Sixth Secret

Many have compared the Sixth Secret to the Second in terms of its sheer versatility; the key to the secrets of nanotechnology where the Second Secret was the key to life. As with the Second Secret however, the comparison isn’t quite that simple. The Sixth Secret allows for the creation of nanotechnology at a similar level to previous Practiced designs, like Prologue. The problem with the comparison to the Second Secret is that this nanotechnology must be properly programmed to serve its function.

With the right expertise, this allows for the creation of reconfigurable ‘smart’ matter, construction swarms, and many other things. Humanity is currently experimenting with how far this technology can also interface with biological structures, partially as a result of Shiplord construction material. This is hoped to give a way to enhance the basic human form to the point that they’re capable of effectively fighting the more dangerous Shiplord fleet components. It’s still in the earliest stages, but several groups are intently focused on what it could do.

Another major part of this Secret has been the total obliteration of Moore’s law. This led to an explosion of integrated virtual assistant and prediction systems, which promise to completely change humanity as a culture. No one is quite sure why humanity discovered this Secret after the Second, but most are too busy working out what they can do with it to look into that.
