I'll get straight into it.

Rin: On the other hand, the laws of the Archival Space are different. Think of Archival Space as existing in the higher dimensions. From a higher dimension, 3D is like a flat fabric. Let's see...say the 3D world is a world written in a book, and jumping in it resulted in finding yourself outside of the book, okay? It becomes so that you are able to see from above your own past, present, future, in the form of records. This is the perspective of a higher dimension. Do you see? At that point, all time within the book becomes equal. After all, you can view any point in time you like, whenever you want. There's no past or future. It's the same as that. This place is imaginary number space, a higher-dimensional informational space formed by light.

So we have a very clear cut explanation prior that when Rin says BB has a higher dimensional perspective thanks to merging with the Moon Cell, she is actually talking about legitimate higher dimensions. From this we also know that who ever wrote this story actually does have an idea of how higher dimensions work, and its not just referring to Reality Marbles or timelines or whatever as dimensions.

Next, there's this bit about 8D barriers:

"BB :: However…The Moon Cell, you might say impudent, or that its defenses are flawless. Even though I managed to pass through the imaginary number space at the speed of light, a huge wall now stands before our devilish heroine BB-chan! It's a perfectly spherical spirit particle defense wall that cuts through eight dimensions. It looks like it'll be very hard to break down this wall. But this is the last move. After I break this wall into little pieces I'll have reached my goal. So I've left all of you in Meltlilith's care. The girl can't really take a joke, but her work is perfect. So take care, senpai. Please entertain me with your useless flailing on this layer too ÔÖÑ"

Until now, this has just been assumed to be someone throwing in the word "dimension" to make things seem more impressive, and that it's not actually 8 dimensional. The second point of which is fair because that's not how dimensions work. The first part on the other hand, I find that it is extremely foolish to assume it's not actually talking about actual dimensions when the writer shows in the quote above that they are entirely aware of what higher dimensions are and how they work.

Continuing on the above, I'm going to point something out. The bolded quote never says that the wall is 8 dimensional. Just that it cuts through 8 dimensions.

So if we get rid of the idea that "the wall is 1-C", which seems to cause a lot of outrage, which is fair because that's not really how higher dimensions and their structures work at all....

Then we still have a statement of "8 dimensions". An even more believable statement I'd think, considering how it's believed that lower dimensional things "cut" through higher dimensional things as a flat plane, and the wall is "cutting through" 8 dimensions, further alluding to how actual dimensions work.

Next, this article here, and this video here, both talk about the 8th dimension being comprised of all the possible timelines from all different universes:

The article states: "The Eighth Dimension: A Plane of All Possible Worlds, Each With Different Start Conditions, Each Branching Out Infinitely"

While the video states: "in the seventh dimension we treated all of the possible timelines which could be generated from our big bang as if this was a single point, and imagine drawing a line to a point representing all the possible timelines for a completely different universe"

Now both of these sound very similar to "Meanwhile, the core of the Moon Cell, simulator of parallel worlds, calculating all kinds of possibilities, past and present and future all existing at the same time."

So what I'm getting at here is that if nothing else, the Moon Cell is capable of simulating 8 dimensions within itself.

Outlier? Never showed that sort of power before? Sure. Outside itself, the Moon Cell might be able to warp reality, but never on that scale. Except the interior of the Moon Cell is very different to its exterior, in that it isn't a simulation at all, it's actually reality. It make sense that a computer is able to do things in its own data that it can't do outside itself.

Am I arguing for 1-C Moon Cell? No, not really. That sort of thing is still an outlier. But I still firmly believe the Moon Cell is capable of affecting and understanding 8 dimensional things, even if it isn't straight up 1-C. Higher Dimensional hax, similar to what The Authority got for creating Cloud Mountain.

You might argue that this is all circumstantial evidence. But if Gurran Lagan can get upgrades to High 1-C because of one mention of 10th and 11th dimensions and allusions to String Theory, then I think that it's entirely reasonable to take a clear explanation of how higher dimensions work, an 8th dimensional statement, and allusions to the nature of 8 dimensions in String Theory, as the Moon Cell having 8 dimensions within it.

Now, how does this apply to BB?

Obviously not an upgrade. Outliers and all that. Getting beaten by a 5-A. The scale of Nasuverse that has been otherwise shown.

But here's what we do get:

"That very Moon Cell is what BB became. She gained the perspective of a higher dimension. That's why....BB can make use of the past and the future at the same time. When she reached the core, she gained the power to choose and ascertain the future"

Conclusions? BB probably has a 8th dimensional perspective of reality, at least the reality within the Moon Cell

And finally, just to hammer home that BB's mind has definitely merged with something capable of simulating an 8th dimensional multiverse...

