/distance.
This is also factually incorrect. Gojo's infinity space is it's own
infinite space that works via a special topography that uses completely different mathematical metrics to measure for it's topology, which is elaborated on in the same evidence shown in that thread.
It's blatantly obvious that Gojo's limitless can not function in regular space. More over, Gojo's control over limitless, red, blue, convergence, and divergence, is purely a mathematical construct. Convergence and divergent series discuss abstract elements of sets meeting in infinite series. That is the same concept that Gojo is tweaking to control the scale of distance and to power his natural infinity. These are purely mathematical constructs.
We also know this to be the case given what gojo states regarding his abilities in the HI arc
Gojo's ability can make abstract qualities such as
negative 1 a reality and also manifest physical aspects such as the case of negative 1 apples actually existing.
So Conceptual Manipulation should go.
It shouldn't. I'm also guessing you are trying to claim this because of Sukuna's slash, which is hilarious because Sukunas slash needing to be conceptual in order to even reach gojo is actually further supporting proof for concept manip for limitless.
