PARALLEL · TWINS
A twin is a version of you living right now, in a reality close enough to hold a conversation. Every twin is classified by how far the two realities have drifted apart.

Verified before a channel opens
Parallel confirms the identity on the other end against your own signature before anything is sent. Unverified matches are refused and logged.
Voice and video
Latency depends on your distance from the nearest relay. Most metropolitan users see under 200 milliseconds. Rural users should expect more.
Your side of it, kept
Threads are stored locally and encrypted. Export or delete one at any time. Your twin keeps their own copy on their side and you cannot delete theirs.
EXCHANGE
✨ coming soonAfter enough contact, a twin's profile offers an exchange. If you both agree, you spend fifteen minutes on the other side. Either of you can end it early. Neither of you can extend it.
01
Contact
Exchange stays locked until the two of you have talked enough for it to appear.
02
Consent
Both sides confirm separately. Neither of you sees the other's answer until both are in.
03
Fifteen minutes
A hard stop. The relay closes the channel whether or not you are finished.
04
Return
A short reorientation runs on both sides. Sessions are logged to both accounts.
CLASSIFICATION
Two realities that diverged recently produce a twin almost indistinguishable from you. Two that diverged a long time ago produce someone who shares your face and very little else. The percentage is a measure of drift, not of compatibility.
PREPARATION
Settle into a comfortable position. Allow the room to remain dark and quiet. The camera flash and tones will guide you into a meditative state.
01
A quiet, private space
02
Lights off or dimmed

Lying down comfortably

SAFETY
Parallel is not therapy and is not a substitute for it. A small number of participants report distress in the days after a session. If that happens, stop, and contact the clinical line in the app. We will not ask you to continue.
PHOTOSENSITIVITY
This experience uses camera flash and tonal frequencies. Do not use Echoes if you have photosensitivity or are prone to seizures.
