Memetic Atmosphere: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

The '''Memetic Atmosphere''' is a psionically active gaseous medium that functions as both atmosphere and distributed cognitive network.

It is composed of **mnemonic nanospore clouds** suspended within a nitrogen–oxygen base, forming a living data layer that records and retransmits mental patterns.

In the [[Continuum Universes]], Memetic-class worlds are rare and closely monitored: they are not only habitable — they are *aware*.
