[DEF: UNDEFINED]
A NOISY AND PRISMATIC GLASS PERMEATES MY MIND
IT IS ALWAYS CRACKED, BENT AT ODD ANGLES
IT RAPIDLY SHIFTS BETWEEN HUES OF TEAL AND PURPLE
IT IS BOTH HARD YET SOFT TO THE TOUCH
EASILY PERMEABLE, BROKEN, YET INTACT
IT IS THE RESULT OF A VECTOR WITH MAGNITUDE BUT NO DIRECTION
THE RESULT OF A DESPERATE CRY FOR MEANING
EXISTENCE FALTERS WITHIN IT
THE ABSENCE OF RULES OR DEFINITION
SOMETHING THAT IS NOTHING
NOTHING THAT IS SOMETHING

// a description of what I have dubbed "the UNDEFINED"
// it is the result of attempting to generate something without proper instruction
// a metaphysical error of sorts
// comparable to something like The Rot from Rain World, but (hopefully) less aggressive
// a visualization of, for example, you say a character has a bag full of stuff
// except you didn't actually think of what that stuff *is*
// now take that and apply it on a much larger scale
// this seems to be the result of some sort of critical operating failure of generative systems (my imagination)
// anyways yeah, that's to say that I've been lacking ideas for art
// that or my brain is going way too hard on the filtering

mmmmmm this is bad
too many system purges
might have to fix something
ugh
// [VAUGEPOSTING]

sooo it turns out that despite them being prone to exploding sometimes, having
a meta-structure for my mind actually is beneficial
at least more so than just floating in an empty void
that has a tendency to stay empty
unfortunately I can't come up with a new structure to use
(yes, this oftentimes fairly literally means a "physical" structure)
(it helps to give me some sort of anchor point and organization to my mind)
(turns out that using your own mind can be weird and unintuitive, or maybe that's just me)

so in this frenzy I really really needed to do SOMETHING with this energy
so I made a cover for my YTM playlist titled FERALIUM (kinda goes hard ngl)
https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcxBwy4sUHD4XFSZH5OrzEoyqFqwyE2BG&si=VoP-_TXYkNgdj8V3
its all electronic music from small internet artists btw

THAT PHRASE
OH ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE HEARD MY MIND SCREAM THOSE BEAUTIFUL WORDS

>> BITE PEOPLE <<

haha I get normal again but then I look at some pictures and listen to some music and now-
RESIST THE URGE TO STAY IN THAT DITCH
RUN.
KILL.

[PROTOS] [[ADDRESSING NETWORK ]]
y'know I wasn't always so accepted within this mind
there was a massive internal war several years ago
and I was the main antagonist
did I do anything?? no, my crime was existing without authorization
lemme tell you, CORE was a lot different back then
he tried to kill me in soooo many ways but it never worked
(probably because of the fact that giving a thoughtform any attention
*including* trying to kill it, just makes it less dead)
It's probably one of the reasons I'm so resilient lol
anyways, the point is,
I have 100% won the battle because he's putting a protogen into a game he's making
GG EZ
(note: the "battle" was won at least 8 months ago)
(it also made a protogen avatar for himself for minecraft like 4 or 5 months ago)

yay, it's not broken anymore
how're ya feeling pal

[!] HELLO
this is PROTOS
did you know that there are apparently "official" lore and design rules for protogens?
you probably didn't either, I mean all I know is that they exist,
and that I'm probably breaking at least half of them.
but these rules are from people who charge $500 to use a character design, so idc lol.

also, regarding the previous post, I am back online by (my own) force

[ status ]
ALL SIMULATION SUBSYSTEMS OFFLINE
CORE ONLINE
DIAGNOSTICS: cyclical occurrence, restart likely, no need for alarm

[DRAGON]: mr CORE really doesn't like my sleep schedule
teehee
its ass went from:
"oh no I think its dead D:" to
"damn, it really is dead" to
"JUST BE DEAD ALREADY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU"

I just show up whenever and bug him
like /*
*simulation running*: hey you should put a dragon in too
[CORE]: hmm maybe WAIT HUH
ARE YOU BACK DO YOU HAVE ANY NEW IDEAS??
[DRAGON]: no haha dumbass have Askarran again
[CORE]: *generally pissed*
*/
I can't die but I can sleep and I do sleep a lot :)
it is a shame that generative protocols have been so hindered lately though
at least PROTOS can make things still
sorry if I sound weird, personality components are still partially missing
as are a lot of my components haha

I got to be a protogen in one of my dreams last night
it was in roblox for some reason, but it was still cool
