 The Distributed Process
@@ Line 29: / Line 29: @@
 Distributed Process fashion is a continually freewheeling and changing state of being. Often threads tends towards to similar styles of clothes, or similar colours, however within this there is still a full range of expression. Those from other cultures might be forgiven for thinking they have entered a music recording upon viewing an entire thread gathering to celebrate the Codingday of their Second Iteration leader: sometimes an entire range of historical clothing, but all in neon orange; other times the same outfit over and over again, in gently graduating shades of fuchsia.
-Some threads entirely eschew clothing and fashion as a human frippery, and a symbol of clinging to an origin which they have since outgrown. These threads simply walk around ‘as is’, not bothering to cover the panelling, processors and hydraulic joints that make up their frame. These threads are also the ones that eschew any form of gender, and so present with a very smooth, flat torso.

-The militias of the Distributed Process seem as disorganised, spread out and varied as the people themselves. However those of the Distributed Process have long since learned to work together effectively when needed. Martial prowess is often viewed by the majority of Distributed Process as a pleasant hobby. It is an interesting exercise to learn to do damage to organic and non-organic beings, but it is often a phase that individuals go through, before looking at more esoteric forms of learning. Some Distributed Process members take it more seriously, developing engrams dealing with strategy and tactics, they tend to lead those who have been studying the martial arts when needed. In times of very dire need all members of the Distributed Process can of course dump the majority of their engrams, uploading marital ones instead, and re initialising their old engrams after the conflict is finished.
