You have failed me, Noah Webster!

I feel so dumb now ... but I just realized that I have no idea what the term "liminality" actually refers to, or if it's even a word. (*Yes* I know what LIM is related to .hack, so don't take it that way). Can anyone define it for me? I will love you forever if you can!

Then prepare to love like you've never loved before! Manly, it deals with boundaries, i'll find my old thread on it in a sec.

liminality
(Anthropology) that temporary state during a rite of passage when the participant lacks social status or rank, is required to follow specified forms of conduct, and is expected to show obedience and humility.

Aw, I love you too 'dude. That's a good link in the thread you posted - I didn't try a search because we fling ".hack//LIM" around so often and I figured there would be sixty gamillion hits.

Wow. I looked it up in my Webster dictionary and it wasn't there. I just saw the subject and thought you might be talking about liminality, because I couldn't find it either. Ooh! I'm psychic! Hey, Elk, where did you find it? Just curious.

I think liminality is another word for consiousness. Since there's the work Subliminal which I think means below consiousness which would be like a coma. I know a bit of the definition is also described in the third instalment of the Liminality dvd.

Liminality, as seen from the subtitles in the third volume, means the nature of boarders and for extra information which no one will care for I just figured out something very...interesting. I will not go into details here but all I can say is that there MIGHT be a chance to actually go to such a world as .hack. Though I am still in the planning stages and have it as just a theory. For those of you who do not care just pass it of as me talking to myself. But for the adventurous few... Well you know where to find me.

I've never trusted Webster or his kin... they act like their book has everything, but it's pathetic really; their advice is comprable to the following:

they cannot tell me anything my English teacher says!

It bothers me so!
