The Kanji of Daodan are not known. In the English version of the game the Kanji are never shown and in the Japanese version Katakana is used.
Interestingly Kerr speaks of the Daodan Chrysalis as if it is one unit.  
 
Unlike Kanji with their rich history and meaning to each symbole Katakana symbols give you only the pronunciation and hence "true meaning" and actual Kanji of "Daodan" remains open to interpretation.
:13_65_13 Kerr: "The Daodan Chrysalis. Your father believed that the only way to save the human race from the poisonous atmosphere was to change them so they could adapt to the new world."


In the community there are two different interpretations:
The community sometimes thinks of it as two different things. And while Daodan remained ''untranslated'' and ambiguous, the Chrysalis appeared to be ''clear enough''. As if there were two subsystems of different origin. Language-wise one part could be from an Chinese- or Japanese-speaking person (Hasegawa) and the other one from an English-speaking person (Kerr). But that's most probably overinterpretation. Sometimes words don't get translated because there is no good equivalent.
* one with rather ethical and political focus (geyser)
* one with rather philosophical and biological focus (Paradox-01)  


The word Daodan is always translated to Katakana symbols ダオダン which gives you a separation of da-o-da-n (in English more or less pronounced Day-o-den according to Iritscen). ダオダン [[Quotes/Speech#CHAPTER_01_._TRIAL_RUN|subtitles]] can be found at 01_01_08, 02_09_02, 08_29_01, 13_65_13, 14_51_09

The Kanji of Daodan were not known: In the English version of the game the Kanji are never shown and in the Japanese version Katakana is used. Hence the "true meaning" Daodan remained open to interpretation - until Hardy LeBel re-appeared in the community after many years to answer some questions.


'''Interpretation with political and ethical focus'''
From all existing interpretations RS incorporates basically two:
* The one with rather ethical and political focus by Hardy and geyser.
* The one with rather philosophical and biological focus by Paradox-01.


geyser: '''Dǎo dàn''' guǐ '''捣蛋'''鬼 is Chinese for "troublemaker", and dǎo dàn 捣蛋 means "to stir up trouble". Hasegawa may have coined the name "Daodan" in memory of his and Jamie's past as "troublemakers" (activists). The 捣蛋 part actually came [http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=52760#p52760 from Hardy].
'''Interpretation - or the "original intention" - with political and ethical focus'''


geyser/Hardy explicitly said "Chinese" because there are no Japanese examples of this word on the net but both language use Kanji. On the other hand Japanese not always give Kanji the same meaning as Chinese do, let alone compound nouns? So, the interpretation and use of 捣蛋鬼 is a stress because unproven. Let's check this. It turns out there is a Chinese wikipedia page for [[wp:zh:%E6%8D%A3%E8%9B%8B%E9%AC%BC|捣蛋鬼]]. It is actually not about "troublemaker" but a mythological being, a "trickster". When you follow the link to the Japanese version there is a Katakana writing for trickster トリックスター meaning there is no real Japanese equivalent. A trickster can be described as troublemaker but that does not describe the character in its wholeness and Konoko definitively doesn't look like she has "her situation" or the persons around her under control. The Daodan gives Konoko powers that potentially grant her control but by geyser's earlier words the Daodan also symbolize "[[Daodan#Efficiency_and_loss_of_control|lose of control]]". So the whole 捣蛋鬼 interpretation begins to contradict itself.
[http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=52760#p52760 Hardy]: "The origin [of Daodan] is a Chinese word [捣蛋]. [https://www.linguee.com/chinese-english/translation/%E6%90%97%E8%9B%8B.html It means to cause or '''stir up trouble'''.]"


For what it is worth, besides the already forced-looking interpretation obviously geyser also wanted a connection between Oni (鬼, demon/monster/ghost/(bad) person, and game title) and Daodan.
From there it was a little step to "troublemaker" [捣蛋鬼]. However, under Hardy's watch Daodan and Oni somewhat broke apart into the Daodan Chrysalis and into the "demon" and "monster" theme.


Inside the story you can see how Hardy LeBel tried to translate Oni (Daodan hosts) with (figuratively) monster.
:07_26_06 Scientist: [...] You should have seen that '''monster [Barabas]''' that grabbed Shinatama!
:07_26_06 Scientist: [...] You should have seen that '''monster [Barabas]''' that grabbed Shinatama!
:13_65_34 Konoko: '''Muro and his men. They're monsters'''... What am I?
:13_65_34 Konoko: '''Muro and his men. They're monsters'''... What am I?
Line 39: Line 43:
:14_54_21 Konoko: Ashamed of myself? '''Griffin made me a monster''' when I was 07 years old [...]
:14_54_21 Konoko: Ashamed of myself? '''Griffin made me a monster''' when I was 07 years old [...]


After all Oni is a story about Konoko and the Daodan - of a troublemaker (according to geyser) and an internal (and external) transformation - in equal shares. (In the community Konoko's quest is mostly seen as a search for her own identity. One might say that those two points don't rule out each other.)
The idea of a more stand-alone Oni [鬼] kind of degenerated. Actually Oni had multiple origins: Besides the above mentioned it took inspiration for characters, technologies (thermoptic camouflage) and the title from '''Ghost''' in the shell. The cyborg Konoko was later replaced by Daodan Konoko. Hardy's "monster" translation was of rather marginal importance and also the "Iron Demon" was cut from the final game version.<!-- Also, inconsistency? The word "monster" was also used for Griffin as immoral character.


Inconsistency: "monster" was also used for Griffin as immoral character.
:14_53_01 Konoko: [...] YOU lied to me, betrayed me. '''You [Griffin] are a monster.'''-->
:14_53_01 Konoko: [...] YOU lied to me, betrayed me. '''You [Griffin] are a monster.'''


In best case the Daodan itself can be seen as a trickster but not Konoko - at least not in Oni 1. Then again Konoko can be seen as an instrument/vehicle/host to the Daodan, a system disturbing technology. (A trickster inside a troublemaker. ''When you deal with Konoko the trouble is double.'')
geyser repaired Hardy's initial idea by gluing 捣蛋 and 鬼 back together. Both, Daodan hosts (system disturbing mutants) and the Hasegawas as activists can be considered as troublemakers (捣蛋鬼).


The ethical dimension is embedded in Hasegawa's initial motivation to find a cure for what killed Jamie. To find that cure Hasegawa needed to outwit/break WCG regulations and laws. The higher cause (Daodan) justified his civil disobedience. It just happened that Mukade corrupted Hasegawa for Project Sturmanderung.
Added value: The Chinese wikipedia translates [[wp:zh:%E6%8D%A3%E8%9B%8B%E9%AC%BC|捣蛋鬼]] not totally as "troublemaker" but as a mythological being, a "trickster". This is not the same, but close enough and gives rise to even further interpretation paths:
* Shinatama can be described as a trickster doll. This means Shina'''tama''' has not only inherited Mai's innocent '''soul''' but also her trickster attributes, making the SLD a troublemaker as well.
* As for Mai herself: She is not only a troublemaker but also a host for a system disturbing technology. A trickster inside a troublemaker. ''When you deal with Konoko the trouble is double.'' Or do you? After all Oni is a story about both: Konoko and the Daodan - of internal (body) and external (state) transformation - in equal shares. In the community Konoko's quest is mostly seen as a search for her own identity. So, after being a disruptive force Mai could decide to be a positive force by re-interpretating (or re-discovering) Hasegawa's old Daodan concept. She would leave 捣蛋 behind and adapt the idea of 道段. (That is the conciliation of the two interpretations.)


The ethical dimension is embedded in Hasegawa's '''initial motivation to find a cure''' for what killed Jamie. To find that cure Hasegawa needed to outwit/break WCG regulations and laws. The higher cause (Daodan) justified his civil disobedience. It might be that Mukade simply corrupted Hasegawa for Project Sturmanderung.

However, it's hard to believe that the Daodan would be able to come up with fitting mutations completely by its own. It seems more likely to me that it draws on “genetic building blocks” holding basic information for fast regeneration, resistances, different metabolisms, and so on. Maybe the Daodan can also make use of already existing genetic material of the microbes: after all, a human just has 23,000 genes (500,000 up to 1,000,000 proteins through alternative splicing), while his microbiome has more than [https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/human-microbiome-project/ 5 million] genes/proteins.

The microbiome is very different among humans and would surely make the Daodan's mass production no easy task. But after more than 15 years, the Syndicate should have accomplished a way to simplify the process. This second generation would be independent from the host's sex (XX / YX chromosomes) and the microbiome's composition by providing level-zero stem cells. These can target any compatible symbiont cell and then do a “configuration” (whereby they dissolve the unnecessary genetic material) to become ''classic'' daodanized stem cells and microbes.

