| + | Not a true formula, since it is in part intuitive. But there are two basic principles to the derivation of implants' required [[Abilities]] that are empirically observable: Prevalence and Repetition. The third principle requires the understanding of how the developers related the individual [[Skills]] to the abilities, and that requires rote learning or intuition. Some of them are easy enough. There is usually a clue in what the Dependencies are. Everyone knows, all the Nanoskills are 80% Intelligence. So Nanoskills are always Intelligence. Now we apply Prevalence. A Shining cluster of a Nanoskill will prevail over an | ||
