Hi, may you science stone free's strings? I like how stone free turns jolyne's flesh into strings (and no one knows why it smells like soap)

I can absolutely “science” Jolyne’s Stand, Stone Free. Apologies for the delay, my expertise tends to be mostly in physics, so I had some chemistry reading to catch up on to adequately explain this!

(explanation below the cut, lots of images made this a long post!)

Standlogy Two

The history of Stands is also the transition of bows and arrows. We will explain the history of the "bow and arrow," which is an item that is as important as or even more than the "stone mask" that appeared during the eras of Jonathan and Joseph Joestar.

-below this is the Journey of the Bow and Arrow diagram-

-the first image in the entry is a box of arrowheads, one grasped by Diavolo's hand. The caption reads "it all started with the encounter between Diavolo and the "Arrow."-

An Unknown Virus Brought by a Meteorite

To talk about the history of the bow and arrow, we must first talk about a meteorite that is said to have fallen to earth about 50,000 years ago.

The crater where this meteor is said to have fallen was located in Cape York on the Greenland frontier, inaccessible to anyone but the local Inuit.

However, in 1978, when eleven workers entered the mine to investigate mineral resources, two of them were infected with an unknown virus and died.

According to the medical team's appraisal, it seems that the two who died were infected with a virus that was dormant in the fallen "meteorite." The symptoms were blisters all over the body, liquefying the skin inside the pustule until it looked like tomato sauce. It was terrifying.

-image two is of the stand user Enya holding her staff, a bow, and one of the stand arrows. The caption reads "Baba Enya, who created many stand users. What made you want to buy the "bow and arrow?"-

Discovery of the "Bow and Arrow"

The exact date of the meteorite's discovery cannot be traced. But shortly after human civilization began, a person, perhaps someone we could call a genius, realized the power of the meteorites and created a "bow and arrow."

He must have wished for power that rivaled that of a god and knew that the virus sleeping in this rock would make it possible.

He made the "bow and arrow," but what he did with it is unknown (although it is almost certain that he was aware of the relationship between the "bow and arrow" and the Stand).

Then, in 1986, Diavolo (the Naples mob boss during Giorno Giovanna's childhood and early teen years), who was accompanying a part-time worker on an archaeological excavation in Egypt, discovered six "arrows." He kept one.

With one arrow in his possession, Diavolo sold the remaining five arrows to Enya at a high price.

After using the "arrows" to make DIO and many others stand users, Enya-Baba handed over two "arrows" to Keicho Nijimura and Yoshikage Kira's father.

After Jean-Pierre Polnareff's journey to destroy DIO, he obtained one "arrow" during his own investigation (the remaining two arrows that should have remained with Enya-Baba remain unlocated).

In this way, the "arrows" scattered to Diavolo, Polnareff, Keicho, and Kira's father, went through their own transitions (as depicted by the Journey diagram), and eventually ended up being managed by the SPW Foundation and Giorno Giovanna. The whereabouts of the arrow that Kira's father had remains unknown.

Standlogy One

Definition of Stand

This project considers various topics related to stand. First of all, I would like to examine the definition of the stand itself and the conditions common to all stands (this article is just a hypothesis based on analogy from my research).

The Fourth Theory

(Regardless of life or death) stands always have a main body.

Stands are one person.

Stands' range and power are inversely proportional (however, the "effects" of stands are not limited to this).

The stand can only be touched by the stand (unless the stand is fused with a substance).

[translators note, which will be referred to as t/n from now on: we have seen instances of stands interacting with its user or other stand users, so more research or potential updating may be necessary for this point]

Stand Definition

A "stand" is a manifestation of "life energy" (t/n: sometimes interchangeable with "soul") that manifests with a clear appearance and ability.

As it was written as "yuhamon" in the very early days, it can be posited as a developmental existence of "hamon" that appeared during the era of Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando.

Also, stands are linked to the owners' fighting instincts and strength of mind, and in fact, if they appear in someone who doesn't like fighting, they will harm the owner (example: Holly Joestar-Kujo).

However, as time progressed, things like the non-combat type Pearl Jam also appeared, but this is due to the strength of the owner's (Tonio Trussardi's) mental power (quest for food).

Explanation of the Stands Four Great Theorems

All stands are roughly divided into four conditions (see "The Fourth Theory" above).

First, the first theorem, as is clear from Notorius B.I.G., even if the main body is of the type that appears "after death," it does not contradict this theorem, in the sense that it always has a main body.

Also, Requiem, which is the only one without a clear (t/n: manifested) body, can be said to be owned by Polnareff in a broad sense, considering it as an evolved form of Silver Chariot (although it was uncontrollable).

