Editing Accelerating Tech Level

[[File: Wiki Navy.png|right]]
The concept of the [[Accelerating Tech Level]] is a recognition that different societies conduct research at different rates and technological progress widely differs across [[Charted Space]].
* It is an intellectual concept regarding [[technology]].
 
== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
'''[[Tech Level]]s above 21 are the ''Accelerating Tech Level''s:''' each of them tends to be of shorter duration and each leads at an ever-accelerating pace to the next. The technologies addressed by [[TL]]s above 21 are frighteningly powerful and exceptionally susceptible to disaster. As a society progresses to each new Accelerating Tech Level, the focus shifts to a different [[technology]].

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
[[Sophontologist]]s have been studying the many different [[sophont]] [[species]] of [[Charted Space]] for thousands of [[year]]s, from the earliest [[Vilani]] studies to most recent studies in the time of the [[Third Imperium]].

As [[Information Technology]] grows in sophistication, it becomes easier to discover new knowledge, disseminate it throughout a society, and build new discoveries upon those that have previously been mastered. ''Accelerating Tech Level''s increase particularly more quickly for [[Ultra Societies]] ([[TL:19-27]]), who are conjectured to excel with a number of particularly effective communication technologies.

The classic text book examples for such comparative studies are the [[Kisthdra]] and the [[Kursae]].
