I'm personally iffy on it, since it is very weird in verse, but might as well try;

Introduction​

In Extra's Death, there are things called Concepts. They emerge when one reaches an Expert stage of an Element (Fire, Water, Death, etc...), and has their own interpretation on a certain element. Usually, that'll be Type 3 Concept, since nothing else is mentioned, and it's based on interpretation. However, there are a few things that are weird about this.

Domains and Personal Law​

There are things called Domains, Sanctuary, Worlds, etc... It is basically imposing/filling a section of the world with your own energy and Concept, and its higher level, Sanctuary, is basically evolving it into its own separate dimension, separate from the universe itself iirc.

The above reminds me a lot of Cultivation Domains, so I wanted to mention them.

Additionally, Concepts are called "Personal Laws", as in, it is its own law separate from the true universal law. What that means is for them, and their area, the element and stuff are shaped and behave according to their own concept, rather than the universal law. So if someone had a Concept of fire that healed, in his domain and location, all fire will heal instead of damaging.

And what's more, where everything in the world requires mana or world energy to do magical shenanigans, Concepts are different, as they do not require mana or energy to function correctly (although it does increase their strength).

And there is also a statement stating that Concepts manipulate the very laws of the world, which makes sense, since for example, a Fire Element User in his own domain or range will have fire functioning according to his concept, ie they are most likely manipulating the laws of the world (which are considered concept, as things only come to existence once a law of it has been made)

There is also another Domain, called "World", which is an entirely separate world that is not related at all to the main world, and anything that happens inside does not affect the outside world. It is a much higher evolution (that also requires stronger existence, since the worlds are large as shit), and we are shown that while concepts are initially weak in Worlds (not domains, keep that in mind), they still state that it tries to shape the world. This fits with the definition of Type 2 Concept, where it shapes the entire reality in its area of influence, in this case being a domain, sanctuary, world, or just their senses.

All of these remind me of Cultivation Domains, where characters put forth their domain, and the Dao inside functions accordingly to their interpretation of it, which is exactly what is happening here.

All in all, with the scans above, I'm proposing making Concepts Type 2, rather than just Concept Type 3, since they are similar to conventional type 2 concepts, can shape reality, manipulate the laws, do not require mana or any energy to function, and changing them would change everything related to it inside the world. I'm not sure how to prove concept type 1, so that'd be left as it is for now.

P.S If something/concept that governs a person, also contains all of these concepts (along with everything else), would that make said concept type 2 or nah?

Tl;dr​

Make concepts type 2 instead of 3, since they shape the world, manipulate the laws, and change everything related to the concept according to their interpretation. This will apply to Neo Hargraves for now. Oh and, Intent/Seed of Existence will be Type 2 as well due to governing said Concepts.

Agree (3): @BestMGQScalerEver, @Super_Nova, @Vietthai96
Disagree (0):

Though those above scans is enough. This is fine i guess
I think it's this
Stage 4 Gods began weaving their elements, Concepts and Laws into their worlds, but the laws they created were weak, and couldn’t shape reality in meaningful ways.

Their Worlds were only extensions of their Concept, nothing more.

Stage 5 Gods strengthened their World with Resonance Energy.

This increased the strength of their element, and the Concept.

But still, the laws inside their world were fragile, and barely noticeable.

This changed at Stage 6.

The world of Stage 6 God had its own laws.

It was a [Complete World] that worked on the laws, Concept, and elements of its God.
 
Oke i guess, seem like both Law and Concept hax
Yeah, similar to the Universal Law, they are both a Law, and a Concept (since concepts manipulate the laws, and are laws of themselves in a way). Also, fixed the scan.

Now, I think only 1 more staff vote is needed.
 
Also, if the Concepts are considered Type 2, then the Seed of Existence, which contains everything about a person, including the Concepts, that would make it Type 2 as well, no? Or maybe still Type 3 but of a different nature?
 
Btw shouldn't seed of existence be type 1 with this? Since it's the self-definition of a being, and exists independently of a persons Concept, body, mind, soul whatever being destroyed.
 
