Summary

Absolute Infinity is an idea proposed by mathematician Georg Cantor, which is meant to be an extension of the idea of Infinity and is said to be an infinity so vast in quantity that no other quantity or amount of sets could reach it's magnitude of size and scope. Cantor thought of Absolute Infinite as a number so big that no conceivable or inconceivable quantity, either finite or transfinite is comparable to it.

According to Cantor, this is what best describes Absolute Infinity.

The actual infinite was distinguished by three relations: first, as it is realized in the supreme perfection, in the completely independent, extra worldly existence, in Deo, where I call it absolute infinite or simply absolute; second to the extent that it is represented in the dependent, creatural world; third as it can be conceived in abstracto in thought as a mathematical magnitude, number or order type. In the latter two relations, where it obviously reveals itself as limited and capable for further proliferation and hence familiar to the finite, I call it Transfinitum and strongly contrast it with the absolute.

How Is This Treated On-Site

Simply put, Absolute Infinity taking a face value would mean that a character scales to a value that is beyond anything else on the cite. Whatever set of cardinals, ordinals or degrees of infinity one could bring would be inadequate in relation to Absolute Infinity's scope and sheer magnitude. When taking to it's absolute extreme, it would scale above anything else on the tiering system short of any other character or thing that scales to Absolute Infinity. For our intensive purpose, treating it the way that was previously described would mean that anyone who scales to Absolute Infinity would be 1-A Ω.

However, for our intensive purposes, the act of scaling to Absolute Infinity doesn't scale to 1-A Ω inherently and on this site, it will be treated as being whatever cardinals or ordinals are explicitly mentioned in the verse. This is done to prevent fallacious argumentations of asserting things that aren't clear cut applicable to a cosmology and thus falling under the realm of assumption. Furthermore, there can NEVER be anything beyond Absolute Infinity in the context of the setting otherwise it contradicts the most basic proposal of what Absolute Infinity is, meaning that if there's something above it then it's not considered true Absolute Infinity on the site.

In the case there is a contradiction, this doesn't necessarily disqualify it from upscaling from the cosmology but it won't be treated as Absolute Infinity as opposed to just another level atop the cosmology. So in order words, it will be treated as just another set and not beyond all extensions of a set or a particular level of the cosmology itself.
