::A Daodan is similar to a Screamer, in the way that its extension/projection into our dimension can appear as a smaller or larger "presence" (the aura's glow, the amount of available "energy", and the "bandwidth" if you think of the Daodan as a supercomputer residing in the other dimension and "connecting wirelessly" to the host and its Chrysalis). The Daodan also has a "hook" (the Chrysalis cells), which maintains the Daodan in contact with the host even at full (or nearly full) "latency" - and allows the aura/energy/information to flow from the Phase into our dimension and back. | ::A Daodan is similar to a Screamer, in the way that its extension/projection into our dimension can appear as a smaller or larger "presence" (the aura's glow, the amount of available "energy", and the "bandwidth" if you think of the Daodan as a supercomputer residing in the other dimension and "connecting wirelessly" to the host and its Chrysalis).

::The Chrysalis biomass can also be seen as a portal between dimensions. When the process is initiated, the portal/hook is the size of a single cell, so there is a narrow "bottleneck" in terms of the energy and information that can come through "from the other side" (thus the growth and adaptability of the Chrysalis are slow at this stage). However, as the Chrysalis grows further and produces "metastases", the "energy throughput" and informational "bandwidth" increase dramatically - allowing faster, more powerful and more intelligent transformations. It is important that this process is not rushed, otherwise there's a risk of "instability" (integrity loss; deformity, inhuman features, insanity, etc). Finally the whole body of the host turns into a transdimensional portal, and the "aura" has direct access from the Phase to any of the host's cells - what happens then (Imago) is anyone's guess, but "the possibilities are endless!!!" (teleportation, telekinesis, flight, summoning...). | ::The Chrysalis biomass can also be seen as a portal between dimensions.

::Seen from that perspective, the Daodan is "just" a benevolent Screamer. Instead of draining energy from living cells, it provides them with extra energy and "motivation". Hasegawa's first experiments may have been with Screaming Cells as a tunable "source of damage" (trying to genetically engineer cells that would resist a Screamer's draining for as long as possible) - until one day the parameters of the "Phase hook" changed and, instead of "fishing" a Screamer as usual, it is a Daodan that came out of the Phase and "bit" the tissue sample. The amazing properties of this new entity became clear immediately: the sample doesn't die from energy draining; in fact the cells look healthy and start dividing/mutating, even without a [[wp: | ::Seen from that perspective, the Daodan is "just" a benevolent Screamer.

::That's just real-time brainstorming up there - generated on the spot, as usual - but it fits in rather well with my general ideas-so-far about the Daodan/Chrysalis entity, so I will probably add it to TNZ as "plausible fact". Let me know if you think it makes sense as an alternative to your ideas and 'Scen's. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]]) 19:46, 21 May 2020 (CEST) | ::That's just real-time brainstorming up there - generated on the spot, as usual - but it fits in rather well with my general ideas-so-far about the Daodan/Chrysalis entity, so I will probably add it to TNZ as "plausible fact".

:My approach is computation. Kerr and Hasegawa heavily relied on Avatara's power to pull off that kind of research. Also to adapt to any threat (through non-random mutation, '''smart''' cancer) the Daodan needs to be a quantum computer in blood and flesh. That's totally another research field. | :My approach is computation. Kerr and Hasegawa heavily relied on Avatara's power to pull off that kind of research.
