Correspondence or Coherence Your digital self is not the content of your messages nor is it the thoughts that you project. Your digital self is the projection of your thought. This projection of thought is a real extension, a coherent carrier of the consciousness. Whether you are pretending to be who you think are or trying to be someone you are not the basis of the projection does not vary, you can only project your thought, this relationship between the digital self and the egoic self imposes symmetry. The digital self is born in choice, no action is autonomous, we do not breathe like real people. This lack of necessity forces us to choose the factors that motivate our projections. In effect, we have made the choice to be, now we must choose why to be. x=X Projecting coherently with high correspondence tends to create a vague digital image, this is caused by the the subjective nature of knowledge. If we didn't live just behind our eyes, we wouldn't have that limitation.

Cyber toxicity or Cyber weaponry To create strong memetic blows you must use the principle of adherence. Each meme must be connected to a previous one and the source or driving logic must be incorporated in a cybermass that has digital inertia. (This is most clearly visualized as a sword of linked ideas originating in the hand of a digital self.) Toxic memes have a very high valency, they tend to infect the digital structure and colour the whole, attempting to use them as a weapon often has the unintended side effect of poisoning the wielder. Extreme memes can be incorporated through the use of obvious and balancing deficiencies (ie Pugs) but toxic memes are much more difficult, if not impossible to handle. Do not try and hold a cat underwater, it will hurt you. Take the cat and put it in a bag with some stones, then throw the whole thing off a bridge. You can do this with cats as well.
