The '''Rassilon Imprimatur''' was ostensibly a part of a [[Time Lord]]'s biology. Much of the purpose of the Rassilon Imprimatur was stated by the [[Sixth Doctor]], who admitted to [[Jamie McCrimmon]] that none of the description the Doctor gave to him was strictly true; the Doctor said what he did because he knew the [[Sontaran]] [[Stike]] was in the vicinity. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'')
The '''Rassilon Imprimatur''' was a code engineered by [[Rassilon]] into [[Time Lord]] [[biodata]]. It was responsible for mapping Time Lords onto the [[Time Vortex|vortex]] as pure mathematics.


The Doctor claimed within earshot of Stike that the Rassilon Imprimatur was a "second trick up [the] sleeve" of [[Rassilon]]. He said that a [[time machine]] such as a [[TARDIS]] or the [[Kartz-Reimer module]] (which copied the technology of a TARDIS) had to be primed by the Rassilon Imprimatur, which the Doctor referred to as a symbiotic print in the physiology of a Time Lord, once the [[briode nebuliser]] absorbed it. The Doctor claimed that this made it into "a time machine that anyone can use". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors]]'')
With the Imprimatur, Time Lords could put themselves into different time states just by thinking about the right equations; at [[Time Lord Academy|the Academy]], trainee Time Lords used it to [[transmigration|transmigrate]] objects, though the [[Cardinal]]s said that abusing the Imprimatur in that way "played merry hell" with one's biodata. The [[Eighth Doctor]] used it to escape from [[prison]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book One (novel)|Interference]]'')


The Imprimatur mapped Time Lords onto the [[time vortex]] as [[pure mathematics]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book One]]'')
The [[Sixth Doctor]] claimed that the Rassilon Imprimatur was a symbiotic print in Time Lord physiology. [[Timeship]]s like [[TARDIS]]es and the [[Kartz-Reimer module]] needed to absorb the Rassilon Imprimatur through their [[briode nebuliser]] in order to prime them to allow anyone to use it. However, the Doctor lied about at least part of this description to trick the [[Sontaran]] [[Stike]], who was listening nearby. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'')
