Tier A / Type A:
This page is concerning discussion on the particular "Tier A" of the Non Linear Tiering System. Please advice to read the main thread here. Click here.
Non-Linear, Indeterminate Power, Un-Additive, Subtractive, Perfect Power
To understand what this tier is, understand the writer's notion of "Linear Power".
What I call "Linear Power" is the sum concept of "Adding more = Better" powers that operate on Additive Power.
The concept of Dimensional Tiering, Cosmology Tiering or Cardinal Tiering, the idea of adding more values, the idea of a Hierarchy of Addable Values of any Cardinal Axiom , that can be endlessly added with no end point going upward.
So what is Tier-A then?
Tier-A is a deepness of Metaphysics so deep beyond any notion of Additive Power, or Imperfect Values.
As such, cannot be measured by Any Cosmology Tiering or "Attack" Potency. Nor "Linear Power".
Tier-A is defined by not being "Linear Power" to reach this level, no level of adding infinities, omegas, ordinals nor any addable, expandable to, axiom, can ever reach this.
A Tier-A is an entity that wields, embodies, or is allied to "phenomenon" that is completely conceptually transcendent to not only all levels of Linear Power, but all Lineages of Linear Power. Including Metaphysical ones.
Tier-A a quality that exists completely outside of adding any value to reach, as such, characters are so metaphysically indifferent to the concept.
These Characters whose essence are so deeply within the realms of Pataphysics and the Metaphysics to Metaphysics, that no level, quality or lineage of Cosmology or Linear Power "Cardinal Infinity" or "addable power" can ever reach them.
- Most qualities of Space-Time, and Conceptual Dimensions, even Conceptual Time, mean nothing to entities like these.
- These characters are usually, "perfectly" Platonic Conceptual beings, users of Essence of Absolute Dualities and Dichotomies of Conceptual power or beings who are completely immune to any level of Linear Power.
- Usually, these include characters that perceive any quality and quantity of Value or "Infinity" as shadows. Or entities who are Completely Transdual to Reality/Fiction dichotomy or whom are the Fundamental Archetypes of "Perfect" Platonic Archetypal Concepts that fundamentalize all forms of Metaphysics.
- Such characters are not "Outerversal" as that is useless in the system.
- Some characters may not have a True Attack Potency at all.
The most powerful Tier-A characters may be "Truly Nigh-Omnipotent"
Not all the time... but these entities are way too unscalable by any level or lineage of Cosmology or Linear Power Hierarchy that one may only measure them by how distant they are from Omnipotence, how much "minor" limitations they are away from it. Or their relationship... to the Boundless.
One example of an Indeterminant who is truly Nigh-Omnipotent is Boundless Void Spectre, when he merged with the Presence and became one with the Oversoul, to the Brahman.
Such characters also actively derive their power from a Boundless, Supreme "Archetype". Justifying their power. As such, we may not use "Dimensional Tiering" or any type of "Linear Outerverse Tiering".
These characters are also eligible for Subtractive Limitations Tiering.
To sum, you can never use "Bigger Cardinals Infinities" tiering for these characters.
A good explanation of how Tier-A is absolutely unreachable by Cardinal Tiering or Ordinal, Omega Tiering and any level of "Upward addable infinity" tiering is the discussion between myself and @senior_nepuko in the original Dynamic Tiering System's FIRST, SECOND and THIRD pages of the thread here.
Other Notes:
The Proposition of a Tier-S, invalidated
Tier-S has been removed in the Dynamic Tiering System's new "Non-Linear Tiering System" second stage, renamed incarnation.
For theatric reasons, next that so few little characters would qualify for the tier in the previous definitions (even less than Omnipotents) that there would be no point to it.
Hierarchies based on Imagination, Concepts & Metaphors is not eligible for Tier A
Tier A is power that is so deep, it can only be measured by one's own subtractive limitations to the Boundless Source.
Or concepts that operate as Absolutions, regardless of level, additive, and are the expression of the Boundless's Filters to Lower Creations like World of Darkness Platonic Concepts.
Hierarchies that are based on increasing Conceptual Power, Conceptual Will, or Imagination through Metaphysical means, even if the hierarchy is not based on Raw Power/Energy/Physics, is still Linear Power, but an expression of it and the most high quality Linear Power system.
