Dominion
Where the claims become frankly mythological: weather, distance, matter. These belong to the same Chinese literary tradition that gave Sun Wukong his seventy-two transformations, and this archive treats them as literature rather than as a syllabus.
This band division is editorial. The sources do not group the levels above 4; this grouping follows the classical jing–qi–shen–xu progression to make the claimed path legible.
