Typically humanoid interfacing apparatus, used by Vessels to interact with humans more efficiently. Usually at least semi-indipendent, but rarely actually biological.
A type of quantum simulative substrate that can run near infinite simulations in parallel with no impact on performance, with the catch that all simulations collapse upon being observed by somebody on the outside.
A procedure that drastically changes the human body. Examples include complete body overhauls, integration of new organs or systems, HRT, traditional mods such as tattoos, and even personality and consciousness affecting procedures.
The process of a valley-universe "splitting" to create two new sister universes, because of hyperspatial slackening.
Also known as a substance printer or bioprinter. Internal organ, usually controlled via neural interface, designed to produce mind and body-altering substances on demand.
The effective reach of a Field Manipulator. Usually spherical or elliptical.
Power generator that runs on antimatter and hyperspatial tension. An FSE can run forever with no other fuel other than that used to start it.
Dedicated space for full-immersion roleplaying or wargames. Themed after various fantastical or historical settings, and typically no larger than a local section of a ring.
Colloquial name for the fourth dimension.
The totality of all 1044 sequential valley-universes.
The "mind" of a Vessel. Runs on a 4D substrate that harnesses hyperspace to make it several hundred billion times smarter than your average human.
Also known as "Telekinesis Machine" or "SAD Machine". Uses a 4D hyperlattice of individual voxel field effectors to manipulate the fundamental fields of a volume of space from great distances and at speeds faster than light.
System used for the housing and sharing of data based on fixed-substrate ICs and hyperspatial light communication arrays.
Internal semi-biological computing substrate stored in the brain. Used for interfacing with the Net, and subsequently, the world.
Machine based on field manipulation tech that "prints" objects atom by atom on demand. Comes in domestic and industrial sizes.
Colloquial term for a spare body, or a body with no active mind currently inhabiting it, usually synthetic, meant to be "worn" for specific situations.
The shared language of [coreverse]. Constructed with utilitarianism, effectiveness, and modularity in mind.
"Synthetic individual" that utilizes an IC and manipulators.
The process of slowing down from FTL speeds by "lowering" yourself in hyperspace, reducing local lightspeed and bleeding the extra energy as heat and light. Name derived from how bright the process is.
Synthetic habitat that forms an O shape and uses centrifugal force to facilitate gravity. Rings usually enclose their parent star, taking up the entirety of the goldilock's zone orbital lane.
