#fractal system

[unique-plural]

Unique plural experience is most if not all of you being subsystems that pass as singular headmates cause members inside those subsystems are just so similar to each other that it's easier that way

Our friend even made a label for us to describe it X3 Fractal system!!! We're like like fractals

That's so cool!! Fractal sounds like a sleek name too actually. Hope you don't mind but I'll be tagging this with your friend's label.

High headcount + fractal system culture is not adding most subsystems' members separately in simply plural and adding 1 subsystem as 1 headmate

high headcount & fractal culture is...

Bookshelf Tour: Dark Vigil Quickstart

At 2:13pm on March 15th 1839, there was an eclipse. This eclipse never ended.

The eclipse brought with it supernatural, baleful darkness, corrupting people and animals into monstrous reflections of their former selves. Most people keep to the towns and cities, surrounding massive lanterns burning spirit oil to keep the dark at bay. A bold and/or foolhardy few venture beyond the walls to gather resources their community desperately needs. These people are known as venturers, and our player characters join their ranks.

Welcome to this supernatural vision of the 1800s: Dark Vigil!

Dark Vigil's world immediately reminds me of one of my favourites- the world of Blades in the Dark. The atmosphere is very similar but the focus on travel beyond the cities brings greater certainty that you will be irrevocably changed by your experiences.

I had the pleasure of trying out this game at Chaosium Con Melbourne, with the game designer herself as my GM. I played a sunny and optimistic alchemist named Miss. Her optimism got her into some serious trouble when she sought the aid of a creature of the dark in passing through an abandoned city. She was almost lost to the dark, her corruption metre one step away from retiring her to mutated NPC status. Before that could happen she was killed by a massive eldritch wolf. She only returned to life because of a bargain: one which required her to leave the door to safe haven open when we reached it...

While this book is labelled Quickstart, it is a comprehensive guide to running and playing Dark Vigil. As well as rules for creating characters and playing the game, it contains a short adventure with five pre-generated characters for those seeking a quick entry point into the game.

Introduction

About us/the blog: We're a polyfragmented DID system that recently realized we're modular and even more recently that we're fractal. Due to our inherent isolation from the plural community(especially from other dissociative systems) and the lack of resources and written accounts from other modular systems, we're starting this blog. Sharing our story and experiences is also part of us trying to heal so cvnt on thattt too

We're in DID therapy. Our brain has audhd and PNES amongst other things, and those play major roles in how our modularity works and presents.

Our system has no individual alters nor fragments, however we've named different clusters and patterns. Plural they/them is preferred when referring to us, but when referring specifically to the host cluster, we use she/her and the name Basil.

Bodily we're a transgirl, adult, and from an eastern european country. We don't expect to vent about our trauma history, but also let's be real, one isn't the most likely to be like us if OEA wasn't involved, at least imo..

Terminology we use: To aid us in understanding and communicating our experiences, we've coined several terms that we'll use throughout this blog: Particle - that's what we call the smallest 'base' dissociative parts of the system. They have no sense of self, hold only one very particular trait/memory/sensation/etc, and feel unique to our modularity rather than like fragments non-modular systems might experience Flare - when multiple(usually dozens) of particles come together and merge, the result is a flare. It's a temporary type of system member that exists to fulfill a particular purpose or because of a trigger. once their work is done (may take milliseconds may take hours, rarely more than a day), they get disassembled back to particles. There's a flare fronting(and probably constantly switching) at all times. Once a flare is disassembled, it's near impossible to see them again, although a similar flare might come to existence at some point. Nebula - this is the clustering and grouping of particles. These clusters have an overarching theme (such as shared trauma, shared general purpose, etc) and the flares that come out of them often have many similarities. Basil, for example, is the 'host nebula'. These clusters have formed naturally and, due to how messy having so many particles and complexity is, they tend to be big and nebulous. Hence the name, heh

For more info and more terms we've coined, we have a list here: https://pluralpedia.org/w/User:RedactedSys

DNI: We don't have a dni criteria, but we'd like to keep syscourse and similar away from this blog as the point is to journal about our modularity, not get into discourse

