How long did it take you to truly understand what a stand alone complex was? When I watched the show i always had a basic or rudimentary idea of what the where talking about but I was more in to the show the major the tachikomas. But then I set down and started doing research one day because I really wanted to know and understand what a stand alone complex was. Took me four days.

The definition of a Stand Alone Complex?
I knew what it was before even hearing of GiTS. This show was not the first to use the concept.

[Pandemon] Erik_Deadman i always thought stand alone complex ment it stand alon from other acts, its indvidual but on a massive scale. if u notice it al starts out with one person but soon spreads to thers but the others kinda of change it to suite their needs So it's an illness or just a form of behavior? It's a form of behavior and even though it resembles an illness it isn't. It could be considered a mental illness, though. I'm not sure. You can get an idea about the term from the text at the beginning of the first episode, where it describes the psychology of some of those without cybernetic implants. Essentially, they have a "Stand Alone Complex"; they feel that they "stand alone" from the rest of humanity who have cybernetic implants, which allow those with them to communicate at any time with anyone who also has implants. This also is a reference to the stories, whether they refer to the ongoing Laughing Man investigations, "Complex", or whether they are not involved, and "Stand Alone". This is what i think, anyway. You're free to derive your own conclusions. 3nodding

Stand alone complex are people who copy an original which we aren't sure was real at all. To put it simply, it's copies without an original. Basically, that's what stand alone complex is. Come to think of it, could Santa Claus be considered a stand alone complex? Because we don't know if there was an original and people do pretend to be him whenever christmas comes around... Just thinking. xp

Just thinking. xp I always understood "Stand Alone Complex" to be the phenomenon when two similar but conventionally unrelated events happen simultaneously without any original source. For example: Both Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz discovered Calculus at similar times with no communication between them. In fact, both were secretive of their works. It's a mystery as to why, and both went about it different ways, but they both discovered the same thing at the same time. This is a Stand Alone Complex.
