Tachyon's use of I and i

Post by amagg »

I didn't have time to check whether this has been brought up already, but has anyone noticed that in Tachyon's text videos she uses an uppercase I to refer to herself and a lowercase i to talk about someone else, who I assume is Bree?

What do you make of this?

Ooh this was brought up a while ago actually.. I'll try and find it for you.
There were a couple of theories.. mine was that "I" was the Agent part of her talking and the "i" was her real self talking. Kinda like a public face and a private face.
There was another much better theory which I'll look for. Someone else might post it in the meantime.
"Have you ever transcended space and time?"
"Yes. No. Uh, time not space. No. I don't know what you're talking about."

Here's the thread:

Ok I just re-read it and it's quite inconclusive, but you can see some of the ideas they went through. There was a really good one somewhere but I can't find it for the life of me.
Like I said before, I'm sure someone else will come and fill you in properly.

Yeah, that was my moment of glory and 15 minutes of fame, when Oppy quoted me on her YT profile.

I is Sister and i is the girl that OpAphid knows.

In her first drop video she somewhat confirms this: "I learned more in that last hour than "i" did in her entire existance" If you swap out i for a name they read more clearly. Examples are in the old threads and in the LGpedia. Look up Tachyon and select the character. All of her videos should be available to link over to and there are transcripts as it appears in the video and with the Julie/i sibstitution. ^_^
