The Second Personality creates stories that act to make connections within the unconscious mind. These stories are non-linear, pushing away aspects of the classical world including the ego. Fight Club, 1999 offers a useful example in cinema of how the Second Personality forms non-egocentric stories. This manifests itself in decentralised art as artists use pseudonyms rather than their given names.
The Persona creates stories that form connection in the external, social world. These stories are collective and linear. It is performative in nature rather than a physical expression of the mind.
