TL:28-30

TL:28-30 is the penultimate TL Epoch, in which Transcendent sophont species finish mapping out the galaxy, begin exploring other universes, and begin a drive to achieve the Singularity.

• It is often called the Trans-galactic Epoch because the Transdimensional Drive is a key defining technology of the epoch.

Alternate Nomenclature for this Technological Epoch

Terran historians have many names for this TL bracket including:

• TL-28 Portal Age: TBD
• TL-29 Reality Engineering Age: TBD
• TL-30 Transdimensional Age: TBD

Hallmark Technology-1: Reality Engineering Technology

• REALITY ENGINEERING TL-28: The ability to manipulate matter (at all scales from the sub-atomic to the macro) without physical interaction through detailed choices in the many branches of potential reality: the reality engineer selects potential matter motions and interactions to accomplish the desired results. Reality engineering is one possible prerequisite to many large scale physical constructs.
  • Not-Foam Manipulation TL-28. The ability to conjure the existence of matter and energy in structured quantities from the elementary quantum froth of the universe.

Hallmark Technology-2: TBD-2

Representative Sophont Species

The Kursae are widely conjected to have achieved this sort of technology.
