Continuation of "Player imprint". Throuhg prototyping the Skaia produces DNA from the cultural information of "mother" species. While soul-reading (Ultimate self and the individual incarnation are read) is a more "individual" imput of a player. Basically, it just more internal vs external dichotomy. Because the way the frogs reproduce isn't convoluted enough.

I was talking more about, how such a thing would manifest in a thing that is pretty much a Big Frog containing the physical reality of the Universe.
