I have tried to decode the code (pun) from the background. The process is opinionated which I realize and should not be treated as an objective truth. I won't however analyze the lore because I feel like I'm lacking the greater context. I also won't be explaining two same verses twice. Let's define 2 things. (1) When some text is /** * Commented * Even across multiple lines */ It is a statement of a Wish. // This is a Wish too Somebody wants something but it may be actually not achieved. (2) Code, all text outside (1), is what actually exists in the domain of this song. It is the Reality. Wish and Reality, remember this. Let's define how the code is going to be analyzed. The code is divided into larger blocks consisting of multiple lines. Between these, there is empty space. I will timestamp the larger blocks and try to analyze one by one. I will not look into every detail found in the code. I will only try to outline my train of thought. 0:13 No clue 0:15 Song author seems to be announcing what the song is going to be about. Then the song starts. We can see there is a World being created and two Ghosts. The World is the two Ghosts and what interactions will entail, happen later between them. What is interesting is the Ghosts are put into Life containers. In programming it's a common practice to put a specific object (Ghost) into a more general container (Life). That hints at a fact the two Ghosts live in a World that can be inhabited by others who are not Ghosts. Remember this. 0:53 Comment states abstraction=beauty. Clarity (an act of giving a strict form) is ugliness then. Code states that if the more beautiful of the Ghosts is appreciating abstraction then both are ugly. That means the Wish is different from the Reality. 1:01 If one Ghost has a deviation of its own then in the scope of their own World it is ok to accept it and pursue it. (Being open minded and all that stuff) 1:08 I understand MUX>>>DEMUX the following way. It's a wish that both Ghosts will only listen to one another and not anyone else. But in turn they will inevitably stand out more to the outside world. NAND would state a wish that it's true at least 1 of them understands the another or they both understand one another. The Reality is that if one Ghost doesn't understand how the Other feels about them both, then it is still accepted. 1:23 If one of the Ghosts has some thoughts then it tries to spill the beans. If it doesn't work then their relationship ends. 1:50 If the confession is not supported by enough affection from the confessant then the relationship fails. Otherwise the confession is successful and the two Ghosts get a little closer. 2:12 If the simulation is the same as the original then the original is killed and the simulation lives on. That may imply at an idealization of someone's personality of some kind. I have no idea what these numbers mean though (1993, 227760). Date of birth? Just look how the background colors faded. I assume this and a few of the following parts of the song will be a reminiscence of the past. 2:24 Rivers may represent something. Like, they may be an evidence of a failure of actions the Ghosts undertook. Rivers on Earth support life so destroying them would cause a general harm. For every river in the World the Ghosts exchange affection as if comforting one another. 2:31 The Ghosts cannot speak in a scornful, ridiculing manner at all. Now we have to go back to what I decoded at 0:15. The Program doesn't anticipate any more Life forms in the World. There are only 2 Ghosts. One is better. That one is attacked by its doubts and by the other. It appears to me like they don't want to progress. They want to stay in their comfort zone and never grow up. 2:41 From now on Me = the abuser Ghost You = the abused Ghost You becomes abused by meeting the demands of the other. The abuse is the fact it cannot do as it wills. 2:50 The World starts feeling uncomfortable for You. Remember, the World is just the 2 Ghosts and their interactions between one another. You feels shame (pollution). It makes the World not so perfect anymore and it's all because of Me. 2:57 But You cannot leave. It is its place of comfort. There can only acceptance happen, getting used to. 3:03 Me instills, makes sure to keep this state of things. It is also its World of comfort after all. 3:10 The Wish is that there must be a person in the real world that will understand me as well as I do myself. Then I can create a World with that person and we can understand one another. But that person is non-existing. I am myself and truth is that person can only be me. The Reality states You and Me try to become a family. Me cannot be truly happy with You or itself however (cannot get out of the comfort zone and move on with the real life by means of support from You or from pulling itself together) and resigns from this involvement. 3:30 And resignation causes suffering to Me who craves for proximity, closeness but ends up alone all the time. 3:40 At times there comes a realization of what a wretch Me is. A wretch since it doesn't bother progressing, changing, taking actions. It only projects its frustrations or sorrows onto You by asking about the future. There is also a doubt that Me poses onto their very relationship "To where? [Does our relationship lead, maybe it doesn't make sense?]" 4:14 See 1:01 but as an abusive act. There are also three colors. Red, green and yellow. Yellow and not blue. Remember this. 4:25 In IT "#0000ff" = blue color. When screen goes blue it means the system was overwhelmed and shut down under pressure. Wish states that You feels disoriented by Me. Since in 4:14 Me forbade You from using the blue color we can witness here, for the first time, an open aggression. Me becomes an aggressive abuser for You. 4:34 If any quarrel between You and Me becomes dominated by Me then their relationship ends. I suppose that's because You cannot stand so much abuse in such circumstances. 4:41 A zero day is a cyber security term used as a metaphor here. It may refer to an undisclosed trait of a personality that unexpectedly boils out and leaves the person vulnerable. Anyhow, both Ghosts are freed from sadness and their vulnerabilities which could render them sad again. 4:52 Me becomes abusive. 4:59 Me becomes aggressive. Aggression however is a way of hiding a weakness. Me doesn't want to disclose its vulnerability. That would only end up bringing it out of its comfort zone it so much cherishes. Its relationship with You is challenged which asks too much out of the psychologically stunted, egoistic Me. It cannot open up to You. It has a World of its own after all. Maybe You doesn't belong there anymore? 5:08 You seems to have managed liberating itself from Me's influence. 5:16 The relationship is over. But Me realizes just now it needs You to feel the comfort zone for some reason. Its egoism allows it to step down from aggression and throw final words of desperation. You remains distant from this plea. 5:18 Now that You is gone the only thing that's left is to hold on to the remains, memories of what it needs for its perfect World, its comfort zone. The memories of You. But that doesn't last for long. It's just a memory, an object, not a living Ghost, a mystery. 5:31 Me Wishes to continue this path, it didn't change even after You left it. *** "The biggest emotional motivation for a human is fear. The biggest kind of fear is the fear of the unknown" Learning, education, self development is an uncharted, unknown process. Therefore it may be hard to embrace this fear. Don't let it become an unconscious fear, it will start motivating your actions. You will be deterred from self development. The diagnosis is gloom but there is a seeming remedy. Self psychology. Reward yourself for embracing this fear of the unknown, uncharted process of learning. Be gentle with yourself. Imagine it's a great boulder and moving it an inch is a tremendous success. Inch by inch, by inch, by ... And at last after 10 years you will be able to look over your shoulder and see you have walked to the Moon. Such is the nature of good habits, or of vice.