Maybe? I mean it contains the Concepts, but I'm not sure if it can be Type 1 since it isn't exactly a universal law or smth.

Oh is this that thing you linked me a while back? Yea, it should be type 1

The body participates from a self-determined, independent and immutable source. That’s Type 1
 
So peak

Also, bump
The Intent was made from a fundamental self-definition of the being.
I’m really not sure what this could be aside from Type 1 when it’s literally the what-it-is of any existence.

I have no context on the verse so idk but I can see it scaling high depending on how it’s implemented or interacts in the verse. But I’ll leave that to @BestMGQScalerEver

The scan says "the being," not "beings," which means each being has their seed of existence, which still makes it a Type 3 concept. It is the reason why I kept saying the thing in question needs to be the what-it-is-ness of something on a universal level.

Nah, it wouldnt, since the concept in question does not govern those things, since it is the concept of being-ness, so you would need to prove that when they said “being,” they meant it in plural. That one singular concept governs multiple beings.

It is a concept of identity. The universality is resolved by virtue of [the being] having to participate in it’s universal no matter the condition or location of it’s instance.

If there is a universal of stars but only a single star exists in the entire universe, does that make it CM3? Or a universal for a single type of star, instead, is that CM3?

The [universal of humanity] is just as much CM1 as the [universal of Aristotle] is.

This is not the case of a soul/essence, the Intent is the definition itself. All aspects merely participate in it. In that sense, it is completely a universal. You’re mistaking how broad the concept is for its scale—they’re unrelated.

Though, maybe there’s some site standards that don’t allow this. But I wouldn't know.

The only contradiction to this btw would be if two separate instances of the same existence participate in different Intent’s. But, I alr said I haven’t read this series so I wouldn’t know.
 
Not sure what participating in different intent means here. As in, two characters having the different intent, despite having the same existence? Ie something like a clone or smth?

Let’s take Aristotle for example.

If both Aristotle of the past and Aristotle of the present both in a sense have the exact same Intent, then it is 110% CM1. If not, then I’m more willing to say CM3 (well, CM2 due to upscaling).
 
Eh, if there’s nothing in the series regarding this topic then something like “possibly Type 1” might be ok. But if there is, it can definitely sway the interpretation one way or another.

Nope.

Being the definition itself is the same as being the essence itself, and what you said above does not apply to this verse without context. Right now, the seed governs the entire existence (all aspects) of its particular . A Type 3 concept needs to govern the existence of its particular in order to qualify, so no.

For what you said to apply, there needs to be context. Even if we take one character who currently exist (Naruto, as an example), it must be explicitly stated that it governs all Xs (all Narutos).
Though, maybe there’s some site standards that don’t allow this. But I wouldn't know.
Yeah, they don’t allow it. If they did, sources in Demon King Academy would already be type 1 concepts, since sources are concept of existence of a being and making the being what it is. The being’s existence includes soul, body, and mind.

I already laid out this issue in the above comments.
 
CM2 still should be fine though right? Because they still govern a type 2 concept. A type 3 governing a type 2 just sounds very odd.
What do you mean by governing? If it has control over them, it will be a Type 3 concept with CM2 manipulation. If it is making multiple Type 2 concepts, "what they are "then It is Type 2.

Concepts are necessarily governed and sustained by the person self-definition (a necessary condition for their Concept to exist) because their Concept which acts as a universal exists as a part of their very being.

And for Nameless Death, who didn't just devour the physical, but also Existence and Consciousness, it meant he could recreate anything.


People. Skills. Attacks. Concepts.


He could replicate anything and everything perfectly. -Ch 590
A scan that helps corroborate this. Ones "Existence" (the intent stuff) encompasses ones Concepts in a necessary-to-existence sort of way. A person can also have multiple Concepts for themselves.
The contents of one's existence were their memories, techniques, Concepts, physical strength, soul, and everything else that came together to complete one's existence.

-Ch 553
Also this
