Editing Entity (section)

===Communication===
The first complex message ever sent by an Entity was communicated by having every one of their shards express the same concept at the same time, with each of the millions of their shards contributing a different nuance to the message. This method was violent, involving almost every shard turning the full force of their different capabilities outward, expressing an incredibly informationally dense message across countless wavelengths and forms of energy.

Later, more evolved entities broadcasted similarly nuanced signals across channels formed of the very foundation of the universe. The signals were only sent across specific realities, so that they would not accidentally contact uninhabited worlds. These broadcasts were conveyed using trillions upon trillions of shards, capable of conveying more information than an entire planet of sapient beings might in a century. One drawback of this method of communication was that it grew quieter and less nuanced as an entity lost its shards.

Outside of broadcasting, entities also exchange shards with one another, a practice that is vital for them to evolve and grow. One method they use is to exchange shards codified with memories and techniques. Another method is achieved by direct physical contact, in which the entities rub against one another with intense friction. This physically transfers shards as well as creating new shards via forced mutation. Many shards are destroyed in this process, with many more being created. It is possible for an entity to sacrifice too much of itself in this way.
