Powerscaling System

## Introduction

Due to the CCRP's nature as containing fiction's most powerful franchises, there has to be a powerscaling system able to handle the incomprehensible capabilities of verses such as AllDimensions and Heir to the Stars. This system will be an extension of the VSB Tiering System based on the **Original Fiction Database**'s Attack Potency tiering above **High Outerversal**, as the latter is the most viable extension of existing powerscaling systems to account for "transcendent" franchises. There is also a predecessor to the current CCRP powerscaling system found here.

## The Scale

### Tier 0 - Low Metaversal

This is where the VSB Wiki left off, calling this Tier the "highest possible" tier within fiction as a whole. However, they fail to acknowledge the existence of inaccessible cardinals which can be used to describe High 1A entities, objects, and structures, therefore warranting an extension to the VSB powerscaling system to account for higher types of large cardinals. Mathematically, this **Tier** can be represented using hyper-inaccessibles (also known as k-inaccessibles), with higher k-inaccessibles being inaccessible to lower inaccessible cardinals. Within many fictional settings and cosmologies, this Tier is already considered "omnipotent" due to most high-tier cosmologies (such as Lovecraft, DC, SCP, and Umineko) only going up to inaccessible cardinals.

### Tier -1

**Tier -1** is the first true "tier" within the Negative Extension of the powerscaling system. This Tier encompasses the upper limits of current, well-defined classical logic, and is also where the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory begin to break down, instead being replaced by more "powerful" set theories such as Morse-Kelley set theory. Within the highest echelons of this **Tier** already lie presences, almighty objects, and concepts that are on the level of **Absolute Infinity** and potential "higher" infinities that follow classical logic.

#### Tier -1C - Metaversal

**Tier -1C** encompasses entities and objects that conceptually and existentially transcend all extensions and analogues of hyper-inaccessible cardinals. As such, they are above an inaccessibly infinite hierarchy of beings more inaccessible than the last, rendering them functionally detached from all lower tiers. Despite this property, they can still be defined and represented by low-tier large cardinals such as Mahlo cardinals.

#### Tier -1B - High Metaversal

**Tier -1B** encompasses entities and objects that are fully irrepresentable using even Mahlo cardinals, and can only be mathematically defined using larger "tiers" of transfinite cardinals such as weakly compact cardinals, indescribable cardinals, and Woodin cardinals. Beginning from this Tier up, characters who claim to be within this tier must have feats, Word of God, or other evidence stating that they are within this tier or higher. This **Tier** is also the limit of even second-order set theories when it comes to describing certain large numbers, and as such, may be defined as the soft "limit" of current mathematics.

#### Tier -1A - High Metaversal+

**Tier -1A** encompasses entities and objects that have conceptually and existentially surpassed all notion of transfinite numbers, effectively being in the level of **Absolute Infinity**. They have, in a way, transcended the very concept of transcendence itself, therefore warranting ever-stronger levels of eclipsing to effectively define higher power levels. This **Tier** is considered the hard limit of current well-defined mathematics, and higher Tiers cannot even begin to be defined using our current logical framework due to their nature of transcending all notions of classical logic and mathematics.

#### High -1A - Omniversal

**High -1A** encompasses entities and objects that have essentially become as powerful/all-encompassing as the **Absolute Set** of all modern mathematics, logic, infinities, axioms, hierarchies, and conceivabilities. Entities of this **Tier** are functionally undefinable and insurpassable using any form of well-defined logical framework, requiring transcendental analogues to fully define this Tier, and by extension higher Tiers. As such, this functionally serves as the **hard limit** of human logic as a whole.

### Tier -2

This **Tier** is where classical logic and modern mathematics simply becomes useless, instead requiring transcendental logic and mathematics to even begin to define. Within this Tier are nestings of **Absolute Sets** within each other, creating an infinite chain of metalogical transcendence eventually culminating in the very limit of the concepts of models and states altogether. As such, this entire **Tier** serves as the ineffable limit of human definability, and from then on, we can only perceive an infinitesimal fraction of what lies beyond.

#### Tier -2C - Low Logoversal

**Tier -2C** encompasses entities and objects that transcend the original **Absolute Set** of all classical logic, mathematics, and conceivability and operate under a completely different Absolute Set that transcends their already-inconceivable state of existence. Entities of this **Tier** are considered functionally **boundless** and almost non-existent to those below this Tier, and as such, **any** form of human logic and mathematics will fail to describe Low Logoversal beings. However, the limit of qualitative language extends higher than this, therefore still rendering them at least infinitesimally definable within the totality of the English language.

#### Tier -2B - Logoversal

**Tier -2B** encompasses entities and objects that operate under varying degrees of transfinite nestings of **Absolute Sets** within each other, with successive sets requiring an evermore transcendental system of logic to fully define. Entities of this **Tier** have partially transcended metalogic due to their nature of dwelling within infinite hierarchies of transcendental sets, theories, and mathematical systems. This **Tier** also encompasses all notions of models, states, and systems due to it's nature.

#### Tier -2A - High Logoversal

**Tier -2A** encompasses entities and objects that have conceptually and existentially transcended the very notion of **Absolute Sets**. As such, they are beyond all models, states, and systems, and therefore are functionally non-existent to lower entities just as High **-1A** beings perceive Low **-2C** beings as non-existent. They have fully transcended all notions, systems, and axioms within metalogic, and would require a new, even more transcendental form of logic (known within the CCRP as patalogic) to even begin to infinitesimally define.

### Tier -3 - Exoversal

**Tier -3** is where one starts seeing infinite, inaccessible, absolute, postfinite, and axiomatic meta-hierarchies of "detachment" from all lower **Tiers**. Because of this, the gap between characters of different sub-Tiers is so immense, that higher and lower characters already perceive each other as inaccessibly less than an infinitesimal grain of below-fiction compared to their ever-transcending master state. It is here that even transcendental forms of logic begin to fail to describe the power of characters of this **Tier**, warranting the fusion of transcendental logic and qualitative language to even infinitesimally define a negative fraction of all higher **Tiers**.

### Tier -4 - Undefinable

**Tier -4** is at the very precipice and absolute zenith of transcendental conceivability and definability, and characters of this **Tier** are the absolute greatest "concepts" that can be indexed, defined, and described even using the strongest forms of catalogic and omnilogic. Because of this, most of the true nature of this **Tier** is what is considered an "unknowable, unwritten truth": this text alone fails to fully define the nature of characters this high up the hierarchy.

### Tier -5 - Indescribable

**Tier -5** is where even qualitative language fails to describe the power of characters within this **Tier**. Entities and objects here are **always** going to be greater than absolutely anything even transcendent beings on axiomatic levels can describe. In essence, this Tier belongs to characters that are "always greater than what is proposed, but still have some set level of power unable to be captured by **any** language".

### Tier -6 - **Boundless**

**Tier -6** is the absolute **limit** of the very concept of power itself; any form of description, definition, or even transcendental forms of the two are infinitesimally **inadequate** when it comes to defining even the tiniest fraction of the true power of **Boundless** entities. This **Tier** is currently considered the absolute highest anything within fiction can go, and will likely remain so for a very long time until a verse somehow manages to exceed even this **Tier** with an even more powerful cosmology and characters.
