Correspondence
|
The speciality Sphere of the Virtual Adepts, and the first one that Furio has Mastered. 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.

Entropy
|
This Codebase grants a willworker access to powers over chaos, order, random chance, and statistical inevitability. If he were ever to study Entropy, Furio would use a random number generator program to help him crystallize variables into the patterns he requires. By locking the appropriate variables into place within his mind, Furio would become able to assert those variables upon the universe, granting himself fortune, cursing others with bad luck, reinforcing order, or promoting chaos.
|
Forces
|
Energy in all its forms is the purview of this Codebase. If he were ever to study Forces, Furio would make use of a holographic emitter to help him shape, contain, and alter patterns of energy. By utilizing visible light as a base, he would become able to generate any number of superquantum forms of energy. Electricity, heat, magnetism, gravity, and even interactions of nuclear forces become possible for a willworker studied in Forces Code.

Life
|
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 has gained Adept-level access to Life Code, enabling him to perform complex operations on vertebrate organisms. He can heal or harm them, or augment their performance as easily as he does his own.

Matter
|
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.
|
Mind
|
Conscious thought and emotion are governed by the Mind Codebase. Furio utilizes parallexin, a tailored smart drug, to unlock higher forms of thought. When inhaled in its vapor state, parallexin increases neural conductivity and accelerates active cognition, allowing thoughts to be formed in ways that mimic psychic phenomena. Furio's access to Mind Code is currently rudimentary, but even his baseline knowledge allows him to maximize his cognitive capabilities and form crude defenses against mental intrusion. True masters of Mind Code are capable of forging entirely new consciousness, the source of true AI.

Prime
|
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.

Dimension
|
One of the more esoteric Codebases, Dimension Code grants access to the Nearband beyond the Divide that separates the Gaiasphere from the rest of the universe. It also allows interaction with the xenophorm entities that are native to those myriad subdimensions. Having begun the study of Dimension Code, Furio makes use of a xenodimensional oscillation device. This hypertech unit, based on a modified smart ring, accepts trinary instructions to manipulate the Divide in a variety of ways. As he learns more complex Dimension algorithms, Furio will learn how to attract xenophorms and communicate with them, and eventually make the passage through the Divide into the Nearband and beyond.
|
Time
|
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.
