The Book of the War (novel): Difference between revisions

Biodata is a record of how an individual consciousness fits into history - effectively serving as "time DNA" (in the words of R.B. Nevitz). Though Nevitz viewed it as nigh-impossible that biodata could be read, the Great Houses (largely due to how advanced their technology is) are able to read biodata (though they have a harder time reading future biodata than past biodata). Nevitz also postulated that only biological entities had biodata, but this is provably wrong.