'With the inclusion of the AI called BB, the Moon Cell, which had been only the eye of god, became the brain of the god."

To finish up, there's also this thread here:

https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/1429666

It was agreed that yes, having a higher dimensional mind does equal immunity to lower dimensional mind hax unless that mind hax is otherwise shown to affect higher dimensional beings.

So, BB needs to get it stated on her page that her higher dimensional perspective is effective from an 8 dimensional standpoint, and needs to get resistance to mind hax based on her mind being many degrees of infinity above normal 3-D mind hax.

And she should probably also get higher dimensional manipulation based on merging with and controllnig the moon cell that contains 8 dimensional space within itself.

Edit: Also, she needs to get Type 9 added regardless of the 8D bit, as her mind is still merged with the Moon Cell and is independent from her physical body.

RIP Nihilus
Even if the 8D mind thing doesn't go through, it's still 4D as I explained in that thread and RIP Nihilus anyway
 
Also, I'd like to note that dimensional hax has existed in the Nasuverse for a long time.

Avalon temporarily BFRs the user to the Land of the Fairies, something that defends them agaisnt up to 6th dimensional attacks.

Beings such as Amaterasu exist outside the time axis, and Obscuring Wall of Chalk allows Mash to briefly displace herself from the time axis, protecting from attacks of a "higher order dimension"

Edmond Dante's NP allows him to escape from the confines of space and time, which yes, are dimensions.

And I'm pretty sure there's more things like that.
 
I'll just point out, if those are higher dimensions like physics define them, it wouldn't be 1-C anyway as far as I know, because they are treated differently.

After all "The sixth dimension is a plane containing all possible universes with the same start conditions as ours; i.e., the Big Bang." is an infinite multiverse. Not quite Low 1-C
 
Physics defines higher dimensions differently to us anyway.

Something 10D could be an infinite multiverse according to physics, but we stil would only say that is 2-A based on "how many universes" alone.
 
Unfortunately I need to go to sleep now, so I will address any further points when I wake up.
 
Yes, what I was saying is that physics saying 6-D = Us saying "baseline 2-A".

I'm not sure how we translate something 8-D in physics for the purpose of the tiering system tho.

Also do you have the quote about the simulations being real inside the Moon Cell? It's pretty relevant

Edit: Alright, see you later
 
Against my better judgement of sleeping, I popped back for one last check before I shut down.

Considering the tiering system is meant to be based on the principles of dimensions, I would hope that we would take something being 8D by how dimensions actually work rather than how many universes. It would be ridiculous if we upgraded things to Tier 1 based on showings and statements of higher dimensions that don't actually work like higher dimensions, and ignored higher dimensional statements and showings that actually do work like higher dimensions.

Quotes of simulations being real inside the moon cell I don't have, but considering every"where" inside the Moon Cell is a simulation of some sort, (the actual Moon Cell isn't even the size of the Moon, but can simulate the entire planet earth within itself) and we still take feats from inside the moon cell as legit, I'm pretty sure it's "real" as far as we are concerned.
 
Of course. That's why I want to be sure that we are talking about dimensions in the geometrical sense, here.

Do we? I remember one of the arguments against tier 2 BB being that they are simulated but not actually real
 
There are statements/explanations of how the Near Side has normal concepts (like time) and mechanics, while the op contains the explanation of how the Far Side works/is messed up concept-wise.

There is also a statement that the Moon Cell contains a domain of reality which encompasses space and time where timelines are stored (Universe of Record).
 
Damn it. Sleep eludes me still.

I have heard people argue before about how all the timelines are simulated and thus not actual timelines.

Ignoring that if we are ranking these things based as they are within the Moon Cell where literally everything is a simulation and we treat it as real so timelines should be no different...

Even if we assume that being "simulated" means they don't count , then BB is still overlooking a simulation of an 8 dimensional multiverse, and even if the actual space-time of that multiverse doesn't technically exist, she is still overlooking something simulating 8 dimensions, and thus the higher dimensional mind part is still applicable.

Edit: Actually properly sleeping now. Check back in 8 hours or so
 
What Kaltias said, really. These are higher-dimensions in a physics sense of the word. It no more gifts BB a "1-C Mind / Mind Resistance" than the Priesthood of the Adeptus Mechanicus being able to run higher-dimensional mathematics on their heads gifts them that.

Also, both that video and the article are Pseudo-science that is not reliable at all nor should it ever be used. Specially that video, those "Explaining the __ Dimension" stuff have been debunked for years.

And even if they were legit scientific analysis accepted that was peer reviewed and professionally published, that doesn't mean anything. Higher-Dimensions in fiction can be whatever the author of the piece wants them to be.

