>>35509084Yeah.
Catalognauts are not a separate species. They're just enhanced individuals. People of various species who were born with a natural affinity to the Catalog and Conceptual Realm.
Like Mutants from Marvel, force sensitive individuals in Star Wars, and Psykers from 40K.
They are just like any sentient being and are mortal.
Only that they are literal living magical quanta conduits, walking flesh chuubanite.
So if you want to conscript every single catalognaut in your nation and raise them since birth, go ahead.
But that means you need to documentise every and all births down to the most remote village to screen them.
Other countries have different stance against empowered individuals. Some allow them freedom of career so it's not uncommon to see people with their oshis powers working in mundane jobs like entertainment or culinary if their abilities match up.
