Currently, we rate the SCP Foundatio 1-Bs as having "at least 196,884 dimensions, with countless more unobservable vectors" based on both the tale Nobody Dies and SCP-2637's description. Seems fine at first glance, but let's dig deeper and see if it still holds up, shall we?
The Revision
Let's analyze the quote that puts the verse's God-Tiers at countlessly beyond 196,884-D:
| He looked deeper, beyond the coating, into the metallurgical structure of the disc. The internal flow seemed to twist and turn through impossible spaces, incredible tension pulling the fabric of reality taut within the hardened disc. He looked deeper, into the molecular structure; there he saw five-dimensional warping that should, by all accounts, cause the disc to shatter into dust. The atomic structure was bent through eight dimensions, beneath that, the protons were pulled across eighteen; the constituent quarks below were crackling across twenty six and below that he could feel the tension of uncountable vectors in uncountable spaces. | ||

That said, this also brings up a new question. Where is 196,884-D SCP from? Well, there are two different sources. Let's look at 'em:
| The nature of the entities which elaborated the message within SCP-2637-1 as well as the purpose of the message are not revealed within the elucidated parts of message16. Numerous segments suggest the entities are aware of the two-dimensional nature of their reality, and are trying to eventually contact 196,884-dimensional beings. | ||
~ SCP-2637 |
| The most notable difference between point of views comes when the spatial dimensions of geometry are brought up and analyzed in-depth. While mainstream science widely accepts the existence of at least four dimensions, the library supports and lists evidence of the existence of at least 196,884 observable dimensions; that is, the number of dimensions that can be safely cataloged. However, the number of dimensions that form the entire space-time are stated to be layered in sets of countable infinities; that is, there is an infinite number of dimensions in the unobservable universe; said infinities are themselves layered in countable sets. The number of layers is said to be unknown. | ||

And, as we all know, we don't tend to use in-universe speculation for...well, anything here. We tend to rate our profiles based solely on what can be confirmed.
My Proposal
Remove the "countless-D" and replace it with a straight-up "196,884 D" rating, since that's the highest value that can be safely confirmed in the series. Anything higher than that would be speculative.
