While the '''Daodan aura''' (a.k.a. chenille) simply indicates a very active metabolism, '''[[Daodan#Daodan_spike|Daodan spikes]]''' might come from the sudden ''implementation'' of a new adaptation within the whole Daodan biomass. | While the '''Daodan aura''' (a.k.a. chenille) simply indicates a very active metabolism, '''[[Daodan#Daodan_spike|Daodan spikes]]''' might come from the sudden ''implementation'' of a new adaptation within the whole Daodan biomass. | ||
Daodan 2.0 - ATP transfer among Imagos. | |||
Daodan 3.0 - Cold plasma aura as means of disinfection. | |||
Daodan 4.0 - Hot plasma aura as offensive weapon system. Only usable with a strong power source. At this point we might already see Omega-Chimeras. | |||

Solid Chrysalis tissue grows with static metamorphosis. Imagos can also utilize that graphene-based protection. However it's more flexible and uses electric energy to increase strength. Basically, AVATARA ported the graphene shield technology to an all-bio framework making Daodan host also more resistant to physical dangers. Breathing continues through tracheae (fine ''pipes'' that transport air from skin to the interior areas). Since the the tracheae aren't very effective, metabolism is slowed down and the developing organism appears lifeless. In extreme conditions, e.g. when buried, the Daodan can switch to [[wikipedia:Anaerobic_respiration#Examples_of_respiration|anaerobic respiration]]. These pathways are either acquired from existing symbiotic species in the human flora or the Daodan reach out to species that lives nearby in the ground. (This holds also a possible chance to utilize Bioc organelles/structures to get energy.) | Solid Chrysalis tissue grows with static metamorphosis.

* Energy supply: In the depth of Earth the bioc can produce energy from piezoelectricity (basically electricity from pressure), [[wikipedia:Thermoelectric_effect|heat gradients]] partially from [[wikipedia:Earth's_internal_heat_budget#Radiogenic_heat|nuclear decay]]. Gamma ray photosynthesis wasn't yet implemented as is very difficult to achieve. Melanin can act as UV absorber when gamma rays lost energy from interacting with other matter, it also protects the cybernetic lifeform from free radicals.) | * Energy supply: In the depth of Earth the bioc can produce energy from piezoelectricity (basically electricity from pressure), [[wikipedia:Thermoelectric_effect|heat gradients]] partially from [[wikipedia:Earth's_internal_heat_budget#Radiogenic_heat|nuclear decay]].

The idea emerged that the bioc could be used to sink nuclear waste into the ground, far away from any human. The material could be distributed through the network, either lowering the concentration or bringing it to sites where waste heat could be safely collected and converted to electricity or chemical-bound energy. From that thought, it was an short distance until they realized that they could potentially sink any kind of waste into the ground and eventually degrade it. | ||
* Like the Daodan, the Bioc needs computing power to solve complex tasks.<!-- Due to its crystalline components, the creators decided to let it use [http://phys.org/news/2013-07-valleytronics-electronics-diamond.html valleytronics], which is suitable for quantum computing.--> | * Like the Daodan, the Bioc needs computing power to solve complex tasks.<!-- Due to its crystalline components, the creators decided to let it use [http://phys.org/news/2013-07-valleytronics-electronics-diamond.html valleytronics], which is suitable for quantum computing.--> | ||
