about:
andrej synkar doesnt like to talk about himself, but i really need a butler so hit me up for that (its not just for the batman fantasy)
cv:
oh well, this is really embarassing, i'd love to show you my cv which has thousands of academic visits, beurocratic badges of honor and reputational certifications that i slaved my sanity away for, however coincidentally a ferocious tiger happened to come up to me in my apartment at just at that exact moment and eat it. thankfully my buddy was there to capture it all on the camera or else you wouldn't believe meor you could also just read my theory
news:
important events in andrej synkar's professional career life (philosophical achievements only):
21st sept. 2025: philosopher andrej synkar has just completed a world-class famous italian dish, the risotto pomodoro zucchinini cannellonini al limonini. this dish has been rated extremely favorably by certain world class-chefs, such as roberto faggolomento sacramento, who gave it two and a half out of two and a half stars. also, the ghost living in andrej's apartment thought it was really disgusting but thats besides the point and nobody really cares about his opinion, marc argontrontino even said that the ghost is basically an involuntary celibate
november 2nd, 2025 mexican cook-theologian daniel santiago jose paranambuanca said of andrej synkar's salsa rossonini cashewcini olivoni agrumini deluxe, that it is "wondefully rich in various references and concepts, especially the ones about relajo and zozobra, two mexican staples in the philosophical diet".
daniel also decided he would personally be involved in synkar's next event, which will be streamed live on top of the mount etna volcano, with hundreds of attendes ready to immerse themselves.
november 14th, 2025: italian philosopher and chef sergiobottini mastermindini: andrej synkar's bold new philosophically enhanced masterwork, the chickaroni parmigianini olivetti semini bombolini comes jam-packed with references, from hegel's science of logic, to sartre's being and nothing. i would be nothing without having tried this being, man, the way andrej makes his dishes is a science, logically!sergiobottini mastermindini was aptly executed for writing such a cringe review shortly after it was released. andrej's dish remains outstanding however.
14th oct. 2025: philosophical mastermind andrej synkar has been granted the italian medal for "best possible cuisine in the last four thousand years" by the western civilization committee of chefs and philosophers, which has stated on its website "synkar's polpette rigattoni fagiolini zuccaroni al curri-oni is the best dish ever made by somebody with three hands. it shows an immaculate capacity for philosophical thinking, even henri lefebvre in spain in 1964 wasn't able to make such a mesmerizing dish, and we gave him four minutes as opposed to andrej's two and a half"

the kastro universe, on top of being a glorified worldbuilding attempt is also kind of a whole mythology
KASTRO ISn't just the fictional WORLDBUILDING project of andrej synkar, which he has been working on technically all his life, but also has been built up as a secret religion (Sila nepantla), as a collection of juvenile writings spanning thousands of pages (zera) and even as a whole franchise with its own maps and universe of thousands of characters (bellaliena). but it also serves to underline andrej's entire mental state, given that the illustrAtions began when he was around six years old whereas work on the sci-fi books began when he was fourteen. the kastro universe features thousands of unique characters, events, locations, ideas and even terminology and invented languages, supplied by illustrations, careful indexing and elaborations and other unique devices, making it a very valuable collection of manuscripts for whatever insane archeologist with all the wrong fetishes wants to steal it. the illustrations continued all the way into 2022, subsiding around that time when andrej started his philosophical ambitions, before he returned to it with new passions to expand it into a proper popular media world.

how does kastro relate to synkar's broader work?
young synkar would later broaden his scope into various forms of fiction and non-fiction, all largely before he had any reading experience of his own. a lot of his early creative input would later be used in an allegorical and mythological form to serve as scaffolding for his future philosophical interests, which would largely be used as a surface on top of which he rests his philosophical underpinnings. characters like vefix, lasix, santix, aryela and zera would escape his world and end up being used in social circles, as memes and as working material for his future philosophy. andrej would later take this to his advantage, expanding these characters and their universe to fit various revelations and projects of his own. andrej has a tendency to consistently shift registers between allegory, concept, mythology and real-world standings, partially due to his inclination to abstract from empirical contexts into something less grounded, meaning often times he'll mix philosophical elaborations with his own mythological underpinnings, even going to the extent that he sees himself as somehow posessed by vefix. not a single manager, beurocrat or even doctor of any kind likes this guy
early influences and intentions
the earliest writings are a collage of both andrej's literary intuition and remains mostly uncontaminated by popular language forms of any kind, whilst still containing certain choice words that andrej selected on his own by browsing the internet, meaning most of it is andrej's own creative underlining for better or worse. andrej at fourteen years old in his early writings attempted to show how gnosticism could still be portrayed and accurately represented even if the interpretor cant exactly make sense of it, which is why things chronology, story, pacing, character development and etc can remain seperate from the work whilst it still features a very precise, coordinated and complex web of events. the literary influence of the project is mostly self-referential, written before andrej had exposure to any form of literature, making it a compelling read precisely because of the lexical and structural novelty that is a result of andrej's unique disposition during the time, giving a window into the state of his mind and the way that somebody makes use of language when only exposed to media artifacts and ones own thought patterns. andrej has been almost obsessively sketching an entire universe, mostly unconsciously and overtime.

