Technological advancement+vocabulary growth
« on: May 08, 2019, 11:08:11 pm »

TECH ADVANCEMENT
Scholars' theorems and mechanical innovations, if sufficiently developed, will either be lectured (if scholar has sufficient teacher skill) or be  compiled as a book or essay(which may be read and misinterpreted) and given lecture by another sapient entity.
The technologies and theorems should be pre-set, but future innovations should be randomly generated.
VOCABULARY PROLIFERATION
 The standard languages should be structured by a few linguistic laws, and upon technological and/or social advancement (such as new dialects/neologisms/slangs) these laws should be applied to generate new vocabulary.

Note that, while tech advancement may happen, it won't progress past 1400 or so.
