Innovation Levels [Degrees of Innovation]

There are six Innovation Levels affecting technology. The most conventional is Mods and Homemades of Today. This level simply presents the kinds of tech used today. The most unconventional level is Redefining the Limits, an area that spans both the real and the abstract at the highest degree of human thinking.

The Modifications and Homemade Water Guns of Today

The conventional mods and homemades that are currently widely accepted and promoted. Modern homemades tend to be rather "2D-esque" and need major improvements in an age where Decisive Unconventionality and abstract ideas trump Fatal Conventionality and physical power.

Tips for customizing and further improving the tech available today.

Inventing the Modifications and Building the Homemades of Tomorrow

This is the most advanced level of Physical Innovation. As new guns come out, you will have a chance to create your own new mods. Here, you are also no longer building conventional homemades with conventional classifications and design shapes. This is the realm of the Next Revolution [N-REV] water guns, water cannons, water balloon launchers, hybrids, tribrids, etc. The possibilities of "3D-esque" unconventional designs are practically endless!

Limits of Innovation

Like in the Tactical Theory, the Technical Theory is regulated by Natural and User-Defined Limits. Limits here have a much stronger effect as well.

Conforming to the Limits

The vast majority of users currently mod and build within the framework of the current limits, regardless of whether they are natural or user-defined. Not only are most accepted limits user-defined, but most users don't even build their guns for actual use in battle! This has earned homemades in particular a reputation for being impractical, costly, and dangerous.

Redefining the Limits

When you change the reputation and purpose of tech, you may directly change the Natural Limits as well. A combination of Decisive Unconventionality, Specialization of Sidearms, and the Ladder of Innovation can help you first breech the limits, then reset them on your own terms!
