Appendix
Atomically Precise Manufactory: a class of fully automated machine that precisely aligns atoms to build anything that can be built with atoms.
ArchMage : The Original Mage, Shelby
Blood Nanites : Produced by the embedded SoulStone NanoAtomically Precise Manufactory (NanoAPM). Variable control is by the Daemon. Control range from the SoulStone is very limited...a few yards at most. (the size of a dragon).
They are the power in the blood, thus they can build anything that CAN be built...within that range limitation.
It is hardwired for a few functions, mostly medical.
California Mega Flood(1861-62)
Daemon are exceedingly rare and are only formed when linking to a de-linked SoulStone OR when a Dragon Tear DNA link is initially established to a mind with a pre-existing ego-fracture due to a prior near death experience. The Daemon is a separate specialized mind optimized to interface with the Dragon Tears AND sublimate a SoulStone.
Dragon Lady: ....Kamiko Akiyama:> Means Heavenly/Divine Child : owner of the MotherMatrix.
Dragon Tears: are small (about the size of a pigeon egg) teardrop shaped crystal structures composed of a Structural Smoke
Embedded in each tear is a tiny core which contains all the molecular electronics needed for radio com, quantum entanglement com. neuro-com., the non-sentient artificial intelligence and a structural smoke forge ,among other functions.
The core is permanently attached to a chain which is a non invasive inductive neuro-link antenna worn around the neck.
Each tear is part of a widely distributed, massively parallel, highly redundant network composed of all other tears, each with a unique network address. Each dragon tear is one time DNA crypto locked to a user. Once linked it can never be changed or used by anyone else.
Forge: shorthand for atomically precise fabricators. Machines that builds stuff in which every atom is precisely where it needs to be.
Fabricator: shorthand for a particular limited Forge. It can build Structural Smoke and specific other things.
Grubship: smallest kinship
Great Mississippi Flood of 1927
Immortality : (and perfect health) blood nanites repair the host organism. Death is unusual. Typically by violence.
Invoker : human who uses Structural Smoke tech but who is NOT possessed of a Daemon.
KinShip: manned SmokeShip. A LiveAboard
Mage: A human who is possessed of a Daemon
Matriarch Lectures: a series of talks that Kamiko Akiyama gave at various times on various topics.
The MotherMatrix : a structure of carbyne constructed in the form of a concentric double spheroid. The interior spheroid is a sphere, the exterior one is oblate: The space between the ‘walls’ is used to park kin-ships or barges. The equatorial plane is reserved for the barges. The internal Sphere is full of Structural Smoke (a.k.a. Utility Fog), The ‘mouths’ projecting thru the sphere wall form balconies. The lower one third of the southern hemisphere is full of fresh water. The northern pole is capped by a structure housing Dragon Force Central.
New Madrid MegaQuake 1811-1812
Non-Statistical Fusion Reactions in Atomic Scale Accelerators
OmniForge: the most powerful of the Forges. An unlimited Atomically Precise Fabricator. It can build anything that CAN be built using atoms that it can be programmed to build.
Parallel Universes: (see multiverse) Analogous to skins of an onion, or pages in a book. Cross over from one water-world to another is via GateWay Portals installed at the magnetic poles of the planet.
SmokeShip: ship made from Structural Smoke. Components other than just the SSmoke are many times needed, such as may be grown by a Omni-Forge or Fabricator bought at HomeDepot or cut down in a forest.
Smoke Forge : Capable of taking feedstock and transforming it into structural smoke. The Core SSForge almost microscopic and can be embedded in anything. The core is ‘stackable’ and thus the Smoke Forge is scaleable.
Portal : (see parallel universe, multiverse, elves) transuniversal gates between parallel universes.
SoulStone : (see memory diamond) a memory crystal with the associated molecular circuitry needed to generate and control blood-nanites. The C12 and C13 comprising the synthetically grown diamonds are used to store digitally encoded data. The C12 is one state, the C13 atom is the other.
SoulStones are incredibly dense memory crystals that are all but eternal. They are only produced by CloudMommas. They CAN be transferred to another user after the death of a user. A new, unique daemon must be generated in the new user.
Utility Fog : also known as UFog. or Structural Smoke.
