Talk:Gold Experience Requiem/@comment-28977069-20160710132233

I have a theory as to why Gold Experience's original power; giving 'life' to things, which allows Giorno to slow down one's senses and turning an inanimate object to a living thing becomes Nullification of Effects when it got Requiem'd.

Basically, it involves metaphysical/conceptual math. Giorno is able to reverse the transformation that he caused, yes? Which means that its power is dual-layered, he can give 'life' and take it away, thematically fitting for someone whose father's name means 'God' in Italian.

Now simplify that power to numerical value of just 1 and 0. An inanimate/inorganic object is worth 0 while a living thing/organic object is worth 1, which means that when Giorno transforms something into a living thing, its value is now 1 and when he gave 'life' to a living thing, its value is now 2, hence the 'overloaded with life' that slowed one's senses, it was too much for the body to handle.

So with that logic, the Arrow enhanced not its power, but the concept that is the base of its power. Now simplify 'effect' into a numerical value of just 1 and 0 like written above, with it being valued at 1, and it makes sense as to why GER can null an effect, because its influence on 'adding and removing value' has been augmented, it can now affect things that it didn't give life to in the first place and it can also affect something that is 'given' or 'inflicted' to it or Giorno in return. Its influence has also been augmented, as now it doesn't just have a grasp over 'life' but also over 'reality' itself, thus any effect directed at GER and/or Giorno-which, when simplified into a number, has an inherent value of 1-will have its value removed, making its value 0 and thus nullifying it. However, I think this also means that, since the basis of its pre-Requiem power of 'giving/adding and taking/removing' is dual-layered, Giorno can use GER to do much more than just nullifying an effect.

That's my way to make GER's change in power when GE got Requiem'd sound sensible, but in the process I think I also made it sound even more powerful. Anyway, what do you think? Does it make sense?
