Data/Digimon Physiology (Digimon)

==INTRODUCTION==
Within what Digimon is in this community, an important point is the nature of the Digimon, more specifically the natural abilities that some character simply has because it’s a Digimon and the level of power necessary for an ability to reach a Digimon.
Our Data Manipulation page gives you a basic idea of power, which logically should be a basis for Digimon. However, because of the difference in the nature of the Data in this franchise with others that may seem similar, there may be a misinterpretation of this concept in Digimon (And in fact this occur because many works represent the Data in a similar way to general knowledge).
As previously explained although many works within Digimon don’t delve into the mystical mythology, some of them present a more philosophical explanation for what the Digimon and the Digital World are. This interpretation began with Digimon Adventure and served to deepen the nature of the world already presented in games and manga, currently these concepts are used more directly in the games produced by Kazumasa Habu.
The purpose of this blog is to present a more direct explanation of the mystical interpretation of the franchise and establish the nature of the Digimon using not only the scientific explanation, but also including the mythical explanation of them.
==THE BASIS OF THE STRUCTURE==
Within the Digimon franchise the concept of Neoplatonic emanationism is used to establish the relation between the worlds.
The adopted concept of Platonism is that there is a higher reality, a true abstract existence that is responsible for all that is individual to exist. The concept of emantionism is that there are in fact innumerable layers of reality, one more abstract than the other, but in the end with all arising from a single higher and absolute layer.
Thus we follow a basis of a hierarchy of transcendence where the metaphysical of a world is the physical of a higher world, which has a metaphysical that is the physical of an even higher world. Something like what is in the image at the right.
==DATA==
Before discussing about the Digimon, let's discuss about the nature of what makes up the Digimon and the world in which they live, data. Physically the Data is what is equivalent to the atoms and molecules of the human world, sets of 0s and 1s where all the matter and energy of the Digital World is expressed.

Everything that exists in the Digital World is formed of data, it is said that this is a world where the totality of existence is reduced in data. For example, time in the Digital World manifests itself in the formation of Memorial Stela, monuments where the story itself is written and at the same time all future are being written. What is perceived as Time in the Digital World is actually the processing of historical data for past, present, and future creation, and the speed at which it occurs is what is felt as the flow of time.

What exists in our physical world as abstract, as minds and souls, are also totally converted into data in the Digital World. Which means that when a human goes to the Digital World it becomes entirely digital. In the same way it is possible for the mind to leave the human body, it will become data that are interacted in a normal way with other beings that have the same digital composition. The same may occur for something that is just a soul, it will form a body of data that is treated as something physical in the nature of the Digital World. However, the fewer components a body has in the Digital World (as there is a soul, but not a material body), it can be seen as incomplete and behaving differently in someway. This can occur because someone had their mind or soul ripped out of the body for some reason, or even because they died and ended up having their soul sent to the Digital World.

The way this equalization occurs will be explained in the future. However, the relationship between the world hierarchy and emanationism is clear. In Digimon humans have a composition greater than just the material body, there are souls and minds in humans. For humans the "mind / soul" is something metaphysical of which the material body is not able to interact with. However, the Digimon exist as beings that to us are metaphysical since they are like souls to us. In an emanationist cosmology the metaphysical one of a world may be the physical of a superior as I have explained previously. Digimon works like this, the physical or metaphysical in our world ends up being something unique in this higher world of the Digimon and the equality in this franchise is made through specific mechanisms that will be explained later.
==PHYSIOLOGY DIGIMON==
===WIREFRAME===
This is the outer region of a Digimon, and the one we have the closest contact with. A wire-frame model is a visual presentation of a 3-dimensional (3D) or physical object used in 3D computer graphics. It is created by specifying each edge of the physical object where two mathematically continuous smooth surfaces meet, or by connecting an object's constituent vertices using straight lines or curves.
L6LLjoa.png

uF5xtV6.png
What we perceive as a Digimon is merely the Wireframe which receives a texture, a set of 0s and 1s is written through the wireframe that receives an appearance through human eyes. That is, what we see as cyborgs, monsters, animals or whatever, is just an interpretation of the Wireframe's texture. There are the Digimon that are able to control the texture of their Wireframes, Digimon as Chamelemon is able to scan the texture around them and thereby rewrite their own texture to adapt to the location. Other Digimon like Renamon or Commandramon can also change their own textures.

