Beyond The Ordinary
A major article of faith for me as a Gamemaster is the statement that we are all, and have always been, particular instances of the archetypal Transhuman 𐋅. In the discussion to follow below, it is stated that a transhuman can be denoted by H+. 𐋅 is simply a large cross placed within a capital H. As such, 𐋅 represents the archetypal transhuman with every H+ simply a particular instance of 𐋅. 𐋅 can be thought to represent a humble (but highly desirable) human version of the God ᘯ. 𐋅 can never be reached but it is a major goal of Qu Transhumanism to constantly strive to approach 𐋅.

Beyond The Ordinary
A Transhuman (nothing to do with transgender humans) is a transitional human—an intermediary form evolving toward posthumanity by augmenting their body and mind with advanced technology. This movement seeks to use AI, biotechnology, and nanotechnology to transcend natural limitations, aiming to increase intelligence, strength, and lifespan. Transhumans often incorporate technology like brain chips, bionic limbs, or genetic modifications to fundamentally enhance human capabilities.
Key Aspects Of Transhumanism.
Definition: Transhumanism (often shortened to H+) is a philosophy advocating the ethical use of technology to enhance human capacities.
The Goal: To diminish human suffering, eliminate diseases, and achieve radical life extension, or even physical immortality.
Technologies: Involves biohacking, neural implants, artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering to upgrade cognitive and physical abilities.
"Digital" Immortality: Some proponents aim for the ultimate transition—uploading consciousness into a digital, non-biological form.
The Future Vision: While transhumans are enhanced humans, they represent the bridge to "posthumans"—beings with abilities so advanced they may not technically be considered human anymore.
