Also rep, regarding the chuubanite effect of /who/, I have some ideas but not sure which to implement.
Of course the core concept would be civilization but as a construct and being pretty malleable concept I had trouble deciding in how to implement it. So I think I've decided on what's closer to the original meaning of the word, thus "Civilization as a civilizing process", instead of a complex of culture, religion etc like how for example Huntington and Weber imagined it as.
So in effect one of /who/'s chuubanite effects is that it makes it easier for people that have a large enough concentration of it to become unknowingly susceptible to an idea or to unknowingly work towards a goal. However through chuubanite magic and catalognaut's abilities, this effect can become stronger. This relates to the thread in that sometimes the thread shares the same brain cells, and that the "civilizing process" sort of applies to the thread as a whole too as although it welcomes tourists and refugees one has to adopt some of the thread's behavior and rules (also ties into the sort of civic nationalism that would develop later in its history).
That's the passive ability. And for some active abilities, it's kinda a mess of different things that aren't really organized. So the chuubanite can also record sounds and videos, to represent sound posts in the thread. It won't be like film cameras since the method by which the information is recorded depends on the glyph and construction of the machine/mechanism playing or recording the chuubanite.
The chuuabnite is also more "stable", in that vitubium particles have a much lower rate of being naturally released and eliminated, thus having a longer shelf-life and a larger potential store of energy.
As for catalognauts, they are almost all winged people. Works kind of like my old proposal but they now have stronger bones and better stamina. Moreover, they are stronger in physical strength and possess a larger number of rod cells relative to normal humans. Basic abilities are chuubnite manipulation (basic abilities, heat, light, directional force), better perception of space and limited telepathy, two way between catalognauts and one way between non-catalognauts. Aside from that they also have better spatial perception and some ability so sense threats by telepathy when they are in places with a high concentration of ambient vitubium.
They are basically new types that can fly.
Chuubanite autists feel free to comment and give some feedback. And rep if you have other plans post them too.
