polis-citizenship

This chapter is a glossary providing detailed definitions of technical, scientific, and sociopolitical terms used throughout Greg Egan's 'Diaspora.' It explains concepts related to physics, computer science, and the nature of consciousness in the novel's universe, such as the classification of particles, the structure of virtual societies called polises, and the theoretical framework of Kozuch Theory. The glossary serves as a foundational reference to understand the novel's complex speculative setting and its exploration of identity, technology, and physics.
