For a while I've been intending to add a verse to this site, a web serial novel known as Fine Structure. Now, this verse is quite powerful with the strongest characters reaching 1-B and as such; I figured getting the ratings approved first would be better.
Originally I was going to do this with a cosmology blog but later on I realized it wouldn't be necessary, the evidence of these ratings are very straightforward and the overall cosmology introduced isn't really complex or dense enough to require a blog. Instead I'll just post the tiers and their justification here.
You can check out the series here
Xio and Oul
First, an introduction to who the supposed 1-Bs are. One of them is Xio, he is a 75+5D being and he gets his home attacked by Oul, an 80+6D being who is more a mindless weapon made purely for destruction. Oul is far more powerful than Xio but Xio has actual intelligence. They have a battle which ends with Xio bringing Oul to the3+1D universe and trapping both of them in a prison which takes away a vast majority of their power, reducing them to 3-D entities.
Dimensions
The series involves higher dimensions as a major plot element. But what proves dimensions in this series are used in a way that justifies Higher D tiering? A lot of things in fact
First of all, it is stated by Xio in his battle against Oul that a dimensional difference between two opponents means there isn't a contest between them at all
"It's about dimension. One degree of freedom over your opponent and there is no contest, none at all, and mine fell five to be here"
"My people play with waveforms during infancy, we can literally alter odds in our favour - but where this thing comes from, my home and the entire cosmos it sits in is a tiny, shiny circle in space that you could crush between your fingers."
"If the adversary had any mind, any intelligent thought at all, it would have been over in microseconds. But it has no mind. Just firepower."

Higher Dimensional beings resembled "omnipotence" to the perspective of lower dimensional beings
"Do you believe in God?"
"If by that you mean, do I believe that there exist multidimensional beings of colossal scale and intelligence in planes of reality far above ours, with powers and abilities which would appear in our reality to resemble omnipotence, capable, even, of deterministically predicting human behaviour to great accuracy, before whom our entire universe, all its physical extent along with its past, present and future, is as insignificant nanotechnology, then yes
https://qntm.org/least
It was stated that 3 dimensionsal beings cannot even comprehend Oul's destructive power
"Oul' is the closest approximation in human language of the name of a cosmic eighty-plus-six-dimensional hyperweapon which fell out of the control of its creators.
"You do not have an appropriate conceptual framework to understand the destructive capabilities of this being. I have seen what Oul is capable of first-hand, but the three-dimensional vocabulary does not exist to describe the scale of destruction it wrought while I brought it under control.
https://qntm.org/chaoticia
And the most blatant piece of evidence? The difference between dimensional beings being alluded to as "different levels of infinity"
"The thought occurs to Ching that the two of them could battle until they were invisible points fighting for control of a zero-dimensional universe, and he would still be hopelessly outclassed"
"Xio and Oul were both of effectively infinite capability. But there are levels of infinity. That was how this all began in the first place."

I would like it if the tier 1-B ratings are verified, so I can be allowed to move forward with the creation of these profiles. I will also use this thread to bring up certain abilities and I would appreciate if I can get opinions on them.
