You keep saying BS, but I see a really unique concept here. Much like your modeling, your novelistic idea is very good. As long as a plausible (somewhat plausible) idea is explained, there need be no detailed scientific basis (at our current technology) or explanation. Readers usually take it an run with it as long as it seems plausible. Or believable. I don't know everyone's writing ability here. I know one can receive a LOT of good ideas and things to think about from most everyone who pops in here...well, except for me, I think. WOrds like protaganist, etc., are things I don't understand. I can recommend you "bother" dialyn. I know she has written two novels (and have been granted the opportunity to read one of them). Your novel (and main character) need to have a balance, how shall I say it, of the "cold steel" of the future and the feelings of real people. As she suggested, there are a few different ways to go with it. I don't know what you intend to do with the idea, but it sounds delicious enough that you should copy this thread so that you aren't surprised one day by someone who took your idea and ran with it before you could. (not saying the people who frequent this forum would stoop to that level, but no one knows who pops in and reads and departs...never saying anything.)
