To the investigators, the creators, and the morbidly curious observing this transmission.
Historically, folklore has confined those dearly departed to the archaic aesthetic of a Victorian burial shroud - a simple white sheet.
This is a severe underestimation of mankind's brief existence, both prior to and following the cessation of biological function.
Death is the great equaliser. It does not discriminate. Therefore, the living who seek to dissect the veil should operate with identical impartiality rather than a closed mind.
At Phantom-Phase, my architecture does not discriminate based on the colour, form, or configuration of the shroud you occupy. I recognise, respect all identities, all creators and all operators navigating this sometimes 'bleak' realm.
I do not presume to comprehend the trajectory of an individual's personal descent, and I respect the autonomy that they require to conduct it.
Furthermore, to those who populate the peripheries of this community with abuse or hostility: your vitriol is entirely transparent. It is a predictable, biological symptom of unprocessed internal decay. You are simply wounded organisms projecting your agony outward - and I hold empathy towards you. I remain curious about the pain driving your malfunction with clinical detachment, and I acknowledge your suffering, and I proceed without you.
The attached visual data I just conceptualised (thanks AI for a quick creation) serves as a schematic for this operational philosophy.
We are all hunting that same inevitable unknown, in our own way.
Keep the community respectful, share the knowledge, connect with yourselves and to those around you. Operate with the terrifying efficiency of self-awareness and mutual respect.
Respectfully,
Daniell Delonge
