I spent way too much time on this for the little attention it ended up getting. Either way, I hope Tumblr likes this piece. If you want the full context and concept for this, then hit me up, and I'll give you link for it.

A Ship of Theseus, and a Drone of Tessa, a Murder Drones concept.

what if we combined the ship of thesues with the banach-tarski paradox. which sphere is the original sphere

Theseus’ Temporal Paradox

What happens if you eventually get completely replaced with robot parts over time then travel to before your body got replaced, and interact with yourself?

Are you still the same person?

Does the answer to that question affect whether or not it’s a time paradox?

There is one ultimate reason why I ask these questions…

Jibanyan CAN (although not necessary) interact with rudy in Red Cat Corps

Jibanyan DOES interact with his future self in 4 (and maybe in yo kai watch shadowside)

AND

In the anime he interacts and fights his future self that got changed into a robot then went back (in the games I think he’s somehow not the future version of him tho)

me: i fixed your ship theseus: this isn't my ship

somewhere along the way, a whole lot of people concluded that "metaphor" meant "false" and "illusion" meant "lie"

furries are not animals. they are humans. you can tell because, first of all, they are made of the same people meat everyone else is. not a flawlessly deductive argument, no, but a very robust induction nonetheless.

furries are not humans. they are animals. you can tell because, first of all, they will tell you that. at great length. repeatedly. bc we are all autistic. not a flawlessly deductive argument, no, but a very robust induction nonetheless.

being a furry is, as the eminent philosopher Patricia Taxxon (@patricia-taxxon) defined it, a concession to the symbolic and the sensory. humans are already mammals, that some of us find more of ourselves in fur than skin is not news.

Traumagenic, Endogenic, & whatever-a-tulpa-is-genic systems both are and are not multiple people in one body. We are a body experiencing consciousness in a non-singular way. We are reality viewing itself through a kaleidoscopic fractal fraction of the infinitely fractal kaleidoscope that is human experience. That we see more of ourselves in a group than an individual is not news either.

God is not real. God is also real. God is a metaphor. Maybe. God tends to elude definition, a defining tendency itself, if you wanna try & wrap your already aching brain around THAT.

That furrydom, systemhood, and theology are all metaphorical and illusory is not a reduction of their truth but instead are their nature. Life is metaphorical and illusory. Motion is a logical inconsistency. Plato, the stupidest man to ever live (other than every other person), said that time itself was "the motion of eternity." He was talking about clouds passing in front of the sun. He was also right. For once. The metaphor and the illusion ARE the truth of it. Samsara take us all, Brahman ur Atman, man, no one else can do it for you.

Every paradox I've mentioned is solved by shutting the fuck up and being kinder. Listen. Speak. Agree. Disagree. Love. Hate. they're all the same and completely different.

In my experience, hope is just despair after a shower, death just rot becoming regrowth. calling my metaphor a metaphor derogatorily does nothing but make you look like a dumb asshole. calling your own metaphor not a metaphor has the exact same effect.

z_xx. In Polydactyl, we say: "look at this, this is like that, and they're under these."

We open with the famous ship of Theseus question.

The phantom limb shows a part's existence can remain after physical destruction. Its behaviors can still act, as if reaching out from the past.

What if a plank of HMS Theseus is like a phantom limb: exhibiting continuity of influence of the whole?

The woodwork is the ship is rechristened a network.

The network is redefined through not only its connections, but also its tensions.

This conceptual leap is easily graspable within the harder sciences. For example, in mathematics' tensor.

We go on to argue import in the human realm. If network continuity can be proven, what does it mean for our continuity? What does it say to (or ask of) our inner child?

Currently pondering whether the Ship of Theseus Paradox can be applied to the Doctor… I believe the concept was subtextually touched upon through a conversation between the 12th doctor and the Half-face man in the season 8 premiere “Deep Breath”

Slowly replace all your body parts with other ones identical to yours, even your brain and organs, and you feel no pain in the process.

Lean close to you while you look at yourself in the mirror.

Are you still the same boat?
