Knowledge is Power.

Spheres of Magickal Knowledge.

it's a part of 'Mage: the Ascension' Way.

there are 'The Nine Spheres of Knowledge', known simply as 'Spheres':
- Correspondence - the study of dimensional space.
- Entropy - the study of progressive disorder.
- Forces - the study of energy, in all of its forms.
- Life - the study of the biological.
- Matter - the study of physical, nonliving patterns.
- Mind - the study of sentience.
- Prime - the study of quintessential reality.
- Spirit - the study of the ethereal.
- Time - the study of the temporal.

experties of a certain 'Traditions':
- Correspondence - Virtual Adepts,
- Entropy - Euthanatos,
- Forces - Order of Hermes,
- Life - Verbena,
- Matter - Sons of Ether,
- Mind - Akashic Brotherhood,
- Prime - Celestial Chorus,
- Spirit - Dreamspeakers,
- Time - Cult of Extasy,

members of 'Hollow Ones' a 'Tradition' do not overspecialize ... they are a Versatile Masters of No-Spehere.

blog author's comments:
- Correspondence - it's also related with study of how information, energy & matter flows from a place to place, from a being to a being, of teleportation as well.
- Entropy - it's also randomness, decay.
- Forces - it's mostly physical energy, but without Prime it lacks source ... lacks a 'battery' to power it.
- Life - it's healing & harming as well.
- Matter - structure of matter, also the important nanotechnology's part.
- Mind - thoughts ... in relation with feelings, telepathy ... in relation with empathy ... probably awareness, senses, consciousness & imagination as well,
- Prime - source of 'Magickal Power' as well,
- Spirit - it's also spiritual beings, spirituality, religious transformations, as well as dreams & sleep,
- Time - it's physics, but also scheduling & synchronization of tasks, by living beings or machines as well.

the 'Nanite-Cloud Project', an idea i was toying with since a while, has the neccessity of following 'Spheres':
- Correspondence - for a cloud's coordination,
- Entropy - not sure if it's neccessary ... but i think that randomness plays a part in nanoelectromechanical systems construction,
- Forces - it's impossible to ignore Quantum Physics Phenomenae & Electromagnetism when playing in the nanoscale,
- Matter - very important part, structure of the matter,
- Life - biology is a part of nanotechnology, perhaps can't be skipped even with nanoelectromechanical systems,
- Prime - not sure if neccessary ... power source, with Forces' Sphere,
- Time - for software's concurrent behaviour,

this Project took a form of 'Nanite War Computer Game'.

this the 'Nanite-Cloud Project', combined with 'Mind', 'Spirit' & 'Life', an 'Artificial Life' could be created, perhaps.
