Incarnate Identity & Dimensions
I’ve been contemplating potential glyphs and/or symbols to provide some sort of imagery to the incarnate experience. It’s been difficult to visualize though I’m currently settled on highlighting dimensions as that is a big aspect of what separates us physically from our sources.
Point (0D) — Essence (Concept). A possibility, idea, or identity before a character has taken any recognizable form.
Line (1D) — Becoming (Narrative). A story unfolding through time. The character begins to take shape through description, action, and development.
Shape (2D) — Form (Vampire Character). The identity becomes recognizable as a character, image, narrative, or fictional being. It can be written, illustrated, animated, or otherwise represented, but remains confined to a conceptual space.
Volume (3D) — Flesh (Incarnate). The identity possesses depth, space, and physical existence. It is no longer encountered only as an image, story, or concept, but as something embodied and lived.
We know fiction exists in a flat conceptual space. Through awakening and outward expression it gains that dimension, volume, and reality.
Dimensions may be one of the most meaningful ways to visualize that relationship between fiction and reality if we were to have a symbol. This is still very much a work in progress so feedback is appreciated.
