i would really love to know how Murderbot’s brain is mapped… like just how much is hardware vs neural tissue? how many organic regions of brain does it have?
it seems to have a limbic system, a frontal lobe…
but, like, how much is actually meat vs programming?
Systems with hundreds or thousands of alters are valid.
Nonhuman alters are valid.
Fictives are valid.
Even the research literature on DID has documented these things. But even if you're not traumagenic - YOU ARE STILL VALID.

A few years ago, I was in a discussion about Rinku. Without researching, I thought it was about Okuu x Orin... Aparently the ship name for that one's Okuurin and the conversation was about Vocaloid. X_X
Am I the only one who got this mixed up???
Conlang Panel:
Event Moderator: Sarah Cowett With: Cat Valente, Eljay Rich, Jenny Peterson, Marcus Miles, and Sarah Cowett
Ever wonder what it takes to create a language? Join Sarah and our panelists to discuss the construction and use of conlangs in different fictional and nonfictional settings, and how readers/consumers interact with them. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/6k5wPW--7P0
#crossingscon will take place Aug 15-17, 2025 in Philadelphia, USA. Badges and hotel rooms are available now at crossingscon.org
When I first set out to create a conlang it was as a heartlang to use for expressing myself in journal. However, as it has become more complicated I don't ever know if I'll be able to learn it.
Not only that but I intended to realise that initially I wanted to make it as polysynthetic as possible. However, I've also come to appreciate the beauty of some analytic languages and constructions and am taking a more measured approach.
Conlanging can feel a bit like jazz; it's sometimes about the notes you don't play. Especially when it's sos easy to add EVERY grammatical feature.
I have 14 cases, polypersonal verb agreement, evidentiality markers, topic prominant structure based on pragmatic word order, grammatically marked volition (optional), various clitics, and haven't even gotten started on TAM yet!