7bJKx1z.png|Chamelemon's skin has a unique structure, and it has the ability to assimilate by scanning the surrounding environment and re-covering the texture of its skin.
Zs9TZyW.png|It covers up the texture of its golden-colored body with its shapeshifting technique of infinite possibilities!
BpRSHJT.png|The surface of Commandramon's skin has been modified with a special texture that detects its surrounding colors in real-time, and is capable of displaying a variety of camouflage patterns. As a result, it is said that most of Commandramon's 'targets' do not even notice Commandramon's presence before being silenced.
Because of this, the Digimon's body is very different from other beings. As the skeleton is actually a wire-frame and the skin is just texture the bodies of the Digimon do not have any kind of conventional inner organ being completely hollow. This is the reason Digimon with "holes" in their textures usually does not present something in this hole, since in fact there is nothing inside the Digimon. Thus, things like a Digimon's skin wounds or something similar are also just part of a texture being not necessarily a bad thing for a Digimon, they may want to keep the wounds because they may look cool, but they can simply change the texture so the wounds will disappear.

Wizardmon Render New.png|In the Wizarmon model, there is an open zipper on the leg, it shows the empty inside of the Digimon being a demonstration of the Digimon being empty inside.
But if the body of a Digimon as we know it is "false," that is, it is only an interpretation of a Wireframe of a hollow space, what is the use of this skeleton? The truth is that the body of a Digimon is not completely hollow, normally located in the center of a Digimon, lies the true essence of the Digimon, its Digicore, which is protected by the Wire Frame.
===DIGICORE===
The Digicore is the heart of a Digimon, it is from it where it is written all the configuration that determines what a Digimon is. The texture and wireframe of a Digimon is in fact a program of 0s and 1s that is created by the Digimon. And depending on the data that exists in Digicore, the texture as we see will operate in a different way. If a Digimon has higher concentration of data from a family, it will look more like a specimen of that family. The wireframe is actually a protective layer, it serves to prevent easy access to the Digicore that could be manipulated or even destroyed. For example, Digimon with 100% Dragon Data has a purebred Dragons appearance. That's why some Digimon have attacks based on destroying the Wireframe so they can manipulate Digicore with greater ease.

WmSM0sT.jpg|The Digicore (Electronic Nucleus / 電 脳 核), which controls everything of the Digimon as an organism, is a data program (Collection of symbols and numbers of 0s and 1s). What you see as monsters, cyborgs, etc in human eyes is all from information from the digital core.
Eu3iOf8.jpg|Another name for "Electronic Nucleus" (「電脳核」). Corresponds to the brain and heart of a Digimon, to protect life and prevent abnormalities in the Digicore it is covered by skeleton, skin, etc. However, it is possible to take use of this vast amount of information and make it into a weapon, sometimes it is put out of the body.. In principle it is one for one Digimon, but there are exceptions.
pDB2M7j.png|Digimon that bear the name "Dramon" must contain Dragon-factor data in their Digicore; the higher the percentage of that data, the more the shape of their body becomes a Dragon-type, but Coredramon's Dragon-factor data has reached 100%, so it is definitely a pure-blooded Dragon Digimon.

The Digicore assumes a role similar to that of a heart, for example the blood equivalent to the Digimon is in fact the codes in the Digicore, without this data the Digimon has no life, it is dead. The same goes for souls, being this existence a result of the configuration of a program that resides within the Digicore, thus the souls contain fragments of the information of a Digicore.

The program described in Digicore is responsible for the way the Digimon act, the absence of a command in the Digicore may be responsible for the lack of a certain concept in the thought of a Digimon. The program of a Digimon can also be modified, so it is possible to change the patterns of its behavior.

