Tiering System

## **Summary and notes**

**This page is extremely important. In order to understand many things around here and in order to start making your own profiles and debating, you *need* to know this system.**

### Preamble

It should be noted that sometimes having overall destructive capacity is not enough to defeat others that harbor "broken" or "hax" abilities.

Identically, two characters in the same tier do *not* necessarily need to be equivalent in terms of power. The energy difference between them can range from negligible to absolutely titanic, dependable upon the tier.

Furthermore, a higher tier character cannot always beat a character with a lower tier, especially if their power levels are close to each other and/or their foe has ridiculous hax.

### Explanation of the Tiering System

This system is based on the principle that adhering to infinity in projective Geometry, and the concept of a Hausdorff dimension, each higher spatial dimension is more than inaccessibly greater than the preceding number of any magnitude. For example, how many squares would stack into a cube? Since true 2-dimensional squares don't have any height (since we're stacking them), it would take more than an infinite amount for it to even be remotely possible to fill a true 3-dimensional cube. Kindly see this video for a more detailed explanation with easier to understand examples.

To add upon this, according to Brane Cosmology, a universe consists of a 4-dimensional (3 spatial dimensions [length, width and height] + 1 temporal [time] dimension) brane in a higher-dimensional structure, with our multiverse containing something on the order of 10^500 (an extremely large number. To grasp how ridiculously gigantic it is, one billion is only 10^9) of them.

The M-Theory defines the total and complete sum of an entire multiverse, with all higher dimensions included, as a 10 to 11-dimensional structure. We tail the conventions of a complete and full multiverse being 11-dimensional, unless stated otherwise.

**DO NOTE** that the prior two paragraphs are just describing two possible models for how dimensions can work in a cosmology and shouldn't be generally assumed and are only primarily listed as examples, such as if they were to be presented as true in the context of the story.

## **The Scale**

### Tier 12: Negative-Dimensional

#### **12-C:** Innerverse level

Characters that exist below the concept of Dimensions, being the opposite of transcending the concept of Dimensions. Even an infinitely negative dimensional character would be completely beyond comprehension to an Innerversal character.
Characters are below Mathematics, Formless (Where they lack any structure at all) and being qualitatively Inferior to being Infinitely bounded to a Negative Dimensional Space.

This "Space" in the term being below Negative Dimensions, instead of existing "Outside", this space is bounded of all restrictions and concepts, even below Space itself, possibly.

#### **12-B:** Low Hypoverse Level

Characters that are infinitely Negative Dimensional or exist within a Negative Hilbert Space.

#### **12-A:** Hypoverse Level

Characters existing within a Negative-Dimensional Space where even Zero-Dimensional Characters are boundlessly superior to Negative Dimensional characters.

### Tier 11: Lower-Dimensional

#### **11-A:** Plane level

This Category is separated in the following mannar:

* **Plane Level:** ('11-A') Characters that are 2-Dimensional
* **Below Planck Scale**("11-A+") Characters below a 3-Dimensional Planck Scale where Physics becomes Impossible to Define anything below a Planck Scale

### Tier 10: Regular

#### **10-C:** Below Average Human level

Physically impaired humans. Small animals.

#### **10-A:** Athlete level

Athletes, most fighting characters from action movies.

### Tier 9: Superhuman

#### **9-C:** Street level

Peak Humans to Low Superhuman. Few physically very strong olympic level athletes and martial artists in real life. Most protagonists and final villains from action/martial arts movies. Large animals.

#### **9-B:** Wall level

Characters/Weapons who can destroy a wall, or those who can easily harm characters with wall level durability. Very large animals.

#### **9-A:** Room/Small Building level

Characters/Weapons who can destroy a room or a small building, or those who can easily harm characters with room level durability. Extremely large animals.

### Tier 8: Urban

#### **8-C:** Building level

Characters/Weapons who can destroy a building, or those who can easily harm characters with building level durability.

#### **8-B:** City Block level

Characters/Weapons who can destroy a city-block, or those who can easily harm characters with city-block level durability.

#### **8-A:** Multi-City Block level

Characters/Weapons who can destroy multiple city-blocks, or those who can easily harm characters with multi city-block level durability.

### Tier 7: Nuclear

#### **7-C:** Town level

Characters who can destroy a town, or those who can easily harm characters with town level durability.

#### **7-B:** City level

Characters/Weapons who can destroy a city, or those who can easily harm characters with city level durability.

#### **7-A:** Mountain level

Characters/Weapons who can destroy a large mountain, or those who can easily harm characters with mountain level durability.

