What's the deal with: DC Cosmology

[lemonpeace]

hey y'all! So if you noticed by signature you'd probably notice that I have a link to the Duke Thomas wiki I've been working on for a while now. So currently I'm working my way through covering Metahumans, Nth Metal, the Dark Multiverse, etc. and I wanted to do a page where I cover the entire cosmic hierarchy/cosmological landscape so I don't have to make a bunch of different pages for cosmic entities and phenomena that affect the character but aren't directly linked to the character. so I was wondering if you guys could help me out with what's the cosmic hierarchy like now, since Snyder's on-going Metal/Death Metal epic (and I'm sure other smaller stories) has up-rooted and shaken up the cosmic landscape of DC.

DC cosmology is in flux now. Wait till Metal is over.

As far as I understand it
The Presence >
The Hands That Created The Multiverses (Perpetua and her brothers) >
Perpetua's Multiverse (DC) + The Monitor + The Anti-Monitor + The World Forger >
The Dark Multiverse + Barbatos + Old Gods + Oans? >
New Gods + Old Genesis + Apokolips + Council of Eternity >
Olympians + Egyptian Gods + other pantheons >
Homo sapiens + Homo Magi (Atlanteans + The Zataras) + Amazons

Trying to put everything into a single coherent scheme is more trouble than it's worth. I suspect DC themselves are giving up on trying, so the readers should do so too. Just take each new issue as existing in a newly spawned universe that's all its own, and enjoy the story (or not) without worrying about how it "fits in" with everything else.

not to be snide but if you don't know or couldn't follow you, you could've just said "I don't know" or just skip the thread...

thank you for actually answering the question. do you know where do things like Tempus Fuginaut, that weird source bird judge thing, and the Collector from Rise of the New Gods fit into this? I imagine since Collector is from the Overvoid/Omniverse he's probably like a Perpetua-like being, and I think Tempus is probably somewhere around the Oan or Olympian realm; but that bird thing I'm not sure what their deal was.
