toleranceA meta-meme which confers resistance to a wide variety of memes (and their sociotypes), without conferring meme-allergies. In its purest form, Tolerance allows its host to be repeatedly exposed to rival memes, even intolerant rivals, without active infection or meme-allergic reaction. Tolerance is a central co-meme in a wide variety of schemes, particularly "liberalism", and "democracy". Without it, a scheme will often become exo-toxic and confer meme-allergies on its hosts. Since schemes compete for finite belief-space, tolerance is not necessarily a virtue, but it has co-evolved in the ideosphere in much the same way as co-operation has evolved in biological ecosystems.
To Lerikb.3072. Edenese superbright philosopher, poet, playwright, knowledge miner, hedonicist, and fabulist
To Lerik wrote no less than three thousand separate works during the period from 3200-3650 a.t. (Interstellar Empires period). Ironically eir most influential opus, the "Velvet Series" of interactives, which became the basis for the teachings of the Orthodox Tolerikerian Church, were rejected by the author as "Practice Runs on the SimStage of Life", but most literary critics agree that this was said to annoy the Tolerikerians, since To Lerik has in several virchmails stated the "Velvet Series" was "the high point of my early and adolescent post rejuve phase". To Lerik, who seemed mildly bemused by the adulation around what most scholars agree was not in any way eir most subtle work (that honor belongs to On The Xarridin Way), repeated refused requests to be the Tolerikerians "First One". To Lerik was deeply shaken and disillusioned by the atrocities of the Version War, and renounced eir Edenese citizenship, resettling in Corona, where he was an eloquent spokesperson for the early ComEmp. Eir Late ComEmp period is widely acknowledged as his best. Following eir twenty-fifth rejuvenation in 5819, e lost interest in academics, ghedonics, and fabulism, and, deciding to devote emself to a life of contemplation, and migrated to the Patanjali Ring, Sophic League, where e entered nirvana in 5992. However, a clonecopy from eir eighteenth rejuvenation was restored in 8264 by the Friends of To Lerik, a neb hedonicist group. To Lerik and a small circle of friends and eternal disciples are still be found in the stately habitat of Xarridin, Corona System

Top Ten Thousand or "triple-T"a NoCoZo subscription service which offers information leading to the top ten thousand anything, including RL horror stories, VR beauties, most unique structures, most lethal event, most entertaining lethal event, etc. Company public relations literature indicates that there are some 106 researchers on duty at any one time, adding some 109 multi-rated records per shift. Amazingly, there have been no major scandals regarding this corporation except the rotten-fruit disagreement of rated and unrated entities. Triple-T was quietly bought out by the Galactic Information Bank some 2,500 years ago and fell under their access fee schedule.

totalrecallImplanted memories indistinguishable from the real thing. Even more difficult to distinguish from the real thing is tandomising with rl - one may travel as far as an orbital, then have a totalrecall of a trip to the surface, the two experiences being seamlessly combined. Totalrecalls and tandemrecalls are especially popular for regions where travel is forbidden, or for individuals who wish to experience a particularily hazardous adventure or sport, but for philosophical or financial reasons cannot afford to, or do not wish to, risk their physical body in the process

aliens to be discovered by terragenkind.
They seem to have been infected by the
terragen attitude of expansionism. Their language is almost as
impossible to comprehend by humans as their native environment is
hostile to terragen life, hence a pidgin version of the To'ul'ho'lo'ss
pidgin tongue has traditionally been used for communication.
