Tier System FAQs

## **Introduction**

This page covers Frequently Asked Questions about the Tier System.

## **Does destroying universes with higher dimensions warrant higher tiers?**

No. Destroying Higher Dimensions does not warrant higher tiers. Because energy and mass are the same in all dimensions, it makes no sense to give higher tiers for destroying universes with more than 3 dimensions of space or 1 dimension of time. Infinite energy is the same in all dimensioned spaces.

## **Do characters become Source Level for existing inside a Source Level?**

No. Characters do not get tiers for simply existing in any location. They must show that they are cable of affecting, destroying, or creating a source level.

## **Do infinite hierarchies count as Complex Multiverses?**

Only if they possess uncountably infinite or greater number of universe/worlds/levels/layers.

## **Does viewing a cosmology as fiction warrant a higher tier?**

No. Perspective is not a feat of power. Even if the character in question had full control and power over the cosmology they saw as fiction, they would only scale to that cosmology.

## **Wait! If a character views an entire universe as just a drawing, they don't get a higher tier?**

No. Let's say a character viewed an entire universe as a drawing; there are only three explanations:

1. The universe itself is actually just a drawing and has the tier of a piece of paper. Fiction has unlimited possibilities. An entire paper world can be one of them.

2. The universe actually exists and the drawing is just a proxy. Anyone with the proxy would be able to affect the universe. Including members of the universe it self. Fiction is filled with examples of characters controlling the world with books they found inside the world.

3. Viewing an entire universe as drawing is just the expression of the character's power. They are actively affecting that universe therefore they scale to tier of that universe not above it.

## **Do recursive cosmologies count as Complex Multiverses?**

Yes, if enough detail is given how they work. Recursive cosmologies are cosmologies where worlds exist within worlds. One example would be an infinite universe existing inside a dew drop of another universe. Recursive cosmologies where the sizes of the universe are finite do not count for complex multiverses.

## **Can Qualitative Superiority get higher tiers?**

No. Quality is extremely subjective and unquantifiable. It is impossible to compare between two different medias.

## **Does transcendence give you a higher tier?**

No. Transcendence is not a synonym for destructive power or attack potency. Transcendence means a state of being beyond. If a character transcends a cosmology, that does not mean that character has the power to destroy said cosmology. It doesn't mean that character has any destructive power unless said destructive power has been shown or explicitly stated.

## **What is a Source Level?**

A source level is the most fundamental aspect of a media, and where everything in the media directly or indirectly originates from.

## **How big does a Source Level have to be?**

A source level can be any size, or even no size at all. It can be any structure or location.

## **Can a Source Level be a character or an object?**

Yes, however, they must be self-created. If a character or object formed from the void and then created everything in a media, the void would be the Source Level not the character or object that formed from it.

## **Why is size irrelevant in regard to the Tiering System?**

Size is irrelevant because we do not consider it when tiering feats. A zero dimensional point in space can have infinite mass and the same amount or even greater energy to destroy than something that is infinitely bigger than it (a spacetime). VS battling spaces have gotten this idea that bigger is better and more superior. That is not true in reality, and it is certainly not true in fiction. A smaller space can be superior. A smaller space can take more power or energy to destroy than something bigger.

## **Isn't an Infinite Universe the same as an Infinite Multiverse?**

No. While the Multiverse is a concept that exists within fiction and many scientific theories and hypothesis, it is not something that has ever been observed in real life. We have no idea what the nature of a multiverse is, or what the boundary between two universes would look like or how things like energy or physics would play in regards to them. However, we will be assuming that the distance or "space" between universe is an indefinite interval. This is a distance that infinite power cannot filled and a hypothetical level of power is needed. To destroy an infinite multiverse, a character must encompass an infinite amount of these indefinite intervals.

## Why isn't the space between individual multiverses an indefinite interval?

They are indefinite intervals. However due to the nature of infinity, the number of indefinite intervals between infinite universes is also the same number of indefinite internals between infinite individual multiverse.

## Can a work of media have a meta level without an infinite multiverse?

No. The point of a meta level is to give credence to structures within fiction that are depicted as being above the power of an infinite multiverse that isn't a source level nor an entire complex multiverse.
