>>10053547Having singular individuals who have multiple bodies or split into multiple units actually raises some really interesting questions about the mechanics of their sparks and brain-modules.
If I was writing Tf fiction, I think my pseudo-scientific* explanation would go something like this:
Their spark is split into two (or more) quantum-entangled probability phases, effectively allowing the single spark to co-exist in two separate physical locations simultaneously. The surrounding spark-chamber physically splits two house the separated spark instances.
In contrast their brain module is physically separated into multiple components, which are each moved along with the spark-instance into the separating body-unit. Each brain-module sub-component directly pilots and controls the individual body-unit it’s house within. However collectively all of the sub-components operate together as a unified networked processing cluster, utilizing the synchronized fluctuations and feedback of their local spark-instance as a medium for instant, lose-less, signaling inter-communication between each other.
*I actually happen to have enough semi-casual knowledge of quantum physics to know this is not only a deliberate conflation of the two separate concepts of quantum-entanglement and quantum positional state-uncertainty, but that it is also explicitly not how either of those things work.
I could elaborate on that, but realistically this is already way too nerdy, and nobody cares enough to want an explanation about which specific ways physics doesn’t actually allow various cool Sci-Fi concepts.
