| − | Psi energy, or psi flux, is a form of energy generated by,
| |
| − | and contained in, living things. It also exists under certain
| |
| − | circumstances in forms not associated with living things. These
| |
| − | will be discussed later. (Chaz note; there is a lot of math in
| |
| − | here. I'm leaving out the numbers, as I'm adding the details
| |
| − | during lunch at work. If anyone ever needs them I can dig them
| |
| − | up from old documents at home.)

| − | A living body generates and contains a certain amount of psi
| |
| − | energy. This energy bleeds off into the surrounding environment
| |
| − | at all times, and is replenished by the body's normal processes.
| |
| − | The body thus gives off a radiant "aura" of psi flux which can
| |
| − | be detected and measured. A typical person's aura radiates at
| |
| − | about one-tenth the energy level contained by that person's body.

| | its sensitivity to 'events' | | its sensitivity to 'events' |
| − | One notable property of psi flux is that it is sensitive to, and
| |
| − | tropic towards, certain external events. Such events include
| |
| − | the presence of other concentrations of psi energy, as well as
| |
| − | certain high-energy transitions of other sorts such as rapidly
| |
| − | alternating electric currents, intense thermal or chemical
| |
| − | reactions, etc. Psi flux therefore tends to concentrate around
| |
| − | such events. Its range of sensitivity is quite short, however
| |
| − | that range increases as the charge accumulates. As a result,
| |
| − | smaller charges accumulate readily, while larger ones are sensitive
| |
| − | to more and more remote events and tend to behave less predictably.

| | | | |
| | its normal behavior when not influenced | | its normal behavior when not influenced |
| − | If released into free space, psi flux moves in straight lines at
| |
| − | high speed. It remains in one place only when "attracted" there
| |
| − | by a flux "charge" or other event (see above.) Moving flux
| |
| − | travels at a very high rate of speed; variants of the Michelson/
| |
| − | Morley experiment conducted with flux could not measure its velocity,
| |
| − | indicating it is much higher than that of light, if it is measurable
| |
| − | at all.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Free flux can, however, be directed using its affinities. A concen-
| |
| − | trated charge tends to be self-defining; the psi flux is attracted
| |
| − | itself and readily builds charges and moves in streams, until the
| |
| − | overall charge gets large. Flux therefore can be constrained to
| |
| − | move in predictable ways.

| − | Psi flux tends to travel in straight lines, however it can be bent
| |
| − | into circles using suitable conduits. The degree to which a flux
| |
| − | will bend depends upon its charge and upon the conduit used. Flux
| |
| − | will not usually traverse a sharp corner, radiating outwards instead.
| |
| − | Radially symmetric patterns of corners are an exception; the state
| |
| − | change from constrained to unconstrained is enough to maintain an
| |
| − | aggregate charge in some cases.

| − | Psi flux has an affinity for elemental metals in the IB column of
| |
| − | the periodic table, and these materials serve as good conduits for
| |
| − | flux. Silver shows the strongest affinity, gold is next, and
| |
| − | copper is weakest. Shapes constructed of these materials can be
| |
| − | formed to constrain low flux charges.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Note that silver may get quite warm when conducting psi flux; an
| |
| − | unexpected change in the temperature of a silver object is often
| |
| − | a useful way to tell when one encounters a high flux charge.

| − | Elemental metals in the VIIB column are antithetic to psi flux.
| |
| − | These metals tend to disrupt psi charges and block flux passage.
| |
| − | Iron and osmium both show this behavior; this writer has not had
| |
| − | the opportunity to experiment on ruthenium.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Note that, like silver, iron gets very hot when disrupting flux.
| |
| − | Sometimes other effects are visible. These vary widely and can be
| |
| − | unexpectedly large or violent.

| − | Rapidly varying electromagnetic fields have an effect on free flux
| |
| − | similar to that of iron sheeting. The effect becomes measurable
| |
| − | at frequencies above 20 Hz; above 120 Hz the blockage is nearly
| |
| − | total. The flux in this case behaves as if it had hit an iron sheet,
| |
| − | and may cause random effects as above.

| − | Psi flux is more complex than electricity, in that the energy
| |
| − | exhibits the ability to take with it some qualities or "memories"
| |
| − | of the environment through which it passes. The energy radiated
| |
| − | from an individual, for instance, carries a unique signature or
| |
| − | psychic "scent" distinct to that person. That signature mixes
| |
| − | with the general ambient until it is eventually lost to entropy.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Psi flux can therefore be used to carry information in many
| |
| − | useful ways. People, for instance, do this naturally; at
| |
| − | moments of great stress their radiated energy carries something
| |
| − | of their thoughts and emotions into the ambient, which can be
| |
| − | detected later by sensitive individuals. Impression of such
| |
| − | memories on a place is one cause of "ghosts."

| − | When two "particles" of psi flux touch or pass through one
| |
| − | another, they each take away something of the signature and
| |
| − | content carried by the other. information thus spreads widely
| |
| − | over time, in less and less distinct form. Sensitive people
| |
| − | can read and interpret this information.

| − | Some people, by virtue of some accident of birth or birthright,
| |
| − | are naturally able to sense and interpret the psi flux. Abilities
| |
| − | and strengths vary widely.

| − | As the ambient level of psi energy in the world continues to rise,

| − | Regular exercise of abilities using psi flux seems to increase the
| |
| − | level and flexibility of the user's energies. As their innate
| |
| − | charge increases, so does the user's radiant aura. This can be
| |
| − | measured. Such measurement is not 100% effective however, as
| |
| − | some practitioners can learn to deliberately lower or mask their
| |
| − | aura.
