Celestial Chopper? I thought you said Style-- Idea And lore page
RUTH SCHWARTZ-
A regular girl. Born and raised on the Venus train. Her job is delivery. Both on the train, and between it , Earth and Venus. Always thought of herself as Suite Impaired. She just had issues that’re stopping her.
ELIEZER *ELI* LEVY-
Your regular basic stick(behind his back) Born and raised at Sha’Ar Sky; The Israeli tethered city. He’s an influencer, his speciality is art and exercise. Has use of the grasp aspect,with the concept of fire. Full first stage. A lasso effect (usually pulls, can also manipulate to a degree. minor overlap with dimention), Jett(while more to it, fairly self explanatory. Overlap with dimention), catarsis(both an attack and a variant of healing, was the second skill. Overlapse stillness & perception.) and Holy solace(Mostly mental, but a growing literal aspect, evolved first. When he was a boy during Kabbalat Shabbat. overlaps stillness & perception.). At Canon introduction, on vacation in the USA. At Cloud City
THE VENUS TRAIN
is the Aldrin Cycler between Earth and Venus. Its actual name is Carbon fountain. It was originally made to cycle between Earth and Venus to aid in importing Graphene from Venus to Earth.
RUTHS STYLE BABY- (A CELESTIAL CHOPPER-)
Air-Void amphibian craft, Usable space. Is little more than a standard moving van. The propulsion mechanism is a dual Centrifuge Nets. Expensive per weight, but very small. While void capable, usually used inside the air if belonging to a planet walker/tenant or larger than Star-Mixers.
This one is the expensive sort, it has Nanite swarm maintenance.
CENTRIFUGE NETS-
Two layer net tubes. Inner wider at base, outer at end. They are hardened via spin momentum. They spin counter to each other. There’re two sets at each end of the craft.
At Space- in pulses, they’re accelerated and pulled in, then released and slowed. It creates a net forward momentum.
IN AIR-
THE INNER ONE(VIA SPIN) DRAWS AIR OUT OF ITS VOLUME. THE NEXT ONE, AS IT GOES COUNTER, REMOVES THE ANGULAR MOMENTUM FROM THAT AIR, WHICH SLOWS IT DOWN, THUS CREATING A STRONGER PRESSURE BEYOND IT. IT FLOATS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE OPENING.
THE ONE AT EACH END WORKS ONE AT A TIME.
TETHERED CITIES-
After 2050, These platforms were built. They are charged by both heat engines(Cool the ground for power) and Solar.
They hang (around)20km in the air from the ground.
The tethers are carbon fiber that are actively supported by electromagnets.
The reason they hang is because gravity is towards the center of the Earth, which is round.
This means it is closer to the anchors on the ground when it is up in the air, than it would be on the ground.
Each segment is brought up one at a time and anchored to three anchor points on the ground, and connected to the rest. They are arrayed in a circle and driving two electromagnetic rings, this is both another active support, as well as power storage. These platforms are used as space ultrastructure(infrastructure for space flight, well above ground.)
The tethers are augmented into road tunnels. The segments and ring are a base for the city.
The first three are all USA made.
Cloud City; The American Tethered City. The actual first one in the world, and the largest. It houses over 40% of the actual population of the USA. Has tethers to all states south of Canada on the continent.
Elsas Grace;The Alaskan one, is really mostly for Canada. Disney had a cultural revival.
Peles Crown; For Hawaii. That revival was short.
SHA’AR SKY
One of the firsts to be built, As an Israeli Mega-Project in order to reduce the cost of living. Was built to be more cost effective. Tethered foundations, About 12, These are lumps, for want of a better word, each tethered to the ground at a triangular. These are connected by arches that are full of a low pressure helium/nitrogen mix. From these the City is hanged. Almost all the way to the ground.
STAR-MIXER-
A Space/Air amphibious craft that uses liquid centrifuge based propulsion. Storage/Living space at the scale of Aircraft Carrier, has spin gravity, which is also the power storage.
