Rotated Particles
Many of our more practical and life changing technologies rely heavily Rotated Particles. From the basic mechanics behind modern string theory and the 13 known dimensions comes perhaps the most important discovery since the wheel.

Since particles can be rotated on their Tangilble dimensional axes, it only stands to reason that they can be rotated on their other spatial axis. It took the galactic empires a long time to figure this out, at least in any functional way. While rotating a particle, or more properly the string that determines the identity of that particle, within a confining quantum field is a relatively simple idea, in function and application it is considerably more complex.

Fundamentally, properly phased resonant energy is funnelled into the Blind dimension while the quantum field is gingerly manipulated to coax the Tangible, Manifold, and Elegant axes of the string into proper, precise positions. A great deal of energy must be precisely controlled in the stimulation of the Blind dimension and in the manipulation of the quantum field and its focus on the string itself.

When the string is precisely rotated, it essentially becomes a different particle with different properties than the original. In much the same way that a multi-coloured cube can be spun on its Tangible axes to change its properties from “green” to “blue”, a particle can be spun on its Tangible, Manifold, and Elegant axes to change its properties from “electron” to “electryon”.

Once the particle is precisely rotated, only a little energy is required to be fed to the Blind dimension through the quantum field to maintain the orientation. If released from the confines of the quantum field, the rotated particle will release the holding energy bound to the Blind dimension and revert to its normal “Tangible” state. Most of the energy used in the creation of rotated particles, while
considerable, is “clean”. That is, the applied energy does most of its work through the fact that it is precisely phased and resonant relative to the energies of the particle. This is similar to the way microwaves create heat in water without being “hot” themselves. When a particle reverts to its Tangible state, it releases a seemingly larger amount of “dirty” energy in the form of heat, light, static electricity and physical motion as it pivots on its dimensional axes. Particle rotation trades off slow, controlled energy manipulation for large bursts of power.

In practical applications, rotated particles are produced in large, carefully controlled factory-labs. They are parceled in the large, nearly indestructible quantum kegs and quantum containment batteries we are all familiar with and distributed for end use. Through the careful manipulation of the containing quantum field, vast amounts of energy can be harnessed as power or the particles can be released and allowed to un-spin for a variety of reasons, including power production and weapons technology.

An example of extremely high-energy rotated particles is the neutrinon, which is a neutrino rotated on its Manifold axes. The configuration of the rotation is such that the Blind dimension leaches out its holding energy relatively slowly. The neutrinons experience a short delay before snapping back to their Tangible neutrino state and releasing their useable, dirty energy. While expensive and difficult to manufacture, they are exceptionally controllable when “burning” for power and have convenient military characteristics, like their ability to pass through matter before snapping back to their Tangible state, releasing bursts of energy within targets.

An interesting effect of rotated particles is that of the negative-energy rotated particle, as found in Protofluid. The Blind dimension of a deuterium-tritium fuel is manipulated to spin the particles into a considerably lower energy state. When the quantum containment field is released, the particles snap back to their Tangible axes, absorbing masses of energy in the process. In controlled conditions, Protofluid can be used as a very expensive rapid-freezing agent or as a weapon. Negative-energy particles like Protofluid are often more stable and easier to contain than their high-energy cousins.
