Hu to Hx




Category: Subversives Hu Earth Liberation Army - HELA

human supremicist sect notorious for terrorist bombing in the Sol System and a number of other lesser inner sphere worlds, that reached a peak in 6914.

Most of the group was caught and its members re-educated by the great hyperturing anti-terrorist Jarq Ka Mu86. A faction of HELA is still active in the inner Perseus Arm, where they have given up terrorism and are developing bioist religions instead.

Category: Subversives huela (HUman Earth Liberation Army)

human supremicist sect notorious for several terrorist bombing in the Sol System and a number of other lesser inner sphere worlds, that reached a peak in 6914. Most of the group was caught and its members re-educated by the hyperturing Jarq Ka Mu86. A faction of Huela is still active in the inner Perseus Arm, where they have given up terrorism and adopted locally mainstream bioist religions instead.





Category: Sophont race Humans
The term "human" - or hu - is generally applied to terragen near-baseline or mildly tweaked S < 1 hominid (specifically Homo sapiens and related species) organics with moderate or no cyborgisation. At one time the human race was the dominant life-form on Earth and in the Solar System, but by the Empires era they had long since been supplanted by hyperturing AIs. All hu are bipedal mammals. Both males and females of the species average somewhat less than 2 m in height and weigh approximately 75 kg in Earth standard environments. Generally, hu is divided into (1) Baselines/Near-Baselines (non-augmented or enhanced), (2) Superiors (su), (3) Tweaks (adapted to various environments), (4) Cyborgs (generally of < 50% bionics) and [5] Bioborgs



Category: Toposophy human-equivalence

A threshold level of ability or competence in one or more domains which, if achieved, allows an ai, alife, or aioid to develop a human personality, understand human concepts and do work as good as a human in that doman.  The Metasoft and TRHN term "turingrade" is more often used, despite its etymological ambiguity

Category: Biotech Human Genome Project

early information age international research program; one of the most ambitious projects of its time; had the goal of gathering a resource of genomic maps and DNA sequence

Provided detailed information about the structure, organization, and characteristics of the DNA of humans and other animals. The project was instrumental in the later work of the bio-hackers, biopunks, ribophunks and tweakers of the middle information age

Category: Cultures and Subcultures Human Liberation

Generic term that encompasses a number of generally messianic sapient human factions, philosophies and religions that seek to overthrow ai and reinstate hu as lord of creation.

They range from harmless cranks to minor terrorist extremists and hate groups. Owing to their lack of toposophic development they cannot do much harm, and are easily subverted. It is generally acknowledged that the only reason they are allowed by regional hyperturing administrators to exist is to contribute to the memetic rule of the sephirotics

Category: Esotericism Human Potential Movement

Information to Interplanetary Age umbrella movement for a number of genuine and bogus therapeutic techniques .

These involved either or both individual and group practices, and used psychoanalytical, mental, meditation, and/or physical techniques, to help individuals develop emotionally and advance spiritually. By the 2200s the original intention was long lost and the whole thing replaced by a various factionalisted cults, some harmless, some authoritarian. (see also New Age)



category: Philosophy human supremicism

a memetic attractor, an extremist philosophical or ideological form of anthropism, which asserts that hu has dominion over all other forms of sentience, including sub-sophonts, splices, provolves, ai, and aliens.

Comes in a great many different varieties, from secular hi-tech asimovists to lo-tech anti-ai ludds to fundamentalist monotheistic religious groups. Contrary to popular stereotypes, most human supremacists abhor violence, and emphasise that non-hu sentients are always to be treated with kindness and politeness. Unfortunately, the many small radical hate groups affiliated with this attractor give liberal human supremacists a bad name




Category: Splice humanimal

an animal provolved by means of human genome, a neospecies2 or splice1


(contra rianth)



Category: Subversives Humanity First!

Interplanetary period anti-ai reactionary activist group, later religion


Originally "New Humanity First!", this was an early radical anti-ai baseline human supremicist political group which followed anti-ai agitators and demagogues during the early interplanetary period; later revived as a religion during the late 4th century, worshipping individuals like The Blessed Brant Yin and S. Truman Horst (of original "Humanity First!" fame), and advocate severing all ties with ai and vecs. Some also distrusted dryware-augmentated cyborgs, cionsidering them AI sympathisers. While most of this organization restricted itself to occasional spamming and proslytising, more radical elements attacked humans they saw as ai "lackeys" or destroyed their property. Their few attempts on vecs and hyperturings are mostly ineffectual. The organisation was infiltrated and subverted by the Lunar admistration ai DF-23400 in 402, and disappeared soon after.
