That is a good point on where to start determining layered dimensionality, but that bring up the point of "why don't we just treat them as whatever they have shown in their own narrative?" We have done this before, and it seems like for narratives below the primary SCP story that it would be the best option to avoid something that not only isn't possible, but isn't indicated in the source material (below dimensional narratives).Agnaa said:Because it doesn't make sense to give every character in the verse one of the highest 1-B on the site because we're working from the lowest level. We choose the main narrative because that's where 99.9999% of the content on the site is focused on, and where the rest of the content is relative to.
SCP-3812 is superior to the main narrative because it's on a constant ascension through higher narratives, each of which sees lower narratives as fiction.
SCP-1304 is a ritual for murder which when written into books causes a character to disappear from that book. In the week after publication a baby is born whose life will follow, as closely as possible, the life of the individual who was murdered in that book.
Are these the kind of things you wanted?
What?SwathingDegenera777 said:We get it you have a hateboner against SCP, can you just let it rest man?
This thread in and of itself has literally nothing to do with why I dislike SCP. If any verse had this kind of cosmology I'd be doing the exact same thing.SwathingDegenera777 said:We get it you have a hateboner against SCP, can you just let it rest man?
Even if he's joking he said it in a pretty harsh way, but idk the relationship between those two.Iapitus The Impaler said:He was probably joking lol
I know there are lower layers in I/O. I question why we consider lower narrative layers lower spatial dimensions if they have been shown to be comparable in spatial complexity.Jobbo said:There's a similar situation in I/O with infinite qualitatively inferior layers.
The last option is the worst. The last option is that SCP-3812 cannot be measured in Humes, because it's doing something else. Whatever fundamental aspect of its nature that allows it to warp reality is not the same aspect as literally everything else we have ever come across. Scranton hypothesized that there might be higher and lower dimensions of reality, different levels of manipulation in the grand construction of the universe. The difference between manipulating a rock with your hands and manipulating a rock with an atom bomb. He called the thing being manipulated the "narrative", and suggested that the narratives were stacked on top of either other, each creating the narrative of the narrative below it, and so on, until you reached some sort of dead space below them all. |
I'm not really going to disagree with this.Assaltwaffle said:@Azzy
But the writings themselves are seemingly inconsistent and don't know what standard to follow.
No, multiple knowledgeable people reviewed this evidence around a year ago and concluded that even if each narrative was High 1-B none of the verse would be 1-A. The closest beings would be those that transcend the narrative hierarchy as a whole, but since the narrative hierarchy isn't necessarily endless that still wouldn't be 1-A.DMB 1 said:... Even normal humans, if thy exist in higher narratives, they would be technically 1-A?
