Hello. I want to make a downgrade thread for God of War, but I don't want to make too much of a risk making a thread with points that have already been addressed and refuted. Thus, I will discuss my points with you first. I saw the God of War upgrade thread you made, which is essentially based on scaling the Yggdrasil, Light of Alfheim, and Primordial Magic to the Realm Between Realms, the extent of the Realm Between Realms being established in this thread. Now, I agree with scaling characters such as Kratos to the Realm Between Realms, but I disagree with scaling the Realm Between Realms to Low 1-C in the first place.
Your reasoning for scaling the Realm Between Realms is that it is "a structure that occupies the center of the spiritual void of the Realm Between Realms, which exists outside all of the Nine Realms and acts as a higher order space that these parallel 4-dimensional realities are displaced across." However, this does not scale to 5D or Low 1-C. The Nine Realms in God of War have never been shown to be infinite in spatial size. They do indeed have their own spacetimes, but that is not proof of infinite size spatially. Spacetimes can certainly be finite, as shown both in fiction through the concept of pocket dimensions, and also in real life cosmology. Even if the axis of time extends infinitely (which is also something that hasn't been shown in GOW) for each of these realms, there is no proof that they each have infinite spatial extent. Now, the thing is, finite 4D dimensions ("dimensions" in this context referring to "worlds") can be contained within a larger 4D space rather than 5D space. Think of it as an ocean that contains and encompasses bubbles inside of it. The bubbles are contained by the ocean, but still have the same dimensionality as the ocean. There is no need to jump to a higher dimension to explain the Realm Between Realms, or the Yggdrasil, Light of Alfheim, and Primordial Magic by extension. You don't have to agree with this, but if it is a new argument rather than one that was already refuted, I can make a new thread for this.
