Quantum

undefined

Quantum is the term used within the [{Trinity Universe]] to refer to the energy that novas can access and manipulate, via the M-R node. Also a game term to refer to that same energy.

Quantum is a shorthand term. While it's convenient, conceptually speaking, to think of "quantum energy," such a thing doesn't really exist. In actuality, a nova manipulates some combination of the four fundamental forces: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, and gravity.

As these four forces are responsible for nearly all observed physical phenomena, being able to manipulate these four forces means a nova (or quantakinetic, for that matter) is theoretically capable of doing anything, limited only by their own psyche.

Quantum isn't the only element which makes up the universe, however. The "fifth force," psi, governs information and (perhaps) consciousness itself. It is the final element in a true grand unificiation theory. Together, quantum energy and psi have been called "telluric energy."

Oddly enough, the manipulation of quantum appears to be unique to humanity, whether acheived directly (the M-R node) or via the secondary medium of psi (quantakinesis).
