This project is a dystopia based on Symbiogenesis, based on the principle of its endosymbiotic theory, at the origin of the eukaryotic cell, of progressive evolution, leading to the complexification of coding systems, initially as a result of the fusion of prokaryotic cell genomes. It is a concept created by Boris Kozo-Polyansky (1890-1957) and Lynn Margulis (1938-2011).

This project is a dystopia based on Symbiogenesis, based on the principle of its endosymbiotic theory, at the origin of the eukaryotic cell, of progressive evolution, leading to the complexification of coding systems, initially as a result of the fusion of prokaryotic cell genomes. It is a concept created by Boris Kozo-Polyansky (1890-1957) and Lynn Margulis (1938-2011). In the dystopian metasystem of this project, there is a progressive evolution among all metazoans, whose evolutionary scale considers the relationship with horizontal gene transfer and other coding events resulting from the interaction of different genomes leading to the complexification of biosystems.

However, the great creation of all the kingdoms is the human being, which in this case is not part of the Animale, it is a separate being, which arose mainly from the aggregation of less complex symbionts. The human being also becomes the medium of these beings who seek to understand the domains of the human mind, asking whether intelligence, reason and conscience are in fact the figuration of a vast blindness, each being elected from each kingdom, by questioning the human being, becomes a figuration of the human psyche that emerges from the unconscious trying to save this creation (the human being) that does not understand the maintenance of the network of life nor its own intelligence, which in this case distances it from the truth and the will reach apoptosis, as it is the environment that houses the entire kingdom, it will result in the death on a large scale of all of them.

The project is made up of the kingdoms; Kingdom Archaea (Archaebacteria), Kingdom Bacteria (Eubacteria), Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Plantae and Kingdom Animalia.