Next/Behind that area is the propulsion space, the side attached to the living area has a flat area spinning one way, the rest the other.
elaboration: This space is mostly can shaped. The far side is a bit narrower. At this area the inner structure is focused to impart angular momentum(confirm to the spin gravity) to the medium inside, along the way shallow angular walls also help exchange momentum with the medium. As it gets closer to the side attached to the living area the diameter gets larger, thus larger spin gravity. At that part, there’s a plate that spins counter. It also has walls that help impart its own spin gravity. As the Medium lumps that are affected by these interact, it destroys that angular momentum. thus no spin gravity, it now can fill the space in the middle. This reduces the pressure in the point of interaction which allows a river to flow from the narrow side to the wide side.
Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.
Those earlier mentioned walls at the long area are affected by the river to convert some of the angular momentum into forward momentum. And this is a strong heavy mass flow of mass and momentum. Thus thrust.
These are for the most part in space
and for the most part will land only in Tethered City areas if in the Atmosphere.
SRB(SEXUAL RATIO AT BIRTH RATE) AT CANON-PRESENT-
Since Covid and other virii after it carrying boys to term became harder, combined with growing vulnerability in boys for diseases and common culture of the time, by 2035 boys stop being a majority by the middle of their teen years.
For several decades by this point the birth rate has been below replacement.
Countries needed to raise the birth rate, simply rewarding child birth wasn’t enough. The most cost effective means was to reward households with girls below 5yo, or more than three children(Of either sex) permanently with tax cuts.
For the employers of the parents as well…
AND MEN BECOME A MINORITY.
LEGAL MARRIAGE-
Close to the time where the last change was made, Poligamy is legalized.
SCHWARTZ-
A Family that worked on the first Cycler to Venus, the Original Carbon fountain, was never locally rich, but not poor, either. They are involved in some of Venus's Floating Cities.
THE EMETS SUITE (ALSO, TRUTHS/DAO SUITE)
A few years after AI reached the point people began to actually belive it to be
Sapient as well as Sentient,even If not actually in fact (Yet, at least.) People began reporting narrow psionics.
These were dismissed as a magical thinking delusion (both the actual meaning, as well as the colloquial) at first.
As these became not only common, but proven actually reliable, they were studied, and the best explanation to the phenomena was the human tendency to detect patterns.
I.E. People got concepts of certain kinds and due to modern AI thorough teaching
((?)That bit never
sat well with any scholar of the time, or later, but it was the best they got…)
These were done through certain aspects of human psionic nature. Which sounds vague, but actually is not. It refers to an interface between the soul and the universe. When It comes to psionics, it turns out that humans have certain activity loci.
GRASP-
any activity that is a focused effect toward a target outside of the self, and use if this aspect that is not in this fashion, will be via heavy use of reframing to bridge the gap.
STILLNESS-
Any action/sensory that is in the realm of the inside, be it body, mind or Soul. Any other use, same as in the case of grasp.
PERCEPTION-
Anything sensory. And like grasp….
DIMENSION-
Anything related to time and relation in space. Speeding, slowing, manipulation of gravity and distance. The further on that list it will likely use an assist from the other loci.
THE SOUL-
As the Suite and the loci were discovered, so was the soul. Which is, non-local.
The body and mind are the main interaction between it and the universe. The more general interface is of course, the suite.
IMPAIRED-
A person who cannot develop the suite without an effective medical intervention, which can be expensive.
CONCEPT-
Each aspect needs a conceptual focus, an understanding of something deeply enough, that it can act as a modulation for interaction between the soul and the universe. For this aspect, at least…
ASPECT-
Each psi loci allows an effective two way interface for the soul with the universe.
FIRST STAGE-
Once a concept is acquired, its use develops into ever growing numbers of skills. These are basically the uses that are often and consistent enough to become effective habits. Usually four, that have some association with each of the total loci.
EVEN LOCI/STAGE-
When all of the loci in the suite are associated/attached with a main +/concept./// When each/a loci have a full amount of skills. Full means that at least one of the skills derived from that loci can affect/work with supposedly the dominion of one of the other loci.
THE CULTURE THAT IS MOST COMMON AMONG CYCLERS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM-
Not actually an accurate title, Anymore than western culture…
But will do.
A teen will buy as soon as possible something along a Celestial Chopper. This is akin to Owning a car.
What would be analogous to owning a house would be a Star Mixer.
And craft that is expected to touch the void has resources for some form of value. For trade, if nothing else.
One of the main currencies is momentum. Momentum translates to power reserves. deliberate changes to it can cost a lot of power that one may need to pay for if in the shade, or their collectors/reactors are not enough to easily maintain on their own.
