#multplicity

[granulesofsand]

Asking myself “who am I?”

Overdone

Existential dread

Results in abstract changes to development and perception of self

Asking my headmates “who am I?”

Underutilized resource

Straight answer

Results in the information I wanted being made available

[anomalymon]

This came up in a conversation with our therapist and we never thought about it too in depth before, but did any other systems play like mental games with each other as kids and experience it as an instant response that felt thoughtless?

Stuff like "think of a word, then think of a word that ends with the last letter of the previous word"

MultipliCity

1.

Wenn "komplexe Gesellschaft", wie Niklas Luhmann in einem Interview nahe legt, der Begriff für eine Gesellschaft ist, die nicht mehr alles mit allem und nicht mehr alle mit allem verbinden kann, deren mangelnde An- und Abschlussfähigkeiten also zugleich als ein Vorübergegangenes ("nicht mehr") gesichtet und greifbar werden sollen, dann ist MultipliCity der Name eines Denkraums, dessen gründliche Linien nicht auschließen, dass jederzeit allem passieren kann, in alles involviert zu werden. Jedem kann passieren, in alles involviert zu werden.

2.

Hier kann alles mit allem verbunden werden und alle können mit allen verbunden werden, auch wenn das, wenn es dann einmal passiert, nie gleichzeitig passiert, schon weil Gegenwart nur durch Manöver dercEntfernung gegeben ist, nur durch Trennung und Assoziation, die Manöver sind. Schon in einem Raum sitzen zwei Menschen nicht zur gleichen Zeit. Liegen sie dort nackt und lieben sie sich nackt, lieben sie sich nicht zu gleichen Zeit, sondern zur selben Zeit und ungleichzeitig, weil sie unterschiedlich viel Zeit brauchten, um in diesem Raum zum Liegen und Lieben zu kommen. Sie brauchten unterschiedliche viel Zeit, um dem anderen nackt vorzuliegen, darum tragen sie noch nackt Ungleichzeitiges in jenen Raum, in dem sie nur zu selben, aber nicht zu gleichen Zeit gegenwärtig sind.

3.

Curb your enthusiasm ist der Name einer Serie, die nicht der komplexen Gesellschaft gilt, sondern einer komischen, in gewisser Hinsicht alchemischen Gesellschaft, deren bester Begriff MultpliCity wäre. MulitpliCity ist nicht komplex, MultipliCity ist kurviert und hat gründliche Linien, die zügig und simple, also einfältig erscheinen.

Joao Tiago Freitas Mendes Forschungen zum Sozialbaren stoßen den Blick auf das Simple und Einfältige multipliziter, nicht komplexer Gesellschaften an. In mulitpliziten Gesellschaften sind Normen sowie ihre pastoralen und urbanen Denkräume koextensiv und kooperativ, sie reproduzieren noch etwas von den Gesellschaften der Stadtstaaten und ihrer Komödien und Tragödien, ihrer Träger und Trachten.

(?) tree > radicle > rhizome <> lattice as a multplicity of recursive patterning through implication.

this ties back into how Parisi understands xeno-patterning, as a becoming of patterns, that no longer deduced from correspondences or recognitions, but incomputable diagonals that cut through as nonsymmetrical in-differentials. this notion of latticology is still new to me

Could I please get a pendulum confirming if I kin a Karkat-swapped Terezi, and if I have any other bloodswap kins aside from my Karkat Pyrope one?

hi anon,

pine says yes you do and!

you have karkats of these blood colors: bronze,gold,jade, indigo, violet, and fushia.

hope that helps!

Sorry, I'm writing this kinda lazily cuz Tumblr lost my entire first attempt with fancy TeX and everything.

WHY?!

SUBTRACTION

Notice: 9 - 4 = 5 -4 + 9 = 5

The negative sign follows the 4, and a plus sign appears in front of the 9. This is because 9 is positive, and + is the positive sign.

