.hg …I wonder if we'd be better represented (better than the common plural-system model) as a shapeshifter with one or more bodies at any given time.

I mean, the patterns some of us have seem accurate, and some of us do seem markedly different…and also, we seem to accumulate members a lot more quickly than most systems, and we get /really blendy/ sometimes, and sometimes our marker choice seems to be an almost arbitrary choice rather than an observation

@moonbolt I've been kind of wondering – what are your perspectives on getting separate bodies? As in, assume perfect transhumanist future and what body setup would y'all pick? This is not really about forms (at least some of you have them mostly described), but what the setup for experiencing the world and each other would be.

I'm not sure whether the question is clear enough, and I really hope it's not too personal. ^^"

personal, identity, manifestation 

@timorl .hg See, that's the thing. We'd want a setup that could be flexible in that regard, both in form and in /number of forms./
/Sometimes/ we'd want to be all together in one body…but not always.

We don't really know what that looks like.
