Footnote on restricted ancient technological transfer from Ionians to humans

Technology, from the very start, was somewhat parsimoniously shared by the Ionians with the humans of Zubos, and neither advanced electronic computation devices (with the exception of some medical instrumentation) nor cybernetic/biological augmentation technologies, were  generally made available in the early history of the new world, so the human inhabitants rather quickly invented their own means to record language and information. This amounted within a very short time to the essential equivalent of pencil and ink marking and paper. See History of Ionian/Zubonian Technology Transfer; and The Original Transportation and Settlement of Zubos; also Notes on the Ionian Civilization before the Recontact. The early Zubonians apparently were quite well aware that the Ionians possessed superior technology, but it does not seem to have been seen as strange or unfair that they would not divulge everything they knew. Within a fairly short time, actual Ionians absented themselves from Zubonian affairs anyway (generally and publicly, at any rate, although to some extent their continued clandestine presence played a role at various points in the history of the Human Worlds, and it was always clear, at least to those of a conspiratorial frame of mind, that some among the Ionians were keenly interested and involved in human affairs). In the main, over the long span of Zubonian and Human World history, Ionian involvement was seen as minimal, although the basic facts remained universally known: a race of beings who must have seemed supernatural to the early Zubonians had brought them from the “old world,” (called Urbos or sometimes Yibos), given them the “new world,” (Zubos) and then mostly left humankind to get along on its own. These beings were radically different from humans in many ways, so they must have seemed like “gods” in the sense that they were not expected to be on the same level with people; yet, for whatever reason, they were never worshiped nor especially revered, and the fact that they were living beings comparable to humans in in general seems to have been understood right from the beginning. However, for reasons explained in Some Notes on Ionian Language, it was never possible for humans to even approximate Ionian “speech,” and Ionians did so in reverse only as suited them and as consistent with their own rather alien linguistic psychology.
