Does anyone have any idea what these values really mean?

The explanation in T5 Core Rules is vague to the point of being useless.

The only one I've been able to figure something for is Symbols. as TL + Flux means, to my interpretation, this is the educational process for the world. The base value of TL + 0 means the general level of understanding and educational standards for technology (i.e. what you largely use symbols for) is equal to the TL.

When Symbols is less than TL, the general populace has a less than average understanding of the Technology around them. In this case, at -5, the average citizen of Efate has a terrible understanding of the advanced technology the world produces.

the average citizen of Efate has a terrible understanding of the advanced technology the world produces.

the average citizen will always be behind the tech curve. can you explain exactly how a fission reactor works? how an airplane wing creates lift? how a cell tower processes incoming and outgoing calls? does a cpu with 1G of registers mean anything to the average person? and while all that's just tech 8, I'd bet most citizens of efate couldn't tell you either.

Homogeneity 4 means the society isn't homogenous. Lots of subgroups. Possibly also socially unstable.

Acceptance is high - very high. They are positively xenophillic. Can't get much higher.

Strangeness is low; it runs 0-A, a 1 means a few local customs, but generally not going to be too alien to "interstellar culture".

Symbols - it would imply roughyly modern types of symbology.

Yes... :coffeesip:

I was working on an easier understanding of the cultural extension today. Left my notes on some old-fashioned mk.I notebook paper yesterday, but can type them in tomorrow.

Off the top of my head:

• Homogeneity = Homegeneity (Uniformity - K'kree) vs. Heterogeneity (Diversity - Hiver) (Pop-based stat) (More population = more diversity)
• Acceptance = Monoculturalism (Intolerance - Xenophobia - K'kree) vs. Multiculturalism (Tolerance - Xenophilia - Hiver) (Pop-based stat) (More population = more multiculturalism)
• Strangeness = Divergence from Interstellar Norms (Degree of Individualized Societal Cultural Identity = Strength or Confidence in Cultural Identity) (Flux-based stat) (Imperial Humaniti vs. Droyne)
• Symbols = Specialization (Specialized Abstraction = Zhodani) vs. Generalization (Figurative Literalism - Solomani) (Sort of the Sapir-Whorf of culture) (TL-based stat: More TL = More abstraction)

Hope that makes sense.

Was brainstorming definitions and examples to use in a future magazine article.

Was really playing with opposed values and playing the values in a weighted formula.

Came up with a numerical value indicating hostility or agreeability.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Concerning symbols, these two brief threads talked about it some time ago, and are rather interesting:
