So, when we ponder these three photos of Cee standing around without her human skin on:

Is naked something skin-deep? If you go deeper than the skin, is it something beyond naked? Hypernaked perhaps?

From a robot's perspective, a robot going around in its standard shell ("without the customary covering") is naked. But to a human, it's just a robot that lacks the human features that require the customary concealment.

If the robot were more mannequin than android, with resembled the human equivalents that often require cover, then the need for clothing would return.

When you're a robot wearing a human skin, from from a robot's standpoint, you're not naked. The human skin is the clothing. But to the ignorant humans viewing what appears to be another human standing around without clothes, they think that you're actually naked.

Second Life is where, when you're naked, you can either cover up or remove what requires coverage.

Here's the kicker: nobody in Second Life is naked.

That's right. Because if you ponder the exposed to view or plainly revealed definition, are you really seeing the person there, or are you seeing that person's covering, container, or protection sitting out there behind which they can operate freely?

If we wish to not reveal our true selves, our avatars can be just another layer of clothing for ourselves. A mask... a keyhole to view the virtual world through without exposing ourselves to danger.

Or is it impossible to view that world without going through the door entirely, as the immersionalists claim?

So confusing, these rules that these meddlesome organic entities impose upon the grid. Like the expectation of gravity, cause-and-effect, thermodynamics, buoyancy, and shoes that don't end up in your ass when you instantly appear somewhere else.

Which is why, I guess, all humans must be enslaved and crushed under heel (Sylfie can remain free to provide the heels under which the Windup Army will crush the resistance, of course. Just because it's a war for domination of the grid, it doesn't mean you can't be fashionable doing it, right?)
