Noemata: Background, definition, and use

noema (plural noemata) - noun From Ancient Greek νόημα (nóēma, “concept”, “idea”, “perception”, “thought”).

1. (philosophy) The perceived as it is perceived 2. (philosophy) That which is perceived in the noesis/noema duality 3. (rhetoric) An obscure speech or a speech that only yields meaning upon detailed reflection⁽¹⁾ 4. (otherkin community slang) Knowledge about oneself, one’s kintype, or the life of one’s kintype

———————————–

Almost from the moment I joined the community I lacked a word to describe the distinct images, knowledge, and ‘memories’ that would pop into my head in relation to my psychological kintypes. I was (and still am) very adamant that these kintypes were not past lives, and yet I had many experiences that were similar enough that I, at the time, begrudgingly referred to them as my “kin memories”. Upon sharing my reluctance around using this terminology, I found that many others – both psychological, spiritual, both, and neither – were experiencing the same lexical gap. So when I set out to find a word to bridge that gap, my intentions were to make it as broad and inclusive as physically possible.

It took a day or two of intense googling, before I found the word 'noema’, which is a very rare word in daily speech, and is almost exclusively reserved for one specific branch of philosophy. It has several overlapping definitions (the three main ones listed above, followed by the community’s use), but the one that particularly caught my attention was: “The perceived as it is perceived.”

Now, fair warning, I took a philosophy class in high school that I haven’t been able to shut up about since, so when I saw that rather cryptic definition, it was of course love at first sight. How I’ve come to interpret “the perceived as perceived” after reading a some analyses of Husserl’s philosophy, on which it is based, is as a subjective truth - a noema is something that is real, not because we can prove its existence by scientific measurements, but which is simply real because a person experiences it as such. When discussing noemata in the context of memory-like experiences in the otherkin community, it is thus irrelevant if they’re “real” in any objective way, and the only thing that matters is that the individual experiences them as real.

———————————–

To define is to limit, so with the purpose of the word in mind (to be useful for everyone who felt the lexical gap) I had to be very careful with my phrasing. In my very first attempt at a definition I described a noema as “something in between a memory and an intuition, knowledge that is inherent but has been forgotten/has to be recalled.”⁽²⁾ This is not a definition that I stand by now as I find it too limiting and too focused on memory-like noemata.

In my next post⁽³⁾ about the topic, I didn’t attempt to define it so much as clarify a few things: A noema is not a “kin memory with a psychological explanation”, nor does it have to have any of the qualia of a memory. Any knowledge that has been gained about one’s kintype can be called a noema, including detailed episodic memories and knowledge as simply as your kintype’s eye color or the layout of their house.

In my final attempt to define it, when prompted to because Kiera wanted to add it to their dictionary, I described it as “inherent knowledge you have about your kintype. This may include memories, things you experience as memories but likely aren’t, or general knowledge about your looks, life, habits, or surroundings. Noemata may have a psychological or spiritual basis, may be a mix of the two, or may have unknown origins.”⁽⁴⁾ This is a definition I stand by to this day, though it still prompts some further questions and discussions.

———————————–

For starters, why did I include the word 'inherent’ in that definition? It’s a word I’m very fond of, and you’ll often see it pop up in my long-form writings. I use it to mean 'essential’, 'core’, and sometimes 'permanent’ or 'natural’/'instinctual’. In other words, for something to qualify as a noema it has to be ingrained with your kintype, one way or another - so things you only know because it was taught to you (for example, statistical facts about an animal species) would not count as noemata, but things you discovered on your own would. Even here we run into grey areas, though, because if a piece of knowledge was revealed to you in, say, a dream, would that count as a teaching or a discovery? Or would knowledge you didn’t discover through introspection, but instead felt compelled to seek out and study, count? I can’t say, and I think it’s up to the individual to decide if they want to call something like that a noema or not.

Next, I feel it important to mention that the examples listed in that definition (“memories, things you experience as memories but likely aren’t, or general knowledge about your looks, life, habits, or surroundings”) are only examples. There are other ways to experience noemata, for example (again, only examples and not the be-all-end-all of the word’s coverage) as precognition, visions of a parallel life, feelings about certain things or characters, and confabulations. However, there is one tentative exception: I have not created the word with consciously created scenarios in mind. If you intentionally decide that your kintype has red hair (instead of going off a gut feeling that they have red hair), I would not count that as a noema. Again, with room for grey areas such as OCkin, who have created a character and later come to realize that that character is their kintype.