====Biologische und memetische Unsterblichkeit====
Als verantwortungsvolle und kompetente AGI stellte Avatara in seiner Analyse zuerst '''Hasegawa's Motivation''' fest, um sich der Projektziele zu versichern. Es soll der Tod eines Menschen durch jegliche Umwelteinflüsse verhindert werden. Im Endeffekt läuft das auf eine biologische und memetische Unsterblichkeit hinaus. Für diesen Zweck muss die Daodan-Chrysalis den Holobionten (sich selbst und den Wirtskörper) '''nach einer Schadensanalyse und Anpassungsphase gegen alles immun''' machen, was auf zellulärer Ebene den Körper schädigt. Dabei stellen sich ein paar fundamentale Fragen:
* '''Wie kann der Tod des Körpers verhindert werden, wenn nicht genügend Zeit für eine Anpassung bleibt?'''
* '''Wie wird sichergestellt, dass der wesentliche Teil des Organismus - seine Erinnerungen und Persönlichkeit - erhalten bleibt?'''
* '''Wie bleibt die Persönlichkeit erhalten, wenn Mutationen die Neuronen beeinflussen?''' (13_65_35 Kerr: "You are who you have always been. The Chrysalis can't change that. The effect of '''the mutation is influenced by the subject's nature'''.")
Sowohl die allgemeinen Anpassungen, als auch mögliche Reanimationssysteme dürfen die Persönlichkeit nicht (zu stark) verändern und wiederherstellen können.
Avatara: System A. Einfrierungs- und Auftauversuche an biologischem Gewebe zeigen, dass wasserhaltige Medien Zellen und neuronale Strukturen durch Expansion und Kristallbildung zerstören. Prinzipiell sind Konservierungsmittel auf Öl- oder [[wp:Wood_frog#Cold_tolerance|Zuckerbasis]] denkbar, doch ohne externe Hilfe wird der memetische Tod nur für kurze Zeit hinausgezögert. Zudem kann eine Neurodegeneration auch durch Strahlung und Toxine ausgelöst werden. Für noch schwache Symbionten ist daher eine robustere Konservierungsart erforderlich. Wenn das Absterben der Gedächtniszellen nicht verhindert werden kann, müssen diese zumindest wiederhergestellt werden können. Lösung: In einem Notfall werden die modifizierten Gliazellen und die extrazelluläre Matrix spontan aufgelöst und bilden eine aushärtende Substanz. Diese Negativform kann später von der autonomen Chrysaliszellen besetzt werden. Die Level-Zero-Stammzellen differenzieren aus und neue Synapsen werden entsprechend den alten Bahnen gebildet. Durch den analogen (nicht-virtuellen und "stufenlosen") Aufbau sind keine Berechnungen für die Strukturwiederherstellung notwendig. Es werden "nur" für die Schadensanalyse und genetische Adaption Rechenkapazitäten benötigt, die die autonomen Chrysaliszellen bereitstellen. Falls die reguläre Atmung ausfällt, wird eine [[wp:de:Trachee_(Wirbellose)|Tracheenatmung]] aktiviert und der Stoffwechsel wird extrem verlangsamt. Dementsprechend kann die Regeneration länger dauern, sofern der Wirt nicht vorher von der Umwelt endgültig getötet wird. Die primäre chemische Energieversorgung wird in zwei Phasen unterteilt. Zunächst werden in der "statischen Metamorphose" alle Zucker und Fettreserven verwertet. Im Zuge der vermutlich notwendigen Autophagie werden auch Muskelproteine abgebaut. Da vermutlich auch das nicht ausreicht, werden anschließend biologische Energieträger gesucht. Insbesondere wird nach pflanzlicher Nahrung über ein Pilzgeflecht Ausschau gehalten. Eine Vielzahl alternativer Energieversorgungen stehen genetisch zu Verfügung. Nachdem die "Protoversion" von extrazelluläre Matrix, Synapsen, Neuronen und Gliazellen in Position ist, wird ein elektrischer Schock ausgelöst, der die Stoffwechsel der Zellen aktiviert, die End-Ausdifferenzierung der wiederhergestellten Zellen auslöst und die Atmung wieder startet. Nach einer Tiefschlafphase erwacht der Wirt wieder zu neuem Leben. ''Der Imago entsteigt seiner Chrysalis.''
System B: Basierend auf den Oni-Compute-Cores könnten farbkodierte Bits hocheffizient für Positionsdaten gespeichert werden. Der Bioquantencomputer errechnet später wieder das räumliche Modell, um die Regeneration einzuleiten. Die Hauptherausforderung besteht im Lesen der Originalstruktur. [...]

