Jonathan Dexter Ellis is an enigmatic figure in the world of philosophy and science, whose brilliance and contributions to the field of Postsynaptic Philosophy have left a lasting impact on the world of phyical science, philosophy and popular culture. Terms such as Prio, Reg and Unreg are derived from his works and he is a primary source for academia in the post nuclear world. However, despite his remarkable accomplishments, his life and identity remain shrouded in mystery and uncertainty.

Born into a world ravaged by the nuclear war of 1962, Ellis grew up in a society struggling to rebuild and redefine itself in the aftermath of the catastrophic event. Despite the challenges he faced, he displayed an early aptitude for academics, eventually earning multiple doctorates in the fields of physics, philosophy, medicine, and applied mathematics from prestigious institutions such as Stellenbosh, Kylemore, and Geneva.

Throughout his academic career, Ellis became increasingly interested in the field of Postsynaptic Philosophy, a discipline that explored the implications of the nuclear war and its aftermath on the human psyche and social structures. It was during this period that he came into contact with W.M. Fystner, a widely known scholar and eccentric, who extrapolated the philosophy of Old World thinkers such as Heidegger and Camus, with a wry emphasis on enframement, post war.

Ellis' subsequent writings, including the cryptic tomes "The Rhythm of Time" and "Self-Existent Things," became highly regarded in both scientific circles and mainstream discourse. The new herald of Postsynaptic Philosophy, with many considering him to be one of the most brilliant minds of his time became a household name. He was often seen wearing a distinctive pair of purple goggles while working in his lab, which became something of a trademark for him.

Despite his notable achievements, Ellis remained a largely reclusive figure, with few details known about his personal life. There have been rumours of a wife, a mistress, and a lovechild named Amanda, but the truth of these claims remains uncertain. Most believe that Ellis lived as a favoured prisoner under the oppressive regime of the Aultveldt Academy, but little evidence exists, only adding to the mystery surrounding his life.

Like the legendary bard William Shakespeare, whose own personal life remains a subject of much speculation, the true nature of Jonathan Dexter Ellis' existence is a matter of debate among scholars and theorists. Some suggest that he was a figment of collective imagination, a product of the post-nuclear war society's need for a hero to guide them out of the darkness. Others maintain that he was a real person whose contributions to philosophy and science were so significant that they have transcended his own individual identity.

Regardless of the truth behind his life and existence, there is no denying that Jonathan Dexter Ellis left an indelible mark on the world of Postsynaptic Philosophy, a discipline that continues to explore and grapple with the aftermath of the nuclear war and its impact on human consciousness and society. His legacy lives on in his writings, which remain as cryptic and profound today as they were when they were first penned.
