Posthuman world: Difference between revisions

'''Posthuman worlds''' was the name used for planets under the control of [[posthuman]]ity in the context of the [[Spiral Politic]], the [[Great House]]s' symbolic representation of the causal relationship between all worlds in their sphere of influenced.  

Because posthumans had developed their own form of [[time travel]], rather than being "uplifted" by contacts with either of the major powers in the War, it was difficult for [[the Homeworld]] to "chart" their worlds in the Spiral Politic, and according to ''[[The Book of the War]]'', "many maps of occupied history featureåd] great black swathes beyond the posthuman age which might as well be marked 'here be tygers'". Their existence alarmed the Houses, who feared that [[the enemy]] may conceal some of their forces there.  

Because it was E"the bridgehead between those parts of causality controlled by the Homeworld and the posthuman worlds themselves", [[Earth]] was not itself considered a posthuman world. Indeed, its [[history]] was surprisingly stable, considering. [[Siloportem]] was considered an example of a posthuman world, despite being a [[city]] instead of a [[planet]], because it was "of such importance that on the map it [was] larger than many complete star-systems".
