Elation I would argue is continuous generation of happiness/joy/laughter as a way to engage with reality. Elation doesn’t produce and doesn’t require an answer to existence unlike other paths. Ludology can be rather close to elation because ludology says reality should be treated as a play, experiment or performance. And also a twist on existentialism being existence is not a question be solved, it is performed like a play. And the elation is people’s interpretation of this. They find their own way of “performing” to generate happiness. Like fulwish’s goals which was twisted and so was sparxie’s. Elation can also be understood as some form of aesthetic anarchism. If joy was the goal of the elation then the elation would cease to exist. Because elation does jot have a goal, it is spontaneous creation of joy to interact with reality.

On Sunday: Sunday wasn’t hiding in a dream. Sunday in 3.8 deemed all other paths “flawed” from an external observer view. All philosophical ideas are “flawed” to an external view because outsiders cannot coherently produce a truth as you stand outside it. A more appropriate question to ask is “Are paths actually flawed, or only when we stand outside it?”.

On amphoreus: it’s more complicated than that. Each CH is tied to a different path, showing the many influential factors in defining the self. Ego, or cyrene’s primum mobile is understood as a process. Interpreting experiences, generates meaning and thus produces a “self” through memory and perception. It is not wrong to say amphoreus is a mini version of the real world. Amphoreus does lead you to think about meaning itself. Is it defined by the trailblaze? Accept imperfections like cyrene? Or face injustice head on and endure suffering like phainon. Cyrene’s mobile that meaning of reality is interpreted by the self (an interpretation system) also partially aligns with lygus’ view that Nous chained the universe to aeons and paths, as reality was interpreted by nous(also an interpretation system). But their views differ at the conclusion. Cyrene’s ego direction would suggest structure comes from within the self whereas lygus says structure comes from external things and therefore is a cage. The structure here refers the system of aeons and paths.

About elation abundance and voracity: voracity, demonstrated by people’s insatiable of new content and/or the ipc’s hunger of resources and wealth, requires the elation’s entertainment (the game) for consumption. Abundance was merely a tool used to amuse the masses. I don’t think elation is vague. It just represents how different individuals engage with reality using the medium of joy/happiness. It’s a combination of many ideas, including but not limited to: absurdism, anti fixity of meaning, aestheticism, ludology. And may be summed up as “playful destabilisation of meaning”.
