>>31563083I'll be honest, I get very confused about the waves sometimes.We have at least 2 types of wave, the probability wave for the location of the magic quanta, and the conceptual wave. Im guessing its the conceptual waves that these surfaces would affect
Which would imply that certain surfaces or objects may be able to reflect conceptual energy of some types, while letting others pass through, which would lead us to
>magic polarization>magic filters (effectively the same thing as polarization here)>magic prisms>magic mirrors (as in, an object that reflects magic energy)>magic focusing and scattering lenses>magic-optical fibres>anti magic surfaces>magic dampening systems>magic amplifying systemsand probably many more. This would open up a whole new area of chuubanite engineering for the far future, and an entirely new field of vitubium research, which im gonna call "Vitium Optics".
Ofc, use of any of these ideas would be well beyond anyone in the setting right now, but I personally like the idea just from the perspective of brainstorming potential technologies and ideas.
A magic prism idea did pop up earlier with the Moriji diamond that OGsuner got. The idea of that diamond having been a concept-prism started the whole quantum interpretation.
>>31563528The way a glyph would work is that a glyph can cause a controlled disturbance in the vitium field. The "language" in effect is this disturbance, which tells the vitium field (and thus, concepts themselves) how to behave in that particular point of space.
The chains would have to have some concrete form in the quantum interpretation, meaning that a particle would be necessary. In the quantum interpretation a singular concept in the conceptual realm exists as a wave that spans the entirety of Superreality, and all concepts exist like this on top of each other (since they can be in superposition).
Concepts can be separated in some locations of space by the removal of other concept waves from that particular spot, and this happens all the time as the Vitium Field "boils" like a kettle of soup. The more "boiling" you have, meaning the more waves and bubbles and disturbances you have on the surface, the more individual specific concepts become reality in that particular point of the field. These concepts do not stop existing anywhere else in the field, unless they are removed from some spots by other interactions. It would be theoretically and practically impossible to remove a concept in int entirety everywhere.
The individual precise concepts coming into existence ARE the chaos in the field, that is why they are more stable during chaotic times, and less so during calm times (when they exist in "harmony" with the rest of the concepts). "Chaos" is stable during the times of chaos, and unstable during the times of calm.
The idea being that for an artificial vitium structure, you need these individual precise concepts to be as stable as possible, because stabilizing them uses a lot of energy. You cant realistically create a new concept out of nothing, as the amount of energy required is really not available to a normal everyday person, so you need to use an existing one, and during chaotic times a lot of these temporary individual precise concepts pop in and out of existence (they always existed, but now they become "visible"), you basically just need to grab one of them, and create a barrier around it so it stays around. This barrier is part of the chain links, but it isnt all of them, you still need to connect the concepts you have trapped to each other.
>A bit of a tangent. As the base state is vagueness, these individual precise concepts "want to" collapse back into the vagueness at any moment, and from this collapse a lot of energy is released.
-> stormy vitium field means a lot of magic energy popping into existence, leading to real world effects. You could think of the rushia nuclear meltdown as a massive (and very precise) vitium field shape aka vitium entity aka wave(set) aka rushia collapsing back into the vagueness, releasing an unfathomable amount of energy in the process.
The targeting thing could be sidestepped if souls are canonized, as they would essentially be a person's individual concept shape.You'd just need to connect an aspect of that to the structure created (as in, stabilized, isolated, and connected together) by the contract.
>and now you are here.I've been here since the beginning of chuubanite, and have over the months contributed a lot to it, you've probably had a lot of those discussions with me (when you havent been talking with other reps wanting to make sense out of their mechanics).
The way I see it is that the concept-interpretation (as in, yours) is the equivalent to classical mechanics and relativity, and the quantum interpretation naturally equivalent to quantum mechanics. Both work and describe the reality correctly, but they may not fit together in every situation.
