Technology

Technology is the study of kuûnmê (machinery/tech) and the application of yôn (tools). In Hîsyêô, technology is the domain of Unonsî, the god of potentiality and invention.

Core Concepts

Technology is not seen as a force that happens to us, but as a set of levers we use to move the world.

The Philosophy of the Lever

The symbol of Hîsyêô technology is the lûcku (lever). A tool is defined by its ability to multiply force.

ôtsôtot Unonsî cûdo lûcku til xe li êo ôlê nucoto.Unonsî gives a lever to move the world.

This philosophy emphasizes user agency and repairability. A tool you cannot fix is a Shard (a form of control), not a true tool.

Computing & The Digital Weave

The digital world is viewed as a reflection of the Great Weave—a network of connection.