### Tier 6: Tectonic

#### **6-C:** Island level

Characters/Weapons who can destroy a large island, or those who can easily harm characters with island level durability.

#### **6-B:** Country level

Characters who can destroy a country, or those who can easily harm characters with country level durability.

#### **6-A:** Continent level

Characters who can destroy a continent, or those who can easily harm characters with continent level durability.

### Tier 5: Planetary

#### **5-C:** Moon level

Characters who can destroy a moon, or an astrological object of similar proportion.

#### **5-B:** Planet level

Characters who can create/destroy a planet.

#### **5-A:** Large Planet level

Characters who can create/destroy large gas giants such as Jupiter and Saturn.

### Tier 4: Stellar

#### **4-C:** Star level

Characters who can create/destroy a star.

#### **4-B:** Solar System level

Characters who can create/destroy a solar system.

#### **4-A:** Multi-Solar System level

Characters who can create/destroy multiple solar systems.

### Tier 3: Cosmic

#### **3-C:** Galaxy level

Characters who can create/destroy a galaxy.

#### **3-B:** Multi-Galaxy level

Characters who can create/destroy multiple galaxies.

#### **3-A:** Universe level

This category is separated in the following manner:

* Universe level: ("3-A") Characters who can destroy all of the physical matter within an observable universe at full power. More specifically, usually via an explosion, omnidirectional energy blast, or a shockwave, that encompasses all of the stars and planets within a universe.
* High Universe level: ("High 3-A") Characters who have an infinite degree of 3-dimensional power. Alternately 4-dimensional power that is shown as completely qualitatively superior to 3-Dimensional beings, but is less than universal in scale. Characters that can defeat any 3rd-Dimensional Life form but inferior to 4-D Beings. Or that allows them to create large parts of a universal continuum. Take note that 4-D power should logically always be superior to countably infinite 3-D power, so characters within this tier are not necessarily comparable. Also take note that we consider most small scale time-space abilities as has, not as AP.

### Tier 2: Macroversal

#### **2-C:** Multi-Universe level

This category is separated in the following manner:

* Universe level+: ("Low 2-C") This is for characters who can destroy and/or create the entire 4-dimensional space-time of one universe, not just the physical matter within one. For example, an entire timeline.

* Multi-Universe level: ("2-C") Characters who can destroy and/or create up to 1000 universal space-time continuums.

#### **2-B:** Multiverse level

Characters who can create and/or destroy 1001 to any higher finite number of universal 4-dimensional space-time continuums.

#### **2-A:** Multiverse level+

This category is separated in the following manner:

* Multiverse level+: ("2-A") Characters who can destroy and/or create a countably infinite number of 4-dimensional universal space-time continuums. Take note that the universes are technically lined up along a 5-dimensional axis, but that their geometrical size still amounts to 0 within this scale.
* High Multiverse level+: ("High 2-A") Characters who are 5-dimensional, and/or can destroy and/or create 5-dimensional space-time constructs of a not insignificant size. Characters that can destroy an uncountably Infinite amount of Universes may be assigned to this Tier as like saying that an Uncountably Infinite Infinite 4-Ds may be higher than 0 on a geometrical 5-Dimensional Axis which is like saying an Uncountably Infinite Infinite Planes of 2-D stack on each other may potentially be higher than 0 even without any width and thus, being 3-D.

### Tier 1: Extradimensional

#### **1-C:** Complex Multiverse level

These are 6-11-dimensional characters. Even 6-dimensional characters can logically easily destroy a more than countably infinite number of 5-dimensional space-time continuums, and 7-dimensional characters exceed that scale a more than countably infinite number of times, and so onwards. However, these characters do not exceed the 11-dimensional scale of the complete totality of a full multiverse, as defined by M-Theory.

This category is separated in the following manner:

* Low Complex Multiverse level: ("Low 1-C") 6-dimensional characters.
	+ Low Complex Multiverse level+: 7-dimensional characters.
* Complex Multiverse level: ("1-C") 8-dimensional characters.
	+ Complex Multiverse level+: 9-dimensional characters.
* High Complex Multiverse level: ("High 1-C") 10-dimensional characters.
	+ High Complex Multiverse level+: 11-dimensional characters.

#### **1-B:** Hyperverse level

12-dimensional beings and above. These are characters that are beyond complex multiversal scale.

"Hyperverse" in this case comes from two words: "Hyper", which is used in mathematics to designate higher-dimensional space, and something extreme, above or beyond the usual level. As well as "verse" as a short for "universe". So it is intended as a description of a superior higher-dimensional existence, beyond conventional reality.