It has several other positive commands. It is part of a relationship for a person to have defects. (And "gaslight" is a horrible term to define a context of manipulation or abuse in a relationship. There is depth even to a person's bad points, which this type of generic / modern term ignores.) And both seem to want to dominate each other, seeing from the lyrics of each part. Also, there is even a command about forgiveness at the end.

In most programming languages You can put in "++" on a variable in order to increment it by 1. It's the same as just doing "variable += 1;" but its useful for keeping things neat and organized. You usally use the ++ for things you want to constantly increment until a certain point. Most commonly in loops like for, and while loops. The title sustain++ Is saying to constantly increase sustainability.

[@sofiacoffee5556]

thank you for sharing this!!

[@StickmanCorp]

The class is also named SustainPlusPlus, and you don't increment a class; it would be a naming convention derived from the C++ language. In which case it could simply mean an once "improved" sustainability, rather than a constantly incrementing one. Except for one occurrence, most of the "sustain++" in the code are commented out, (disabled, by the // at the beginning of the line); an attempt was made to increase sustainability, but the programmer eventually decided it worked better without it.

01:04 "I'm not mine NAND I'm not yours" This sounds like she is neither herself's or her partner's, but she says NAND, not AND. A Not-And gate outputs FALSE if and only if both inputs are true. In order for the statement to be TRUE, at least one of the sub-statements needs to be false. The statement actually translates to "I'm mine and/or I'm yours".

[@sorayaatiqi3616]

This Is big bruh energy, thank you for opening a window

[@makefile_dot_in390]

Actually, it translates to "I'm either mine, yours, or nobody's" since "and/or" explicitly states that both operands may be true at the same time. e: I wrote the translation for I'm not mine _XOR_ I'm not yours at first. It's fixed now. e2: nvm @StickmanCorp. actually was correct since the statement is I'm *not* mine NAND I'm *not* yours. The operands are each negated, which means that this will be true in every case except if the person doesn't belong to themself, and doesn't belong to the addressee - in other words, it's a convoluted way of saying "I'm mine OR I'm yours". OR is an inclusive or, so "I'm mine and/or I'm yours is correct"

[@TDH12]

