Tiering System

From The Codex

Explanation

Our tiering system is based on dimensional hierarchical tiering. This considers different dimensions in a hierarchical scale, with lower dimensions having a lower level on the scale and higher dimensions having a higher level. Do note in this context dimensions are not in reference to the vector and scalar axis but the uncountably infinite higher size attributed to reaching a higher level of hierarchy.

Since 3-dimensional characters are the most prevalent throughout all of fiction and we understand the energy levels in the 3rd dimension (due to existing in it), the 3rd dimension is split into many levels encompassing the majority of this system. This ranges from below the energy level of an average human to infinite 3-dimensional energy.

After 3-dimensional energy levels there are 4-dimensional levels. Note that while we can't quantify the energy of the 4th dimension, we can scale it in layers of multiple 4-dimensional spaces. This ranges from a singular 4-dimensional space to infinite 4-dimensional spaces, before reaching the 5th dimension.

From the 5th dimension onward, due to there being so many dimensions needing to be encompassed in this scale, we don't consider the amount of x-dimensional spaces per level, and only scale it off of the higher axis. This also works well in fiction, as not many verses consider the amount of spaces on dimensions of these levels, but rather the fact that characters can exist within or destroy them.

This is important to repeat, dimensions in this case are not referring to scalar or vector quantities so in most cases of fiction a person being from a specific dimension even if proven spatial will not grant them a tier. This is due to it using the scalar or vector quantities of dimensions and not our hierarchical dimensional tiering.

The scale culminates in characters transcending dimensional hierarchy, who we fittingly scale via layers of transcendence. All possible levels of power are included within our tiering system due to the lower/higher/transcendent dimension ratios being as broad as they are.

3-A: Universe level

This category is separated in the following manner:

  • Universe level: Characters who can destroy all of the physical matter within an observable universe at full power. More specifically, usually via an explosion or omnidirectional energy blast that encompasses all of the stars and planets within a universe.
  • Universe level+: Characters who have an infinite degree of 3-dimensional power. This can alternatively apply to characters who have done a 4th dimensional feat on a less than universal scale, such as creating a 4D space the size of a town. Do note that 4D in this instance is a 4th spatial dimension and not just a 4th dimensional space-time less then universal in scale such as a pocket dimension. 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.

Tier 2: Hyperspatial

2-C: Complex Universe level

This category Complex Universe level: ("2-C") This is for characters who can control, destroy and/or create the entire 4-dimensional space-time of a single universe, not just the physical matter within one. For example, an entire timeline. This deals with the more complex parts of the cosmological setting of a single universe.

2-B: Multiverse level

  • Low Multiverse level ("Low 2-B"): Characters who can control, destroy and/or create a multiverse with a definable size. The power difference between 2-C and Low 2-B characters is not possible to exactly quantify, given that the latter category has to breach the distance between universes along a 5-dimensional axis.
  • Multiverse level ("2-B"): Characters who can control, create and/or destroy countless numbers of universes. This multiverse is of undefined size.
  • High Multiverse level ("High 2-B"): 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.

2-A: High Multiverse level+

This category High Multiverse level+ ("2-A"): Characters who are above the standard hierarchy of a 4-D Multiverse, otherwise being known as a 5-dimensional being. These characters can destroy and/or create 5-dimensional space-time constructs. Characters who can destroy and/or create an uncountably infinite number of universes may potentially also be assigned this tier, as their geometrical 5-D size can be higher than 0.

Tier 1: Hierarchical Magnitudes

1-C: Complex Multiverse level

These are characters that exist within higher hierarchies of reality. In terms of infinitely superior dimensions these characters would be 6-11-dimensional characters. One above the standard hierarchy of a 5-D multiverse can logically easily destroy a more than countably infinite number of 5-dimensional space-time continuums, and higher hierarchical characters extend further beyond.

This category is separated in the following manner:

  • Low Complex Multiverse level: Characters who exist beyond the standard hierarchy of a 5-D multiverse. Essentially being comparable to 6-dimensional characters. Characters can go beyond even this level of hierarchy however reaching comparable power to a 7-dimensional character. Do note for characters that reach the level of a 7-dimensional character, they should receive the rating Low Complex Multiverse level+ to differentiate the levels of hierarchy the characters are on.
  • Complex Multiverse level: Characters who exist beyond the previous layered reaching comparable, 8-dimensional and 9-dimensional characters. Alternatively ones that are positioned at an unknown/unspecified level within this category. 9-dimensional characters should receive the rating Complex Multiverse level+ to differentiate the levels of hierarchy the characters are on.
  • High Complex Multiverse level: Characters who exist beyond the previous layered reaching comparable power 10-dimensional and 11-dimensional characters. 11-dimensional characters should receive the rating High Complex Multiverse level+ to differentiate the levels of hierarchy the characters are on.

1-B: Transverse level

These are characters that exist beyond the complex multiversal scale hierarchy, being comparable in power to 12-dimensional beings and above.