However, I will allow limited Higher-Dimensional Manipulation for her.
 
Yes but to the effect that it is really no functionally different than standard Spatial Manipulation.
 
I'm back.

First, I'd like to clarify something. I wasn't saying "Moon Cell is 8D because it can simulate a multiverse of all possible past, presents and futures and that is how 8D works in physics". I recognise that we just rate that as 2-B to 2-A.

What I was saying is that we have:

  • A clear explanation from Rin on how higher dimensions works that is in line with how we treat them.
  • A statement of there being 8 dimensions in the Moon Cell
  • A quote about all possible pasts presents and future that is likely alluding to how 8D places are thought of in physics.
Gurren Laggan set a precedent. It was able to be rated as 10-11 dimensions because of one statement of that many dimensions, and allusions to M-Theory.

Hence, I think that the Moon Cell / BB should be treated similar, because not only has it given us pretty much the same thing - One statement of that 8 dimensions, and an allusion to the nature of 8 dimensions in physics - it has also given us a very clear statement of what higher dimensions are, something Gurran Lagan does not.

Rin states that by merging with the Moon Cell, it has become "the brain of a God" and BB has gained a "higher dimensional perspective", being able to oversee all possibilities of past, present and future at once. She never states just how many dimensions. However, if the Moon Cell does indeed simulate within itself 8D spaces, then merging with the Moon Cell and becoming its "Brain" would logically give one its 8 dimensional perspective, as well as that higher dimensional manipulation of up to 8 dimensional spaces.
 
As for the video and website being psuedo-science and that's not how the 8th dimension actually works, that is a fair enough argument. I found two sources because I wasn't sure of the legitimacy of just one.

However, as you said, Higher-Dimensions in fiction can be whatever the author of the piece wants them to be.

And in Extra, the writer clearly establishes that being in a higher dimension essentially allows the person to view the 3D world "like a flat fabric", "see from above your own past, present, future", "use of the past and the future at the same time", "the power to choose and ascertain the future" and that to a higher dimensional being "There's no past or future"

This is pretty much how we treat higher dimensions.
 
Personally, I'm completely fine with this.

Should she have Type 9?
 
If this is accepted, probably yes, as her physical body in the timeline is more just a way of physically interacting with it while her mind is up in the Moon Cell overlooking everything.
 
@PaChi

Short answer: No

Long answer: It was already discussed and it was deemed that it contradicts the established scale of the verse because people vastly above BB caps at 5-A and 4-B feat wise. So it's an outlier
 
Don't use Gurren Lagann as a strawman. This is as bad as people who try to use Saint Seiya to upgrade Dragon Ball. TTGL was accepted because of blatant Multiversal feats and clarification of the Multiverse being 11D. The 2-C feat was actually High 1-C.

As for BB and higher dimensions, they aren't really being depicted quite like we treat them, but whatever.

I am fine with spatial manipulation but not the mind thing.
 
Don't strawman me, I didn't mention that in my post. I am saying that comparing BB with TTFL is flawed.
 
I am not proposing 1-C BB, nor am I using a strawman.

I'm using a precedent. Gurren Lagan had Tier 2 feats, but the Tier 1 upgrade came from one mention of "oscilating between the 10th and 11th dimensions" along with some allusions to string theory, and that was taken as "clarification of the multiverse being 11D"

Here, we have explanations of higher dimensions, allusions to higher dimensions in physics, and a statement of 8 dimensions, which can be used as "clarification of the Moon Cell simulating 8D"
 
I have no dog in this race, nor do I have any investment in the Nasuverse.

However...

"From a higher dimension, 3D is like a flat fabric. Let's see...say the 3D world is a world written in a book, and jumping in it resulted in finding yourself outside of the book, okay? It becomes so that you are able to see from above your own past, present, future, in the form of records. This is the perspective of a higher dimension. Do you see?

"That very Moon Cell is what BB became. She gained the perspective of a higher dimension. That's why....BB can make use of the past and the future at the same time. When she reached the core, she gained the power to choose and ascertain the future"

"With the inclusion of the AI called BB, the Moon Cell, which had been only the eye of god, became the brain of the god."

^This is all ludicrously clear "character's mind exists in a higher level of reality" shit. Unless the character has extremely bad anti-feats when it comes to mindhax resistance, I have no idea why this part is even being argued.

Actually, he agrees she should have a higher dimensional / level-of-reality mind, and didn't say anything on the other parts.

I meant as resistance.

1-C resistance.
 
If the 8D thing goes through it would be 1-C mind resistance.

Even if it doesn't it's still a higher dimensional mind, so it would be 2-C mind resistance via 4D mind