But also notice: 9 + (-4) = 9 - 4 = 5 Subtraction IS NEGATIVE ADDITION -- by which we mean, subtraction is addition by a negative number. You can replace literally every subtraction sign with an addition sign and making the number after that addition sign negative.

DIVISION

Notice: 8 ÷ 2 = 4 8 * 1/2 = 8/2 = 4

So dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1/2. 2 and 1/2 are reciprocals. Division is multiplication by a reciprocal.

EXPONENTS

2^3 = 8 2^2 = 4 2^1 = 2 2^0 = 1 2^-1 = 1/2 2^-2 = 1/4 2^-3 = 1/8

Notice that 2^2 and 2^-2 are reciprocals. A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the positive exponent. 2^-2 = 1 / (2^2) This is the way in which division is the "negative" of multiplication.

TERMS

Terms are signed (as in, either positive or negative) groups of factors (things you multiply). All terms add, the same way all factors add. Terms can be repositioned in an expression (Commutative Property of Addition), just like factors can be repositioned in terms (Commutative Property of Multplication)

Commutative Property of Multiplication: 4 * 5 = 5 * 4 Commutative Property of Addition: 9 + 37 = 37 + 9 Using both Commutative Properties: -14 * 6 * 3 + 11 = 11 - 6 * 14 * 3

SUBTERMS and SUPERTERMS

A term inside of a term is a subterm. A term that contains terms is a superterm.

4 * (17 - 5), 17 and -5 are subterms of the superterm 4 * (17-5)

FRACTIONS

The horizontal line that separates the numerator and denominator of a fraction is actually a division sign in disguise. Eight halves is the same thing as eight divided by two. 8/2 = 8 ÷ 2

Numerators and denominators can contain terms, but they are considered subterms. The fraction itself is the superterm.

If you try to convert 9-2 / 3 into a divison problem, and write it as 9-2 ÷ 3, the only thing that would be divided by 3 here is the 2, which is clearly not the right answer. we are dividing 9-2 by 3, and 9-2 is 7. We would show the need to do 9-2 first with parentheses: (9-2)/3

You might also remember "cancellation" in fractions. Can we cancel the 9 with the 3? No. We cancel FACTORS across the fraction line, not subterms.

YOUR PROBLEM?

So, what about this problem? The division sign is ambiguous. We learn that in order of operations, division and multiplication actually happen together because they're technically the same operation. Some people teach that there's a best-practice of always going left-to-right, but that's not really a rule so much as a suggestion.

It all comes down to: this problem is written badly, on purpose, to get internet engagement.

Math nerds how am I fucking up here??

Using order of operations, why is this not 16

Hello, you can call me crow anon.

Im what is considered an "anti-endo" system, now you may be wondering what an endo is and why im against them.

This is not in refferal to fnaf endoskeletons btw!

Endo, or endogenic, is a term made by a group that spreads misinformation about systemhood/plurality/multplicity along with DID/OSDD is most cases. They call it a good faith identity but when so much misinfo and anti-recovery rhetoric is spread its hard to see it as such.

Some misinfo they have spread is; alters "dying", entire systems "restarting" (like, wiping a computer kind of restart), people being able to make systems at a whim, systems being formed past the age they're able to (it varies but the latest ive read from actual sources was 12!), systems forming from bpd and neurodivergencies (not possible as it would be a symptom is it were, however bpd is a disorder commonly comorbid with DID and OSDD), and tulpas ("Thoughtforms" that are appropriated from a closed and dead practice)

I am in no way trying to bring discourse you technically shouldnt be involved in however it would make me and my fellow alters uncomfortable to continue following this blog if it were in support or favor of the group actively against trauma survivors. /gen

* tag as long post if needed!

With love, Crow anon.

I am very well aware of the existence of endogenic systems, but there are some things I didn't know about them here, thanks for educating me a bit more :D

You should be relieved to know that, while I'm in support of most systems, I DO NOT support endogenic systems!!

