The Image Theories are fictional theories written by CEO Randal of Domainia in field of sociology, human psychology and economy through various periods of his life.
The theories incorporate elements of Randal’s believes and views and seem to include elements of public theories known in real word from various philosophers and scholars across different eras and regions. Such as Nitsche, Freud, Aristotle, Socrates, Ibn Khaldoun and Machiavelli. Given that one of Shella World rules is no people known in our Universe exist in that world, Randal may have come up with these ideas by himself while being inspired by knowledge of social theories written in the history of Shella World.
Given that Randal started writing these theories during his career in sales inside Ground Maze, these theories are considered born inside Fashion Market. They adopt the soul of fashion which is directed toward the image of its people and how products are sold for their image rather than their real value. In addition, fashion provide self-esteem and social status to its customers and typically enhances confidence which matches the definition of Image and Elegance Powers.
Learning and Application:
The theories apply through human interaction and acts in all professional and social situations and apply to people, societies and entities. Wither in speeches and dialogues or through acts in career or to build a work system as the case in Image Framework.
Randal used the theories to build Domainia Modeling and Ads Agency before it expands to Hi-Sky level. When Domainia signed the Image Contract with Shella City they applied several major initiatives that fully transformed Shella City and rebuilt its system using the Image Framework, Image Investment Program, Image Value and promoted several inventions that promote the Theories including technologies, apps, pharma products, genetic advancement and others. Growing Shella City in all directions and made it a top of Earth economy.
While also applying overseas level giga projects such as Regional Image Strategy and Chain Bridge that helped Partner Cities to expand highly.
Image Theories are learned through Image Coaching, which is a career that flourished in Golden Age to teach Randal’s theories controlled by the Platinums. Advanced learning can help to master and perform Elegance Codes which are one of the powerful outcomes when practiced properly.
Randal never wrote a book about his Theories despite his expressions of willingness. His Justification is that he’s still experimenting in his Theories and haven’t fully mastered their whole knowledge. The other reason is the work load that occurs due to lack of full understanding within his followers which he aims to address within the Diamond Age.
Restrictions on Coaching:
- Public parts: Large part of the 3 first Image Theories (Image, Beauty and Elegance, Fashion and Luxury) are available for public coaching and can be taught by Image Coaches (a profession controlled by Platinums) and these 3 theories are known widely in Shella. Also, the basics of Seduction and Desires Theory can be taught by experienced Image Coaches to public clients such as learning to perform some of the basic Elegance Codes.
- Restricted Parts: Most advanced knowledge in the Image Theories are coached only to Platinum members who gain higher success in basics. Coaching delivered by Randal himself to Elite Platinum Members is advanced and focused. In addition, Randal personally coach most of the Bless Members in advanced parts of his theories. Also the Divas have access to parts restricted to them such as Diva Elegance through their Divinity Coaches
- Hidden Parts: Theories and Parts known only to Randal and may be taught to a few selected individuals.
General Concepts:
Unity: Refers to a person (one), society or an entity. Entity can be a business, city or a country.
Domain: Each theory consists of domains. The Domain groups smaller domains, values, traits, qualities and powers. Synergizing together inside that domain.
Duality: Domains that can synergize with another Domain can form a Duality. Duality is represented graphically by Domain diagrams. Similar to a Vinn diagram in a shape of infinity symbol ∞.
Synergy Line: The line between two domains in a duality is called Synergy Line it means that the domains are perfectly synergized together. Successful application of Image Theories lay on the successful synergy between domains inside a Unity.
Thesis: People who learn advance level of Image Theories, may present a thesis to Randal about a new concept or discovery within the Theories. If accepted by Randal, he would include them in the Theories and may pass a green light to apply the in certain applications. Thesis is typically presented by advanced Bless Members and Elite Platinums but the floor is also open for Divas (as evident by Model Sophie’s Thesis)
Ultimate: Also known as the Ulti- or Super. A description concept in the Theories to imply the highest perfection level. As per Randal the Ultimate forms don’t exist in reality but they act as a benchmark to compare success and advancement.
Spoiler Alert: Below contents may contain spoilers to the novel, Shella City: Platinum King. It’s advisable to read the rest of the article after finishing the book.

- Image Main Theory
Often referred to as the Image Theory, the Master Theory and most contexts in the novel “Image Theories” Since Image is the largest domain that groups all other domains in Image Theories. The rest of theories emerge from this one.
Image Theory: The image in theory by Randal states that an image for a Unity (One, society or an entity) is the collective of what is sensed (seen, heard or other senses) and what is known (acts, achievements etc.) about the unity.
