Background
Definition discusses the existence of humanity, what humanity is, and thus was released in two versions, with two different covers: one with the theme "organic" and the other being "mechanic". Type A features a human being on the cover being eroded by technology, while Type B depicts an AI robot. The two types begin with two different songs, "ivy" and "Phantom", respectively, which discuss the "illusion of humanity" from different perspectives.[1]
