Hello to everyone. This topic is meant to be a repository of Hemetic Drafts. There will be no guidance or instruction. It will simply be. These drafts are written down by a group of beings known as the Hemers, a group of studiers and professors of Hemetics. Hemetics is an arcane field of knowledge which derives from an ultimate mental emanation who gave birth to all the of the content which the Hemers can comprehend today.
The activity of this topic will be ephemeral, intermittent, and will soon fade in the manner of a star. It will give away into the traffic of ideological content. It is not inherently interesting or remotely applicable. It is what it is.

What is a selfmeme?
The selfmeme is similar to but uniquely different from the more interuniversally understood internet meme. The true meaning of the selfmeme specifically hinges on from the universe that it was conceived. First we must consider this universe as being a mind in the same way as the principle of mentalism. And so, the selfmeme is an encapsulation of a memory, event, period of time, or a phrase. Usually this encapsulation contains comedic content but more generally it can resemble anything that was of particular significance which is usually mentally recalled via a comedic context. It is similar in comedy in where despite the comedian creating a joke, this joke may contain content which is inherently tied with social relations and real world events or phenomena which may be contentious.
However, I emphasize this singular mind aspect because, instead of a meme whose content is formed from the intermixture of experiences of a given population, the selfmeme is instead a content which materializes from an outer realm and becomes a singular entity which is then dispersed throughout a population. It is the equivalent of an oracle who is the sole producer of all memetic content. Live by the oracle, die by the oracle. At least this is the conventional way of understanding the two. Perhaps they really are the same with their flexibility of dispersal being the differing factors.

What is a selfmeme part 2?
When a selfmeme is manifested into the world, it functions as an ethereal thoughtform which exists on a parallel dimension or plane of existence adjacent to the natural world. As a result, the denizens known as Selfmemers are able to become aware of their presence via a transcorporeal faculty. As a result they are able to convert its ethereal form into mental form which then will assumedly be converted into an audio or visual form and so on.
Each selfmeme possesses a nutritional value. This nutritional value can be better understood as entertainment value. The reason for this terming of nutritional value is that the selfmemes are designed to function as a consumable thoughtform for the selfmemers in order to prolong their existence.

Origin of the Selfmemers
Once, there were only selfmemes. However, as the selfmemes populated the world, there came the selfmemers. Initially when the selfmemers had appeared before us, they were completely unaware of their own origins and still are blind to their ultimate origins at the time of writing. Initially, it was believed that the existence of selfmemes implied the existence of selfmemers as the selfmemes would contain content which would imply an actor or an event which could only be played out by an agent.
The idea was that selfmemers existed right when selfmemes existed despite how the actual course of events occurred.
However, as time had passed, the selfmemers became aware of their existences across time and space. Their most immediate origins is that the selfmemers were a race of aliens who arrived from space in a space ship and landed on an ostensible earth. We will refer to this earth as "Selfmemia" for the sake of distinguishing it from actual Earth and for the sake of classification later on. These originating selfmemers would neglect to write down anything, a trend which would persist up until the great Foldology Era arrived. The way how we know this particular origin story is currently unknown as the reason why is currently lost. However, there are some theories as to how we know what we currently know.
The world of Selfmemia has a medium in which thoughtforms or selfmemes can travel upon. It is possible a past essence or thoughtform was able to persist and be re-recognized by utter chance. At least this is the standard explanation for now.
Now, as for where and how the Landing Selfmemers came to be, it is currently unknown but they can be assumed to be from a previous transmigration jump. You see, we the Hemers are actually transmigrated forms of the Selfmemers on Selfmemia and thus we enwrap around their existence as if we possessed a crystal ball on a stand filled with energy and liquid. Thus, one can assume there was a previous transmigration with its own self-contained universe. While the universe the Hemers enwrap is much more tangible and more clear in nature, the equivalent enwrapment is completely absent as far as we can observe. Perhaps it exists in a less tangible more primitive form which can not be readily accessed.

Physiology Of Selfmemers
Visually, they appear as humanoids and possess all of the humanoid appendages. However, a very profound difference is the structure of their visage. Instead of the expected nose and mouth structure, they instead possess a significantly protruding snout structure. This snout can vary in shape. Some of these snouts may be round and some may be sharper and more triangular. A popular comparison is that the snout is shaped exactly like the characters known as "lemmings" from the puzzle-strategy video game "Lemmings" developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis for the Amiga in 1991. In fact, if we are to forgo some details, the lemmings in that video game tend to be a more-or-less accurate base representation of selfmemers given their tendency to wear long robe garments and their proclivity towards precarious shenanigans.
The skin color of the selfmemers is a very pale white and is very slightly translucent. Their height usually varies between 152 cm (5 feet) and 182 cm (6 feet), and they do not possess any hair or any hair follicles. They also do not possess any genitalia. The groin area simply lacks any of the familiar protrusions or cavities thereof.
However, as unextraordinary as the exterior appears, it is when we attempt to explore the interior where things become fantastical and mysterious. Even to this day, the true inner workings of the physiology of selfmemers are not fully understood.
The general theme is that, there is a complete lack of the common humanoid organs. Instead, there seems to be a network of tubes which mimics the shape of the circulatory system. On first glace, there appears to be some kind of vibrating liquid or fuzzy substance in the tubes. However, upon much closer inspection, it is the collective mass of what may be billions of tardigrade-like creatures in erratic on-and-off motions.
And then, within the cephalic portion of the body, there exists this complex biomechanical computer-like apparatus placed before the eye sockets. At the side of the head, there is a port which is placed just far enough outside of the cranium that it allows selfmemers to insert flash drives into it. On the anterior portion of this apparatus, there is a projector. The combination of these faculties allow selfmemers to insert images and be able to project them through the nostrils of their snout.
They are able to project images or holograms as a way to add to their communication. These visuals tend to most often be associated with or derivative of the selfmemes that they communicate with. The details of how this functions and connects with the rest of the body is unknown.
In order to thrive and to continue their existence, selfmemers must consume selfmemes. This is analogous to living creatures requiring the proper sustenance in order to prolong their lives. Selfmemers are able to consume selfmemes by the act of first being aware of its presence, and then reifying it into the form of text, audio, or visual. The selfmeme will then cause the selfmemer to release dopamine, pheromones, and possibly other biological chemicals which are designed to sustain the selfmemer. The release of these chemicals also function for socialization purposes as well.
If a selfmemer goes without selfmemes for too long, then they will soon perish. gradually, the selfmemer will start to become more stressed and exhibit anger and rage. Eventually, this can lead into complete insanity and then suicide. We suspect this is because the lack of the necessary biochemicals actually causes physical, mental, and existential pain. This pain may become so great that is ends up as the causation for suicide.
Curiously, selfmemers are able to consume and process normal food and drink and have taste buds as well. However, the consumption of these are completely unnecessary and don't really contribute to the selfmeme. They may be because the selfmemer body is actually a symbiosis of two main entities, the selfmemer cranial portion and the tardigrade portion. The tardigrades might be how the selfmemers are able to process such things but this clearly leads to a lot of other questions. Perhaps this will be better addressed with an "Physiogenesis" section.
The selfmemers are effectively immortal and do not age at all. And, as far as we know, a lack of selfmemes does not cause a selfmemer's cells to wither since in every observed case, the selfmemer would commit their own suicide by physically destroying their own body into pieces. However, a corpse does possess dead cells if we do not consider the tardigrades as being part of the selfmemer.