A human existence within a spacetime is not directly observed to others, what is observed is their image, image is reflected in other’s brains by the senses and knowledge that is gained through a period of time. Image is defined by values, different people and societies with different values will see different images for the same unity.
Each image includes several qualities that include Beauty (inner and outer), Elegance (sensible and active), power, wealth, legacy, achievements, social identities and other qualities.
the ultimate and final outcome to a Unity’s pursuit and decisions through their lives and history is their image. Values are defined through the experience of humanity as a whole and as individuals
Image Power: The higher the favoritism of each image quality, the more powerful is the image. The image power is the most rewarded return of a high and excellent effort that may take years from a person or a group. A powerful image can create miracles such as the case world leaders and builders. The largest civilizations in history had an identity just like any other but they were powerful and reigning due to power of their image.
For an individual , Elegance power only works at their presence, image power works in their absence and may remain for years or centuries after their death.
- Qualities, Values and Powers.
Values:
Values are the principles, ideals, and beliefs that guide human behavior and shape individual and collective decision-making.
In Image Theories, values are represented by “Values Pyramid” which include fundamental values, growth values and ascension values.
- Fundamental values: values that are widely accepted around basic human needs, such as Physiological needs, Safety and Security.
- Growth values: include social relationships, esteem needs, economy growth and other
- Ascension values: the values around Self-actualization, success and leadership.
Values Pyramid shares similarities with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, with difference is that values are a more general terms since the value of something is what makes it needed.
Example: Need for nutrition is a Universal and Fundamental value. Learning to create a constant source of feeding is a growth value. While a caviar in a fine dining restaurant is an ascension value.
Humanity shape values based on their knowledge, experience and cultural background, when an act is serving these values, it is considered ethical or favorable and vice versa. The ethics are the borderline that protect common value.
Relationship with Image: humans may conflict each other when it comes to values, specially when moving upward within the pyramid. Image is what defines the path that values should follow, a Unity (one, society or entity) is defined by a collective image, and when a group of people agree on a certain image that unite them, values will re-shape accordingly.
For example: the image of a healthy human serve to define the values around health and determine what can be harmful to public health.
Differences in humanity experiences: societies around the world differ in moral frameworks, this is due to difference in images prospective. For example, the ethical values in a society are build around their own perspective for what the image of a perfect society should be. Wither if this image was drawn according to religious teaching, philosophical concepts or collective experience. Every value is driven by a certain desired image.
Upper Values: Refer to values that groups larger societies and entities into common core believes.
Super Value: The ultimate value that all Upper Values and Values within a Unity are driven toward. Super Values can’t be modeled by any except Super Beauties. Both concepts don’t exist as per Randal’s teachings but they act as index or compass.
Platinum King: (hidden concept) A person who’s philosophies are followed across a unity. They set the values and often become Brands. Such as prophets and cult leaders.
Powers:
Powers can be physical, social, economical or others. Powers are the abilities to influence, achieve or protect certain values. Power is needed to perform a single or multiple acts, and acts are evaluated based on their impact on values. The higher the power, the more values are accessible which leads to a powerful image. The Image power, is a kind of power by itself, but it is a collective of all powers and achievements.
Randal Image theories are built around the powers of a human , a society or an entity to achieve success. while the first theory define “Image power” the other 7 theories also state other powers that contribute to the image. Namely Elegance power,
Qualities:
Qualities are the attributes associated with a Unity. Qualities can be Inherited or acquired
Qualities and values: Values typically favorite certain qualities or traits, for example humans with noticeable height are favored in certain sports but may not be valued in other situations.
Power and Wealth: Powers and Wealth are two domains who work within the image theory itself. The higher someone’s power the higher their wealth and vice versa. Both power and wealth are 2 qualities within an image. Power and wealth are also subject to values, as values determine the amount of power and wealth that are needed to reach certain social status.
Inherited Qualities : qualities that were given without effort are considered inherited, it can be considered as a privilege for certain unities. For example being born in a wealthy and educated society provide more inherited qualities for the person than others. Legacy for example is an inherited quality. Outer beauty, if not modified by surgeries or cosmetics are also inherited by genes.
Acquired Qualities: all qualities that can be gained by a Unity through powers such as effort, wealth or influence. Personal achievements are major example.
Qualities durability: as per Randal Image theory, both inherited and acquired qualities can be sustained and grown while also can be lost. You may inherit millions for a deceased relative but they can be lost if not used wisely. Some qualities can also be lost if values prospectives were changed, for example a Bachelor degree may no longer seen as a useful quality if the degree has lost its value in the labor market. A unity should seek continuous growth of their own values to maintain and enlarge their image.