After an in-depth reading at the code and trying to tie that in with the lyrics being said, a more literal interpretation is that the song is a program that simulates a (or tries to anyway), a " healthy and sustainable relationship" (darling). But the events that happen are far from it. Instead, what happens is a toxic and manipulative relationship. If you notice the parts where the sustain increment is shown (sustain++;), it is commented out (//sustain++;). I believe that that implies that no matter what the program tries, the relationship is and never was sustainable in the first place/could not be sustained. Though it looks somewhere at the start, the "you" tries to bring it up, but maybe was too scared for the relationship to end or something, never brought it up seen here: /** * This could end right here if you don't let it out * Let it out */ if (you.getThoughts().size() != 0) { try { you sayTo(you.getThoughts(-), me); you.clearThoughts(); } catch (TooMuchOfAPussyException e) { world.getRelationship(me,you).end(); } } Now, the parts that support the toxic relationship theory are:- When both "me" and "you" ignore or filter out insults and use the fact that they are fighting against "those on top" to sustain their relationship, or at least, work together, seen here: /** * And mumble some stupid stuff * Like * "I saw it coming" * Pretend it's not happening * Us losers do nothing so winners keep winning */ String[] tags = {"stupid", "dumb", "petty", "ignorant"}; world.mute(me,tags); world.mute(you, tags); for (Life them : world.getLifeTopOnePercent()) { me.fight(them); you.fight(them); } The "me", at this point, controlling the life of "you" and "you" getting Stockholm syndrome: /** * Sit * Fetch your leash * DICTATED ECONOMY */ me.command(you, "sit"); me.command(you, "fetch"); you.pay(me, you.getFinanceProperties(), "educational purposes"); /** * Show me * Your belly * FORGOTTEN ECOLOGY */ me.command(you, "strip"); me.command(you, "exhibit"); world.addPollution("environmental", "indecency", you); /** * Stay * Okay, eat * HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY */ me.command(you, "stay"); me.command(you, "eat"); you.love(me); /** * g 0 0 d b o i * Here's a treat * HUNGRY FOR ENERGY */ me.praise(you, "Good boy."); me.gift(you, "meat"); you.consumeLast(); It's a possibility that the "me" does this in search of a parental role or something indicative of the next few lines (not gonna put more or this is gonna take a whole page). And from the code and lyrics "Call me mommy" and "Call me daddy", probably this fetish has deeper roots than just a kink. The next part after the "Call me daddy" part, is likely a fallout between them ending in a fight. Then the fully toxic aspects of "me" manifest in their attempt to try and keep the relationship together, which eventually still fails: /** * It's all just sunk cost, I know * But I'm not ready to stop */ me.manipulate(you, "beg"); me.manipulate(you, "gaslight"); me.manipulate(you, "blame"); me.manipulate(you, "tears"); world.getRelationship(me, you).end(); you.setMemory(me, null); The end has "me" get a last remembrance of their relationship before forgetting about it. The last part where Momo says plus repeatedly is followed by the same commented out increment, possibly signifying that any chances to sustain that relationship is long gone or impossible. Any thoughts to add or correct me are appreciated.

[@carondacaronda9894]

Excellent job decoding the song! I agree with about all of your interpretation. * If abstraction is the definition of beauty * Are those of us chasing after clarity * A representation of ugly? When you are living in a dream everything is beautiful but when the dream stops and you face reality things are not beautiful anymore. both "me" and "you" are facing reality. world.giveBestAward("ugly", me); world.giveBestAward("ugly", you); I think that their relationship started good and they had plans and dreams for the future. I believe that they loved each other. "me" was manipulative since the beginning. "you" was kinda passive easy to control person and "me" took advantage of that. "you" was "ToomuchOfApussy" for keeping quiet about their falling relationship. They got married and had kids? and they("me"?) wanted to have a happy family and be the best parents . Years pass by and they are getting old, the love starts to fade, the goals set were not achieved . Now reaching these goals are like "looking for ghosts of the non existing kind". * We keep chasing * Dreaming about the perfect being * Perfect parents who are non-existing * Our bodies grew, our minds stayed the same */ if (me.getDreamParents().equals(parents)) { me.setParents(parents); } else { me.throwTantrum(); The goal of having a happy family failed. "me" was never happy . me.addFamily(g); if (me.isHappy()) { if (parents[0] == null) { parents[0] = g; } else if (parents[1] == null) { parents[1] = g; } else { //IGNORED because 'me' is never happy //and will never be happy anyway } } me.removeFamily(g); } Their kinky relationship was more a fetish of "you" than "me". "me' was in control of their relationship but "you" was in control during these fetishes encounters. if (you.getFetishes().searchByType("name calling", "mommy") != -1) { you.addToMemory(me); you.setNicknameFor(you.getMemory(me), "mommy"); and you.setNicknameFor(you.getMemory(me), "daddy"); String[] vocab = {"sir", "yes", "no", "please", "thank you", "master", "red", "green", "yellow"}; you.setVocabulary(vocab); its all you,you,you. Their relationship failed at the end. During the final argument she push him too far. She tried to manipulate his feelings to win the argument me.manipulate(you, "beg"); me.manipulate(you, "blame"); me.manipulate(you, "tears"); but he won't had it and decided to quit their relationship. "you.setMemory (me, null)" I believed that she kept the memories of the relationship. She did not deleted them. but he and the world decided to forget about them "you.setMemory (me, null)" and "world.setRelationship(me, you, null);"

