\chapter{Introduction}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hey there Reader... I'm not sure really what this will be. I have some
|
|
|
|
ideas to have something that this be a Syszine... So, I guess maybe
|
|
|
|
the idea of what is a Syszine would be a thing to have here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So let's do a bit of a what ideas we have. But more here for now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, a few days ago (I think it was Thursday, but may have been Wednesday)
|
|
|
|
we received our copy of
|
2023-11-19 00:23:31 -08:00
|
|
|
{\it Broken Pencil} \cite{brokenp2023-f}\todo{This needs to be
|
2023-11-18 23:48:37 -08:00
|
|
|
fixed}, that lead us to want to do some zine type thing, which with
|
2023-11-19 00:23:31 -08:00
|
|
|
the reference to {\it America's Dreaming Zine \#11}
|
|
|
|
\cite{bp-amerdream}, this was what we kind of came up with.
|
2023-11-18 23:48:37 -08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's a bit of a zine which we want to just do a variety of stuff with,
|
|
|
|
and not really worry about the usual things that we've been trying to
|
|
|
|
do with other zines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will be terrible. Or maybe just suck. It's probably not going to
|
|
|
|
be OK to us, but we'll try to actually get it out, rather than making
|
|
|
|
it be something that we want to have be good enough for what we want
|
|
|
|
it to be.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another aspect of what has lead to this, is ... A friend came over today
|
|
|
|
and we ended up talking about journaling for about 2 hours. That wanted
|
|
|
|
me to get some of that information down into here as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, while {\it America's Dreaming Zine \#11}, is a Perzine, we are
|
|
|
|
calling this a Syszine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are calling it a Syszine because we are a plural system. It may not
|
|
|
|
be entirely clear who is writing which portions, at least, unless we
|
|
|
|
state who it is. We will try to put something in if it ends up being
|
|
|
|
important to indicate who is writing various portions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As we write different parts, we'll include a short ``Chapter
|
|
|
|
Description'' type thing for each portion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section{Chapter Descriptions}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's not the right name, but it's a short paragraph or two about
|
|
|
|
each of the different chapters in this zine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Introduction}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hey, that's here. It seems that writing much more than that here really
|
|
|
|
does not make a whole lot of sense. But this is what this will look like
|
|
|
|
for further chapters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection{What is a Syszine?}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We talk about how a Syszine is similar to a Perzine, except that it is
|
|
|
|
based on a plural system, rather than a singleton person. It also has
|
|
|
|
lead to the inclusion of more about plural systems in the future, and
|
|
|
|
about the name of our system ``Datse Collective'' and how that name
|
|
|
|
came about.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section{Plans}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's some of the plans we have for this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}[nosep]
|
|
|
|
\item{What is a Syszine}
|
|
|
|
\item{Who are we?}
|
|
|
|
\item{Journalling?}
|
|
|
|
\item{What are Plural Systems?}
|
|
|
|
\item{Where did the Name Datse Collective Come From?}
|
|
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That is a decent place to start. The list is a little weird right now.
|
|
|
|
We'll try to get it fitting a bit better than that in the future.
