If you are referring to my earlier posts, it's a working hypothesis, which is not the same thing as an assumption. One is based on following scientific principles, the other is not. Could I be wrong? Yes. Anything can turn out to be wrong when more information becomes known.

There are no scientific principles here. Or at the very least, we don't have enough information on Tier III abilities to be drawing any conclusions or even be making hypotheses. Which is why I said, at the start of this little back-and-forth, that the Tier III abilities could be based on any number of different things. To which you responded "No, it can't be made up of an aspect and a focus because it's an aspect and an aspect is made up of two focuses." Which is not a hypothesis. It's a bunch of assumptions. You're assuming that tier III abilities are aspects, and you're assuming all aspects are made up of two focuses and nothing else.

Again, I'm not sure what your point is here. I was defining what an aspect is in my last post, not discussing how second tier aspects work. What an aspect consists of, again, is straight from D&D, so it's not an assumption.

My point is the one I've been making since the beginning. We can't know that the "Aspect II" will be based on two focuses. Which you seem fixated on.

And no. There are no "aspects" in D&D. You made that up (or, one could say, assumed it).

And for what it's worth:
