Yeah, reddit brainrot is already showing too.
Filled with uninformed kids who only care about power scaling.
Anyway, do you plan on making profile for crooked beetle?

The Crooked Beettle is one of the Elemental Spirits. I was thinking of just making a single page for all of them.

I see.
If I remember correctly, isn't crooked beetle also somekind of avatar of White light?
- 14,681

Maybe. He is stated to be the "Cosmos" just like the White Light, so it could be a manifestation of it inside the cosmology.

Possibly. It's not clear that the White Light is directly using the Beetle as a puppet.

Ruckerverse Revision: Low 1-A
While High 1-B was already accepted in this thread, I was told it was probably better to make a new thread just for Low 1-A (or higher, depending on how people evaluate the evidence), so here it is. Mount On/Cimon Mount On is a physical mountain of Absolute Infinite size: Jesus smiled. I...

Nah, it's a reference to this
It's a place where you can find tunnels that lead to alephs and inaccessible cardinals

I know what Hillbert's Hotel is, I articulated my question terribly, I wanted to ask where would Hillbert's space be on the map? Right beside Hillbert's Hotel or somewhere else?

Hilbert spaces arent mentioned to exist in Cimon, but if they do they are probably in Mount On.

Do you maybe know from what book this is from?
Contradictions are logically impossible,” I explained. “A universe containing contradictions cannot exist.”
“Glub gazork,” said the mermaid. And then she did something very strange. She lifted up her arms and…didn’t lift up her arms. At the same time. She winked/smiled at Harry/me. The sprite pinched my cheek with both hands. Yet at the same time she was tickling Harry.
“You see?” said the gnome. “Who are you to tell the universe what it can do.

Is the white light a pantheistic god?.
I found this on discord. i'm not that knowledgeable about the ruckerverse.(so i don't know is this is a real scan from a canon book.) Is this supposed to be taken seriously or just a "theory".
"This river," said Dee slowly, "it's been here for hundreds of years. It'll be here for hundreds more."
"We could live in this cave," observed Conrad. "Build fires and catch fish."
"Not in the winter."
"Do you believe in God, Dee?"
"Don't you?"
"I don't think so. Not really. Not like in church, anyway. Maybe the universe is God?"
"That's called pantheism. Everything fits together into a whole, and that Whole is God."
"That's like my own theory." Conrad explained about death and the life force.

So was this dude on to something or on something.
So he argue that TWL can't be tier 0 Because:
[TWL has no superiority in his verse, because he is classified as a Pantheistic God, meaning he is the universe, humans, animals and other creations. It is said to be "absolute" but because of that, TWL makes all of its creations absolute, meaning it has no superiority.]
This can be consider as a headcanon right?.

As far as I understand, monadic totalities are a wholeness/oneness while still considering everything as illusionary (Everything is God but the divine essence is ultimately dettached from the attributes of its creation), so it's not really an antifeat. Specially since, at its core, the cosmology is merely the White Light's thoughts. And it's beyond distinctions and definitions, so you cannot really attribute the White Light to its creations in any case. It's evidently way more than just a "The universe is God" situation.

Why everyone says "Transreal Trilogy was made for powerscaling"? I've read first book "The Secret of Life" and it's basically satire about religion and sex, and protagonist have something like canonical plot armor, he can fly or change size if his life is in danger. It sounds very non-powerscaling. Author goes insane after his first book or people just delusional?

I think it's because Rucker is pretty explicit when it comes to higher dimensions, infinities, and mysticism (because he is both a mathematician and sci-fi enthusiast), which normally gets a pretty high tier on any tiering system.
But the thing is, Ruckerverse is a very old verse. The White Light novel, for example, is from 1980. Thus, the verse predates every powerscaling site. So saying it the verse was made for powerscaling is just misinformation or lies.

I know it's old verse, but what book have the most craziness so people started to saying it's made for powerscaling? As I know, Transrealist have 37 books. I'm just wondering what specific moment led them to these thoughts.

I started read "White Light" book and yeah... I now understand people who said that it's made for powerscaling. But I like this surreal absurdism.
