Existential Status

## **Introduction**

When making a comparison of who is the most skilled martial artist in the world, we may eventually be in doubt between Bruce Lee, Jack Chan and Yip Man. Despite this, this comparison does not even use close figures, like two martial artists, where we will only compare their skills. As we expand the scope of the analysis, we come across figures that are not even human, where the comparison becomes more and more imprecise. And this is exactly where it all starts...

As we know, existence is the quality of everything that is real or exists, and it is also the basis of everything else.

The idea of ​​Existential Status is that we can make a classification, not hierarchical, about the nature of the character under analysis. With this nature, we can more easily define what kind of interaction it can have with reality, and what the nature of its existence is like.

## **Types**

```
Concrete

```

Much of the objects and entities in our universe are composed of several elementary particles. We will call concrete anything whose composition is of these elementary particles, including the particles themselves. The most notable examples are matter and antimatter.

These objects can interact with each other in several ways, in particular, the four fundamental forces of nature (gravitational, electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong nuclear).

```
Energetic

```

The concept of energy, for physics, can be interpreted as the ability to do work. It is generally more closely linked to the relationship between physical systems. Within what we consider here, to analyze fiction, we can take a more general approach and interpret energy as everything that, although not matter, interacts *as a rule* with it.

Check that, by this definition, even if a spirit is able to interact with matter, it is not of an energetic nature, since it does not interact with it as a rule, but when it actively decides to interact.

```
Spiritual

```

Although spirit is an intuitive word, conceptualizing it in a comprehensive way is a complex job, mainly because they do not describe something measurable, or that can be registered through our senses for most of the (religious) definitions that we have what he is for.

However, by way of classification, let us interpret spirit as any consciousness whose existence is independent of a body.

Abstract

```

In investigating the nature of the universe and what makes it up, we evaluate their characteristics and properties, and assign meaning. We call this process abstraction.

When referring to something abstract as an entity, we are extending the concept of being to the very ideas that we build in relation to the world, since they describe something that makes up it. Some ancient philosophers, notably Plato and the Neoplatonic philosophers, argued that the world of ideas was fundamental to the very existence of the physical world, and that the physical world copied the ideas that resided in the world of ideas (although this is only one among many possible interpretations).

While we witness the concreteness of the world from what our senses, we interpret its abstraction from our imagination, in such a way that we can interpret abstract as being everything that is not concrete. Within what is fundamental in the universe, the best examples we have are time, numbers and the laws of physics.

However, more than just watching, we can also create things that are not concrete, and even our imaginations have an influence on reality. This is the case, for example, with the value we attach to money, and with the principles established by science such as law.

Generally, it is not possible to interact or destroy abstract things based on pure brute force. For example, it is not possible to destroy the principle of isonomy by punching a copy of the Federal Constitution, because although this principle is registered there, it does not reside there.

```
Transcendent

```

As we interpret it, the quality of transcendence is related to the independence of an entity in relation to something. The transcendent class exists to classify characters with divine attributes, and we can interpret these as transcendent in relation to everything that makes up the universe, which includes:

* **Particles:** Here, we include electrons, neutrons, protons, neutrinos, photons, positrons, muons and others. These particles, in turn, are responsible for several of the things with which we interact, such as matter, antimatter and light.
* **Dark matter and energy:** Although we have little information about them, dark matter and energy correspond to most of the composition of our universe.
* **Dimensions:** We have several interpretations for what can be a dimension, and in the case in question, we deal with spatial dimensions. For linear algebra, dimensions are the number of linearly independent vectors that form a basis for vector space. Taking physical space as a vector space, transcending dimensions is equivalent to transcending space itself.
* **Time:** We can interpret time as the measured interval by which we identify the occurrence of events. That is, if events occur at different times, time is what allows us to identify those moments. A transcendent being, even if it participates in these relationships, does not depend on them.
* **The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature:** Weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force, gravitational force and electromagnetic force.
* **Physical quantities:** Physical quantities are properties or relationships that can be measured in a phenomenon, body or substance. We include things like energy, mass, volume, speed, moment, etc.

Given these conditions, most of the known powers, as well as brute force, are not enough to defeat a transcendent, regardless of the degree to which he is.
