<p>True Name continued, “The second part of my comparison was regarding the sensation of not having the ability to fork or skew, which, as appears to be the case for both of our Systems, is no longer much of a factor. When one did not have enough reputation to fork, that intent felt less real, as though one could not possibly fork, as though it was an impossible act. What was the experience of not being able to skew any faster?”</p>
|

<p>There was another long moment of thought before the secondracer nodded. “Again, it has been a long time since I have experienced that sort of limitation, but yes. One simply could not remember skewing any faster. There is still an effective upper limit on skew, but very few consciousness-bearing entities find skew above plus eight to plus ten to be comfortable, and in practice, few go above skew plus five.”</p>

<p>Why Ask Questions frowned. “Uncomfortable how?”</p>
|

<p>“The, <em>lu</em>…level of interaction decreases as one’s skew increases. Above plus one, sound does not transmit to common time and touch is impossible. Above plus five, movement becomes difficult and one feels…<em>baenåt</em>…restrained, perhaps. Movement takes effort. The effort required to move slows one down to where positive skew is no longer effective.”</p>

<p>The two Odists exchanged a look, and a brief glance at Codrin showed the writer looking more intently at them than at Iska.</p>
|
||||
<p>“I would like to move on to a related question,” True Name said, at which Codrin wrote something down on eir pad.</p>
|

<p>Tycho made a note to talk to em after, find out what had intrigued em about the Odists’ reaction.</p>

<p>Tycho watched the exchange with mounting confusion before making note of yet another thing to ask Codrin about over break.</p>
