\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 
{\it Broken Pencil}\cite{brokenp2023-f}\footnote{This needs to be 
fixed}, that lead us to want to do some zine type thing, which with
the reference to {\it America's Dreaming Zine \#11}\cite{bp-amerdream}, 
this was what we kind of came up with.

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.
