Can a character be both a "concept of A" and A itself?

This character is a concept of fire (with all the attributes that make this concept a concept type 1), but later in the story it is stated that he is the fire itself. So is this an "anti-feat" to his AE1 concept?
 
Yes, since Concept of A is what made, define A, so literally, if you are concept of A, then you are also A itself
 
No, i don’t believe that is an anti-feat. If they follow the requirements for any of the three types of concepts, then they are concepts.

But I think there will be a problem:
Normally, when all the flames are destroyed into nothingness, the concept of fire will still exist.
But if the concept of fire = fire. When all the flames become nothingness, the concept of fire still does not disappear, even though he is also fire - which should have disappeared along with the other flames.
So is this an "anti-feat"?

Then that means he is Type 3 concept. But it may be an antifeat yes. It can't be type 1 or 2.

If he is a concept that is destroyed when all of fire in existence is, then that is an anti-feat for type1 concepts.

I remember this being at least type 2.
If he is a concept that is destroyed when all of fire in existence is, then that is an anti-feat for type1 concepts.
In this case he (the concept of fire) is not destroyed when all the fire disappears.
What I wonder is that when he = concept of fire = fire, he still exists when all the fire has disappeared, even though he is fire - which should have disappeared
 
at this point, we need to determine based on feats present in the verse, because if it is just a statement of character X is the concept of A and being A itself, then it isn't the problem

It couldn't be type 2 because the character would be able to come back because fire still exists. Type 2 concepts can only be truly destroyed if the thing they give form to (fire in this case) is completely destroyed across reality.
 
In this case he (the concept of fire) is not destroyed when all the fire disappears.
This would make him a type 1 concept.

You're confusing a concept with its particulars. Fire is just a lesser version of the concept of fire. Fire is not the concept of fire.

Unknown, after breaking free from the seal. He declared himself to be fire and a planet was burned down upon contact with him.
