Editor's Notes
- #3: Organism : A living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independentlySix Million Dollar Man
- #6: (Latin: sono-, sound + Greek: chromat-, color + Greek: -opsia, visual condition).
- #7: Harbission is able to discern the differences in the colors on the paint palette in front of him by wearing a headset integrated with a digital camera connected to a backpack containing a computer which slows down the frequency of the light waves to the frequency of the sound waves. The translated tone is heard through an earpiece.
