Much like being a [[heretek]], there are many grey areas of tech-heresy, many of which do not involve [[Chaos]], [[traitor]]s, or the [[Dark Mechanicum]] at all. Some hereteks remain in the Adeptus Mechanicus, their tech-heresies hidden or unnoticed, and still loyal to the [[Imperium]] and [[humanity]].{{Fn|3}}

Much like being a [[heretek]], there are many grey areas of tech-heresy, many of which do not involve [[Chaos]], [[traitor]]s, or the [[Dark Mechanicum]] at all. Some hereteks remain in the Adeptus Mechanicus, their tech-heresies hidden or unnoticed, and still loyal to the [[Imperium]] and [[humanity]].{{Fn|3}}
Heretechnica ranged from those which may be contained to the horrors of the mind or body of only a single being, to higher orders of Heretechnica, capable of unleashing plagues of death across entire star systems, draining the energy from stars or distorting space-time itself.{{Fn|1}}
Using [[Xenotech]] is considered tech heresy by some or a valuable opportunity by others. Opinions such as these can lead to the cooperation or conflict between [[tech-priest]]s and [[Inquisitor]]s, depending on the alignment of each party.{{citethis}}
Innovation and experimentation is considered a tech-heresy by some.{{cithis}}
