Originally from the Genetics Preview Kit. Ripped and formatted by Gordnorn and Rhodent.

CAOS number: Chemical Name: Hexadecimal form.

The numbers on the left are used in CAOS coding, eg. COBs, and the numbers on the right are used in the genome.

Numerical ID: Chemical Name : Hexadecimal

0 <NONE> 00

Drive levels...

1 Pain 01
2 Need for Pleasure 02
3 Hunger 03
4 Coldness 04
5 Hotness 05
6 Tiredness 06
7 Sleepiness 07
8 Loneliness 08
9 Crowded 09
10 Fear 0A
11 Boredom 0B
12 Anger 0C
13 Sex Drive 0D

Drive-raising chemicals...

17 Pain Increase 11
18 Need for Pleasure Increase 12
19 Hunger Increase 13
20 Coldness Increase 14
21 Hotness Increase 15

22 Tiredness Increase 16
23 Sleepiness Increase 17
24 Loneliness Increase 18
25 Crowded Increase 19
26 Fear Increase 1A
27 Boredom Increase 1B
28 Anger Increase 1C
29 Sex Drive Increase 1D

Drive-reducing chemicals...

33 Pain Decrease (Endorphin) 21
34 Need for Pleasure Decrease 22
35 Hunger Decrease (Saccharin) 23

Saccharin is a sweetener only. It has no nutritional value (unlike carbohydrate) but satisfies hunger. (hi sugar lo carb = junk food!)

36 Coldness Decrease 24
37 Hotness Decrease 25
38 Tiredness Decrease 26
39 Sleepiness Decrease 27
40 Loneliness Decrease 28
41 Crowded Decrease 29
42 Fear Decrease 2A
43 Boredom Decrease 2B
44 Anger Decrease 2C
45 Sex Drive Decrease 2D

Learning/Brain Chemicals

49 Reward 31

learning reinforcer

50 Punishment 32

learning reinforcer

51 Reinforcement 33

Both punishment and reward chemicals decay to produce this short-life chemical. It allows e.g. concept space dens to get stronger when ANY form of reinforcement occurs.

52 ConASH 34

Concept layer Atrophy Suppressing Hormone - emitted by loose CON NEUS - stops further con neu dens from atrophying, thus ensuring a minimal supply of unallocated cells for new concepts.

53 DecASH1 35

Decision layer Atrophy Suppressing Hormone - emitted by loose DEC DENS (type0) - stops further dec dens from atrophying, thus ensuring a minimal supply of unallocated dens for new associations.

54 Reward Echo 36

Reward chemical must decay rapidly, this longer lasting chemical is generated during that decay. Useful chemical to monitor in the Science Kit to see if reward has occurred. Biochemical use as a measure of 'recent' reward.

55 Punish Echo 37

Punishment chemical must decay rapidly, this longer lasting chemical is generated during that decay. Useful chemical to monitor in the Science Kit to see if punishment has occurred. Biochemical use as a measure of 'recent' punishment.

56 Ageing 38

Decays over time, switching on receptors to change the stage of life from embryo through to senile. Stage changes then switch on new genes.

57 Starch 39

Emitted by food objects - converts to Glucose for energy. Does NOT decrease hunger - this is done directly by Hunger-- (saccharin), so that junk food can contain high saccharin levels but low starch, etc.

58 Glucose 3A

Produced from starch and in a reversible reaction from glycogen. Used up by muscle action.

59 Glycogen 3B

Life force. Long-term energy reserve, produced in reversible reaction from glucose. Produces Glucose to replenish supplies for muscle action. Absence of Glycogen is life threatening.

Waste Products

60 Waste Water 3C

Waste product from the conversion of glucose to energy. May deplete naturally, or may cause behaviour changes!!!

61 Hexokinase 3D

Enzyme. Converts glucose to Urea during the production of energy. Emitted by muscles as they demand energy. Consumed in the reaction to prevent residue.

62 Carbon Dioxide 3E

CO2 is produced by muscle action. It's a useful indicator of short-term average energy consumption and could be used to simulate heart rate or similar data for plots.

Sexual Chemicals

63 Oestrogen 3F

Controls fertility cycle in females

64 Testosterone 40

Controls fertility in males

65 Gonadotrophin 41

Produced immediately when pregnant in large quantities. Used to suppress the menstrual cycle.

66 Progesterone 42

Produced progressively during pregnancy. When it reaches a threshold, it fires a receptor to cause the egg to be laid.

Some Toxins

67 Glycotoxin 43

Extreme poison - breaks down Glycogen. Fatal if glycogen falls to zero. Found in Deathcap.

68 Alcohol 44

Ingested from fermented fruit, hootch etc. Causes drunken gait and possible sickness, etc. Causes much the same effect on norns that it has on humans...

69 Adrenaline 45

Natural adrenaline level builds up due to stress from excessive boredom, anger and suchlike. Has various deleterious effects on health.

Learning/Brain Chemicals

70 DecASH2 46

Decision layer Atrophy Suppressing Hormone - emitted by loose DEC DENS (type1) - stops further dec dens from atrophying, thus ensuring a minimal supply of unallocated dens for new associations.

Unimplemented Chemicals

71 Vitamin E 47

Fat Soluble vitamin, deficiency can cause infertility.

72 Vitamin C 48

Water soluble vitamin, used to maintain healthy connective tissue.

80 Purple Mountain Alcohol aka Dancing. 50

91 Activase 5B

92 Turnase 5C

93 Collapsase 5D

===IV Chemicals===

100 Energy 64 = in nornal norns, 1 unit gives 1 pain and 2 glucose
101 Adrenaline 65 = in nornal norns, gives 2 units natural adrenaline
102 Pain Killer 66 = in nornal norns, gives pain decrease and sleepiness increase
103 Cough Medicine 67 = in nornal norns, decreases Histamine A (associated with sneezing)
104 Sleeping Pill 68 = in nornal norns, gives sleepiness increase.
105 Wake-up Pill 69 = in nornal norns, gives natural adrenaline and sleepiness decrease
106 Anti-oxidant 6A = in nornal norns, gives Ageing.

Some Toxins

231 Geddonase E7

232 Histamine A E8

Produced by some bacteria; causes sneezing (thus making disease contagious).
