I don't really know where to begin with this, but they should be re-upgraded to Tier 1-A. The reason for this is that the structure of the Manifoldverse is based off of Tegmark's 4 Multiverse types, particularly Type IV; I've since come to the understanding that a Type IV Tegmark Multiverse in fact contains all possible mathematical permutations, and views all possible mathematical objects as real, including abstract "Platonic," ones that are aspatial and atemporal. For this reason, due to transcending this hierarchy, they would also transcend all logical and modal concepts which can be described through axiomatic math, and thus basically require a 1-A rating. Again, I was the one who had them downgraded, but at this point, after learning more about the subject matter, I think it is imperative they be reupgraded.
From the text in the above link: "As a way out of this conundrum, I have suggested that complete mathematical symmetry holds: that all mathematical structures exist physically as well. Every mathematical structure corresponds to a parallel universe. The elements of this multiverse do not reside in the same space but exist outside of space and time. Most of them are probably devoid of observers. This hypothesis can be viewed as a form of radical Platonism, asserting that the mathematical structures in Plato's realm of ideas or the "mindscape" of mathematician Rudy Rucker of San Jose State University exist in a physical sense. It is akin to what cosmologist John D. Barrow of the University of Cambridge refers to as "" in the sky," what the late Harvard University philosopher Robert Nozick called the principle of fecundity and what the late Princeton philosopher David K. Lewis called modal realism. Level IV brings closure to the hierarchy of multiverses, because any self-consistent fundamental physical theory can be phrased as some kind of mathematical structure."
Also, I would argue that the fundamental logic I used to provide reasoning for them not being strictly 1-A before is flawed on a basic level, as transcending space and time and their necessity, especially when infinitely-infinite dimensions are acccounted for mathematically, and indeed within a Type III multiverse, let alone a type IV, is illogical.
