Well, there was a discussion that happened, was it on this very show a few months ago, talking about what would ultimately be the respawning mechanic and revisiting the original Death of a Spaceman post from way back. And so basically this lore post was, as Jared explained earlier, the glorified explanation of what this tech is and what's happening. And just so we could start to get an idea of how we could justify it, what our rule set was and stuff like that, and make sure that it lined up with the mechanics that design has been looking at implementing.

So high-level, regeneration is the technology by which someone can be bioprinted with all their memories and sense of self intact, which is why it's a little bit different than cloning, which is just recreating someone's genetic material without the same person being inside that. And then also we have the idea of the imprint, which is the way that your sense of self is being stored in this technology in the Ibrahim sphere. So that's really high level for some of the stuff that we're going to be discussing later today.
