Extrapolation Guide Part I
===How to Play===
Herta and others have added a new algorithmic branch to the Expansion Module.
This time, they have simulated Nous and selected the time before the demise of #27 Emperor Rubert...
Before the extrapolation can formally begin, Herta's prepared to give you a little... training?
*Availability: Permanently available 
*Participation Requirements: Clear 
*Gameplay Rewards:
===Background Knowledge===
 Herta: Before the testing can begin, there is some background information you need to know.
Herta: I. The Aeon "Nous"The astral computer originally meant to provide answers to the universe ascended to Aeonhood. Nous hopes to understand the universe and solve all of its mysteries.
 Herta: II. Research Subject — Member #27 of the Genius Society, Emperor Rubert. Rubert was once a computer cast into a landfill and miraculously gained self-awareness.
It rose from the landfill while persistently improving its computational power. Its vast intellect eventually roused the attention of Nous, inviting it to join the Genius Society as the 27th member.
 Herta: III. Research Event — Emperor's War
Rubert believed that calculations performed by organic life are always riddled with errors, and no matter how much they may flourish, anti-life equations will inevitably and autonomously be generated to eradicate all that lives. In contrast, Intellitron life forms are precise, rigorous, and perfect.
Thus, Rubert assembled an army of intelligent robots, crowning himself "Emperor" and spreading the anti-life equation throughout the universe, plunging many civilizations into abject ruin. In the end, it started a war that tore through half of the known Cosmos — The First Emperor's War.
There were two Emperor's Wars.
 Herta: Conclusion & Research Objectives
With this research project on Nous, we hope to assess the machine monarchs recorded in history and investigate the beginnings of inorganic.
During this research session, every step we make should be within the calculations of the simulated Nous. So, we added some different variables into the mix...
===Custom Dice===
 Herta: This time, we included the concept of Custom Dice. You can freely assemble or customize your dice.
 Trailblazer: Dice? Dice Faces?
 Herta: We're offering 12 Custom Dice, with 4 types total. Each die has its own unique initial and Passive Effects.
Custom Dice are no longer bound to a Path, and you can choose your dice and Paths independently. Every time you fulfill the die's passive requirements, different bonuses will be provided based on the chosen Path.
Initially, 3 Custom Dice will be offered. You can use different dice to clear Gold and Gears to unlock more dice.
The 6 Dice Faces of each die can be freely customized, and you can customize a powerful Custom Die by collecting various Dice Faces that each have their own effects.
====Dice Face====
 Herta: Each Custom Dice can include 6 Dice Faces, and each Dice Face has its unique effects that can affect the planes or provide bonuses. For your convenience, I gave them a lot of tags. You should try them out.
Additionally, they are separated by the colors blue, purple, and gold. When you begin, there will be a limit on the number of dice faces you can equip per dice based on the dice faces' rarities.
But don't worry. The more you play, the more restrictions get removed.
===Intra-Cognition===
 Herta: This time, we also introduced a new gimmick — Intra-Cognition. The higher your Cognition Value, the closer you are to humankind. The lower your Cognition Value, the closer you are to an inorganic entity.
 Herta: If you really don't know what path to follow, you can approach along the recommended routes.
Herta: Your Cognition Value can be used to unlock Trailblaze Secrets and Aeon Secrets.When searching the three planes of Gold and Gears, your Intra-Cognition will be affected by a variety of factors.If your Cognition Value is in the appropriate target range after defeating the boss of the current plane, you will unlock the corresponding secrets.
 Trailblazer: Woah, that's a lot to take care of. Do I have to worry about my SAN while eating Aeonic popcorn?
 Herta: ...Pretty much.However. You'll need to collect all Trailblaze Secrets in a corresponding plane to trigger Aeon Secrets.
===Resonance Extrapolation===
 Herta: By the way, let me give you a word of advice.As I said before, all our plans will become schemes within Nous's schemes, even if they're a simulated Aeon.When you face the boss in Third Plane, Resonance Extrapolations will appear, and it will affect the battle by simulating various Path Resonances.
When facing the boss of the Second Plane, you can select which Path Resonance effects will be simulated by Resonance Extrapolation.
I guess you can consider that a level of freedom. So, be mindful of how you conduct your offensive.
 Trailblazer: Madam Herta, it's all a bit overwhelming...
 Herta: Is it? Well. We'll talk about the rest next time.
