The UNITY LIFE Archive — THE SIMULATED ALCHEMY OF JARED LETO IN 30STM & TRON ARES — led to a huge inspiration for a whole new type of archive (article). This particular piece seemed to draw very powerfully from other archives that had come, as well as FACET 6(78) ◊ FAMILY from The 72 FACETS (IN 144) which it has become a core resources of. Increasingly it started to feel much more interconnected with other resources here, as parts of it were also used in the card information for The 7 of 9 ⨺ SOLVE COAGULA Mind Map System (Prototype). Also a Part 2 of the archive was posted to my raw materials blog in my bio, although in the creation of this Part 2 I've felt that the 2 parts should be combined into one. This called for a new way to present so much dense, interlocking information in such a way that isn't overwhelming with too much content. It really felt like the first one was way too short considering the importance of the piece, and yet it's also important not to overwhelm readers.
As I pontificated on this plan, I announced somewhere at one point that it would become what is called a Master Archive, similar in format to MASTER ARCHIVE ◊ DITA VON TEESE ◊ OBJECTS MATERIALIZED FROM THIN AIR which is the first Master Archive. But increasingly as I contemplated this, I started to realize that the format and organization needs to be different from this specific Master Archive genre, in order to convey this particular quality of interconnection I'm finding here. Eventually I came up with a new plan for how the information will be organized and presented which I'm announcing here.
I believe that other archives will naturally have this same quality. One couple of archives which I'm thinking of also happen to be about Jared Leto (which may in some fascinating way be no conicidence) — the two Part 1 & 2 archives available so far in his defence. And so, it seems to call for a whole new archive genre, which I'm thinking of naming something like a UNITY LIFE ArHive (perhaps). The word hive was used by Jared Leto in his authoring of a unique and exceptionally intimate and personally handled way of managing his high volume platform of social media accts which was called "The Hive". It is not clear if The Hive is currently in action, but there are vague indications that Jared has put priorities elsewhere and stopped managing his social media with such a small and intimate group. That said, this history probably still greatly influences how he does things. Although he likely meant the word as a Hive of Echelon (fans of Jared and 30STM), I'm using it here to represent a hive of stars. Since other stars are the main feature of the other resources which interconnect so well with this piece, I'm thinking it's a star hive. One might imagine that on some subtle level, they have worked together like bees to create this with me.
