Structure emojis

On this website and in our PluralKit proxies, we include emojis to indicate sidesystems, superclusters, and (if applicable) subsystems and sublayers. This is to make it clearer why some headmates always seem to front together, why some headmates seem to have different memories or opinions or wouldn't know about certain things, or (in the case of subsystems) why we seem to have multiple introjects of the same source but with different names.

Here is an example of the start of the proxy of a headmate who is not in a subsystem or a sublayer but, like all members of the system, is in both a sidesystem and a supercluster.

🚀[📼] Bleviel

In other words, sidesystem[supercluster].

Most sidesystems belong to one supercluster. Some (such as the one Bleviel is in) are mixed territories or neutral zones (the name depends on the origins of the sidesystem). These are parts of the system that can have headmates from different superclusters and that are usually about destroying amnesia or about ambiguities we had in it in the past.

Here is an example of the proxy of a headmate who hosts a subsystem:

🎸(⚡)[📚] Zig

🎸 = sidesystem (Mirror String)
⚡ = subsystem (Earth Oddities)
📚 = supercluster (West Voidelia)

In other words, sidesystem(subsystem)[supercluster].

The sidesystem, in headmates without sublayers, listed first, because it is the most numerous type of formal division within the system and are generally considered the most important division with which the headmate is associated.

Here is an example for a subsystem part:

⚡[(🎸)📚] Zayne

In other words, subsystem[(sidesystem)supercluster].

The subsystem is listed first, because subsystem parts consider themselves to be part of the subsystem first and the sidesystem second, which is different from their hosts. The parenthetical for their sidesystem is listed within the brackets (as opposed to brackets listed within a parenthetical).

The supercluster is in brackets, and the subsystem is in parentheses, to indicate they are different.

Some headmates are in sublayers within sidesystems, which are not the same as being a subsystem part or subsystem host.

Sublayers are divisions that are in-between subsystems, layers, and sidesystems, and where the headmates who are in them feel that the sublayer is the most important division to which they belong. It is like a sidesystem WITHIN a sidesystem (not just ATTACHED to the sidesystem).

Here is an example of the proxy of a sublayer member:

🐸(🐺[💿]) Puddleglum

In other words, sublayer[(sidesystem)supercluster].

This is because sublayer members consider their sublayer the most important part of the system that they're in, but it's also subordinate in structure to another part of the system. Therefore, their sublayer is listed first, then their sidesystem, then their supercluster, with the punctuation such that the supercluster is in brackets and the sidesystem to which the sublayer belongs is in parentheses.