Then the second theorem. For example, Harvest seems to have multiple stands, but even with multiple bodies, the directivity of its abilities is basically one, so their body can be interpreted as "one body."

The third theorem seems to contradict the autopilot type / remote control type stand (Sheer Heart Attack), but it can be considered as an extension of the stand's "effect."

For example, Empress's tumor continues to grow independently of the main body, and Sheer Hear Attack continues to pursue without losing power.

As for the fourth theorem, the existence in parenthesis (t/n: i.e. what departs from the theme) corresponds to Yellow Temperance, the surface, etc. Which used the body and material as catalyst.

Based on this theorem, it should be easy to understand, how Oingo (God Khnum) who transformed in to Jotaro, was damaged by the bomb on their trip.

-3 pictures are above the main body of text -

the first is of the stand "Harvest" with it's user Shigechi and the caption reads "Harvest as a whole can be interpreted as "one ability".

the second is of the stand "Lovers" from the mission Joseph, Jotaro, and the others embarked on in the 80's with the caption "the third theorem is associated with Lovers. The stand is extremely small because it is a long-distance model".

the third is of Josuke Higashikata and his classmate Toshikazu Hazamada with the caption "Surface transformed into Josuke. The wooden doll is a catalyst, so even ordinary humans can see it".

[as an ooc sidenote, all the standlogy entries are from the Jo Jo a Go Go bonus stand book -- I had never seen the information translated before, so that's what I'm directly taking the text from]

Standlogy Notebook found:

In my search for historical logs about stands within the Morioh Speedwagon branch, I was able to locate a scanned document in the SPW online archives (I say "document," but in reality it's a handwritten notebook).

The notes are all in Japanese, but I am working during my Foundation hours to translate and archive the texts so they can be shared with other branches. I will post the different entries as they're translated.

Thank you for your patience and I look forward to sharing the research from the "standlogy" notebook.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF STAND FEVER EVENT — SPW Naples branch.

Abstract

The pathophysiology and diagnosis of the stand fever event is related to the patient’s medical history, linked to the parents’ nature as innate or artificial stand users and the capacity of the body to adapt to the virus in a lapse of hours to days. 

In innate stand users, the stand virus lays dormant until the immune system recognizes the virus. Evidence shows distress accelerates this process. In articial stand users, the immediate reaction is mediated by automatic responses. Both cases will produce a new stand user if the body manages to undergo the fever, which has been observed lasts up to two or three days in children, while adults are affected only during one day or thirty-six hours. 

Introduction

The stand fever event is a complicated autoimmune or unexpected reaction characterized by fever and body aches, where the stand virus begins to replicate until it reaches the brain, infecting it. The event is caused by the Alpha1G stand virus, in a direct reaction to the exposure of the agent through the infection with the stand arrow or predisposition through DNA, where one or both parents are stand users. 

During the fever, patients may experience body aches and those around may see changes and fluctuations in the environment. Awakening stands tend to get out of control, given that their users are not aware of their existence yet. 

By the end of the event, patients may be conscious and recall images as well as materialize their stands but might be unable to control them.  

 Types of stand users. 

Innate. Patient’s parents or family are stand users. Therefore, their predisposition to becoming one is up to 85% and the event might occur during childhood. It has been found traumatizing events can trigger the event, as a response to cortisol. 

Artificial. Patient came in contact with the stand arrow. Evidence shows the fever is immediate due to the mechanism of interaction. Patients will undergo the fever according to their age and resistance to the virus. 

Adults and children during stand fever.

It has been found adults will undergo the event during twenty-four up to thirty-six hours with minimal distress. Dehydration must be prevented.

Children, however, can be affected during two or three days, where dehydration is common and fluids must be carefully monitored.

Diagnosis.

Diagnosis has been a complicated aspect, given that most cases occur without medical aid. Since people are unaware of the stand virus’ existence, most cases are treated under other sicknesses treatments.

Most diagnosed patients are those from stand users family, where parents sense their children’s stands and are able to recognize the episode. Experimented stand users can recognize the event.

Treatment. 

Treatment must be entirely symptomatical. Vital signs, including oxygenation, must be monitored. Fluids must be continually administered.

If vital functions are compromised perform advanced life support.

Mortality.

It has been estimated up to 1,000 out of 100,000 infected patients may pass away during the event. However, investigation is yet to reach and determine the veracity of the data. Dehydration and cardiac arrest are the two causes linked to stand fever event deaths according to the Speedwagon Foundation.
