Information framed in relevance to the unique individual and its affect on them allows it to take form as a finite being. Its lifecycle, it's birth, existence, and release, comes together to form its membrane; this we call, a Membrane of Existence. To protect the lifecycle of a knowledge or experience, we must reflect on their mortality and apply practices common in finite beings.

- Nurture
- Watch Grow
As art knowledge passes through Living Skin, we are here to feed and nurture every node, and have the honor to watch it grow.
Cataloging
Cataloging is one of the best ways to records collections of information and events. Every single Living Skin entry represents an event, or group of people that passes through Living Skin. Each entry is created on card and is physically stored in our high-tech, state-of-the-art archival drawer. Make sure to look for the specific O-symbol stamp in the top right corner of each card to better understand the placement of each entry. We are currently building out our catalog of not only books, media, and art, but also experiences, events, and connections that pass through The Living Skin. Entries not physically tangible will be filed with a corresponding response sheet, detailed below.
Review Questions
To protect the lifecycle of an event, knowledge, or connection, we must understand how each feed into culture and emissions of the spirit. Eventually, The Living Skin will close in on itself, completing within itself a life of its own. By defining and making space to reflect on an entity's mortality, we step closer to appreciating their life.
