Farspark resonator

The Farspark resonator is a piece of extramuros technology associated with Farspark, a media system distinguished from the "speely" moving‑picture practice.

First mention and context

It is first brought up during a conversation in the New Library between an avout scholar and an artisan from outside the walls. While discussing why the avout do not simply consume extramuros media, the artisan offers that, if the avout had an old Farspark resonator, he could supply a down‑converter from his workshop to make use of it. The avout explain they have no such device and that their Discipline limits them to simple media such as chalk, ink, and stone.

Relationships and related technologies

• Part of the Farspark ecosystem and contrasted with the speely practice; one artisan remarks that Farspark content and speely formats are not directly compatible without conversion.
• Mentioned alongside a speelycaptor, a separate handheld device used to record moving pictures.

Description and traits

No physical description is provided in the text. It is referred to as an “old” item that might require a down‑converter to interface with other equipment.

Current status

Within the math where the discussion occurs, the avout state they do not possess a Farspark resonator and do not use such devices.