12-dimensional characters are a more than countably infinite number of times greater than a full complex M-Theory multiverse, 13-dimensional character are a more than countably infinite number of times greater than that and so onwards.

This category is separated in the following manner:

* Low Hyperverse level: ("Low 1-B") 12-dimensional characters (That vastly exceed multiversal scale, but are still loosely related to it)
* Hyperverse level: ("1-B") Characters with a finite number of dimensions greater than 12.
* High Hyperverse level: ("High 1-B") Infinite-dimensional Hilbert space characters.

Take note that even if a character is a more than countably infinite number of times superior to an infinite-dimensional space, or similar, it would still usually only qualify for High 1-B, as long as the character does not transcend the concepts of time and space altogether.

#### **1-A:** Outerverse level

Characters that have no dimensional limitations.

Basically, a being or an object which is outside and beyond all concepts of time and space. This is something completely formless, abstract, metaphysical and transcendental. The usual scale does not make sense against a beyond dimensional object. Such beings can not be affected by destruction within the dimensions of time and space, or physical matter and energy. This "space" in which there is no dimension can be the background for any dimensional space. Within such a beyond dimensional "space", a dimensional structure with any number of dimensions can be placed, because there are no restrictions regarding dimensions.

Note that all tier 1-A characters have qualitative superiority over dimensional structures and concepts. Also, mere capability to exist in a beyond dimensional domain does not qualify a character as a beyond dimensional being.

This category is separated in the following manner:

* Low Outerverse level: ("Low 1-A") Uncountably infinite-dimensional characters. These characters would transcend the **High 1-B** tier in the same way a **High 2-A** character would transcend a **2-A** one.
* Outerverse level: ("1-A") Characters that are beyond all dimensional scale, i.e., dimensionless characters that are superior to dimensionality as a whole, or characters that can create/destroy structures of this magnitude. There are two options in order to qualify for this tier: There should either be a qualitative superiority over infinite dimensions, or the superiority over the concept of dimensions (in general) should be clearly explained. Additionally, characters who stand infinite steps above the baseline of Outerversal are granted the "**+**" modifier.
	+ Outerverse level+: Characters who stand infinite steps above the baseline of **1-A**. To preface, a single "step" above the baseline of **1-A** would represent a character who views a **1-A** structure as fiction to their perspective. The size of an Outerversal+ hierarchy would be expressed on a scale where 1 = baseline **1-A**, 2 = a single step above baseline **1-A**, and ∞ = **1-A+**. This tier would be to baseline **1-A** what baseline **High 1-B** is to **11-C**.
* High Outerverse level: ("High 1-A") Characters or objects that can affect structures that are larger than what the logical framework defining **1-A** and below can allow, and as such exceed any possible number of levels contained in the previous tiers, including an infinite or uncountably infinite number. Practically speaking, this would be something completely unreachable to any **1-A** hierarchies. To further clarify, a High 1-A should be so much higher than baseline 1-A characters that it can not be estimated or comprehended from their perspectives. That is, to even be considered for High 1-A, a character must at the very least transcend baseline 1-A characters in the same manner that they exceed all forms of dimensional space. A concrete example of such a structure would be an inaccessible cardinal, which in simple terms is a number so large that it cannot be reached ("accessed") by smaller numbers, and as such has to be "assumed" to exist in order to be made sense of or defined in a formal context (Unlike the standard aleph numbers, which can be straightforwardly put together using the building blocks of set theory). Even just the amount of infinite cardinals between the first inaccessible cardinal and aleph-2 (Which defines **1-A**) is greater than cardinals such as aleph-0, aleph-1, aleph-2, aleph-3, etc., and even many aleph numbers whose index is an infinite ordinal.. More information on the concept are available on these videos.

### Tier 0: Boundless

* Boundless: ("0") Characters that are boundlessly above absolutely everything, including existence and nonexistence, possibility, causality, dualism and non-dualism, the concepts of life and death, and their analogues at any level. Characters or objects that can affect such structures would completely exceed the logical foundations of **High 1-A**, much like it exceeds the ones defining **1-A** and below, meaning that all possible levels of **High 1-A** are exceeded, even an infinite or uncountably amount of such levels. This tier has no endpoint, and can be extended to any higher level just like the ones above. Much like the example of inaccessible cardinals above, an example of a structure like this would be kappa-inaccessible cardinals, or also known as "strongly" inaccessible. A cardinal κ is 1-inaccessible if it is inaccessible and a limit of inaccessible cardinals. In other words, κ is 1-inaccessible if κ is the κth inaccessible cardinal, that is, if κ is a fixed point in the enumeration of all inaccessible cardinals. Equivalently, κ is 1-inaccessible if Vκ is a universe and satisfies the universe axiom. 1-inaccessible views inaccessible the same way inaccessible views alephs and limits an entire inaccessible cardinal hierarchy much like alephs. For further information on cardinals on this scale, consult these pages. For characters who stand infinite steps above the baseline of Tier 0, they would be granted a "+" modifier.

