Cuil theory as applied to fursona discourse:

Level 0: mammal

Where do eldritch abominations fall on this scale

Anywhere from 2.5 to 5.5, depending on the eldritch abomination in question.

As a sona radicalist, this ranking falls short because there is no fundamental difference between a sona of the mathematical constant e and the sona of a sexy wolf- both are the self expression of an individual given name and form. Instead, I propose increasing cuils with the increased distance of a sona through the conscious and unconscious action of aggregates:

Level 0: a sona

Level 1: a local sports team mascot

Level 2: a corporate brand

Level 3: government iconography

Level 4: the cool s, graffiti that is replicated across time and space with no discernable origin

Level 5: the dream we dream not of
