	Owing to the personal nature of spirituality in the Outlook, a consensus on what precisely Ka is has never really developed. ~~Most of the~~ concept is really tied together by the fact that Ka can house an AI and such things have effects on one's personality.

The concept is really tied together by the fact that Ka can house an AI and such things have effects on one's personality.

	Other than that, Ka is many things to many people. Some will say it is the soul of a person, while others will claim that it's simply the ability of a heart or the stomach to house an AI and this gives people heartburn or indigestion. Opinions on the matter vary almost as much as the degree to which people are bothered by said views.		Other than that, Ka is many things to many people.

			In the Diamond tribe, the Ka is usually referred to as ''Essense'' and it is considered separable from the body. Members of the Diamond tribe spent most of their life in the pursuit of extracting their Ka and housing it in a black box. The Mutati on the other hand tell of a soul, an invisible circle around one's heart, that links humans of all strains together, and say that this is what other Tribes call the Ka.

	No-one’s religion is “attack X strain on sight”. Distrusting, or assuming a role of a particular strain is more common, within limits. What’s most common is a belief on the role of Techgnosis or Psionics within the world, which can be more extreme, but the same limit applies here; the Tribes have co-existed, and a belief system that’ll lead to destruction of one or other group would be unable to flourish		No-one’s religion is “attack X strain on sight”.