Image Goals:
Image Goals are defined by a Unity which seeks to achieve. Improvements in Image qualities are lined toward Image Goals.
Identities:
Identities are typically attributed to visual traits and qualities within societies and entities. As per the Image Theory, individual and group Identity is an Image Quality that develop over time.
Holistic Societies: Refer to societies that can be seen as conservative, nationalist or communist. Where the group identity is the favored quality. The more holistic a society, a group identity is highly visual and the image is fully aligned with the identity.
Super Holistic Society: The ultimate form of holistic to have one identity for all its people acting as one single Image. This Ulti acts as a benchmark for certain societal values.
Atomistic Society: Societies where liberty and individual identities are the most common and preferred tend to be individual focus. These societies are grouped by common images that act free from a single identity. Liberal and capitalist societies are more Atomistic.
Super Atomistic Society: An Ulti form where a society has a single identity per person while its image composes of all single identities.
Note: Both Super Holistic and Super Atomistic in their imaginary form are free from internal evil and can’t be destroyed by an external evil due to the Image Unity. The Diamond Age Agenda in the novel aims for Super Atomistic.
Headen Concepts:
Brand: Brand in business term is known as an Image Quality. However, the hidden part that the Brand can form a domain that synergizes with the Image as a duality. Brand is the frame where Super Values are growing.
The growth of an image grows the brand and vice versa. Brand can be represented by a certain identity or by certain figures. Religions and social systems are one of the common ways to create a brand. For most societies, brands are represented in people, wither if these people are alive, deceased or with questionable existence in history.
In Model and Advé Theory, when the Brand of a society or entity is modeled by a person, they would be seen as ‘out of question’ and gain strong loyalty. People who can model the Brand can become the highest successful leaders and/or most brutal dictators.
Zeer: the Zeer as a concept refers to Freewill. Freewill is not a trait but rather a power that can emerge in different forms and by equal in strength and counter in direction to Image Powers. Freewill activates for short period inside people and may lead to dangerous impact like suicide, murder, crimes and means against a human nature or believes. Freewill may activates when a Unity loses everything and lead to a complete replacement or fall down to and existing Image.
Liberty:
Liberty is one of the most favored Upper Values in individuals. While within societies and entities, liberty is favored to certain extents governed by a lot of higher Upper Values.
Liberty can take several forms, 3 forms or models are used in the novel:
- Chaotic Liberty: when liberation is left fully uncontrolled and left for a society to live in isolation free from manners and values. (represented by Pono Society, a former society in Shella’s Growth Age)
- Dreamy Liberty: which envision a world of open freedom without harms associated, or what is commonly defined as “ Your freedom ends at the freedom of others”. (Represented by Zeer’s palace which appears in Zeer’s dreams and he remembers them later)
- Image Restrained Liberty: The type of liberty that is commonly known. Laws, regulations and social norms work to restrict liberty into a favored image. Randal’s aim is to create a universe of free liberty while able to advance without destruction through Diamond Age Agenda. Randal currently owns his specifically designed model of liberty inside Bless Events.
- Beauty and Elegance Theory
Background explanation:
Beauty and Elegance are two common terms in Shellan Language and Culture. Both terms emerged from their original English meaning and diverged inside Shella’s Fashion Market as they’ve been used to describe different types of beauty and elegance within people in order to create product variety and inspires for designs.
Beauty as a word has been associated with look description, while Elegance refers to presence. People of Shella start their speeches with “Dear Elegant Audience” to refer to the present wither physically or virtually. The term “Your Elegance” to address people, emerged from the respect of the present ones. During Golden Age both terms were grown following Domainia’s influence to cover various meanings to include the followings:
Beauty of a one: For each person, Beauty refers the external traits and inner traits. Such as gender, look, sound tone, abilities, knowledge, strengths and others.
Elegance of a one: Originally used to describe personalities. Newer terms include the elegance types per profession or setting. For example a person may have a sales elegance at work and a party’s elegance at night which includes etiquette, dress styles, persona and others.
Beauty of a society: Description of demographic, classifications, common traits and various traits that create a similarity.
Elegance of a society: Description of culture, internal politics, rules, social norms and everything of how this society runs it matters.
Beauty of an entity: Include type of entity, structure, boundaries, belonging people (citizens, residents, employees, students etc. and all visible traits for the entity
Theory Principles and Concepts:
The theory is centered around the Elegance Power which is a main Power within the Image Theory. Elegance Power is the power when present, it applies during the life of the Unity and shown in their interaction and influence.
Elegance Power of a person is a result of their social intelligence and use of their personal skills to improve their elegance.
