::::Right. I mean that in Anastasia's usage above, "metaphysical Time Lord" seems to describe the set of Gallifreyan Time Lords, whereas "political Time Lord" describes the set of both Gallifreyan and non-Gallifreyan Time Lords. To what extent her usage reflects your intention is a different matter. Thinking of it in terms of Gallifreyan and non-Gallifreyan seems helpful to me because I don't think "metaphysical Time Lord" is a useful label for the discussion. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 20:10, 9 May 2023 (UTC) | ::::Right.

That's fair. The question I'm gesturing towards is sort of "at what point, under what conditions does a member of the great houses become entangled with history and the spiral politic on a fundamental level". Is it just being acknowledged as a member of the culture? Being a Gallifreyan? Both? I think there's ambiguity here. But not really important to the fact that I think the categorization is perfectly fine for now. (Also, have you taken a look at my suggestion at [[Talk:God (mythology)]]? Not thrilled with it, but, you know.) [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:26, 9 May 2023 (UTC) |