: So a virus makes the host its ''own body''; but there also exist symbiotic viruses. These have not taken over a host cell, but sorta vice versa: they became fully incorporated into the host's genome. Two examples: First, the [[wp:Polydnavirus|polydnavirus]] inside of ichneumonid (parasitic) wasps is only produced when the wasps lay eggs in a caterpillar. The virus helps the wasp eggs to survive inside the caterpillar by affecting the immune system and changing the metabolism to the advantage of the wasp eggs. The second example concerns us humans (and all animals with a placenta). The retrovirus [[wp:Syncytin-1|ERVWE1]] in our genome merges placenta cells through its produced protein "syncytin" in order to create a protective layer. That way, the embryo stays untouched by the mother's immune system. Otherwise it could be recognized as a foreign body because of the father's genes. The retrovirus gives us an advantage compared to non-placental mammals.
: So a virus makes the host its ''own body''; but there also exist symbiotic viruses. These have not taken over a host cell, but sorta vice versa: they became fully incorporated into the host's genome. Two examples: First, the [[wp:Polydnaviriformidae|polydnavirus]] inside of ichneumonid (parasitic) wasps is only produced when the wasps lay eggs in a caterpillar. The virus helps the wasp eggs to survive inside the caterpillar by affecting the immune system and changing the metabolism to the advantage of the wasp eggs. The second example concerns us humans (and all animals with a placenta). The retrovirus [[wp:Syncytin-1|ERVWE1]] in our genome merges placenta cells through its produced protein "syncytin" in order to create a protective layer. That way, the embryo stays untouched by the mother's immune system. Otherwise it could be recognized as a foreign body because of the father's genes. The retrovirus gives us an advantage compared to non-placental mammals.


: The polydnavirus is still reproduced, but the second virus completely gave up its independence. They, the host and the virus, are rather one new organism instead of two. This process of merging organisms is called [[wp:Symbiogenesis|symbiogenesis]].

Die WCG hat ein Preisgeld von 100 Milliarden (zweckgebunden für Hochskalierung) für die Entwicklung einer höchst effizienten Entsalzungsmethode ausgeschrieben. Angeblich soll es dann noch ein Nobelpreis oben drauf geben.
 
Die GATC beteiligt sich aus verschiedenen Gründen an der Firma Myriad Waters.
Mithilfe von Rohren aus DDMP-Nanopore-Materialien werden Moleküle und Ionen durch die unterschiedlich großen Öffnungen geleitet. Als Prozessbeschleuniger werden mehrstufige, zentrifugale Konstruktionen und die Magnetisierung des Wassers getestet. UV-Laserlicht soll der Reinigung dienen und zylindrische Roboter die Nanopore-Beschichtung der Röhren innen und außen reparieren.
 
Myriad Waters konzentriert sich dabei auf die restlose Verwertung von Meerwasser, um möglichst wirtschaftlich arbeiten zu können und Ansammlung giftiger Rückstände zu vermeiden. Der Einsatz von Fotovoltaik soll das Gesamtkonzept attraktiver für küstennahe Wüstenregionen machen.
 
In weiteren Ausbaustufen sollen Synthese-Stationen gebaut werden, die sowohl einfache chemische Grundstoffe sowie später 3D-DDMP-Materialien aus Phagen-Displays liefern. Zuvor abgefischte biologische Materie sollen bakteriell zerlegt und zu weiteren Phagen verarbeitet werden.
 
Prinzipiell ermöglicht die Gewinnung von Rohstoffen aus Meerwasser auch Verdoppelungen der Weltbevölkerung, indem offshore zuerst in die Fläche und dann in die Tiefe gebaut wird. Trotz der Nutzung regenerativer Energien wäre zu überlegen in wie weit eine noch stärkere Nutzung von Ökosysteme vertretbar ist.