[@remixtheidiot5771]

Makes the line "you turn my screen #0000FF" hit harder for me. Its my favorite line for how strange it is. the composer had balls to try to make that sound good and I love it as they did make it sound really good. #0000FF is hexadecimal color code for the color red I think. How it works is that you seperate the 6 digits into 2 digits, the digits go from 00 (zero) to FF (255) the higher the number the brighter that color is. In order they are blue, green, red. Or is it red, green, blue? Too lazy to check lol. Edit: #0000ff means blue... Not red. For some reason I thought of red screen instead of blue screen lol.

[@thebuffman5597]

Actually thinking about it I just think this is object oriented programming(OOP). If they have defined the classes before, gave them all attributes, etc. this is pretty accurate. After World world = new World(); Everything is accurate imo. no syntax error. Classes are usually in a seperate section, you can put it in the same but in C# we put it in another whole class.cs, so as long as there are declarations for world, etc. like above mentioned, then everything is fine.

That's from my perspective

4:17 #0000ff = blue “You said that blue is life” Sl0t

[@heavenseeker2320]

Oh shit that a find

[@graytiamat]

Not just that, the line "You made my screen #0000ff" is likely a reference to the infamous blue screen of death, essentially saying that the program encountered a critical error as a result of the one it's singing to. What's interesting is that "blue is life" and "blue screen of death" are direct contradictions to one another.

[@kontrol42]

Gray Tiamat187 I feel like this song is one big contradiction. I believe we’re following a couple that didn’t quite grow as human beings, didn’t know where to go next or whether there’s anywhere to go at all, which resulted in girl’s tantrum, after which they began to fight and broke up, even though she really wanted them to still be together. Perhaps we’re looking at abusive relationship as well?

[@NekoNekoMe123]

kontrol42 considering one section of commands towards the end literally has the command *"gaslight"* as part of it, I'm fairly certain whatever the relationship had been, it became abusive by the end no matter how anyone felt

[@이름뭘로하지-y6o]

Just noticed something about the video: Around 1:55, when verse 2 starts, the colors in the video start getting less saturated until it's close to gray at 2:35 (the "fetch your leash" part). This may mean that the singer is beginning to gaslight/look down on the person A they are talking to, which makes A's sense of "self" dimmer or smth And around 3:45, when the singer nd A ask each other "where do we go from here"(yes it's both of them, when the lines say honey the code is you.ask(me), with darling it's me.ask(you)), the colors become more saturated. This may mean A came broke free from the manipulation since the singer was asking A for help instead of leading, which may have lead A to start questioning things (Gaslighting is making the victim feel inferior/dependent to the offender, so A would be questioning why the "superior" one is asking the "inferior" what to do) And when the singer says "you make my head #0000FF" the screen is completely saturated with the background a bright blue, similar to the hex code #0000FF. I'm not the best at theorizing or summarizing so sorry for the wall of text XD if I got anytuing wrong feel free to tell me!

How did you like it? Is it good? I just looked up some reviews on MAL but it seemed like most people were just hating on it for being different to the orignal...

[@zapzap365]

good for you

[@Ojyh]

@@einfachnurleo7099 Well it was ok. I don't really like the asethetic, and the animation is not so good either. They're taking advantage of the 3D in some situations, which is good. I could really enjoy a 3D GitS, the problem is that it's not really well done most of the time. There is a strange first part to the intrigue where they introduce a new character and then they get rid of him, he was absolutely useless in the end. And then in the second part it starts to resemble more and more the classic type of intrigue we have in the SAC series. So it's not that bad but it doesn't do anything that is really great. I'll watch season2 when it comes out, and I hope it will give us some interesting relfexions on society that we didn't hear a million times already, like a good social sci-fi series should. And also if they can take some time and resources to make better animations it could be really good actually. The music is not really interesting... The ending made by mili is probably the best thing this anime has to offer. I hope season2 will get better on that too.