the main fictional universe
the main universe is located in the bellaliena works, all indexed by greek number initials. the first and most impactful work according to andrej's like three or four friends that he's ever haid goes by the name "omega", which is andrej's attempt to highlight a particular domain of the world where aliens speculate in extremely dense simulated battlefields. a lot of it is written in a type of reflexive inner state. the story has no containable plot point, no main characters, and even character appearances themselves are all largely ambiental and atmospheric rather than actually grounded. the first character with an inner state of mind, vefix, only shows up halfway through omega 2. the work largely features extensively described battlescenes where no actual stakes exist, nobody experiences loss, strategies remain grounded and speculative, encounters are brief and tense, and the narrative behind the story from the readers perspective mostly remains outside of the actual pacing of the inner world the characters inhabit, meaning no real narrative device exists to ground anything that is happening. this is andrej's attempt at writing a religious or lithurgical, divine story, a series of events that are assumably far more intelligent than human readers are able to comprehend, but instead of ancient gnostic traditions, they are still faithfully represented
early culmination of works
in his early writings, synkar would expand his literary ("thesis") series into four main camps, parodying philosophical subdivisions: A: Bellaliena (Alien Wars) (Fiction, Novel, Sci-Fi, Contemporary Art, Horror, Thriller, Existentialism, Action, Universe Building), B: Ael (Theory) (Biology, Human Behavioral Pscyhology, Prophysics, Metaphysics, Metathics, Epistemology & Critical Theory), C: Valora (Valorax) (Sociology, Ideology, Linguistics, Economics, History, Postmodernism, Phenomenology) and D: Sinogsas (Signosas/Gnosis) (Nihlism, Existentialism, Stoicism, Moral Antirealism, Axiology, Art, Terror Management Theory, Cosmicism, Lifestyle Interpretation). these would all fall under a single work, "zera", a collection of all his writings that he compiled around the start of 2020, during a phase where he was convinced he would kill himself and would require a type of "life's work" to consolidate or make excue of his existence at that point. andrej's melodramatic nature existed to kind of offset the actual intensity of his working process
what makes the kastro universe unique compared to all other fictional universes?
the kastro universe is the worlds first five-class multi-register mythology. now what does this actually mean? every entity or character (hypernova) exists as cosmic force, political agent, higher divine being (crystal), narrative shell/complex (political real-word agent), and causal node (cosmic beings are relationally intertwined) all at the same time. the same being is simultaneously the cause of metaphysical laws, a character, an institution, and cosmological process. in synkar's universe, cosmology and ontology is equalized, cosmic events are just ontological events of bigger and more lasting proportion, which the hypernova both exhibit, cause, are caused by, and also act on the world as if they were human agents, this causes a mix of genealogical and factional tensions. hypernova have origins in each other’s failures or splits, but also participate in factional organizations (antharax inc., tenebrous inc.). this makes them both mythic progenitors and corporate actors. now, how does synkar actually contain this contradiction?