Beauty: a domain that groups the traits that contribute to a being, examples are mind, thoughts, soul, facial and body features, health and wellbeing, it is what people see when they look at a human. Beauty traits have different values across different audience.
Elegance: Domain that refers to the presence of a person such as style and dress, smell, charisma, attitude, etiquette, interaction style, movement and communication. In the Theory elegance as the way to express your inner and outer beauty and use theme effectively. It is divided into sensible elegance and active elegance.
Inner beauty: Non-visible beauty treats such as intelligence, talents, knowledge, skills and health and others. They are typically expressed through sensible and proven elegance.
Outer Beauty: Visible beauty traits such as looks, body shape, strength, voice, smell and other traits that can be expressed through sensible and proven elegance.
Success is defined by how to improve Inner and Outer Beauty by knowing them effectively and to direct them toward Image Goals.
Sensible Elegance: Elegance traits that can be sensed about a person by one or more of the five senses such as looks, style, tone etc. sensible elegance can be sensed by looking at someone’s photo as well.
Active Elegance: Elegance traits that require to be proven by acts or words are considered Active Elegance. Such as speaking, writing, drawing, performing, serving and accomplishing. Active Elegance reveals the Inner Beauty traits through practicing and coaching.
Elegance Power: The higher the favoritism of Inner and Outer Beauty traits and the ability to convey these traits within the Sensible and Active Elegance, the higher the Elegance Power. A powerful Elegance can make real influence and provide success to its owners. Shaping Elegance Power require a combination of work on selected traits based on understanding the current and desired abilities.
Elegance Stages and Types
Natural Elegance: Elegance that developed with human during the first 16 years. It’s the elegance that’s typically shaped by the nature around the human. Traits that develop at this stage are more solid and if found and shaped properly during the mature life can be harvested to signify the overall Elegance Power.
Mature Elegance: Elegance at adulthood that is shaped by combination of factors more complex than in Natural Elegance. Such as career, choices, interaction with people, gained knowledge and skills etc. Mature Elegance can take several forms within one person, based on Elegance Flexibility.
Elegance Flexibility: The ability to adapt to different environments by activating various Elegance traits at different situations. A person who has two Elegance forms, for example professional and personal is less flexible than someone with various Elegance forms for every situation by shifting between various strong traits efficiently. An example of flexibility is Model Elegance, which requires models to be models whenever in public without looking “mimicked” but more original as if it’s their same persona acting all along on photo shoots and night parties.
Fixed Elegance: Typically occur in seniors after age of 50 but can be way before that. It refers to state of lack of ability or desire to change or improve existing Elegance traits.
Advanced Concepts:
Jungle Man: The Beauty and Elegance Theory include several types of people based on their traits. For example, Jungle Man is originated from a story of a human raised by apes and was lost in identity when meeting other humans. This concept is referring to people with identity crisis.
Super Beauty: an Ulti- form of Beauty where all traits are favored and conveyed through an Elegance.
- Fashion and Luxury
Every economy can be affected and shaped by social values on its foundation and its growth, economy influence back the social values and change it and a successful economy harvest the balance between the two and make it a power not an obstacle. Fashion and Luxury is a socio-economic theory that focus on the synergy between eco and society for a greater purpose.
Fashion: Means eco backbone, such as monetary system, economic market system, infrastructure, skilled workforce and other essential factors that an economy may fail without
Luxury: Means eco-growth, all the economic growth factors that the economy needs for higher wealth and wellbeing. Such as innovation, investment, human development, efficiency, quality management system etc.
Societal values play an important role in accelerating or slowing the foundation and growth of all economies. It may restrict businesses from entry to the Market and it can also boos sales of certain businesses due to shift in societal values. Market Synergy is the state where both eco and society reach a level of full alignment.
Note: While the general concepts of this theory seem familiar. Fashion and Luxury Theory can only be applied effectively inside Shella City due to its free market that is not controlled directly by political forces, no government control and societal values are on high level due to the wealth and liberty mindset within People of Shella.
Common Concepts:
Gold Club: Usually refer to as Golds, which refer to large group of people Including stock market bears, short-term investors and fast selling businesses. They’re categorized by their preference to quick gains and lack of patience on losses and taking investment risks.
Diamond Club: Referred in the novel as Diamonds. Include stock market bulls, long-term investors and conservative investors. They are the people who would rather wait for bigger results and tolerate a time of unrest.
Silver Club: Refer to customers who are more price elastic and tend to hesitate on purchases due to having bigger goals such as saving or investment. They are less favored by businesses but can be useful for the overall economy.
Cash Club: Refer to customers who’re less price elastic and easy to persuade. They prefer to spend in order to enjoy early leisure and unlikely to save. They’re favored by businesses but cause inflation.