Under our system of dimensional hierarchy a 12-dimensional character is more than countably infinite number of times greater than a High 1-C character, 13-dimensional characters and so on are higher into the hierarchical system reaching higher levels of uncountably infinite.

This category is separated in the following manner:

  • Low Transverse level: Characters who existed beyond the complex multiversal hierarchies ranging in power comparable to 12-dimensional characters all the way to 26-dimensional characters.
  • Transverse level: Characters who exist beyond the previous hierarchies, existing in a finite amount of hierarchies having power comparable to one who is above a 26-dimensional character.
  • High Transverse level: Infinite-dimensional Hilbert space characters.

Take note that even if a character is transcending an infinite-dimensional space, or similar, it would still usually only qualify for High 1-B. They would need to conceptually embody the concept of dimensions itself.

1-A: Transcendent level

Characters that exist beyond or can affect a realm beyond an uncountably infinite stack of hierarchies. This is something completely formless, abstract, metaphysical and transcendental. Such beings can not be affected by destruction within the dimensions of time and space, or physical matter and energy. Within such a hierarchal "space", a hierarchal structure with any number of uncountably infinite hierarchies can be placed.

Note that all tier 1-A characters have qualitative superiority over uncountably infinite hierarchal structures and concepts. Also, mere capability to exist in a such a structure does not qualify a character for this tier. This in essence means a character is able to travel in the realm, naturally existing in said realm does qualify for Beyond-Dimensional Existence.

This category is separated in the following manner:

  • Transcendent level: Characters that are beyond all uncountably infinite hierarchal scale.
  • Transcendent level+: Characters that extend infinitely upon infinitely upon baseline transcendent level. Normally these characters are the middle of a large uncountably infinite hierarchy of transcendent level people, being uncountably infinitely beyond the baseline transcendent structure.
  • Meta-Transcendent level: Characters that are extremely powerful compared to other characters within this category, and whose power by far exceeds the regular requirements for tier 1-A along with 1-A+. Take note that being immeasurably superior to a regular 1-A+ character, does not automatically make another character qualify for a High 1-A rating. The ones that do qualify would recurrently be equivalent to Tier 0 characters, if not for the presence of one such being within their respective franchises, and/or some minor limitation (in strength). 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 1-A+ characters in the same manner that they exceed beings bound a 1-A character and the 1-A character exceeds High 1-B.

Tier 0: Boundless

0: Boundless

Beings that boundlessly exceed everything on every level within their respective franchises and every hierarchy, which include any Meta-Transcendent beings, Transcendent beings, existence and non-existence, possibility, causality, contradiction, dualism and trans-dualism, concepts, hierarchies and their analogues at any level. Boundless beings are on top of everything within their respective franchises and their existence are completely featless and impossible. They cannot be compared nor contrasted with each other as there is no feasible way to measure their strength, not even their size can be measured as them being "infinitely big" as they are beyond any form of mathematical understanding or measure, "infinity" is nothing to them and a concept they are far beyond (though a character describing them as such due to a lack of comprehension of the being will not contradict said beings tiering). Take note the difference between a Meta-Transcendent being and a Boundless being is so high that it goes beyond the difference between a Meta-Transcendent being and a Transcendent being.

Note: If the said being isn't on top in their verse or are surpassed by other beings then they aren't tier 0. There can also not be more then one tier 0 as this would imply their is something to combat it's power when it's power is not remotely measurable beyond any form or extent. There should also be no real weakness for the being as that would imply there is still some form or concept they're bound by. "Weaknesses" such as not being omnipresent or omniscient do not count however.


Important Notes

  • Do note that having theories such as String theory does not automatically give a High 1-C cosmology. In the standard models of string theory the dimensions are compact to an extremely small scale and not uncountably infinitely higher dimensions, for it to reach High 1-C the dimensions would need to be proven uncountably infinitely larger than the last.
    • Do also note that concepts such as platonic concepts are not automatically 1-A nor any tier. Platonic Concepts are concepts, which are not tangible or tierable and thus they have no place on the tiering system.
  • Another thing to note that the tiering system and a character’s dimensionality are not interchangeably connected. One can have far higher dimensionality while also having a far lower tier then expressed. For example Jeem (Hydlide) is listed as possibly 6-D dimensionally but he is physically 7-C at his peak. This should also note that the inverse can happen, one can still be 3 dimensional with higher dimensional power.
  • Please do also note the destruction of something does not equate to its namesake. While destroying a city can be city level there are times where it could be higher or lower depending on the method of destruction.
  • Being stronger than a 2-C or your previous 2-C form does not grant you Low 2-B alone. It is impossible to quantify the numerical gap between each one of the subtiers in Tier 2 due to the distance between any given number of universes is currently unknowable. This also goes for being "infinitely" stronger then 2-C too, that does not grant you High 2-B. The same with a 2-B being infinitely stronger.
  • According to the first version of the definition of the Hausdorff dimensions, one easily sees that the dimension of the unification of countably infinite n-dimensional objects is also a n-dimensional object. Or in other words, stacking countably infinite objects together never reaches a higher-dimension.
