A good friend of mine recently linked this article / guide about yet another way to percieve systems but since this is yet another form i don't relate to (although it is closer in form to my perseption than the traditional round-robin system system system system system :-D) I decided to spend some time elaborating what *is* my current perspection on it.
Sorry in advance these are just ramblings. Also some piquant artwork ahead so be beware.
This is me. This is how I present myself to the internet, a filthy furry whatever, this is how my friends know me.
This is me. A boring office clerk, a shell of a human being, who clearly does not eat enough to stay alive and has the personality of a doorknob but who knows a fair bit about computers despite forgetting half of it half of the time.
This is me. Or at least it's my childhood fears, my loneliness. In my dreams I am constantly on the run, fleeing... from what(?) i don't know either.
This is me. I cloned myself to have someone to befriend. Or did it clone me? Or was it just some spirit passing by, glueing itself to the poor soul I am? Or am I the spirit passing by? Whatever it is, it is an entity that is mostly me most of the time, but sometimes seperates from me a bit to help me pass through difficult times
This is me. This is how I present myself to the internet. None of these characters are superior to any of the other, but they relate to me, and others can relate me through them.
These characters are originally from stories I wrote or I never wrote down. Some of them I relate to more deeply now, and some of them will always remain characters to me.
This is how the other me manifests itself most of the time. It's really a friend to me, a support through though times.
Yes there is overlap, and the boundaries are ill-defined. This is intentional, and I'd like to keep it that way.
So in conclusion: are there multiple entities inside my head? yes, kinda; but mostly no - all depending on how you define entity
and inside my head