Like most mental disorders, DID and OSDD are not "quirky" and "fun." There are a lot more things to them than just what you see online, and there are some negatives that every disorder has!

While I'm not against self diagnosis, it's important to know that you should do some in-depth research from trusted sources before diagnosing.

TL;DR: Endogenic systems DNI!

I’ve talked about this before (not on here), but another big point I want to make on things that bother me with “inclusive plural communities” that involve tulpamancers, endogenics, etc. is how dangerously they misinterpret and summarize what being multiple is to others and how that misleads people with DID/OSDD away from even recognizing they have it.

I notice their definitions always boil down to “you are part of this community if you feel you have more than one person in your head” which can mean not only so many things that have zero to do with having a fragmented sense of self that also involve experiences like literally roleplaying, being a writer, kinning, or imaginary friends (which is another discussion), but it also is extremely misleading for what a lot of people with DID/OSDD experience.

YES, some of us experience our DID/OSDD as having “others in our head” and those who do are valid, but for most of us, that’s not the main or noticeable symptom because DID is so covert for a lot of us. For us, I only experience my DID with clear cut alters who I can talk to maybe 2% of the time when dissociative barriers are down for a brief period. Otherwise, I went my entire life never knowing anything was wrong. The first time I ever saw the concept of “other selves in your body” even though I was textbook DID I immediately thought “I could never have that, that could never be me” because I did not think I had alters and didn’t ever see them. They were there, but I did not recognize them nor have the tools to so those communities did not feel like they were for me. Eventually I was one of the people who came to terms with my DID through others means: Noticing my time loss, extreme shift in opinions, erratic behavior that led to me seeing a dissociative specialist who was able to diagnose me. But it was NEVER “oh there’s another person hanging out in my head”. In fact most of my alters didn’t make themselves known until AFTER diagnosis when they finally were allowed to acknowledge themselves as separate which we couldn’t do all my life for survival and to keep suspicion down.

AND YET, a lot of these “inclusive plural communities” ONLY fixate on the symptom of alters. All they talk about is the alters, to them, it’s all about the alters. The alters, which are only one symptom and usually the most covert one, are their fixation point and introduction and defining part of their communities to where you feel out of place if you just live your life not constantly talking about it. And that’s where the fetishistic side of it comes in.

Inclusive Plural Communities all define multiplicity/plurality in a way that allows so many who actually are multiple to miss that they are, and so many who aren’t multiple to think that they are. And this is because most of us DON’T have that experience of just having people hang out in our head in whatever that means. There’s hardly any discussions in these spaces on how being multiple affects day to day life and mostly just discussion around their alters, their names names, and how different they are from each other. It’s dangerous, it’s damaging. That is where you know this community is full of people who really, don’t get it.

I’m sick of these communities defining multplicity by JUST the alters. It makes people like me feel isolated to only present like a singlet because that is how my brain hides us. Because when that seems to be all they care about, it’s obvious they have no respect for DID/OSDD and how covert it can be for many and how most of the experiences AREN’T about just talking to people in your head.

It’s sort of hard to articulate myself more concisely, but I think I got my point across.

[alephskoteinos]

This for instance is definitely interesting to consider in light of or parallel with Neoplatonism, even though Neoplatonist philosophers such as Iamblichus and Plotinus still insisted on either hierarchy or higher levels of original unity. And yet, it's Iamblichus' dynamic of prohodos and epistrophe among other things, as well as Damascius' commentary on the simultaneity of unity and multplicity, that allows for such parallel to be possible. Once again, it may be that it is Neoplatonism but not as we know it. It is certainly true, though, that Neoplatonism seems to develop in relationship to or at least in commentary towards the Orphic mysteries (see for instance Proclus' discussion of the "six kings"; Phanes, Nyx, Ouranos, Kronos, Zeus, and finally Dionysus, the sixth one identical to the first).

I think I will definitely need to study/read about Orphism again.
