Tools of the era and the innovations in the story

“Technology” here includes techniques, protocols, and social systems—not just objects. The canon innovations are chosen because they reshape civilization’s constraints.

  • Medicine and vision states (Wenh)

  • Sanitation and invisible infrastructure (Benbhub)
