Honkai: Star Rail Discussion Thread

So from what I’m getting from Prometheus, Honkai (Herrschers) are the Narrator whilst Civilization is the story? So they want the narrative (civilization) to be freed from narration by, in a sense, removing the “individual” from the “individual’s story” and keeping only the “story” itself? So going from what Kevin said, they want Civilization but without Humanity. And the “Forms” here I suppose are the “concept of absoluteness” that has achieved universality by being freed from individuality? And consequently freed from narration (Honkai)?

I have no idea what that means but sure
 
It's insane how she says a herrscher can't destroy a bubble world when Bronya literally does that in like Chapter 10-11 with SoE
In her defense, she did say "most," and while this is my personal rationalization, I kinda just assumed the "of this size" was left unsaid because of the general context of the situation, as the bubble universes being nuked were the size of dwarf planets. Its similar to how Helia says the power to destroy a continent would spell doomsday for a bubble universe. Its a general statement, but seemed informed but Oxia being a tiny city and obviously isn't true in general.

Oh yea whoever the guy that said the barrier wasnt unstable…
Again, is this some chapter 13 lore I don't know about? Did they confirm that the fluctuations were unique to Earth's barrier, how long they lasted, or what caused them? Did they confirm they lasted a billion years and that this was why Sparkle and Sampo got in, even though Sa was walled in for some reason? Where's the context?

Hi3 Imaginary barrier > aeons

Couldnt locate the solar system because of a random ass barrier

Like if its barrier agenda you want, there are tons of Hi3 locals who canonically jobbed to it. Its energy is comparable to the Cocoon, the Cocoon has no control whatsoever close to it, to point Sa could hide there and its own Honkai beasts completely broke free of it, Sa with 10K years of SoQ energy can't go past it and thought she was better off trying to supplant the Cocoon. Supreme genius Dr. MEI came up with the plan to shoot someone into deep space, somehow oblivious to the barrier even being there. Surely you can make do with that.

Yea they confirmed it in chapter 13 i accidently clicked on it when i loaded the game but it literally says “the once impassibnle barrier is fluctuating this is our only chance to bypass it. But can naharlab pass through it with her power” or something along the lines of that

Marah knows more about the cocoon than herrschers… marah… the same mf who has never seen the cocoon… and jobs to random honkai beasts… surely that source is reliable

ik what scan is but from which chapter/event is the scan actually coming from and where can you find it
 
So like,

Every human has an individual story” (narrative). That story is their life and the change they experience throughout the story

The honkai is the “narrator” of the story. They control the stories of every human (finality resets)

Kevin or moreso project stigma wants to ascend humanity by stripping them of their individual stories (individuality) and combining those stories into one narrative above the narrators (honka)

Civilization is a collection of stories and those stories will combine into one story, so civilization wont be lost but individuality will be lost to the unity of civilization

I think.
 
Correct me if im wrong @SuperNova55555 , but i think it means project stigma will free humanity of their individuality and return them to unity in imaginary space
So the way I see it is that the current Civilization is a story (Ideas/Culture/History) narrated by humans (individuals). So as a person exists, they possess their own story.

What Project Stigma attempts to do is to remove the “individuals” from the equation and replace them with pure Forms (ideas), so rather than ideas told by humans, the ideas exist independently. So if there is a “person’s story”, you remove the “person” and keep the “story”. In this sense, Civilization is now a story, yes, but no longer one that is narrated by people.

And by redefining human Civilization from “a narrated story” to a “story without a narrator”, Cocoon no longer wishes to embrace them because it no longer considers humanity “its kind”. Since, after all, Cocoon itself is such a Civilization; just one that has become undivided. And from what I’ve heard from ya’ll, it seems that towards the end of the arc, Cocoon itself is the “narrator”, which naturally cares not for a story that is un-narratable.

where is this from
Chapter 33, the part after the main trio meets Prometheus after the latter escapes the collapsing Bubble World.

So my second long message wasnt too far off.

And yes in C35 you will see that they confirm the cocoon is the narrator
 
Do we can consider imaginary concept (not the energy) and imaginary tree as type 1 concept, since they are literally the foundational laws that predates reality

Imaginary Tree is just a structural, so no. As for the “Imaginary” itself, that is still way too unqualified a term to properly cash out.
 
Because like, imaginary/honkai energy isnt the honkai itself just the energy system deriving from the honkai. Like we wouldnt say taixuan stuff like eminence and mantra are just energy right?

That sounds like the cocoon to, like isn't cocoon an entire civilization merged into one, so project stigma is make a stronger cocoon in a sense, well what it sounds to me at least

Its theorized to be which would make sense since the cocoon is trying to infuse unholy amounts of honkai into planets to hopefully make them ascend with their civilizations aswell and it wont be lonely
 
Does the imaginary concept even exist

Or would that just be the honkai?
No clue. In fact, we barely know what the Honkai even is. It’s a different thing in pretty much every game.

Having a civilization with no narrator and a civilization fused with its planet are different things probably.

The sundering solos fr 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

But you arent wrong

Abyssal energy
Sundering
Imaginary
Honkai
“Honkai universe” in ggz
Ether

Like not all of these are higher dimensional (sundering and ether) like the honkai donits like wtf are we doing

Were any of the questions I asked actually answered? Do they explain that this is unique to that that barrier, how long it lasted, or what caused it, or give any context at all? Because otherwise its nothing I don't already know. Just a fluctuations with zero context.

Yea its barrier upscale
Where? The first scan confirms the Aeons can glance beyond it and their power enables it to be traversed, the second scan confirms its not making the system undetectable. So where do we get the upscale?

Yea its barrier upscale

You mean the same Herrschers who didn't even know the Cocoon was a thing until it was explained to them? What Herrscher even contradicted Marah? She said its masterless imaginary energy that's comparable to the Cocoon but not subject to it. Which Herrscher said otherwise?

People managed to find out that the Cocoon was an entity that existed, that it was behind the Honkai and Herrschers, found out a way to somehow displace it from Venus with a Sea of Quanta tide, found ways to locate its realm and hack into it, and all this was achieved without anyone ever meeting it, so meeting it has never been a requirement to be informed of its attributes.
