While not explicitly stated, the popular Disney film Inside Out 2 offers a fascinating visual metaphor for the construction and evolution of belief systems that aligns with stringism and our view on a living being.
The film introduces a concept where new memories, materialized as marbles ororbs, are deposited into a vast, ethereal lake. Upon contact with the water, each memory generates a luminous thread or string, its auditory properties reflecting the emotional core of the experience. These strings collectively ascend to form a complex, interconnected network: the belief system. When one touches this string it reflects the core memory and belief that comes out of this memory
This visual allegory is particularly compelling in its depiction of the belief system as a dynamic, ever-changing entity. The intricate knot of luminescent threads not only symbolizes the multifaceted nature of our beliefs but also underscores their constant evolution in response to new experiences. It’s as if the film invites us to contemplate the self as a living, growing organism, shaped and reshaped by the tapestry of our memories. This is completly in line with our view within stringism where memories create knots where those knots define who we are. The combination of knots then create our personality and persona. It’s remarkable how the visualisation in the movie connects to our view on things. It also show how a change in experiences can calibrate the feelings and belief that one has.