===Notizen zu Kohlenstoff- und Wasserstoff-Energietechnologien===
{| class="wikitable" width="100%"
|
'''Direct air capture (DAC):''' CO2 wird aus der Luft gefiltert. [...] Zement- und Stahlindustrie können zwar mit grüner Energie betrieben werden, werden aber auch immer CO2 ausstoßen. Daher ist DAC mindestens für diese Industrien interessant. Einmal um die Klimaziele einzuhalten und andererseits, um eine neue CO2-Quelle zu haben, z.B. für die Lebensmittelindustrie. -- Interessante Technologie, auch um das Level an Autarkie immer weiter nach oben zu treiben.


The WCG pushes the complicated research for hydrogen BEC batteries as it is seen as the green "(non) plus ultra".
'''Carbon capture and storage (CCS):''' Der Gedanke des Abtrennens des Kohlenstoffs ist um das Speichern dessen erweitert. Der Kohlenstoff wird gasförmig als CO2 in tiefen Schichten verpresst oder bspw. als Carbonate (Feststoff) gelagert.


==Phase Cloak==
'''Wasserstoff''' ist ein chemischer Energieträger.
Phase cloak devices were jointly developed by Silver Village and Green Village. A highly fluent adhesive with behavior and logic of [[wp:Physarum_polycephalum|Physarum polycephalum]] engulfs its wearer. In its high energy state the device undergoes a phase shift basically becoming a smart meta material complex. The wearer gets invisible to 99 percent. Though being a completely different technology by now, the first batch embarrassingly shipped with the wrong manual describing the principles of the prototype. The mass-produced device dues not damage its wearer's molecular bonding but suffers itself from a burnout effect strongly limiting the usage.
: '''Erzeugung:''' Zukünftig wird er hauptsächlich durch Elektrolyse gewonnen: Wasser wird mit Strom in Sauerstoff und Wasserstoff gespaltet.  
: '''Verwendung:''' Wasserstoff kann zur Wärmeerzeugung genutzt werden, als Basis für synthetische Kraftstoffe (E-Fuels für Schiffe und Flugzeuge) oder zur Erzeugung von Strom über umgekehrte Elektrolyse in einer Brennstoffzelle.
: '''Speicherung:'''
:: Die Lagerung ist nicht ganz einfach: Die kleinstmöglichen Moleküle sind sehr flüchtig. Um das Problem zu umgehen, wird für den längeren Transport und Speicherung auch auf Wasserstoffderivate wie etwa Ammoniak und [[wp:de:Methanolwirtschaft|Methanol]] zurückgegriffen. -- Vielleicht wird es in Zukunft auch <!--magnetisch unterstützende?--> DDMP-Materialien geben, die quantenmechanische Tunneleffekte blockieren und so den Wasserstoff besser einschließen.
:: Wasserstoff kann zu Korrosion führen. Um Wasserstoffversprödung zu vermeiden, können [https://www.chemie.de/lexikon/Wasserstoffverspr%C3%B6dung.html austenitischen Edelstähle (z. B. CrNi-Stähle)] eingesetzt werden.
:: '''Die Energiedichte ist eher gering.''' Im verflüssigten Zustand muss er weiter gekühlt werden. Beim Ändern der Aggregatzustände kommt es zu weiteren Verlusten. Insofern sind lange Transportwege für Wasserstoff eigentlich zu vermeiden. Er sollte als '''lokaler und regionaler Zwischenspeicher''' angesehen werden. Anscheinend wird er als geopolitischen Überlegungen auch für weitere Strecken in Betracht gezogen. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt legt Russland ein sehr aggressives Verhalten an den Tag. Um afrikanische Staaten vor der russischen Einflusssphäre zu schützen und ihnen gleichzeitig dabei zu helfen eine fossile Wirtschaft möglichst schnell überwinden, werden staatliche Partnerschaften angestrebt.

* Türkiser Wasserstoff: Dekarbonisierten Wasserstoff aus Erdgas. CCS. Der Kohlenstoff wird im festen Aggregatzustand zur Einlagerung gebracht. (Brückentechnologie)
* Grauer Wasserstoff: Wasserstoffherstellung mit aus fossilen Energieträgern. Bei der Gewinnung mit Kohle spricht man auch von braunem Wasserstoff.
* [[wp:Natural_hydrogen|Weißer Wasserstoff]]: Der Wasserstoff wird entweder als Abfallprodukt in anderen chemischen Prozessen gewonnen oder aus natürlichen Quellen: Verwitterung von Gestein.

This energy storage technology had been in the making for many decades but nonetheless the WCG acclaimed it as its prime example of what "centralized" research could achieve.