Okay. So. We have a job as a package handler for a delivery company. We enjoy the work, keeps us active, but we HATE the job. Like the way the place is run is absolutely infuriating. Towards the beginning of this year, we worked in the cold and dark FOR A MONTH before they fixed the power to our area. At that time it was loading SEVEN TO NINE TRUCKS BY ITSELF. We got tired of it and quit. For four months. Had some decent jobs lined up, but they fell through. Was told it got better, so i went back. WELL THAT WAS A FUCKIN LIE. Far as being a worker goes, its WORSE. Hell, my ild area STILL hasnt recovered from us leaving. No one in the building could keep up with us. Then today, in my new even more busy area, spent the first 25 minites running 11 trucks BY MYSELF. Then everyone got there and it went down to fur. But heres the thing, theyre four of the busiest trucks in the area. I also had to help split packages on the belt because theyve added a total of six new trucks toward the front of it. Which means the person meant to solely split, cant for the first two trucks. Which were mine. Which meant i HAD to help. Was gonna do so anyway, cause i like helping my coworkers. But damn it was exhausting. All told, it loaded a total of 760 packages. The only person with more than us was in our area and only had tgree more than us.

All this,ALL OF THIS, will not matter. I will not receive a raise based on my performance. We will not receive a promotion based on our performance. Everyone in the building KNOWS how good we are and how hard we work. Every manager. Every trainer. Every coworker that tells us to slow down cause we're doing to much even though we literally can't. Wve tried. If theres work, it nods to be done as quickly, efficiently, and neatly as possible. We. Cannot. Stop. And its so frustrating. Like, i see no point in giving our full effort, but we CANT FUCKING STOP. Just... fuck man.

Fractal in Motion

🗝️🏷️ possibly ego death, but we’re okay with it

We have next to no repeat fronters this season. It’s a traumatic time, different from the usual trauma that would be happening now. But that’s not all of it.

We’re a fractal system, the kind where our members are rarely the same twice. It varies from nearly imperceptible to entire shifts. It’s because we’re made like we are. Like sand. Our memories and states come together like grains forming stone, building up and scraping away. The longer we’re away, the less alike we are to our old selves.

It’s still me. Still us. But singlets don’t change this way. The gaining of experience without experiencing it. It’s beautiful, it’s imbedded in our system culture and functions. But it’s strange. I don’t know who I was a month ago, but I know I’ve been around longer than that. I wonder where the rest of me went, and who made me this version of myself.

There’s too many of us to know for sure. Our system grows as a baseline, and our front realm is connected to many places. There’s no surefire way to tell how we’ve shifted, we just have. The sands of time keep changing. The hourglass is intended to flow.

I’m not mourning, really. Just thinking. This is what we are. It burns like something is missing. The sensation makes me smile. I wouldn’t change it. We are the sands, and we are in motion.

Fractal is when members are always changing and are complex, parts being moved around or copied constantly to the point where some members a

Haaaiii~! This one is ribbon! Its a part of the Fractal system and is just so happy to be back.

It had been very active on twitter until the day the got rid of the actually berified blue checks and it just didnt wanna deal anymore. Took about... a year off it thinks? But am back now!

It writes silly lil doll things and horror~ Very unlikely to use content workings, so read at your own risk! It can be kinda heckin violent. >:D

This is THIS ONES tumblr, however other members of the Fractal system may decide they wanna post on occasion so when that happens we'll be sure to make it clear. ^.^

Its so happy to be back and writing again and to be finding new and old frens! Hope you enjoy what it posts and it looks forward to being here~!

So as the system members start posting, theyll get their own tag so if one of the following is in thw tags, it was them:

John: john speaks

Indigo: indi breaks

Macy: macys corner

DJ: djs degenerance

Koios: koios posting

Time to play my favorite game “it it a new headmate, is it a fragment that we only recently discovered, or is it just our penchant for mimicking traits without realizing it?”

This is what I get for being the in-sys manager, I guess 🙄 im starting to think we’re a fractal system or something. Sighhhhhhhh
