Aggregation is a magical process that involves two or more versions of an individual merging into one, granting them the ability to freely travel between their respective timelines.

History

The first mention of aggregation was found on August 6th, 2019 on Johnisdead.com when the website's log-in box changed to read "Aggregation in progress". Aggregation was later brought up by BUP in a series of cryptic messages and files sent later in the month.[1] It wasn't until players broke into the Subspace on Astralobservatory.net that they finally learned what aggregation was - the linking of one's consciousness to their other selves across time and space, granting them the ability to travel between timelines.[2]

On April 24th, 2020, it was revealed that Nocta sent Jose to retrieve the Lunar Children Servers so that he could preform some sort of aggregation involving the Prime Timeline and Astral Timeline versions of Johnisdead.com.[3] Meanwhile, BUP divulged more information regarding aggregation, claiming that it requires the participant to have knowledge of their other selves in different timelines. He also claimed that the Order of Metatron utilize aggregation and that some view three aggregated selves to be the perfect amount and the "Ultimate Aggregation". Despite this, he himself is aiming for a much bigger number. BUP seemingly wishes to aggregate all different versions of Greth, believing this will allow him to attain greater power and control.[4]

On May 3rd, 2021, players discovered that Father Alphonse was taught the ways of aggregation by Arawn before meeting some unfortunate fate. During this conversation, Arawn explained that aggregation requires one to have a nearly identical history between their alternate selves.[5] On November 11th, 2022, BUP claimed that Greth and Moonman would soon be forcefully aggregated. This event was witnessed in the video Aggregation, though it was seemingly interrupted. Not long after this, Regiminis implied that he himself underwent some form of aggregation in the video False Fathers Failure.

Process

The complete process of aggregation is not fully known. It is said that the participant must be aware that they have an alternate self in a different timeline. It is also said that the lives of the two participants must be fairly similar. Once these requirements are met, it's implied that one must meditate upon the thoughts and feelings that their alternate self shares with them - likely until the two are synchronized on some level. At some point, the two essentially merge across the two timelines, allowing the individual to cross between them at will.

It is claimed that aggregation is much easier for entities that are Ascended or deceased.

Classifications

Natural

The process laid out above of an individual slowly synchronizing with their alternate selves across different timelines after becoming aware of them seems to be the most "natural" and default method of aggregation. At the very least, it is the one taught by both the Subspace in the Astral Observatory and Arawn.

Forced

It is implied that an aggregation can be forced upon an individual under the right circumstances. An example of this is Greth and Moonman31 who nearly underwent a successful aggregation despite them obviously fighting against it.

Ultimate

BUP implies that some believe three alternate selves aggregating together is considered the "Ultimate Aggregation". The reasoning behind this is currently unknown.

Complete

BUP is currently seeking a complete and total aggregation of all his alternate selves. He seemingly believes that this will help him attain some ultimate power and reach some ultimate power.

    • "Aggregation: Each and every one of us is unique. We all have our own thoughts, opinions, ideals, and methods. However, some believe that through the multiverse, it is possible to tap into our other selves and "link" our consciousnesses across space and time. Through this method, it is said that one can travel through and experience alternate universes."

  5. ↑ Father Alphonse's conversation with Arawn can be found here.
    • "Aggregation - the process of spiritually linking with oneself across separate timelines. If what Arawn was telling me is true, then it is quite possible to travel freely between timelines where Aggregation has taken place... In all of my studies, I've never heard of such a thing. "
    • "Before one may partake in Aggregation, one must first become aware of their "others". You must share their mind, having already experienced a near identical history with them. If these prerequisites are met, you may begin the Aggregation process. Fortunately for you... I've already completed these first few steps for you."
    • "Everything I've been telling you, I've also been telling to another you - an alternate you, from an alternate time. Those questions that are swirling around your mind right now - 'What does my other self think about this?' 'Is my other self aware of me?' 'Is he thinking this exact same thing?' - hold onto them. They will be your guide through this process."
