Penultimate

==Penultimate==
You are now in the Final Realm of JToH's Joke Towers. As reality and concepts fade, you wonder if you will be freed from your eternal torment of repetition, difficulties never variating from each other. You knew everything, was prepared for anything blocking you from proceeding to the end of the difficulty chart. They always told you, "No. There is no beating this," yet you proceeded towards the final goal you'll make, far from here. Will this be another difficulty that you are grinding to the Final Difficulty? That is incorrect. Your grinding is absolutely useless, since this rise in difficulty changes EVERYTHING. This world is no longer familiar, and you were never prepared for the transition.
Note 1: This is after the Ultimate Construct Project is completed, and then will be AFTER TUC:P.
Penultimate is a difficulty in JToH's Joke Towers that is represented by a depiction of the 8th Hindu chakra, also known as the soul star chakra. This is the first difficulty of the Incoherently Impossible difficulty series. Obstacles in this difficulty are more of barriers, an enormous step from Absolute Undefined, the previous difficulty rating. This results in players struggling on an average Penultimate difficulty tower, forcing them to take on eternities of grinding to make sufficient progression. To beat any tower in this difficulty would be an outstanding achievement heard throughout all of the wiki.
There are 35 towers currently assigned to the difficulty, 19 of them residing in the Questionable Domain (as of now, the difficulty chart for QD was incomplete). Tower of Extreme Muscle Strain, Citadel of Perfect Calibrated Movements, and Tower of Tough Temporal Decisions all used to be Penultimate difficulty but were reassigned to Effortful difficulty (CoPCM being reduced further to Uncomputable). The Off-White used to be this difficulty (in origin), but was eventually changed to The Final Difficulty. Tower of A Fractured Consciousness was moved up to Penultimate after its final stretch was added into the Questionable Domain.
==Skills Required==
===Lower Range===
*Reduction Weakness: Any sort of reduction is lessened into a weaker form of abstract change. (Gar-Brick -> Normal Brick, Collapse (HG version) -> Atom Brick) It is likely for a tower of Penultimate to require this as many sorts of reduction principles will be enforced in every floor.
*Infinite/Trans-infinite Reduction: All infinities from TFN (The Final Number) to any infinite overflow state (infinte becomes negative infinite) are reduced to large numbers. This covers all transdimensional sizes to A-lock categories.
*Post-Axiom Collapse: An axiom is a statement that is universally regarded as true. Since Class 25+ difficulty ratings usually disregard logic in general, a lot of absolute truths will need to be reversed or collapsed to continue through a floor.
*Hyperimpossibility Weakness(+): Similar to Reduction Weakness, any sort of hyperimpossibility, or such topics that cover any above-abstract properties like negative to imaginary probabilities (including extended quaternions and above). A lot of towers will use this, and those that do not typically sit the Skyline-Peak range of towers, since the skills required for such range cover topics like these.
*There are other concepts that have not been announced as for some cryptic towers. This is to keep the integrity of Tower of Transmaximal Layering and Tower of Hidden Domains' gameplay.
===Upper Range===
*Collapse Aversion/Reduction: This is probably a hyperimpossible feat to accomplish even with the skills used above. Since the player resides in the fictional world it will be futile or improbable for the player to do. Simply, this skill is to reduce the effects of a Hyperology-style collapse and keep the player in an MRL-Inconsistent state for a longer time period as their actions could claim to affect the real world.

*Other concepts will be shown but are not known as of now.
==Continuing from this point==
You astound me- No. You have not passed this difficulty, obviously. If you have (not), then I recommend you do not attempt to access the ordinals. You do not want to touch Liminal, although It's not like you will reach them at this rate.