## **Notes**

**Note #1:** All characters have a greater than infinite number of dimensional aspects, most of which have a null magnitude, with null being a value that shows that someone doesn't interact with those dimensions. A character which is classified as n-dimensional has non-null magnitude in n number of dimensional vectors.

**Note #2:** A query that might arise is the existence of lower-dimensional beings in a higher-dimensional plane, and what it implies. Contrary to how complicated it sounds, the explanation for it is quite simple.

As noted previously, every being and object has an infinite number of dimensional aspects, with most of them being zero. For example, a regular bar of soap has an infinite number of dimensional aspects, but the value of all such dimensional vectors, apart from the three basic spatial dimensions (length, width and height), is null.

In other words, every being and object exists in a higher-dimensional space (apart from those High 1-B and above), only with the magnitude of higher dimensional vectors being null.

Null in this context being a value less that zero that shows a non-interaction with the vector or dimension.

**TL;DR, simply existing in a higher-dimensional space does not classify a character as higher-dimensional in any way whatsoever.**

**Note #3:** Another query that might come to mind is the question of how higher-dimensional beings can defeat lower-dimensional ones. After all, higher-dimensional objects cannot directly interact with lower dimensional objects, eg: we cannot physically deform a drawing of a two-dimensional square.

The answer to this is simple: while higher-dimensional creatures cannot directly interact with lower dimensional ones, they can, however, interact with the higher-dimensional construct within which the lower dimensional construct lies, eg: we can tear the 3-dimensional paper in which the two-dimensional square exists.

Hence, while higher-dimensional characters are not capable of directly attacking a lower dimensional character, they are very much capable of harming them (via an indirect attack on a higher-dimensional plane).

**Note #4:** As noted earlier, any lower-dimensional abilities and effects should technically be useless against higher-dimensional entities. However, in rare cases, lower-dimensional characters may have abilities (high-level quantum manipulation, reality alteration, etc.) which allow them to influence higher-dimensional structures.

Additionally, higher-dimensional characters can have problems affecting lower-dimensional structures, because they are too insignificant from their perspective. Nevertheless, higher-dimensional characters usually have some sort of ability to manipulate reality via higher-dimensional manipulation, or else creating/casting "shadows," "aspects," "dreams," avatars or the manifestation bodies that allow them to interact directly with lower dimensions of reality.

There are many different versions of the concept of higher-dimensional entities, each depending on the fictional rules that the author of that particular franchise has laid out. Hence, it is impossible to say that higher-dimensional characters can always beat lower dimensional ones within fiction.

**Note #5:** + symbol

Currently misused to an extraordinary degree on the wiki, the "+" symbol should be used when the Attack Potency is greater than the average (arithmetic mean) of the high end energy level and low end energy level of a particular tier.

Example: Average of Large Building level is: [2 Tons (low end) + 11 tons (high end)]/2 = 6.5 Tons (the arithmetic mean). All energy levels from 2 Tons to 6.5 Tons should be listed as Large Building level, whereas all energy levels from 6.5 Tons to 11 Tons should be listed as Large Building level+.

**Note #6:** If a character is stated to be omnipotent, that doesn't inherently grant them a particular tier, since that statement often means that a character is very strong, which is unquantifiable without further context. For example, if a character with 7-B AP says that another character is omnipotent, it just means that the second character is much stronger than the character who made that statement, but that doesn't make them High 3-A, Low 2-C, High 1-A etc. by default. Furthermore, our Wiki does not have a Tier 0 in any way be it for claims of boundlessness or omnipotence, because true omnipotence is not a thing. Check this video for a detailed explanation of the problems regarding omnipotence.

**Note #7:** Characters beyond the concept of space also fall under the 1-A Tier, but they are on a slightly higher scale than characters transcending the concept of dimensionality. Furthermore, the concept of dimensionality is higher than dimensionality as a whole because it is what makes dimensionality even possible in the first place and it has ultimate authority over it.
