Fuyutsuki. The guy is a genius. Don't know what he'd be doing though... probably intensive research at a renowned university or something.

Now for the theory. I apologize in advance because it is somewhat difficult to explain why the seemingly inconsistent parts are really actually consistent, and yes, I'm aware of what I mean when I say that. Just bear with me. Key points to the theory: 1: Souls "constantly" produce an A...

Ok, now souls 6. All living things possess a soul. No exception. Support: during the second impact, [ep21: "FUYUTSUKI:...The thorough extermination of all life, including microorganisms..."]. This is at least circumstantial evidence leading to the fact. I forget if there was a better piece...

One wall of text coming right up. >.< ... strange... okay, this apparently is going to have to take multiple posts otherwise the post won't submit, sorry about the repeated posting. Okay, I'll start off with things that should be able to be agreed upon. i.e. this is pretty much basic fact, ...

(...) Of course, there are people who don't believe in a soul the way Eva interprets it (or believe in it at all) yet can still relate with Eva; those people could probably view such a soul as a metaphorical manifestation of consciousness, or the like. (...) That would d...

That's not circular logic, that's deductive reasoning. Thank you, thank you very much. You're awesome. FYI, I've got a "new theory" in the making, it's been keeping me up. For now, let's just say that it's got libido worked into it, uses "dead stuff doesn&...

Why?

Ok, let me explain this one more time: we are like those scientists who don't work at Nerv. We do not know how AT field physics work, so therefor we cannot formulate a model that tells us how chemistry changes. We have to assume that it does not, because we don't see any changes. We can onl...

Yeah, you're definitely correct. I'm guessing it's like a psychoanalyst and their patient? That's why I added that Anno understanding it fully was questionable. But, I also said that he was the only one that could . No matter how much analysis you put into someone you can never compl...

I increasingly think it is impossible for someone to be able to FULLY, and I mean FULLY, understand the series who was not living in Japan in 1996. Even for people living then, at that time, I think it would be near impossible. After all, I think the only one who could FULLY understand eva would be...

But we don't know that they do, and until we see them affect chemistry, the default assumption is that they don't. Really, I'm starting to ask myself at this point how this point even effects the three theories. Let me say this again then, I know that they don't affect the chemistry...

We don't know what Nerv's theories are. I was talking about the merits of our own theories, and what we must do to refine them. ... Only if we see those effects. If we don't see them, they don't exist. Or so the logic follows. Thats why I keep saying chemistry is untouched, because ...

That, ladies and gents, was a concession on my most basic point. I'm so happy! *sniff* It would have been better if i had made this clearer earlier then, it would have saved excess confusion. Please take this as a sign that I am more reasonable than you may believe me to be. Sure. We obviously ...

Oh, I agree, Lilith needs to do the actual tanging. But the (A)ATF allows her to manifest to those entities and have them meet her halfway by manipulating their emotions. Gotcha. ;) virtually unlimited. :D Haha, missed that, but yeah, it really isn't too far of a stretch to just ass...

^ And what if it wasn't? :P As for me, I don't really know what I do, maybe just some useless stuff, maybe finding something new to do, like the "Healthily Extravagant Interest" mentioned above, and sometimes a good night's rest will work just as well, a restful sleep goes a lo...

Alright, let me try explaining some things again then. Lattices: no, humans are not crystals; the point i was getting at was that the stuff making up humans was "organized" by the ATF. if you want to use a more suitable word than lattice, be my guest, but this was how it was originally put...

It was in the disambiguation page for the word "lattice", and is the meaning used in the context of chemistry. Chemical lattices form crystals, not humans. I still don't see where my misunderstanding is. I was aware of that definition before, but thanks for the reference. I think that...

They loose who they are in the process. That person, that soul ceases to be as it becomes but a mere part of a larger whole. I still think that the soul would exist because although the barrier that separated them disappeared, what was contained within that barrier remains (even when it merges ...

No they really can't. Without that ATF they cease to be what they are and become something else. I'm not following here, what do they become then? I thought that those things in EoE traveling to the black moon were souls without ATFs because their ATFs were destroyed at that point, or am I ...

Sorry for the trouble I've caused, I'll try to be more patient/understanding this time. that the AT field requires an active soul attached to it for its continual existence. You got that backwards. not quite, in context it was exactly what i meant, i was talking about theory #1. sure, the wo...