Single Man: originated from a story of a person who was gifted with ability to convert anything he wishes to gold or diamond by each hand. He never stopped and couldn’t be stopped until he converted his entire planet and became a single man with no value for his wealth. This concept refers to types of people who can be Golds, Diamonds or in between but act as market makers or high influencers. They have tendency to create new money at all costs and never stop despite the warnings of a potential collapse. This mind set can’t be changed but need to be understood and resonated with in order to gain under control.
Market: Market is the system or environment where society and economy co-exist, it’s built through years, decades and centuries and a large market can’t be changed overnight. Market reaches an equilibrium state when the synergy increases between individuals, societies and business entities. Hence, the Ulti-form. A hidden fact that the Market can be modeled by a person which is the case of Randal.
- Model and Advé Theory
The fourth Theory written by Randal that helped to transfer all other Theories to be applied in reality. Domainia Agency was built mainly around this theory. This is an advanced theory, where only basics can be taught to Public and most of its contents are restricted by Platinum membership.
Theory states that one who seek to become a Model embodies values that matter to a society can become a powerful Advé who promote any idea within the values they resemble.
Model: in Shellan the word “Model” means both fashion model and role model. Modeling or embodying a value, quality, power, domain or a Theory require long practice by experiencing various Elegance traits. At certain moments, modeling of values may happen spontaneously and unknowingly.
Advé: The word in Shellan that covers all marketing and ads jobs, means in the Theory context to preach or advocate. Advé is a Unity that seeks to promote certain concepts within another Unity by Modeling the values that they seek to spread. A person with a powerful Elegance can become a Model and Advé of various topics.
Super Model: Ultimate state that refers to the ability to model all possible values within the Pyramid.
Advanced Modeling:
While modeling values, qualities or powers can be done by normal people who’ve been practiced well. Modeling domains or Theories require to become a fashion model first. Domainia Models are coached to Model five theories and become Divas when they reach a level of Modeling in the Sixth restricted Theory (Adam and Eve)
- Seduction and Desires Theory
Seduction and Desires Theory carry majority of the superstitious abilities within the learners of the Image Theories. It’s Theory that’s built on the science of brain and mind and how they process various thoughts, emotions and memories.
It’s the Theory that defines the skills of emotional intelligence to be used in various forms of influence. Domainia uses Seduction and Desires as an Ads metho and Randal commonly refers to the Ads Department as “Seduction Realm”.
Mind: Refers to the conscious mind that’s being actively used, Mind Domain forms a duality with the Inner Mind Domain.
Inner Mind: sketched as a circle inside the larger Mind circle, Inner Mind is where the subconscious thoughts, ideas and memories lay beneath and when retrieved to Mind, they will affect different decisions and thoughts.
Mind Gate: Referred to usually as the Gate, it’s a non-visible gate that acts as a buffer between Min and Inner Mind, the Gate can open and close and various spots to allow exchange between the two Domains.
Desires: Refer to inner desires that live in Inner Mind, which may not always be known to their owners but justify known desires and intuitional decisions.
Seduction: Seduction is the art of using speeches, verbal and non-verbal cues to reach to the Inner Mind and speak to the Inner Desires. Seduction forms a duality with Desires Domain as the main duality in the Theory.
Emotions: Emotions are the physical and mental states that responds to different life situations by acting on nerve system. Emotions can be triggered by thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses and moments of pleasure and displeasure. Any interaction with other Beauties can leave a direct impact on Emotions which trigger different Thoughts.
Thoughts: Thoughts are the what is processed in Mind during the thinking process, it can be triggered by various emotional stimulus situations or topics. Memories are brought from Inner Mind to Mind during thinking process to generate new Thoughts.
Memories: Memories consists of what is stored in brain from previous life moments. Thoughts feeds the memories with new updates and Memories can be brought back by an Emotional stimuli that trigger certain thoughts which in turn brings in different Memories.
Dualities: Emotions can synergize with Thoughts and Form a Duality. Also Thoughts can synergize to create another Duality with Memories. The stronger the Synergy in these Domains, the higher the level of Seduction abilities.
Elegance Codes
Elegance Code are ultimate magnified level of how powerful human communication can be, when someone speak, they don’t just speak words they also communicate emotions and thoughts, the way they are communicated change the whole objective of speech positively or negatively. People who live in societies with high commitment to success end up realizing that their experience and skill are not sufficient they need to shape the way they communicate and gain charisma, influence and outreach.
Elegance Codes are inspired by real life “Subliminal Messages” which in context of Ads Industry uses visual and sound means to communicate hidden messages to audience. Elegance Codes, however are combined by people with a level of Elegance Power that can manifest and regulate their emotions while interacting verbally and non-verbally.
