I was trying to quantify these powers while creating an OC, and thought of a possible way to resolve the conflict between them (i.e. can a user of Absolute Access get to an Omnilocked location?).

All places have an access threshold of X. All people have an access capability of Y. If X > Y, access is denied. If X = Y or X < Y, access is obtained.

Absolute Access has an access capability where Y is infinite. No matter what the value of X, users of this power will have X < Y, so they can gain access to the place in question.

Omnilock is outside of existence itself, so it's not actually a place. It has an access threshold where X is undefined. We don't know if X > Y, X = Y, or X < Y.

Thus, even if Y is infinite, we don't know what X is, so we can't complete the equation. It's not that Absolute Access falls short of the Omnilocked location, it's that the power doesn't work at all.

The only way to reach an Omnilocked location is through Omnipotence, etc., because then you can just ignore the system entirely.
