Avatar

Sophiological Avatars are avatars composed of ideas made manifest, rather than immortalized flesh. A custom sophiological avatar, or Semblance, is extremely expensive, however it is possible to use self-image as input to automatically generate a sophiological avatar.

One should note that the sale of custom sophiological avatars means that biometrics such as fingerprinting, voice recognition, eye-scanning and DNA evidence are all less useful than they were in the Old Real. The result is that SAMs like Psychometry or Parcelmaster are heavily employed by police forensic teams.

Psychoneurography
A Psychoneurography is the process of drawing upon a person's self-image to form a type of sophiological avatar called a psychoneurograph by the medical community. The machine used to enact the process is called a Psychoneurogram.

Soulsearching
For all intents and purposes, self-image and the consciousness is the soul. Furthur, a psychoneurography always gives the same results, regardless of a person's age or experience. As a result, a psychoneurograph is said to be the process of shedding a physical body to become a Soul, a process nicknamed "soulsearching".
