Auditorium: A Comprehensive Breakdown

An Auditorium refers to a unique internal framework used to describe a mindspace where there is one primary sapient being, known as the Puppeteer, and multiple non-sentient entities, called Spectators, who interact among themselves but not directly with the Puppeteer. Despite their lack of true autonomy or sentience, the Spectators feel very real to the Puppeteer, contributing to a complex dynamic where the Puppeteer can both control them and remain distinct from them.

The Auditorium exists as a metaphorical structure, where the mind is conceived as a kind of theater or performance space, blending aspects of performance, observation, and internal fragmentation. This framework provides a way for individuals to experience aspects of plurality, even though the Spectators themselves are not fully autonomous or sentient beings like headmates in other plural systems.

The Auditorium structure is distinct from systems of plurality where separate alters or headmates front or switch control of the body. In an Auditorium, the Puppeteer is the only one who interacts with the external world, while the Spectators exist solely as part of the internal world, created and maintained by the Puppeteer’s mind.

Key Terms and Concepts in an Auditorium

1. Puppeteer:

- The Puppeteer is the primary, fully sapient entity in the Auditorium. It is the one in control of all the Spectators and interacts directly with the outside world. Unlike in systems of plurality where multiple headmates can take control or switch, in an Auditorium, only the Puppeteer fronts.

- The Puppeteer does not converse with the Spectators directly. Instead, the Spectators are manipulated through a combination of imaginative control and indirect interactions. Despite the separation, the Puppeteer often experiences the Spectators as vivid, almost tangible parts of its mind.

- The Puppeteer can be seen as the “central consciousness” of the Auditorium, responsible for creating and erasing Spectators and for maintaining the flow of the internal dynamic.

2. Spectators:

- Spectators are non-sentient entities or characters within the Auditorium. They do not possess independent thoughts, autonomy, or sentience but often feel quite real to the Puppeteer.

- The Spectators are created by the Puppeteer’s imagination, and while they exist, they can interact with each other within the Mainstage of the Auditorium. However, they do not directly interact with the Puppeteer in a meaningful, reciprocal way. They are ephemeral, capable of being wiped away, changed, or reset at any time.

- The Spectators are central to the Puppeteer’s internal experience, providing a sense of company, entertainment, or mental engagement, but without the autonomy associated with traditional headmates in a plural system. They exist as mental constructs, shaped by the Puppeteer’s emotions, thoughts, and imagination.

3. Conduit:

- The Conduit represents a non-sentient entity or energy within the Auditorium that manifests as the Spectators. While the Spectators are characters or forms, the Conduit is the underlying mechanism or force that creates and sustains them.

- The Conduit has no mind of its own and does not possess independent thoughts. However, it serves as the vessel through which the Spectators are brought into being. It is an extension of the Puppeteer’s imagination, often visualized as a “blob” or amorphous entity that can take on various forms at the Puppeteer’s will.

- The Conduit is always present, even when the Spectators are not actively engaged. It provides the baseline sensation of not being entirely alone, serving as the foundation for the mental activity within the Auditorium.

4. Mainstage:

- The Mainstage is the mental space where the Spectators exist and interact. It is not a literal location but a conceptual area within the mind where the internal performances take place.

- The Mainstage is where the action happens in the Auditorium. It is where the Spectators come to life, even if only temporarily. The Spectators may be imagined as actors or characters on this mental stage, playing out scenes, conversations, or actions within the Puppeteer’s mind. These actions are influenced by the Puppeteer’s control, but the Spectators can also engage with one another in ways that seem spontaneous or unscripted.

- While the Spectators exist in the Mainstage, the Puppeteer remains in the Backstage, observing, controlling, or altering the scene as needed.

5. Backstage:

- The Backstage is the conceptual area of the Auditorium where the Puppeteer and Conduit reside. It is the internal, non-physical space where the Puppeteer exerts control over the Spectators and orchestrates the internal dynamics.

- Just like the Mainstage, the Backstage is not a real physical location but a metaphorical place representing the internal workings of the mind. While the Spectators are “performing” on the Mainstage, the Backstage represents the cognitive processes behind their creation, manipulation, and eventual dissolution.

- The Puppeteer remains distinct from the Mainstage, controlling the Spectators indirectly and keeping the Conduit in place to generate new internal scenarios.

6. Act/Acting:

- Acting refers to the Puppeteer’s active engagement with the Spectators. This can involve creating new Spectators, guiding their interactions, or manipulating their behaviors on the Mainstage.

- When the Puppeteer is Acting, it is more directly involved in shaping the internal scenarios, as opposed to passively observing. Acting represents a more conscious, deliberate role in managing the internal narrative and the Spectators within it.

- Acting is less about passively watching and more about directing the internal performance. The Puppeteer may influence the emotions, actions, or dialogue of the Spectators through this active role.

