The Culture - Biological.
The Culture is a posthuman society, which originally arose when seven or eight roughly humanoid space-faring species coalesced into a quasi-collective - a "group-civilisation" - ultimately consisting of approximately thirty trillion (short scale) sentient beings. Although the Culture was originated by humanoid species, subsequent interactions with other civilisations have introduced many non-humanoid species into the Cult ...

| | | | The Culture: Encyclopedia - Teleportation Teleportation, or teletransportation, is the process of moving objects from one place to another more or less instantaneously, without using conventional transportation. There are many examples of success in this area.
With present techniques, teleportation is conceivable only with elementary particles, or theoretically, by encoding information about an object, transmitting the information to another place, such as on a radio signal, and creating a copy of the original object in the new location. Teleportation has also been proposed to explain various anomalous phenomena, and ...

Von Neumann probe - Von Neumann probes.
The monoliths in Arthur C. Clarke's book and Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey are self-replicating probes, though the artifacts in "The Sentinel", Clarke's original short story upon which 2001 was based, were not. The film was to begin with a series of scientists explaining how probes like these would be the most efficient method of exploring outer space. Kubrick cut the opening segment from his film at the last minute, however, an ...

| | | | The Culture: Encyclopedia II - Sapir-Whorf hypothesis - History of the concept The position that language anchors thought (thinking is shabdanA or 'languageing') was argued for cogently by Bhartrihari (6th c.AD) and was the subject of centuries of debate in the Indian linguistic tradition. Related notions in the West, such as the axiom that language has controlling effects upon thought can be traced to Wilhelm von Humboldt's essay "Über das vergleichende Sprachstudium" (On the comparative study of languages), and the notion has been largely assimilated into Western thought. Karl Kerenyi began his 1976 English l ...

Halo video game series - Master Chief.
Main article: Master Chief (Halo)
Master Chief's true name is John, and his surname has never been revealed. His birth name was effectively erased, and so he is known by his rank of Master Chief or Spartan-117. This rank roughly corresponds to the modern rank Master Chief Petty Officer of the United States Navy in the 21st century. In the Halo universe, Master Chief and the entire SPARTAN project are under the command of the United Nations Space Command Navy. Master Chi ...

They are generally working only with human civilizations, apparently, not daring to "progress" non-human races, like Leoniders or Headies, with whom Earth prefers to keep a full scaled diplomatic contact. Aware of a possible xenophobia, progressors usually employ stealth and secrecy to work undercover, allowing only a few brightest and most trustwort ...
