#ontian

Basically, i was planning on coining a major term (like alterhumanity, gender, orientation, etc.), but for all things perception and existence. This can be modified into every shape possible.

The term was / is “Ontian”, from ontos, meaning “being” in Greek. This can be a general umbrella term for all things perceptual and/or existential, or it can be used as a suffix in my sublabel thingy.

Which, speaking of:

Autontian

[PT: Autontian. /end PT]

[Image description: A flag consisting of five diagonal grayscale stripes, with a large light gray emblem centered on the flag. The emblem features a rounded inner droplet enclosed by a broader outer form with wing-like side extensions and a pointed upper tip. /end ID]

This is an Ontian identity or experience in which one’s own existence is the primary focus. This includes identities and/or experiences describing how a being (or beings) experiences or relates to their own being or “mode” of existing. Experiences regarding existence itself may still be present, but are secondary (or even tertiary).

Here, the symbol is pointing downward to somewhat symbolize the intrinsic nature of the “sublabel”.

How it can be used —>

Auto- or Aut- (meaning “self”) as the prefix, and -ontian as the suffix.

Exontian

[PT: Exontian. /end PT]

[Image description: A flag consisting of five diagonal grayscale stripes, with a large light gray emblem centered on the flag. The emblem features a rounded inner droplet enclosed by a taller, pointed outer form with a rounded base. /end PT]

An ontian identity or experience in which existence beyond oneself is the primary focus, such as the environment and reality itself. This includes identities and/or experiences that describe how a being (or beings) experiences or relates to existence itself, reality, the environment, the universe, or being as a whole. Experiences concerning one’s own existence may still be present, but are secondary (or even tertiary).

The symbol points upwards, thus somewhat symbolizing the extrinsic nature of the “sublabel”.

How it can be used —>

Exo- or Ex- (meaning “outer”) as the prefix, and -ontian as the suffix.

Panontian

[PT: Panontian. /end PT]

[Image description: A flag consisting of five diagonal grayscale stripes with a dark gray diamond at its center. Two light gray emblems overlap the diamond: the Autontian emblem on the left and the Exontian emblem on the right. /end ID]

An ontian identity or experience in which both one’s own existence and existence overall are of comparable and/or inseparable focus. The being (or beings) experiences the nature of their own existence and the nature of existence itself as interconnected, equally significant, or quite literally impossible to separate.

Two symbols point in opposite directions, hence the duality of the “sublabel”.

How it can be used —>

Pan- (meaning -all) as the prefix, and -ontian as the suffix.

Examples below:

[Images descriptions: Three rectangular flags shown side by side. All three have diagonal bands in pale pink, medium pink, and saturated purple. Their central emblems are composed of a very dark blue-purple outer shape and a muted periwinkle-gray inner shape. The first flag displays the auto-variant emblem, the second displays the exo-variant emblem, and the third displays both emblems side by side over a dark violet diamond at the center. /end ID]

1. Autoneirontian: Experiencing one's own existence as / or in a dream-like, surreal, unstable, flickering, fantastical, and ethereal way.

2. Exoneirontian: Experiencing one’s existence and environment in a dream-like, surreal, unstable, flickering, fantastical, and ethereal way.

3. Panoneirontian: Experiencing one's own existence, as well as the nature of existence, in a dream-like, surreal, unstable, flickering, fantastical, and ethereal way.

Infix used: -oneir(o)- (meaning dream).

[Images descriptions: Three rectangular flags shown side by side. All three use diagonal bands of bright cyan, pale cream, and golden yellow-orange. Their central emblems are made of a coral-orange outer shape and a very light peach inner shape. The first flag displays the auto-variant emblem, the second displays the exo-variant emblem, and the third displays both emblems side by side over a vivid orange diamond at the center. /end ID]

1. Auteuphontian: Experiencing one's own existence as / or in a warm, bright, optimistic, positive, hopeful, helpful, and promising way.

2. Exeuphontian: Experiencing one’s existence and environment in a warm, bright, optimistic, positive, hopeful, helpful, and promising way.

3. Paneuphontian: Experiencing one's own existence, as well as the nature of existence, in a warm, bright, optimistic, positive, hopeful, helpful, and promising way.

Infix used: -euph(o)- (taken from the word “euphoria”).

TL:DR:

Autontian —> How you see your role and existence in this reality

Exontian —> How you see the nature of existence, reality, and your environment

Panontian —> How you see both factors all at once

Modifications are more than welcome. In fact, I'd be joyed to see them.
