here's the V&D stance (or at least mine, since i was the one who came up with altarcae in the first place)

an altarca contains a cosmology, but it itself is an element that can be categorized as part of a cosmology, so they can be nested within one another

over on V&D we use the term "barrelplex" to refer to a single altarca, not containing any others necessarily, which happens to include the lower-level structures we define, like the transcentendem or the omniverse and godverses

so in theory you could have something outside our "barrelplex" but still inside the Box, sure

bit redundant though, considering altarca cosmology is confusing and they overlap in weird ways
