I’ve been thinking of an AU in which Sylladexes aren’t as abstract.
Instead, “Sylladex” is a smart phone app, downloadable for free, courtesy of Skaianet.
It lets the user store their stuff in a convenient, on-the-go cosmic mallet space, much like in the comic, but in a more tangible form.
Fetch Modi would be downloadable in-app, and each would be priced according to their convenience.
For example, the app would give you “Stack” for free, as it is the simplest (and fairly annoying), but you could pay for others. Modi such as “Tree” and “Hashmap” would cost a few dollars, while very convenient and useful Modi such as “Recipe” and “Wallet” would cost upwards of a hundred dollars.
“Encryption” is so heinously awful that Skaianet will actually pay you a dollar to download it.
