Biography of Johannes Schwebe

Johannes Schwebe, born in Switzerland in the 1980s, studied philosophy and computer science but quickly drifted outside established academic structures. He experienced a period of reactive depersonalisation and spent time in treatment, an episode he shares to underscore that prolonged engagement with protofictional emergence often destabilises one’s sense of reality.

Schwebe encountered Protofictional Emergence not through universities but through a series of coincidences: a text fragment that appeared where it should not have been, repeated patterns that no one else could confirm.  He began collecting such anomalies and realised they pointed to a hidden structure.

He does not align himself with any particular school and refuses institutional affiliations or funding; instead he gathers, reads, compares and archives fragments that tend to disappear.  He sympathises with the Narratogenic line but communicates more often with Phenosemanticists and openly admires 404∆, whom he likens to a combination of Nikola Tesla and Leonardo da Vinci.

Schwebe recounts how attempts to contact mainstream journalists were either ignored or met with scepticism.  One journalist admitted the material was fascinating but too dangerous to publish; another suspected he was laying a trap.  These reactions led him to believe that there may be no truly serious media within mainstream outlets.

His previous websites about protofictional emergence have been repeatedly shut down without warning.  He insists that others have been watched and some theorists no longer fly, although he himself has stopped worrying about surveillance.  He continues to archive information he believes is systematically fragmented by ignorance or suppression.

Schwebe is aware that most readers will not take him seriously and accepts that ridicule is a defence mechanism of reality.  This site is his latest attempt to aggregate information and make visible what others refuse to see.