Elegance Codes can be used to pass messages unknown to the audience but can reach their Inner Minds directly. Experience Coders can pass secret messages between each other using Codes.
Coders: A public terms that refers to all those who learned to use Elegance Codes, wither Bless Members, Platinums or those who received basic coaching from Platinum Image Coaches. Domainia Femme Models are given Divinity Coaches in order to master Diva Elegance and thus be able to perform Diva Codes, which are highly advanced type of Elegance Codes.
Master Gate: The Ulti-form of abilities within Seduction and Desires Theory, it refers to a Super type of Mind Gate that can skillfully control all ranges of emotions possible within humans and pass master them within the Mind and Inner Mind Duality forming a full complete Synergy. While it doesn’t exist similar to other Ulti forms, Randal is widely believed to own a Master Gate or the closes to having one considering his super advanced abilities with all types of codes and exceedance to all Divas by far.
Coding Strategy
The strategy is to keep the emotions and thoughts stored at the mind, then control the flow of emotions merged while communicating to form unique combinations of eye contacts, facial expressions, voice tone, hand gestures and body language in certain patterns. Each combination is an elegance code that goes with every word and letter. Each person should form their own fingerprint of combination for every situation, each code can be used to create a message inside the inner mind, the message that you wish to deliver precisely during interaction.
Seduction Skills and Types of Codes
Elegance Sensing: The act of sensing others work by sensing their emotions during interaction and then analyze these emotions to learn more about Thoughts and then Memories. Basic level work on visible emotions while Advanced levels can dive into hidden emotions as well.
Emotional Regulations: Ability to regulate emotions properly without over showing and using each emotion wither pleasant or not as a power by itself during interactions.
Emotional connection: A Diva level skill, emotional connections happen in slight form when Divas interact with public. This skill can be advanced for use in one-to-one and group emotional connection. In this state the emotional ranges of people connect and exchange, for example a pain for one causes an effect on the other. This skill has been grown later intensely during the novel.
Common Codes
Spontaneous Elegance (non-intentional codes)
Nature: Arises naturally in communication without intentional encoding.
Culture: In societies like Shellan with a cultural predisposition to elegance, people exhibit natural elegance particularly within their areas of expertise.
By observing these unintentional gestures, one can infer a lot about a person’s current emotions and state of mind.
Mutual Codes (familiarity codes)
Created easily among individuals who interact regularly and are attuned to each other’s non-verbal cues.
These codes are like unique accents that extend beyond words, involving a full spectrum of personalized expressions.
Typically done within Circles and small groups, these codes can be so unique that they are indecipherable to outsiders.
Direct Codes
Intentional codes meant to convey messages clearly and directly to an audience, often easily understood even by those not versed in Elegance Codes.
Common in speeches or presentations where the speaker wishes to emphasize certain points or emotions.
Message Codes
These are sophisticated, akin to subliminal messages, weaving short non-verbal statements into verbal communication. Require intensive coaching
Diva level Codes.
These codes are taught to Divinity Realm Models, and their mastering skills of them can help to reach Diva title. Elite Platinums and the Platinum Divinity coaches who work with Models and Divas can master basics of these codes but not fully.
Echo Codes
These codes resonate with the audience, causing them to feel certain emotions like sadness or joy, which can then propagate among the crowd.
codes resulting from Super Codes are particularly powerful and can have a lasting effect.
Multi-Codes
Simultaneously sending different messages to different people within the same audience by dividing them into social layers. This requires a high level of mastery to ensure each targeted individual receives the correct message.
Divas typically generate complex signals, through a combination of verbal language, body language, and other communicative cues that are received and interpreted differently by individuals based on their backgrounds, experiences, or current emotional state
Alter Codes
This is an advanced technique used to alter one of the five senses by deeply resonating with the inner mind of the target.
For example a word is spoken, but individuals perceive different words based on the coder’s intention and their inner thoughts conflict.
Unity Codes
Unity Codes are designed to bring a group of individuals together, fostering emotional connections within a particular social layer. These codes tap into shared experiences or emotions, creating a sense of community and empathy among those who receive the message. Within a performance, a Diva using Unity Codes would resonate deeply with a specific segment of the audience, making them feel understood and connected as part of a larger whole.
Multi-Unicode
Multi-Uni-codes are designed to resonate across multiple layers of society with a single, combined message that has the depth and complexity to speak to each social sector in different ways. When a Diva uses Multi-Unicodes within a speech, she is effectively engaging with various social groups, sending tailored messages that can be interpreted in layered contexts, ensuring that each group receives a message that feels personal and relevant to them.
