After a brief moment of expressing their joy, the mother and daughter returned to reality, aware of the varying eyes fixed upon them. The mother's face flushed with embarrassment, due to realizing her impulsive and insensitive display in the presence of a crowd. Her nerves became tense, and she glanced up at the aristocrats. However, as she noticed their indifferent demeanor, she let out a sigh of relief and settled back into her seat, still holding her daughter.
With that, the assessment process continued, and the next child, numeral beacon #2 drifted onto the podium for his primeval analysis.
(By the way, Aunt, what distinguishes a normal source from a distinctive source? What makes a source of distinction special? And why do they differ in significance? How does the synergy and intricacies between them work?) All of a sudden, Void bombarded his aunt with a plethora of questions.
(Whoa, whoa, whoa. My prince, slow down a bit. Even if you didn't ask, I would have clarified it nonetheless.) Sarah shushed Void and sighed in exasperation at his childlike curiosity.
(If it weren't for the fact that this noble lady slightly distorted the laws and erected a layer of enclosure around our seat, your inappropriate behavior would have drawn attention to us,) Sarah reprimanded him in a slightly helpless voice.
("But, Aunt, I just want to learn more about the world and diligently accumulate knowledge in order to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances that might occur in the future,) Void voiced out in a slightly shaky tone. His words indicated the injustice he felt due to her reprimand.
Upon hearing his wounded tone, Sarah's heart melted, and she blamed herself for not considering his innocent feelings. She lovingly hugged his small frame to her ample bosom, which was partially obscured by the grey cloak, and consoled him in a caring tone. (I'm sorry, my prince. Please forgive your aunt for her insensitive words. From now on, I'll impart you with all the wisdom I can without attracting the negative backlash of code particles, okay.)
(Mom, he is obviously pretending and trying to take advantage of the situation,) Sora uttered in a somewhat angry tone, while not forgetting to sneer at his pretense.
Void, detecting slight anger in her vocalization, contradictory to her usual sarcasm, raised his eyebrows in amazement and left the comforting embrace of his aunt. While doubtfully posing a query to Sora, (Did I do something? Or are you jealous that I occupied your mother's bosom?)
(Both, hmph!) Sora responded in a huff and tilted her head in a pout.
(Well, anyway, as for the question you inquired about, my prince, why don't I describe that in accordance with the assessment results on the ether screen?) Sarah diffused the awkwardness in the air and asked.
(Alright, I also want to understand the notion behind the abstract description shown on the ether screen,) Void nodded in agreement.
(First, let's start with Code Attunement. As the name implies, it is the evaluation of an individual's synchronization with the material code. The displayed percentage indicates how much in sync and harmony one's existence is with the fundamentality of the cosmos. It also determines an individual's chances of accumulating code theorization and the capacity to process them in one's core being - merging with one's natural talent and mutating them into one's own biological formulas. When a person's destined requirements are met, the installed biological formulas constitutes as a catalyst for source formulation. An individual's Code Attunement is fixed from birth and it is believed to be extremely difficult to further increase their synchronization with the material code. Therefore, it is often said that a user's Code Attunement decides their success in material immersion. Since the material code is the conduit for a user's existential evolution, it often regulates the progress of a user's growth rate in their evolution and the arduous breakthrough in their conceptual path {destiny course}.
Accordingly, the second one, analysis of Source Formation depends on the aforementioned evaluation of an individual's Code Attunement percentage. Every life form is engrained with at least 1% synchronization with the material code, which is their life force that animates the living beings. However, this meager sync alone is insufficient for them to accumulate code theorization and integrate it with their core being. That's where the ability users come into play. These individuals transcend the existing norm and are born with greater harmony and metaphysical alignment towards the Fundamentality - the material code. In doing so, they bind themselves to the fabric of cause and effect in the ever-changing universal flow.
Anyhow, the accumulation of code theorization begins when an individual's code Attunement exceeds 1% sync. From there, those with 2% > 5% could be said to be almost impossible to formulate a source, and those with 10% > 19% could barely formulate a source at some point in their lifetime. As for those with 20% > 40% Attunement, these people are almost guaranteed to formulate a source by the age of 10 - although it depends on their ratio of synchronization. On the other hand, those with a higher ratio than 40% could be referred to as the gems of generational ability users. Each percentage of Attunement thereafter counts and typically determines an ability user's position in material immersion. Lastly, just for reference but there is one way for ability users to raise their synchronization with material code ~ Euphonium.
Regarding the third one, this takes us back to your questions about normal and distinction source. First of all, Void, do you know what a source is?) Sarah paused the explanation and asked.
To that, Void shook his head and stared at her for further clarification.
(The source is a concept that depicts a user's principle of existence, akin to a template shaping the destiny course of an individual or a group of beings. The biological formulas which mutate from natural talent and accumulation of personalized code theorization are the catalyst for one's concept or source, as you may know it. Those with a normal source don't have a predetermined concept that regulates their future path, nor do they have an inherent gift that separates them from other ability users. This renders them neutral entities that aren't aligned to a set aspect. On the other hand, those with a distinctive source are the ones bestowed with inherent gifts. It could be a bloodline Genesis, or a special Constitution, etc. These blessings integrate into biological formulas and formulate a source.
Well, For simplicity, you can just think of it as a cultivation or mana art where your abilities originate from. at least for now.
Furthermore, one's neutral concept or predetermined concept isn't permanent. If one could experience 'Euphonium' by meeting certain criteria or diverse factors playing a part, the ability users could form an original connection to the material code and re-accumulate the code theorization from scratch. They could then mutate them into a biological formula that triggers the transformation of their existing source in proportional to the newly developed/nascent concept. This could occur through diverse circumstances such as life&death realization, defying their own fate, etc., or a fundamental modification of their pre-formulated concept/source.
This is the primary understanding of a source, but this is all I can divulge for now without touching upon the deep mysteries in 'Taboos'. However, you should be thankful that you have an aunt who could pamper you so much. If you were just an ordinary ability user, you wouldn't be privy to this information until you achieve mega evolution,) Sarah concluded the clarification and playfully remarked.
Void ignored her narcissistic remark and went into deep thought. After a while, he came back and asked, (What about the uniqueness and spiritual aptitude?)
(Those two... Hmm, well, for now, let me give a brief description of them:
The uniqueness is simply put, the unique/bonus aspects of one's existence. It could be individuality developed through growth and experience or an inborn trait in correspondence to one's concept. This uniqueness has a chance to coordinate with the source and later evolve into an awakened classification that functions as a tablet for the user's true abilities and skills.
Lastly, the spiritual aptitude assesses the ratio of accommodation towards astral spirits and entering a contract with them. 💯💯💯
