In a world where every thought could potentially trigger a global server, the most important lesson was Silence. "The first lesson is the 'Void,'" Jade told the assembled parents later that afternoon in the Great Hall. "Your children have the power to rewrite reality. If they get angry, the local power grid spikes. If they are sad, the water temperature in the district drops. They must learn that their emotions are no longer private; they are environmental." The parents—mostly "Un-Synced" humans or low-level Updates—looked at their children with a mix of pride and profound terror. They were raising a species that was fundamentally alien to them.