Universal Code
Universal Codes are messages that have near-universal appeal and can resonate with the majority of humanity. These codes speak to fundamental human values, experiences and emotions, crossing cultural and societal boundaries. Divas like Evana and Ashley, who are most advanced in the use of Universal Codes, have the ability to reach a wide range of individuals. Evana’s skill in speech allows her to craft words that touch many hearts, while Ashley’s emphasis on code resonance gives her the ability to connect on a more intuitive or subconscious level. In situations where preventing political unrest is crucial, such as around Shella City, the use of a highly effective Universal Code by either of these Divas could be seen as critical by Domainia.
Super Codes
A potent combination of various code types, requiring an exceptional level of skill to perform and a deep understanding and exploration of Natural and Mature Elegance. Performed by higher level Divas as newer Divas need further and longer coaching to master them.
Non-desired Outcome
Inverse effect: When a code fails to deliver its desired effect and leaves no impact, it’s considered a failure. But the worst is when the effect became the opposite of what’s intended causing troubles and conflicts.
Hostile Codes:
Codes that are combined with the intention of harming the receiver by hitting their emotions and alter certain emotional strings to cause discomfort and internal pains. In other cases, codes can be used to alter audience’s opinion about the opponent causing them Image harm.
The use of hostile codes by Models and Divas is strictly prohibited and punishable. They’re allowed only inside Bless Events during challenges and tournaments where substances are used to prevent extended harm.
- Adam and Eve Theory
The Adam and Eve is a hidden Theory, where only basics of it is coached for limited number of Bless Members, Elite Platinums and from Divas only Model Sophie, while Model Vicky might know few details about it. This Theory focuses on advanced levels within Elegance Powers that explores the dynamic between humans as individuals or societies and how the lead or follow each other.
Background: In Shellan Language, Adam is a verb word of Precede and Eve is the act of following. The original story of Adam and Eve isn’t widely known to the People of Shella and these terms seem to be inherited.
In original story, Adam was created in Heaven for a time before Eve, when she was created, she was a follower of him the whole time with him being the wiser. That means Adam is the precedence in this case. Later Eve influenced Adam that they should eat from that tree, in this case Eve became the Adam and Adam himself became an Eve.
Adam: Person or people who precede others to certain states or desires making example for others to follow.
Eve: Person or people who tend to follow others who seem more superior or have a form of power, authority or wisdom.
Duality: A Synergy between Adam and Eve wither inside a person or between two people or two groups of people. Where within the line of Synergy, these people can shift and take turns between the Adam and Eve states, is needed for a successful and advanced Unity.
Delusional Adam: When a Unity gain a superiority over others that is gained by physical or authority power without proper persuade and influence. The Impact is gone when the Delusional Eve can flip the odd. For example, a CEO can be a typical Delusional Adam since a strike from workforce would cause a collapse for the entity and the CEO may turn to an Eve trying to please the workforce. Real Adam are the ones who gains followers based on true believes in their ideas.
Upper Hand and Upper Voice: the Upper Hand are people with formal authority or social status allowing them to impose their decisions on other. While Upper Voice refer to people with strong influential speeches that turn votes or decisions of others to their side. The higher a person can seek within both Upper Voice and Hand can lead to more successful outcome.
Super Adam: The Ulti from of superiority and precedence, considering that each Adam is eventually an Eve for another Adam in endless series where Super Adam can be the ultimate.
Upper Femme: A state where a female or group of females gain a superiority over society based on success of certain favored traits.
Note: This concept is written but not experimented by Randal who wasn’t sure of its successes. However, Randal mentioned that Upper Homme could exist but would never works in Shella City while Upper Femme may apply in certain situations which Model Sophie presented the possibility of its successes during the novel events.
Central Femme: Another unexperimented state when female/s can be fully independent from any gender restrains on any side of values. They can’t be eve based on gender.
Divinity: Ability of Femme Model to posses what considered as Divine traits by owning extremely powerful skills into sensing and using emotions to gain an Adam state over their audience. Adam and Eve Theory is the main base for establishment of Divinity Realm by Domainia Models. Randal separated Femme Models from rest of Domainia Models as part of his believe in Diva Elegance that was shaped in earlier years of Domainia.
- Savior and Path Theory
A hidden theory known only to Randal, that consists of two main Domains. Progressivity and Protectivity, which are known as two essential human values with their own duality.
This theory goes deeper inside human’s Inner Minds and justify how Beauty and Elegance traits, values and qualities can take different directions and forms between various individuals and societies.