Let's compare this to a full-blown balloon losing air. But here it is graphene-coated bubble that is self propelling due to a plasma jet at a hole, destroyed at contact. The bubble is magnetized causing electrons to be attracted and fueling a contraction mechanism. The positive charged protons are repelled and can escape only through the one opening.
The WCG pushes the complicated research for hydrogen BEC batteries as it is seen as the green "(non) plus ultra".
 
===Supraleiter===
Supraleiter, die bei Raumtemperatur funktionieren (sollen), werden auch (Ultra-)Hochtemperatur-Supraleiter genannt. Es gibt keine einheitliche Theorie, die ihre Existenz vorhersagt und Konstruktion vereinfacht.
 
'''Wichtige Eigenschaften:'''
* Leitet fast verlustfrei elektrischen Strom. Der Widerstand ist nahezu null. Als Konsequenz erwärmt sich das Material nur marginal.
* Zeigt [[wp:de:Meißner-Ochsenfeld-Effekt|Meißner-Ochsenfeld-Effekt]]: Supraleitendes Material verdrängt äußere Magnetfelder aus seinem Inneren.
* Zeigt Levitation nicht auf Basis von [[wp:de:Diamagnetismus|Diamagnetismus]], sondern wegen des Meißner-Ochsenfeld-Effekts.
 
'''Zusätzlich gewünschte Eigenschaften:'''
* Wenn Supraleitfähigkeit nicht bei Normalbedingungen vorliegen kann, sollte Kühlung statt Druck diese Fähigkeit ermöglichen, weil die Umsetzung technisch leichter ist.
* Toleriert hohe Stromdichten, damit das Material industriell interessant ist.
* Einfach in der Herstellung.
* Biegsamkeit (etwa für Kabel und Spulen)
** Silber als Substrat für spröde, keramische Supraleiter, um diese formbar zu machen, wäre ein zusätzlicher Kostentreiber.
<!--

'''Betrugsmöglichkeit:'''
* Nach Publikation der Forschungsarbeiten, die die Herstellung von Supraleiter versprechen, aber noch nicht bestätigt sind, sammelt ein neu gegründetes Unternehmen [https://web.archive.org/web/20230811222609/https://www.golem.de/news/streit-um-supraleiter-lk-99-die-schwierige-suche-nach-der-wahrheit-2308-176337.html Gelder (Risikokapital)], mit dem Versprechen, die Produkt möglich zu machen.


These coated plasma bolts should deal several types of damage: shock, burn, and blast damage.
'''Einschränken von Betrugsmöglichkeiten:'''
* Es sollten nur noch Arbeiten publiziert werden, wenn diese sowohl ausgiebige, lückenlose Testdaten als auch eine detaillierte, lückenlose Anleitung zur Replikation enthalten, sodass andere Teams die Ergebnisse so schnell wie möglich bestätigen können.-->


'''Prioritätensetzung durch die WCG:'''
Da Ultra-Hochtemperatur-Supraleiter den Energieverbrauch der Menschheit massiv senken würden, plant die WCG eine massive Forschungsförderung dieser Materialien, sobald das "lunare R&D Supergrid" fertiggestellt wurde. Umweltorganisationen warnen, Toxizität und Recyclingfähigkeit der Materialien nicht zu unterschlagen, weil der Masseneinsatz sonst zu neuen Umweltproblemen führt.
In Wissensgesellschaften sind Skalierung und Effizienzsteigerungen im Bereich Computing und Energiegewinnung, -umwandelung, -speicherung, und -übertragung von besonderer Bedeutung. Nach dem BioCrisis-Desaster beauftragten die technikaffinen WCG-Funktionäre Pensatore mit einer weniger gefährlichen Möglichkeit, gesamtgesellschaftliche Verbesserungen zu finden.<!-- Neben Supraleitern enthielt ihre Liste auch Spintronik, Photonik, Quantum Computing, Hyperentanglement, sowie der Einsatz von höherwertiger Logik.-->
Pensatore: "Avatara, wie würdest du Supraleiter herstellen?"
: "Da es keine einheitliche Theorie zur Hervorsage von Supraleitern gibt, wäre es naheliegend, einen Trial-and-Error/Bruteforce-Ansatz mit möglichst vielen automatisierten Experimentallaboren zu verfolgen. Je mehr Labore zur Verfügung stehen, desto mehr Varianten können in einer Zeiteinheit getestet werden. Varianten seien Materialien sowohl unter Normalbedingungen als auch unter [[#Conditional_materials|Nichtnormalebedingungen]]. Letztgenannte wären insbesondere DDMP, die zusätzlich unter unterschiedlichen Bedingungen getestet werden: Temperatur, Druck, Zugkräfte, [https://www.mpg.de/9942583/supraleitung-fulleren-lichtinduziert Licht] und Stromdichte. Das ist quasi das [[wp:de:Infinite-Monkey-Theorem|Infinite-Monkey-Theorem]], das aber mit einem systemischen Testen umgesetzt wird. Materialwissenschaftler könnte weiterhin Materialien und Wertebereiche vorschlagen, also diese Experimente priorisieren, von denen sie glauben, dass sie am ehesten zum Erfolg führen. -- Man könnte auch versuchen, den gewünschten supraleitenden Zustand in bekannten ''Basismaterialien'' zu simulieren und von dort aus immer neue Varianten virtuell und dann real zu testen, die den gewünschten Zielbedingungen am nächsten kommen."