andrej's art-style from the period of 2018-2021 would feature a lot of uneven and unfinished lining, bold and varied strokes and nearly schizophrenic patterning works in an attempt to capture the essence of the kastro universe
spite, one of the earliest and most impactful hypernova in the mythology, known for his implicit resistance to expected narratives and overwhelming self-agency
synkar's solution to the hypernova contradiction (or, how to make a force also be an agent)
synkar causes a split between the hypernova’s crystal-intent (hypernova are divine gods that exist in the 25th dimension as giant pink crystals) and the shell’s complex (in every universe, a hypernova has a copy of themselves that physically and ontologically enacts their intentions and desires, but sometimes this shell goes rogue). this allows betrayal, misalignment, and political subterfuge while maintaining the cosmic register. the whole lore of the kastro universe is SET up in such a way that the kastroplex is not a battlefield or pantheon between gods like in earlier mythologies, but its kind of like this weird cybernetic meta-war, a procedural structure where universes are edited like genetic sequences by the hypernova themselves, who fight not only over the fate of the world and each others fate, but over their actual reconstruction inside of the world itself. this makes the cosmology itself a kind of administrative bureaucracy at an ontological level, BUT ALso a sort of heraclitian flux of constant dynamic character changes
an example of a kastro hypernova elucidates the complexity and intricacy of the gods in the mythology
cleyomenta, also known as aeoa, is the second crystal-spawn and one of the earliest known hypernova. she is classified at power-tier 4 and represents the origin of hyperorganic matter and the cause of gravity in the primordial pre-kastro hypernova dimension. her representative force is raptorism, understood as a co-evolutionary speculative repeating phenomenon: all raptors, or protolizards across universes, draw upon her life-force to exist, each carrying a fraction of her essence. alongside this, she is also the cause of cosmologically relevant mass-scale events. however, politically she is an omega within the antharax inc. kastroplex-level organization, opposed to the tenebrous inc. agents of kastroplex gene-editing. however, in specific universes such as alyssia, her shell (the core-body of that universe) develops a complex that intends to betray her hypernova directive. her origin lies in the hypernova dimension, when raea’s crystal faltered and fragmented, giving rise to her existence. within the kastroplex, she and raea are secret allies but surface-level enemies, with all the hypernova fully aware of each other’s deeper intentions, while their shell-complexes often diverge from those intentions, at least in their surface appearances. simultaneously, the actions of the shells often may not correspond to the understood intentions of the hypernova precisely because of the required unorthodoxy implicit in universal gene-editing practices.
far-fetching ambitions and predecessors
synkar’s system is in a certain sense a systematized evolution of mythopoesis into a postmodern structure, which means that kastro has experimental and wide implications for how mythological systems can be structured. the characters in kastro achieve a level of humanizing gods that the world's culture has not been able to get to until this point. here's are a bunch of examples that elaborate the point and show exactly how kastro is the most evolved version yet, by hammering down on precedents and near-misses:a) previous gnostic systems such as valentinian aeons and emanations → have beings as both metaphysical forces and narrative figures. but they don’t have the subjectivity split that makes them contradictory figures like in kastro.b) tolkien (valar/maiar) → does have godlike forces who also manifest and act on the world, but without the corporate-bureaucratic dimension that turns them into political figures.c) lovecraft’s mythos → does indeed have cosmic beings with local instantiations and variations like in kastro, but is lacking the structuralized factional and intentional layers that turn them into clans and institutions as much as they are individual actors.d) gene wolfe, delany, miéville → contemporary attempts come closest by toying with the layering of both ontology and narrative, but not with the rigorous crystalline taxonomy that can be seen in kastro.e) roleplaying/game systems sometimes do attempt cosmology + politics (planescape, white wolf mage), but they don’t map entities across five simultaneous roles, they're usually missing the "representation/essence" aspect of the gods at the very least - they're limited in their state as games usually
figures
click the illustrations to read my writings on them
figures represent thinkers who have achieved canon status or are primary references in philosophy that can be used for clout in online discourses like twitter that flag them as status-worthy names, which dilutes my perception of them. star-titled figures are ones i couldn't resist flirting with anyways (take that as you will)
persons
click the illustrations to read my writings on them
primarily pre-internet or non-internet figures that never achieved canon status but also never had the whole contemporary split-identity problem. also just includes random people who are somehow relevant but didnt even write theory. now you may be wondering, am i just trying to remake the holy trinity but for theory? i can't really answer that question, but persons are indeed closest to the logos.
ghosts
click the illustrations to read my writings on them
ghosts are divided into avatars and simulars, and feature a mix of contemporaries, inspirations and thinkers currently in dialogue with synkar, however their defining trait is that their online presence trumps their embededness in the real world. chris-chan is an example of an ontological avatar, making it impossible to distinguish which part of his life, if any at all, isn't a performance. a good example of a simular is someone like technoblade, or was up until his private world became revealed post-partum, who may and did bury the hints of otherwise private real-world struggle with pseudo-ironic online commentary
concepts
click the words to see all my writings on the concept
have you ever wanted to search through someones archive, but instead of chomsky's genius software encoders who created a whole operating system to see every single word ever muttered by the man, you could actually see only the relevant parts the thinker actually wants to show you on a given word? well you're in luck, because synkar's development team (made up of literally just himself) has divided conceptual domains neatly into synkarisms and general concepts, and selected for only the relevant aspects of any single writing to be shown. synkar also developed a system called idiotics that neatly traces indexes of certain pages and the ways the concepts interact in them, so you can actively trace various uses of concepts, imbedded into the page.
