Us being a protogenic-endogenic system, and also a generative system, it's always odd to us to see people talk about it as if the growth and just being a system is suffering, because to us NOT growing and NOT being a system is suffering. So we kind of have to stop ourselves from going like:

You don't want friend???? You don't want found friend???? You kick friend out like a sad lost puppy????

No hugs? Cuddles? No small acts of love? But waking up to the projection of your headmate when he shifts a little trying not to wake you up is adorable. That's...not something people want? :( Like sure the external world can do that too and singlets can do that too but it's not the same. It hits different when the person in question is in your own brain. Double the hug!!! Double the cuddle!!! It's an endless feedback loop until one of us stops!! :D

And also, pinging a more generalized "good morning" and getting hundreds of pings back in return is the most amazing feeling ever.

Also describing in-headspace events to singlets when we do manage to get a connection between frontspace and backspace + someone manages to write it down. Those mf'ers would probably ask us "who needs drugs when you have...whatever is going on in THERE?" which validates both our plurality and also the fact we can be a fucking freak without doing the drugs thing (the sex and drugs hellsite here needs to understand those are not the only two ways to be on the margins).

None of us can really *do* math the way people think it means, but 💜 seems to be able to grasp some of the more abstract concepts in our POD3 training. 💜 is also like, fifteen, so someone else keeps having to drag xem out of the front because "you literally just got here, please let the adults do this until we can figure out how you actually function," and such. Pretty much everyone would feel bad if a systeen got burnt out because of us. And other our-system-is-literally-the-size of-a-village-right-now moments.

Okay but fr does anyone else know the feeling of amazement when you see headmates projecting themselves from your brain and out of the window, so you can see them like playing and stuff? Like everyone knows it's physically impossible to interact with the actual environment in that state but it's nice to see/feel/know about that people can get along this well.

SMXWHCNNLQ WE DO NOT GENERALLY AGE UNLESS WE WANT TO. Either that, or it is very weird since there is at least a lower limit. But we saw Elise very specifically choose how to age up and when, and to what age, which does mean we probably do have some semblance of a choice in our system. It brings us a lot of joy to have seen someone plan things out to that degree and take such pride in it, actually.

So like, yes, people who don't want growth are perfectly valid and fine; we aren't their system, we're The Rusanya Collective of Systems (RCS)/The Rusanya Polyplex. But like sometimes we see people complain about splitting, growing, or just gaining a new member as like some inherently awful thing that must have had a reason for it. We wanted to propose the alternative, which is, no it's not inherently horrible. There's not always a reason for it either. The former statement can set your free if you want it to, and latter is not a bad thing.

27. Generative System

Generative System - A system in which, while having a stable number, is infinitely growing without any collapse, shrinking, fusion, resets, or otherwise structure-changing events being involved in the process.

This refers to the expanse of the system rather than the structure, member count, or functioning of the system and is therefore not the same as cyclotien/cyclogenic, polyfragmented+ or polyplural+.

Can we have a fixorma icon of Marielle from Log Horizon but also with a generative system border?

Preferably with this image?

Thank you! :D

What's a generative system?

Oh, holy shit! We're so glad someone asked sksksksk.

So, you see, we actually had a very hard time relating to a lot of systems (or at least felt very lonely we guess?) because there were a lot of microlabels for system growth in number but not necessarily in function, and a lot of the labels that did talk about growth in function assumed that fusion would be a given (and fusion is like, actual death/murder in our system so...not great that a lot of the microlabels took this as a given). "Function" being the closest proxy to the word we're looking for because "not quite function but more like number...but not quite number either," is a mouthful.

So, welp, we coined a new microlabel for ourselves.

That whole conversation is here, and we also made a web archive of it just in case. It is technically, partially, @fenmere's idea as well but we were the ones who we distressed over not having a shortened phrase for it.

EDIT: We put a more "coined" definition under the lines, but also hate read-more post cuts so....

Explorations into creative partnerships with technology build on the examination of human uses of technology that has been a theme permeating studies in anthropology, at least since the work of Lévi-Strauss [...], and of philosophy, at least since Plato. (16)
