The One is extended, multiplied, duplicated.
It has copies of itself, different forms of partially-abstract identities “living” in partially-abstract worlds.
In these parallel worlds, these identities allow the extension of the One’s mind, by enabling different processes and calculations that its mind itself is not capable of.
They also allow the extension of its actions, enabling it to perform and act without any physical presence in a particular place at a particular time.
The One follows its own time and it has no necessity to synchronize with another One at the same space or the same time in order to interact – One can act now (in what seems to be immediate and direct) with another One that can react anytime later without spoiling the sense of “immediacy”.
The One is no longer connected to a hard environment or to a hard identity (place, family, history).
The One lives in a soft environment: connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting - without any obligations or commitments - to infinite number of soft communities.
In the soft (liquid) world, the One can change its identity endlessly as if everything around is a customs-stand.
It has no engagement to any social or physical norms, or any pre self-definition or preference - infinite freedom (!).
They are transient manifestations, always on the go, searching constantly for meaning and identity without any particular point of reference.
In this manner, the Ones are all nomads in a partially smooth/ partially striated space – hybrid space.
The instantaneous experience of all its daily actions neutralizes space and creates a so-called direct experience: immediate relation between action and reaction.
In these instant processes there is no importance to all the phases in between.
The One no longer experiences or has the necessity to experience the physical world.
The extensions of the One made it larger relatively to its physical world.
Shrinking time by reducing physical presence and abridging space – the One became everything simultaneously: an organism, an operator, an environment. It is in fact its own environment.
But also, it can no longer just be. It is constantly doing– it will not call his mother to be in silence.
Relationships are reduced to actions only – active signals.
The meaning of just being is gone.
The world of the Ones is the world of indirectness, of reflections and simulacrum – nothing is permanent, nothing is direct.
It is a world of mirrors.
