| The speciality Sphere of the Virtual Adepts, and the first one that Furio has studied to Adept level. His focus is a smartphone modified with a penta-core trinary array. This device allows him to work the highly complex hypermathematical computations necessary to control space, dimension, and geometry. Like anything else in the universe, location is a matter of information. All points in space have a value relative to one another, which is equal to one. This is the Correspondence Point, the rational constant that enables a willworker with understanding of Correspondence to view other places, manipulate things at distance, change their own location, and modify the parameters of geometry. | | The speciality Sphere of the Virtual Adepts, and the first one that Furio has studied to Adept level.

| Study and manipulation of living organics is covered by this highly esoteric Codebase. To focus on Life Code, Furio utilizes a breed of nanomech that he designed himself. These machines, each one no larger than a cell's nucleus, form a reactive network within a living organism. Given direction through trinary computer instructions, a nanomech field can make edits to a living organism at the subgenetic level, literally rewriting physiology on the fly. Furio's access to Life Code is currently remedial, and he lacks the understanding required to alter complex organisms. He is currently limited to working with nonvertebrate life and his own biology. | | Study and manipulation of living organics is covered by this highly esoteric Codebase.

| Nonorganic material is expressed through Matter Code. Furio makes use of a holographic data prism to scan, study, and project alterations to material substances. Paired with a trinary device, he is able to sample a substance's atomic structure and make changes to it via quantum induction. As with his understanding of Life, Furio has only remedial access to Matter Code. But even this limited understanding allows him to change uniform substances. With addition of Prime Code, he is even able to transubstantiate new materials out of pure Currency. | | Nonorganic material is expressed through Matter Code.

True masters of Mind Code are capable of forging entirely new consciousness, the source of true AI. | | Conscious thought and emotion are governed by the Mind Codebase.

| This Codebase gives access to Currency itself--the Quintessence of the universe, the metaphysical essence that forms all things. It is the fundamental Fifth Force, simultaneously representing potential change and concrete existence. Furio utilizes physical currency to help him focus his mind on perceiving and directing Quintessence. Quintessence can fuel Code access directly, or it can be used in the creation of Devices--objects invested with Code of their own. Apps are single-use items, while Devices hold specific lines of Code. A Server even contains logic gates and subroutines to allow the unAwakened to use the Code they contain, while Mainframes can store Currency for later use. | | This Codebase gives access to Currency itself--the Quintessence of the universe, the metaphysical essence that forms all things.

| This demanding Codebase gives a willworker command over time itself. Just as all points in observable space coexist simultaneously, so too do all moments in time coexist simultaneously. This being the case, knowledge of Time Code allows a willworker to view other moments in time, either past or future, and to alter the way the motion of time is experienced. To access Time Code, Furio has designed a smartwatch with an isolinear tachyhedron, a crystalline structure that accumulates and emits tachyon particles, which can be used to manipulate individual points in time. | | This demanding Codebase gives a willworker command over time itself.

The Virtual Adepts are the newest Tradition, having defected from the Technocratic Union just over sixty years ago. As such, they still retain much of their Technocratic understanding, particularly when it comes to matters of the human soul. Though newer Virtual Adepts are beginning to accept the concept of the Avatar, there are many who still refer to it by its Technocratic term--the Genius. Furio in particular subscribes to this method. He has never actually seen his Avatar. For him, his higher self has taken the form of an enlightened intuition. A means of seeing the universe not with his eyes, but with his mind. When he undergoes Seekings to advance his Arete, he does not enter a dreamscape. Rather, he solves puzzles and riddles in the waking world. It is there, in the world he shares with every other human in the world, that he finds the answers to all his questions.
