The '''Rassilon Imprimatur''' was a [[bio-imprimatur]] engineered by [[Rassilon]] into [[Time Lord]] [[biodata]]. It was responsible for mapping Time Lords onto the [[Time Vortex|vortex]] as pure mathematics. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book One (novel)|Interference - Book One]]'') According to a nightmare the [[Fifth Doctor]] had, it was impossible to travel in a [[TARDIS]] without the Imprimatur.

With the Imprimatur, Time Lords could put themselves into different time states just by thinking about the right [[equation]]s; at [[Time Lord Academy|the Academy]], trainee Time Lords used it to [[transmigration|transmigrate]] objects, though the [[Lord Cardinal|Cardinals]] said that abusing the Imprimatur in that way "played merry hell" with one's biodata. The [[Eighth Doctor]] used it to escape from [[prison]].

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.
