The physics of the PWR UP era, and the one thing in it that nobody has yet accounted for.
- Foxite is the pink crystal that comes out of the reactor. Start here.
- Varyon is the field the crystal responds to, which living beings emit and emotion appears to modulate.
- Varyolithography is how IO Fox learned to make that field do something useful.
- Varyon Syndrome is what has been happening to Talaris since June, and it has no accepted explanation.
- Residual Field is the explanation IO Fox proposed in September, and the study he is running to test it.
For the hardware built on all of this, see Technology.
