'''DT’s Boost Control

DT’s internal speed is boosted to 100 times the speed of the outside world.

But that x100 speed is the result of '''controlling the boost for human purposes''' since DT’s natural speed is a lot faster, which creates energy consumption and safety issues.

Even the current DT OS can alter the boost setting of a portion of DT up to x1000.

The boost control is generally handled by the generators in DT’s intermediary layer and the DT OS itself.

The intermediary layer is a uniform space, so the generators are positioned at virtual positions that allow them to surround DT’s X, Y, and Z axes from all directions. They intercept the high speed virtual waves constantly produced by DT, apply a controlled boost, and return that to the DT OS.

When the DT OS receives that, it activates a '''Mini Boost Adjustment Program''' written across all of the '''space''' forming DT.

By '''taking control''' of the entire space, the speed of all things can be controlled.

Also, the PC Bodies within DT have their metabolism and other biological data fed back to the DT OS where they are adjusted and have subprograms applied to ensure their growth within DT matches the outside world.

This technology gives the people within DT a lifespan 100 times longer than normal, although that extra time is technically an artificial experience since that much time does not pass in the outside world. This is why DT became a destination for terminal patients, prisoners with long sentences, and various types of research and development.

In the current year of 2000, the adjustment program can handle a boost up to x1200, but all plans to increase the boost have been abandoned.

This is partially because safety is only guaranteed with a boost up to x1000 and because an increased boost would exacerbate the disconnect between DT and the outside world.

Research is underway to find a way for the setting to be changed on an individual level, so by accumulating heat energy through eating or paying money, an individual or a limited space can take the heat energy usually used for the boost setting and use it to activate their own programs instead.
