Before

The Before (german: Vorher) describes the epoch before our present. There are different definitions that differ in time limits, some see the start of the Covid-19-pandemic and the first lockdown in March 2020 as the decisive turning point. Others advocate evaluating a gradual transition from the changes achieved by the Operation ∇ since 2023 from before to today as a threshold process. It is agreed that with the Great Fire of 2026 and the ∇-Social Contract coming into force, the before as a state no longer exists.
The main differences from before to today are:
*Presence of a public sphere
*Possibility of reproduction of the human species
*no (or no apparent) restriction on people's physical mobility
*Opportunity for physical interaction between two (non-dependent) people
The before is presented in an episode of the ∇-Podcast:
