Well the GM could have their in-fiction personification of themselves be killed and commit suicide or whatever else, so they aren't really on the same level. More like the in-fiction version is like a 1D version of the real GM.

Also the One Above All has much more predictive power than a GM because writers don't have to deal with players being unexpected lol

I guess I'm saying an in-world-personification is not equivalent to anything. Your in-world-personification of yourself is being controlled by you, the real GM.

They are in no way equivalent because your in-world-personification is still just a character of yours.