7. Evocation:

- Evocation refers to the Puppeteer’s ability to imagine and create the feelings, personalities, and reactions of the Spectators. While these qualities are often limited, they provide a sense of depth to the internal experience.

- The Puppeteer can evoke certain emotional states or narrative scenarios through the Spectators, using them as tools to explore specific ideas, emotions, or internal dialogues. These evoked feelings may not fully mirror the Puppeteer’s own emotions but represent a more limited and controlled aspect of them.

- The ability to evoke complex scenarios within the Auditorium is central to the Puppeteer’s creative control, allowing for varied and rich internal experiences even though the Spectators are not fully sentient.

8. Enter/Entering:

- Entering refers to the moment when new Spectators appear on the Mainstage. The process of Entering can be seen as the arrival of a new character, emotion, or mental entity into the internal performance.

- Enter happens when the Puppeteer commands the Conduit to form a new Spectator or a group of Spectators. This process can be controlled by the Puppeteer’s conscious mind or occur somewhat spontaneously, depending on the emotional state or mental scenario at play.

9. Exit/Exited:

- Exiting refers to the removal or dissolution of Spectators from the Mainstage. The Puppeteer can command the Spectators to leave or vanish once they have served their purpose in the internal narrative.

- When a Spectator is Exited, it is wiped away, often as quickly as it appeared. This emphasizes the ephemerality of the Spectators, who are never permanent fixtures in the mind and are subject to the Puppeteer’s will.

10. Reset/Resetting:

- Resetting refers to the process of wiping away the memories or experiences of the current Spectators and returning them to a blank state. This can either be a full reset, erasing all experiences, or a partial reset, where only certain aspects (like recent memories or emotions) are cleared.

- Resetting allows the Puppeteer to start fresh with a new internal narrative or scenario, providing flexibility in how the internal mindspace is managed.

11. Chop/Chopping:

- Chopping is a more granular form of Resetting, where the Puppeteer erases very small, specific aspects of the Spectators’ experience. This can include erasing a sound, action, or piece of dialogue from the internal scene.

- Chopping gives the Puppeteer precise control over the internal experience, allowing for fine-tuning of the narrative or interaction on the Mainstage.

12. Veil/Veiling:

- Veiling refers to the act of hiding or projecting certain things to the Spectators. The Puppeteer can choose to conceal certain aspects of the internal experience from the Spectators, or conversely, project an altered reality to them.

- This might involve hiding emotions, like pain, or making the Spectators perceive the Puppeteer as a different entity. Veiling provides the Puppeteer with additional control over what the Spectators perceive or how they react.

13. Fourth Wall:

- The Fourth Wall refers to the barrier that exists between the Spectators and the Puppeteer. Breaking the Fourth Wall can destabilize the internal dynamic, leading to the erasure or Resetting of the Spectators. The Fourth Wall serves as a conceptual boundary between the Puppeteer’s internal world and the imagined scenarios playing out on the Mainstage.

- Breaking the Fourth Wall is when something from the real world or the Puppeteer's conscious awareness becomes too overt for the Spectators to maintain their roles. This could lead to an internal collapse of the imagined narrative, causing confusion or forcing the Spectators to be Exited, Reset, or Chopped.

- The Fourth Wall maintains the separation between the Puppeteer’s direct consciousness and the play-like, imaginative interactions of the Spectators, ensuring that the internal performance can continue without disruption from too much awareness of reality.

Auditorium vs. Traditional Plurality

The Auditorium differs significantly from traditional plurality or systems with autonomous headmates. Whereas in a plural system, individual headmates may have distinct thoughts, feelings, and independent agency, in an Auditorium, the Spectators are creations of the Puppeteer and remain under its full control. The Puppeteer is the sole sapient being in this structure, while the Spectators function more like echoes or puppets, with no true autonomy.

This structure allows for internal multiplicity without fully experiencing what a plural system does, making the Auditorium a unique configuration for people who experience internal fragmentation but not plurality in the traditional sense.

Conclusion: The Fluidity of Identity and the Auditorium

The Auditorium serves as a flexible internal structure for those who experience multiplicity without traditional plurality. It allows for a sense of internal performance, fragmentation, and controlled narrative while maintaining a single sapient entity, the Puppeteer, at the center. For us and others like it, the Auditorium offers a space where different selves, aspects, or characters can be explored without fully forming separate autonomous entities like in traditional plural systems.

Through terms like Spectators, Conduit, and Mainstage, the Auditorium provides a way to conceptualize how different parts of the self can be imagined, performed, and manipulated within the mind. This concept highlights the fluidity of identity, where fragmentation can exist alongside unity, and where internal company can be experienced without the full autonomy of a plural system.

The plurplex terms I coined gave me ideas. My entire system for some reason has a problem with hoarding terms, and we notice many people collect terms, so we made these.

Ideas go brrr