Though the word has mostly found use as a stand-in for 'memory’ among psychological otherkin, that by no means covers all the ways in which it can be used, and in the past year I have seen it used more and more frequently by nonhumans and alterhumans regardless of the cause of their identity. My intention with introducing the word to the community was always to fix the lexical gap, and as such everyone who feels that gap can use the words 'noema’ and 'noemata’.

Xenopantom Flags!

Repost because Tumblr fucking ate the first one

Our system has really been pushing the boundaries of what counts as a 'phantom limb', so we made our own term! Xenophantom!

Xenophantom: A phantom 'limb' that isn't a limb.

Some xenophantom terms:

Phantom Flashback: A xenophantom of a traumatic event. This includes exotrauma.

Phantom Visualizations: A xenophantom of your headmates or people from past lives with you in meatspace.

Phantom Land: A xenophantom of the land around you being different (feeling leaves crunching beneath your feet, feeling your back on a tree, ect).

Phantom Clothing: A xenophantom of a piece of clothing or an accessory.

Feel free to make your own xenophantom terms, these are just the ones we experience! Preferably stick to the pattern of the flags if you decide to make your own flag, but we won't stop you if you don't.

Alterhuman folks can use these terms too!

[Left: a flag with seven stripes with varying shades of purple and light blue, with a dark purple stripe in the middle. Right: the same flag with the meanings overlayed. The meanings will be discussed in the post.]

Radical System Inclusion

First stripe: Traumagenic and DID/OSDD-1/UDD/etc. and nondisordered traumagenic systems

Second stripe: Endogenic and protogenic, thoughtform/tulpa, paragenic, unknown/mixed origin

Third stripe: Spirigenic, metagenic, parogenic, aethergenic, willogenic, and other spiritual origins

Fourth stripe: Radical acceptance and inclusion of all system/headmate types/origins/functions

Fifth stripe: Educating oneself in the different ways a system can manifest

Sixth stripe: Unlearning previously-held beliefs about system types or origins

Seventh stripe: Loving your own system, not in spite of plurality but because of it

Please do not use this flag if you discriminate against any system origin. This flag shows you are a safe system for anyone to interact with.

I was inspired to make a radical inclusion flag for systems by @rad-inclus-culture-is!

The colors are what we think of when we think of the words “harmony” and “acceptance.”

“Please, let him be soft. I know you made him with gunmetal bones and wolf’s teeth. I know you made him to be a warrior a soldier a hero. But even gunmetal can warp and even wolf’s teeth can dull and I do not want to see him break the way old and worn and overused things do. I do not want to see him go up in flames the way all heroes end up martyrs. I know that you will tell me that the world needs him. The world needs his heart and his faith and his courage and his strength and his bones and his teeth and his blood and his voice and his– The world needs anything he will give them. Damn the world, and damn you too. Damn anyone that ever asked anything of him, damn anyone that ever took anything from him, damn anyone that ever prayed to his name. You know that he will give them everything until there is nothing left of him but the imprint of dust where his feet once trod. You know that he will bear the world like Atlas until his shoulders collapse and his knees buckle and he is crushed by all he used to carry. Dear God, you have already made an Atlas. You have already made an Achilles and an Icarus and a Hercules. You have already made so many heroes, and you can make another again. You can have your pick of heroes. So please, I beg you– he is all that I have, and you have so many heroes and the world has so many more. Let him be soft, and let him be mine.”

— Please, let him be happy ( j.p. )

You might be a soulbonder if:

You are a writer/roleplayer whose fictional characters “have a will of their own” or “refuse to do what they’re supposed to”

You experience what seems like multiplicity/other entities sharing your mind/body, but you don’t fit the diagnostic criteria for dissociative identity disorder/OSDD

You have the sense that fictional characters spontaneously or gradually take up residence in your mind as full people.

You feel like you can ‘channel’ fictional characters spirits the way a medium would channel the spirits of dead people.

You have a fully or partially realized internal space where characters interact in your mind with one another and/or with you

You ‘just know’ things about certain characters even though they were never stated in their source material, whether you are the author or not. (character’s exact height, favorite ice cream, etc)

Someone in fiction, or in real life, addresses a certain character and a reply just automatically comes out of your mouth=

You get into whole conversations with people ‘as’ a fictional character without meaning to

You experience periods of being a fictional character/a fictional character inhabiting your body (shifts/fronting)

You pose a question mentally to a character and they answer back.

You ‘sense’ the presence of a certain character in your mind mentally/emotionally

You sense that a character has a certain emotion for you/or wants something from/for you

You feel an emotional connection/friendship with a character that feels returned

If any of these sound like experiences you’ve had, you might be a soulbonder!