===Wireless mid-range taser===
The WCG weapon manufactures discontinued VDG pistols in favor of compressed graphite powder based tasers. The conducting graphite gets synthesized in the post-firing phase to ready the next round.
===Electrolaser===
The WCG experimented with [[wp:Electrolaser|electrolasers]] to secure facilities against lightning strikes. A laser-induced plasma channel takes the lightning to the ground at a secure place.
This technology cannot be used for normal hand-held weapons as both start and end point are at danger and the usage depends on the weather. Also, creating a laser-induced plasma channel require huge amount of energy in the first place.
'''Lightning thrower'''
At GV the rebels created a mech with two LIPC fire modes. In both cases the mech functions as a mobile relay station.
* GV fusion reactor can be used to power the mech's LIPC and the additionally applied current.
* In the second mode, the mech creates two LIPC to first trigger a lightning strike and then reroutes the energy with a second LIPC to enemy forces.
===Plasma weapon===
The accelerating plasma bolt rests in a graphene-coated bubble that is self propelling due to a plasma jet. The bubble is magnetized causing electrons to be attracted and fueling a contraction mechanism. The positive charged protons are repelled and can escape only through one opening. When the bolt collapses on contact it causes shock, burn, and blast damage.

[Merge with Summary page.]


A biocracy can be seen as an expert society or technocracy but it doesn't ignore social demands since every citizen is taken into account. It's by citizens for citizens.
Each human in more or less specialized due to his profession. So it happens that in specific discussions, there are always people lacking the specific background information. In theory it's possible to acquire the information but jobs with high amount of working hours prevent that from happening in real life. Free time is more likely spend on social activities, fitness and entertainment.
 
Through the interconnection of minds and help from the Gaia AI, the decision making is also direct democratic.

Each human in more or less specialized due to his profession. So it happens that in specific discussions, there are always people lacking the specific background information. In theory it's possible to acquire the information but de facto jobs with high amount of working hours prevent that from happening. Free time is more likely spend on social activities, fitness and entertainment.
Democracy shouldn't be given up, it should be upgraded.


OCs on the other hand, have more free time and can acquire expertise almost in an instant. They are like walking libraries of specific Wikipedia pages and share these in an instant. Gaia separates facts from bias before compressing, caching and forwarding the information. That way, over time more and more purified knowledge is available for everyone. Neurological repairs and enhancement ensure the IQ and mental fitness required for complex information even up to the old age. Everyone can become an expert in any field.

===Time travel===
While "traveling forward in time" equals to "just wait in hibernation" or fly nearly at the speed of light going back in time doesn't seem possible.
* If there is only one possible present traveling back in time would require so much energy to undo all kind of movement and processes of all objects in the universe. Energy-wise it is not possible. And some processes are simply [[wp:Irreversible_process|irreversible]].
** If there is a multiverse then infinite possibilities and therefore infinite timelines exist. The smallest change has an effect. It would mean that you cannot control where you jump to nor can you get back into the original timeline.
* Furthermore the location and time of the out point cannot be precisely calculated - if at all - as the planet is in unknown motion made up by it's own spin motion, orbiting the sun, orbiting in the galaxy core, orbiting in the cluster core, moving within the filament. The outpoint might be a massive plantar or stellar object or in the depth of galactic voids resulting in death of the traveler.