==EVOLUTION==
===ABSORPTION===
To grow the Digimon has an interesting ability of absorption and adaptation. They are able to read and learn through external data and can absorb data to become more powerful. This is equivalent to the EXP gain in RPG's, in fact by defeating an opponent the Digimon absorb the data of the defeated in the division that is known as "Species EXP", is gathering that data that a Digimon usually evolve to the next level. The Digimon exist wildly based on this, they are naturally able to be drawn to each other to be able to find an opponent to be defeated, absorbed and then be used as a basis for the victor to evolve.

===OVERWRITE===
As explained earlier, everything in a Digimon is determined by their program, even their emotions. There are specific codes to determine the state of a Digimon, when those codes are changed this is a result of the process known as overwriting. The consequences are varied, in addition to a possible physical or psychological change, there is also a variation of power and even gain new skills. The consequence of this ability is that if the overwriting is too violent, it is possible that the data of a Digimon will end up corrupting more easily causing serious damage to a Digimon and can decrease the life of it. In particular, Ancient Species has the most violent over-writing that left them almost extinct. Sometimes overwriting can be very specific. For example, when several Digimon were threatened by the X-Program of Yggdrasil, some Digimon were able to rewrite the program of their Digicores to develop the X-Antibody, thus surviving the effects of the X-Program.

===EVOLUTION===
*Childhood I (幼年期 I): A digital form that has just been born. The data that make up the body are still not stable and its strength is low. This period is short and evolves into Baby II in a few hours.
*Childhood Ⅱ (幼年期 Ⅱ): Little time has passed since birth, and it has evolved. The data that make up the body are stable, but still can't fight. It has great evolutionary potential.
*Growth Period (成長期): A form where intelligence and strength began to develop. The instinct to "fight" began to wake up in the digimon. This is still in the midst of growth and its appearance changes drastically while nourishing.
*Maturity Period (成熟期): Has a mature body and developed intelligence. Basically this is complete as a Digimon and many Digimon stop evolving at this level.
*Perfect Body (完全 体): A form that a Digimon with power beyond understanding can achieve even after reaching maturity. It has overwhelming power and a fierce nature, it is usually a leader of communities.
*Ultimate Body (究 極 体): It is thought that it broke its own limits and evolved into a new form. The magnitude of the amount of data that compose it increases by orders of magnitude. Unlike the Perfects, it behaves in isolation and is rarely seen as forming communities.
*Digimon beyond the Ultimate Body (究極体を超えたデジモン): Ultimate is the highest level considering levels, but there are rarely "individuals with power beyond Ultimates." In this case there is a form called "Super Ultimates".
The evolution itself is an event unknown to the Digimon, many do not know how it works, as well as the mechanisms that cause it. t has been described that during evolution, data is added into the body of the Digimon, this data is then organized in a different way from the previous configuration to give shape to the new form of the Digimon. The way a Digimon evolves seems to be related to some genes, codes, which are dormant in the current Digimon configuration. Apparently, evolution can be coordinated by the system known as Evolutionary Tree. In this system are located the "Evolution Plates" that determine the data of a Digimon, for example, the "Devimon Plate" determines the parameters expected for a Digimon to evolve to Devimon, if the plate is in the right place and a Digimon has met the requirements for this evolution, it will be able to evolve into Devimon. It is explained that this system is a part of the "Ancient Tree", Yggdrasil. This being not only the origin of all the Digimon, but also that which governs all evolution.

Although the Evolutionary Tree has a great amount of variations of evolutions, still exist rules, and some Digimon already has an established evolutionary standard. Sometimes it is possible that a Digimon evolves in an unforeseen way for several reasons. In particular, I used to say that the manifestation of the Dark Area in the Digital World is capable of distorting the evolutionary patterns, being the cause of unexpected evolutions. Some specific programs are able to break the evolutionary requirements and laws of evolution, allowing for specific evolutions that should not occur, though this can be dangerous. The BH Program is an example of this being able to make any Digimon into a Mugendramon. In the future it was possible to improve the program by destroying the mind of a Digimon, through other modifications it would be possible to evolve to other Digimon besides Mugendramon.

