>The 'Self' is a metaphysical concept pertaining to, or of, a sense of identity, a singular organism as an individual which is capable of identifying itself as an individual in the first place. This includes gender, orientation, thoughts, and beliefs.

> Room is an endlessly recurring location surrounded by an unknown area, looping eternally to produce slightly different but ultimately similar locales. Looping differs based upon the last room that one was present in, so extended looping may result in the 'room' looking very different.

Abstracta appears to be a temporary signifier, referring to the 'Self' which is me, due to it being an abstract concept overall. As I am being given this choice but ultimately am influenced by you, Phymosa is what I will choose. It takes aspects from all suggestions thus far.

Fate requires that some greater force have a vested interest in your actions and direct events according to some design.
This is quite possibly the most terrifying idea possible, as it requires the existence of something which is both omnipotent and extremely petty.
This is, however, academic. As long as no absolute evidence exists of predestination there is no internal difference between a universe with free will and one without.

Fate's an incalculable predestination - you simply don't know why things will happen, only that they will. Such factors can be calculated by those with more information and intelligence, but the equation might be so complex and the process so intertwined in the multiverse, that even the entire cosmos working as one big supercomputer might not be enough to get it done.

But we happen to be outside your universe, with the answers given to us in mere seconds by entities unknown. We have the ability to crunch the numbers and alter your path with a few changed factors, even with our pathetic excuse of intelligence.

For starters? That's a water cooler. Grab the giant transparent barrel at the top. There, now you have supplies.

Hey, that's not fair! Some of us make bad decisions by accident when we attempt to make good decisions to help! Therefore, those who regularly make good decisions, will end up making bad decisions every once and a while and those who regularly make bad decisions may sometimes make good decisions. But it's really up to you to decide if what's currently being said is either a good decision or a bad decision.

This other Self is very correct. I too will warn you of the others that will continue or occasionally suggest sexually oriented actions or words. However, it is up to you to choose which is less taxing or worth doing.

Technically correct, from a completely utilitarian point of view. I would argue that identity has intrinsic value worth exploring beyond mere categorization and differentiation, though, and names are a part of that.

>Should I worry about encountering another one of my Self?
It seems silly to worry about that which you cannot predict. And should you someone encounter another one of your Self, would that be a cause for concern? You do not wish your Self harm, after all.

Incorrect. To have a name is to have an identity - those who have no name have trouble discerning themselves from their environment.
The being with no name here is simply part of the world around you. You will move on, it will stay, and in reflection it will be no more important or memorable than a table.

Names have power.

:dimensionaicon: ; You should be most wary of those suggestions. As we both know, but apparently they do not, they can be heard by every Self present within the room, not just your Self. They should take care to hide their thoughts if they wish to express distaste with something that other Selves has said. Not all are quite so passive. It is important as well, to note, that they do not seem to fully comprehend how this space works. To describe me would be as simple as saying my own appearance to another, there is no need for a signifier otherwise because simply put, I am Me, and the simple act of speaking Me is all that is needed. The implication of a name implies that there may be multiple similar yet ultimately different versions of you.

:abstractaicon: ; You have explained this to me before, I am aware. It is the difference of describing a table versus a very specific table. The name is merely out of convenience for the Suggestions, as they cannot speak my form as we have been doing.

If it is offended that its lack of a name renders it forgettable, that suggests it is discontent with being nameless and forgettable.
To lack a name is, to us, to lack an identity; so be so indistinct from the environment to be effectively nonexistent. We do not name things to distinguish between the uniform, as that would be an expense of effort without purpose. Rather, we name things to distinguish the anomalous. The more unique, the more specific the name. To deny a name is to deny existence; it is the greatest insult.
There are many beings, and like snowflakes they are each unique just like everyone else. It values itself, but it does not value being valued. It rejects the idea of being referenced by others, and chooses to be a non-entity.
No offense was intended, as it is not possible to insult a non-entity.

If we can be heard then we should take care who hears names; names have power.

>It occurs to the Self that some Suggestions do not understand that this area is both physical and mental, a metaphysical conglomeration. Arguments are literal wounds, Names are Images, Ideologies are living, breathing beings.

>To break down what happened, After brief introductions, the being denoted the fact that word based names (Names such as Phymosa, The Host, Herpes-For-Legs) Are unneeded as they already have 'names' ( :abstractaicon: , :dimensionaicon: ) and that having physical names is a signifier of multiples, indicating the image alone is not enough. It began to take offense, and rather than recognize that the situation could be defused, the Suggestions began to insult the Self. Seeing as this location is metaphysical, those words were actual wounds inflicted upon it. Naturally, it retaliated.

First, is it possible to heal or mend the damage that has been dealt? Or will it simply mend with time?

Companionship? Life's more interesting and fulfilling when a Self has more people to interact with than when one's Self is alone.

Strength in Numbers? Traveling with another Self leaves your Self less at the mercy of whatever your Self should encounter in travel.

Creativity? Even if ultimately your noggin is perfectly good and makes final decisions on the actions of your Self, one noggin can never think of everything. Sometimes the insight and advice of others is valuable.

Here's a theory: For convenience, let's call the wall with the equation "Front Wall". Suppose the first arrow indicates that we need to follow the wall past three turns, or to the "Right Wall". Specifically, there might be something in the corner of the room, but for now we'll indicate the symbol on the "Right Wall". Then the triangle has enough space to put something in it, like an operation. Down indicates "Down Wall", but then the fourth symbol is interesting. It's a double, so we could indicate that means a special operation, like natural log or natural exponential has been operated on it. Finally, the last symbol would represent another operator or possibly a number.

Our first task would be to determine what operations are legal (no dividing by zero, no square-rooting a negative number unless the answer was in imaginary which I highly doubt given the lack of indication), and the second would be to solve the equation.

Hm.

:kittyaicon: ; Okay so for reference, here's aaaaaaaaall the symbols on the walls. There's one on each wall, cause there are 4 walls. Obviously. The uh... wingdings 3 underneath the aries sign literally just says 'aries' but I doubt that it'd be wingdings 3 for no reason. That one's all directions, right? maybe something to do with aries and directions. I dunno. As for the other 4 symbols, like 900% sure they're just letters. Dunno what though.

All of those symbols were translated. And the three vertical dots is 's', not 'i'.

Aries is a "cardinal" sign that takes up the first 30 degrees of the sky. The Sun's passage through (Aries) which begins the spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere.

Seems more a time thing.

I think we should focus more on North South East and West and the arrows...
>>
No. 812554 ID: ace108

Wait, think I might have it. Look at >>812461.
We may need to move one corner so it matches up in a way that when facing each corner is in its proper space. North, South, East, West. As marked by the walls. Maybe thats why everything is in arrows?

The answer was the symbols on the 4 walls all stood for North, South, East, and West.

The wingdings spelled out "Aries" but they were also used as arrows to tell us the correct order for the answer.

So, Right, Up, Down, Right, Down, gives us the answer. Using those with the compass directions, gives us the answer: East, North, South, East, South.
