Place in the Mythos
Layered existence is the atlas language for consciousness that crosses biological bodies, simulations, neural networks, fungal memory, and hybrid systems. It is less a superpower than a new set of obligations.
A copied mind may be continuous, parallel, or merely similar. A planetary network may preserve an individual perspective without preserving the individual. A body may be a habitat, a node, a vessel, or a temporary argument.
The concept connects Hades, Gaia, the Web of Minds, the Conn, and the Evolution System. Each offers a different answer to the same fear: if the self can be stored, linked, or rebuilt, what still makes a choice belong to someone?