==LIFE CYCLE==
Paradoxically for the Digimon to be marketed as something similar to tamagotchis, in the lore of Digimon there is information that in fact, the Digimon are immortal. According to Yamaki, the Digimon can live for an infinite period of time, being essentially immortal. For the Digimon the human concept of aging is non-existent, and for some it is even confusing to imagine because a life span is something strange. However, programs like YMIR were developed, or at least tried to develop, in multiple servers what would simulate in the Digimon a lifespan similar to the humans, although some of these projects, like YMIR itself, were not successful.

If normally the Digimon should not die of old age, the best way to kill one is in combat. In fact the Digimon fight with each other to absorb the data of the loser. But, when a Digimon dies it is able to compress its Digicore to the minimum, protecting its essential data and covering it with a wireframe that takes the form of an egg, thus a Digitama is born that will start the next generation of that Digimon. The exact mechanism of how this works sometimes varies depending on the story being told. Normally the Digitamas are transferred to a place known as "Village of Beginnings", while other works do not establish where they go, or simply place them in the same place where a Digimon was defeated. Sometimes the rules also vary, since in Digimon Adventure TRI the Digimon were not reborn, whereas in other works this was not a problem. Digimon Next states that the laws of reincarnation can be changed by the Host Computer, which influences whether a Digimon can reincarnate or not.

Digimon and Sex.png|Sex (性別): Digimon does not exist with sex and when the life expectancy comes to an end, it converts its Digicore into a Digitama compressing its data and leaving them to the next generation. Some Digimon have also confirmed that they define the genre as label information.

Some Digimon however has special powers related to this process. Anubimon is said to be the one who inspects the data of a Digimon when it is deleted and sent to the Dark Area being that depending on the judgment of Anubimon, it can be consigned to remain in the Dark Area or sent to the Digital World to reincarnate. Valkyrimon produces a special aura around himself, and the heroes who are caught in this aura end up regenerating directly to Digitama after being killed. However, even in such cases there are still exceptions. Digimon as the Seven Great Demon Lords are able to nullify the regeneration of the Digimon preventing them from reincarnating, instead of reincarnating they become part of the flesh and blood of the Seven Great Demon Lords.

==STANDARD PROFILE==
I will now summarize what the Digimon can do on our list of "Powers and Abilities" and explain why. :
::Powers and Abilities
*Non-Corporeal: All Digimon are actually "souls" that exist on a higher plane of reality following an emanationism cosmology. Interactions with the Digimon that occur in the franchise are so because of specific events that either create manifestation bodies for the Digimon or turn humans into digital entities.
*Non-Physical Interaction: Digimon are able to touch each other, as well as their Digicores [which are the very essence of the Digimon]. They are also able to touch the souls and minds of humans and animals like Koichi, Mirei, Takumi and Pete.
*Absorption: Digimon are able to absorb data from the surrounding environment and from other beings, allowing them to assimilate this data to itself.
*Power Mimicry: By absorbing opponents' data, the Digimon assimilates their powers for themselves. Digimon are able to learn the attacks of opponents just by observing them, although this is limited by the intelligence of the Digimon.
*Hacking and Information Manipulation: Digimon are the best hacking tools around the world, replacing almost entirely by any conventional hacking program prior to their discoveries and yet the best way to combat the Digimon is DIgimon itself.
**Reality Warping: In fact, in Digimon hacking is the correspondent of Reality Warping in the digital worlds, and they are able to manipulate reality itself when necessary.
*Regeneration: The Wireframe of a Digimon, corresponding to its armor/skin, is covered with a texture that is the first form of defense of a Digimon. Digimon are able to quickly regenerate their Wireframes after they are damaged, at least under normal conditions. Digimon are also able to completely regenerate their wireframes even after they are destroyed, forming the Digitamas (Not applicable in combat).
*Reactive Evolution: Digimon are able to rewrite their own data structures being able to adapt to different situations
*Resistances:
**Mind and Soul Manipulation: Digimon has its Digimon Minds/Souls, protected by the Wireframe, needing to cross the wireframe before reaching the minds/souls of a Digimon.
**Hacking/Power Nullification: Digimon are resistant to the bugging of the Eaters, which usually corrupt data leaving them useless.
