Question about Higher Dimensional Existence

841
413
Character X is said to have evolved into a higher dimension and character Y used a phrase like "he has now transcended this dimension" to confirm this, can character X be 4D without qualitative transcendence?

Such statements like transcendence and evolving into a higher dimension require more proof. This is also mentioned on the FAQ page, where it says that it has to be proved in detail whether such statements are qualified as qualitatively superior or not. Just because it says "higher dimension", you can't take it as qualitatively superior to the lower realms.

Something A being said to "transcend" something B in real life can refer to the former being superior to the latter in some qualities in a notable way, but still roughly compatible. It does not necessarily mean transcendence not in an immeasurable way that would be graphically indescribable, such as A's qualities being superior to B by infinite amounts. With this in mind, statements of realities or beings with transcendence over space & time/the universe/etc., on their own, are not assumed to refer to qualitatively superiority, unless of course further context may elaborate on and contextualize this.

And Firestorm808's explanation:

You can be 10D 100D or even Inf-Dimensional without having qualitative superiority/trancendence between those dimensions. Dimensionality and tiers are two different things now, so yes a 4D being can be 4D without qualitative transcendence.

3D beings cannot perceive it and are unaware of its existence, would this be supporting evidence for HDE?

It depends on what you mean by them not being able to "perceive" him. Is it because he has evolved into another dimension (i.e. no longer exists in the lower realm), or is it directly related to his existence? If it is a direct reference to his existence, that might support it a bit. But for me it is not enough on its own. Although IDK what those more knowledgeable than me would say. But there is a high possibility that they will say that this is not enough
