Digital technology in this alternate universe is an integral aspect of life, manifesting in various devices and interwoven with spirituality and mysticism.
In this universe, computer hardware undergoes a unique evolution, incorporating elements of mysticism and spirituality alongside conventional digital engineering. Devices, including smartphones, tablet computers, and wearable technology, work on principles drawn from the convergence of magic and technology. This harmonious integration enables complex logical operations and advanced capabilities far beyond what would be possible in a purely mechanical or electronic system.
The evolution of digital devices in this universe progresses along lines similar to our own, beginning with the invention of bamboo computation sticks in ancient China. These sticks formed part of an analog computing system based on carved notches, marking a precursor to modern computing.
Progress continued throughout the Renaissance, as European and Arab scholars built upon Chinese technology using advancements in geometry and algebra. By the 18th and 19th centuries, computers had become primarily mechanical calculating devices, featuring elaborate gear, lever, and pulley mechanisms.
The mid-19th century witnessed a dramatically transformative event for computing with the invention of the vacuum tube. This technology allowed for the creation of smaller, more powerful and efficient digital electronic computers.
The shift from analog to digital computing gained momentum in 1946, with the MADAM I project. A collaborative endeavor between engineers and alchemists, the MADAM I project aimed to create a fully electronic computing device by merging the fields of physics, electronics, alchemy, and metaphysics. The outcome was an experimental machine that seamlessly fused magic with technology, facilitating complex logical operations and demonstrating the true potential of digital technology in this alternate universe.
In the digital realm of this universe, alchemy plays a critical role. The mystical science not only advanced the fields of electronic engineering and physics but also paved the way for advanced digital technologies to flourish. Alchemy has allowed this universe to push the boundaries of digital possibilities, intertwining the ethereal with the physical.
Advanced digital technologies pervade commerce and daily life in this universe, thanks largely to the revolutionary LytCred global payment system. LytCred operates as a decentralized, universally accepted digital currency, employing advanced technologies and a unique physical component. Utilizing specialized portable units with individual energy signatures, LytCred enables transactions and value transfers with striking ease and reliability. In turn, this system has a profound impact on commerce, with tradable assets constantly fluctuating based on market forces.
