In early ancient times, Pol Sitanu was the first to really touch on the nature of the universe as we now understand it. Through some shockingly brilliant deduction and lengthy, though at times forced, mathematics that flew in the face of conventional string theory, he described the 13-dimensional universe. For a brief period after their release, his writings were studied, debated, and followed up by the most brilliant minds in physics. It was a short time, though, before his writings drifted from the scientifically progressive to the borders of madness. He diverged from theoreticql speculation and hard math to personal fantasies about stepping into other dimensions and walking among the inhabitants.  He and a small group of devout and generally unsavoury followers would construct and test a variety of failed experiments and equipment to attempt to bridge the gap to these other dimensions. He disappeared once for three weeks and, upon his return, claimed to have been exploring another dimension full of beauty and pure energy. It would later be revealed that he had spent three weeks on Whinakai squandering investors’ money on a fling with his lab assistant. His reputation would become that of a madman and charlatan. Following up on his work would spell almost immediate death for any serious scientist’s career. His ideas would stagnate for years.

The Y’Hotha develop similar theories based around an 11-dimensional universe. Attacking the problem mathematically and practically, they developed the concept of rotated particles. While they understood the essence of the rotated particle, certain incorrect physical and mathematical assumptions lead to dropping the terms that would lead to the discovery of the Blind and Spongy dimensions and their practical implications. At the time, the theory was considered enlightening and fascinating but the practical importance was completely missed. 

During mid-ancient times, at the University of Memphix, the aging teacher Elluil Pattonetti would entertain a personal fascination with the antics of Sitanu and begin to explore his works, first with amusement and later with growing excitement. He would strike down several keys mistakes in the math and let the numbers drive his ideas rather than the other way around as Sitanu had. Elluil Pattonetti would be the first to describe the basic properties of the dimensions and name them as the 3 Tangible, 2 Temporal, 2 Manifold, 3 Elegant, and 3 Vague dimensions. His work was predominantly theoretical until he took on the young protégé Lucil Zyrne who pushed him to pursue tangible, aggressive experiments near the end of his career. While Elluil Pattonetti would never see the physical results of his work, Zyrne would go on to clearly demonstrate the way gravity manifests in the Tangible dimensions by emission of gravites in the Elegant dimensions and subsequent conduction and decay throughout the Manifold. The display would lead to a flurry of research, theories, and prototypes by both the scientific and corporate communities and eventually cause the development of the original Pattonetti Grav drive and Grapro gravity projector.

Y’Hotha are motivated to develop the practical use of rotated particles after learning about their enormous energy potential when disastrous experiments level a lab complex.

It would be some time later, in early Archaic times, when Clayne Daggon, working for the Core Council of Sciences, would stumble upon the function of one of the Vague dimensions in maintaining a particle’s dimensional orientation and stability. He would rename the dimension the Blind dimension and his ideas would lead to another frenzy of research and development efforts that lead, from various sources, to the practical use of rotated particles as weapons and power sources.  The technology spread rapidly through the Core Commonwealth, Bjaki Federation, Kharkosanth Empire and subsequently the other empires, by trade pacts and fledgling corporations like Tzar and Azatlath.

Celendreinnes steal rotated particle theories from Y’Hotha giving the technology to the Makkuth Dynasty.

Skalds capture the technology from the Makkuth.

Hel Nargorest and a team of Kharkosanth scientists would discover the relationship between the Blind, Manifold, and Vague dimensions that allowed rotated particles to interconnect specific, separated points in the Tangible dimensions. His writings would remain primarily within the hands of the IDC but, through targeted corporate espionage, would spread to the Core Commonwealth rapidly. In the early days of Antiquity, the Imperial Design Corps would develop working String Drives. Soon after, a variation of the drive would appear in the Core Commonwealth, developed by a team consisting of San Jorge Industries, the Lexicon Group, and Elegant Particles Laboratories.  Several variations of the string drive currently exist, one maintained and controlled by the IDC and several sold proprietarily on the open market by San Jorge and Azatlath Advanced Construction.

The Elegant Dimensions
The work of Pattonetti and Zyrne revealed the mysterious activities that occur in 3 Elegant dimensions. Their first glimpse was the workings of previously elusive gravity and they were the first to determine the relationship of the emission of gravites in the Elegant dimensions and their subsequent transmission and decay in the Manifold dimensions. Almost as soon as Zyrne postulated the idea that a device could manipulate gravity at a distance by stimulating gravite emission, corporations were marketing the Pattonetti grav drive and grapro guns. Zyrne and others would go on to discover the other peculiar emissions and transmissions of unique, Elegant particles and energies but the discovery of the mechanics of gravity will perhaps always remain the most exciting and practical.  

From an understanding of these fundamental physical concepts come Rotated Particles, which provide the basis for many of our modern technologies.