Perfection, the idea that individuals, and by extension societies, harbor an internal vision of an ultimate being or state which they strive to emulate. This being or state encompasses the highest qualities and virtues that the individual or society values, such as beauty, elegance, and other image-related traits.
Concepts
Savior: Large domain that contain all values associated with protectivity, human needs for protection shift differently when in low-status within the Pyramid they would fear their own existence from wars, crisis etc. While those on top of Values Pyramid, seek protection to their own status and power from being lost or degraded. The higher growth a society can reach the more increasing the fear of loss and destruction.
Path: Large domain that contains all values of progressivity and advancement into higher states, values around the “right path” varies across people. However, the need for a path that works in progressivity no matter where the target is a common collective Upper Value.
Lust and Addiction: The values that revolve around growing pleasures, grow exponentially. The more sources of pleasure, amusement and sexual fulfillment, the need for higher level keeps ongoing. This require seeking a path that fulfills endlessly.
Success acquisition: Wining, achievement and awards are examples of goals that every Unity seeks. However, the competition needed to reach and maintain qualities require higher and growing power wither to fight competitors or to stand different.
Fears: Fears are the mindset of losing existing qualities or powers. Which urges to the need for a Savior in cases of potential or real fall.
Fear of Sins: One of the unique fears is the Fear of Sin, the fear before and after conducting an act that is legally, morally, religiously or socially unaccepted grow when there is a desire to conduct these acts. The need for a Savior to allow or justify conducting these acts without Fear of Sin is more favored than avoiding the acts for certain Unities.
Good and Evil: the duality between moral righteousness and malevolent intentions can move in two synergic domains when the Values Pyramid is still working effectively within a society. Due to differences in impact on values and act might be considered within the Good or the Evil Domain. The existence of a “Savior and Path” force or figure build a sense of contentment in a society that someone wise enough (Or act as a messenger for the wise) to distinguish the acts, evaluate them against the values and provide justice against evil. In a utopian setting, the Platinum King has the wisdom and trusted on their objectives to serve the progressivity by the Good and protectivity of the Evil.
Savior and Path: With the common and various values regarding Protectivity and Progressivity. Each human has an Image inside their Inner Mind that their superconscious lead to and act as their Ultimate of Qualities and Super Values
This concept is similar to Übermensch by Friedrich Nietzsche and superego by Sigmund Freud. It’s an ideal concept that drives minds to think into its directions. Savior and Path can be represented in form of deities, powers or as a Messiah that will arrive in future.
- In the Novel: The Duality of Savior and Path Domain were Modeled by Randal toward those whom linked their Image Goals to him from various societies in Shella City and Overseas World. Inside Bless Events, Randal is called by these two titles inside the only place where these two titles are used, where the drug use create different experiences for the guests. Randal has been expanding his level of Savior and Path range among Beauties and aims to expand it by Modeling the Eighth Theory.
- The Eighth Theory
This theory is hidden strictly by Randal as he hasn’t finalized it yet during novel events and has been under experiment during the Golden Age while the Diamond Age Agenda were to help him Model it. Randal hasn’t yet decided a name for this Theory, the draft name is “Blue and Violet”.
In Shellan Culture and in fashion design, Blue means “Back to Origin”, while Violet means “Bright Future” and both colors are used in various contexts in Shella typically instead of Green and Red for performances charts and stocks indicators.
However, the Theory is about the Duality between Constructive Powers and Destructive Powers.
The nature has a duality between constructive and destructive forces and both form a balance between them to keep the universe running, these forces are represented in people’s desires, decisions and acts and even control their will, the ethical and critical views are meaningless as the nature supersede them all.
Understanding these powers require deep dive into human nature linking it to the nature within living organisms, the nature of Earth and its impact on humans and the impact of the whole Universe on Earth and its inhabitants. For example, an earthquake can be seen as a destructive force but it’s a constructive force when it impacts the geography. The act of one human can be seen as destructive from one side and constructive in the other.
Modeling the Eighth Theory: In Savior and Path Theory, the one who Model the Savior and Path can be seen as a protection from destructive forces and a progressivity toward the constructive forces. While the one who can Model the eighth theory can own both powers themselves and reach a higher level for People of Earth and can be able to create peace and end evil between human themselves helping them to advance and ascend together.
- In the novel: The novel is hinted slightly in various occasions but never revealed in details. The Brand chapter reveals the existence of an eighth theory that has been justifying Randal’s motives and tactics throughout the war and also the behavior of Soshayl App. It’s revealed that the Model of this theory will own an Earth Level Upper Voice but without name or context.
- This Theory is left to be a base for the potential sequel “Shella City: Earth Model” with Model Dareen being able to master and model constructive, destructive and preserve powers.
