Dualism? Why stop at two? There's always at
least three ways, if not more.
I am intensely aware of the irony inherent in the fact that this is being written by someone calling (her)self "Twin". -Twin
Dualism
- The condition of being dual.
- The Philosophy that the universe exists in two fundamental states, such as order and chaos.
- The Psychological view that the mind and body are capable of seperate function.
- The method of dining on that mythical place Earth?, where sentients would dine either on true or false things, black or white things, up or down things, 0 or 1 things, dead or alive things and never in between. This led to the Great Repartotion (qv)
- The lover of Anentropy
- The lust that eats up Possibility
- A Tool of Grey Face
- An addictive condition brought about by the consumption of Zorro
- Yin vs. yang. Objectivity vs. subjectivity. Spy vs. Spy.
- A philosophy revolving around slapping people with leather gloves.
Dualism (Or Greater Diversity) in Persona
- Ataxia - A dualism in both functioning and in body, but not in mind. Ataxia is willfully either a Chaos Engine bleeding internal chaos out and stealing external order to keep herself in a state of physical perfection, or a Stasis Engine entirely disordered in form which expels its order out onto the world (or steals disorder to feed her own), drawing and strengthening patterns in the world around her. She thus possesses a physical biological form (impossibly perfect, but at least a simulacrum of a biological system) and an abiological immaterial (she consists of entirely disordered particles, not even atoms) form.
Commentary on Dualism
In computer terminology, a flag is a bit that is said to have two values: true or false, and thus could be said to have a dual nature. But there are some who would argue that a flag can have a third value: "unknown". -Camilla
- Or more accurately, "untested". --Echo
- Actually, see [tri-state]. The third state is 'high impedance' or 'Open collector', which means, 'neither 1 nor 0, but no voltage, as if it was not connected at all'. It's necessary in any bi-directional communication in hardware. Appropriately enough, this is represented as two bits, one the traditional value, the other being the disable.
- The fourth value is "who gives a shit anyway"! -Mind Not Found
