RPGDL Discussion / Wave Science Lecture #4

Hi everyone, I'm back! Took me a while to keep Meul out of this corner, but fear not, for I have returned safely. Now, where did Frelia leave off... the difference in the body structures of Third Generation RTs.. and Origins!!!?  Huh?  Ummm... it is somewhat embarrassing to talk about the inside of my own body, so.... let's just go over the Third Generation RTs this time.

Now, as far as the difference between the Third Generation RTs and Beta Pure Blood Types are concerned, they actually aren't that complicated. The Third Generation RTs have a body like humans, which aren't solely composed of H Waves and are capable of natural growth and aging(thus they continue to age after they reach 18). This also means, however, that they don't have the Core Triangular Ring, which is artificially created.  Other than this, they inherit most characteristics of a Beta Pure Blood Type.

This also leads to a potentially fatal crisis for the Third Generation RTs, as the RT's body parts need to be materialized constantly by the Dynamic H Waves released from the Ring. Thus, Third Generation RTs need a new source of Dynamic H Waves in order to maintain their body, and unfortunately that new source becomes their own Static H Waves. A part of NEE(the RT's internal life sustaining system) called the HD Conversion Ring automatically triggers once it detects a lack of Dynamic H Wave supplies; this will vibrate the RT's own Static H Waves to convert them into Dynamic H Waves to sustain the body... but this is nothing short of suicidal.  The RT is burdened with extra wave frequency while in this state, and by the time they reach age 18, the demands for Dynamic H Waves would get so huge that the vibrations of the Static H Waves would surpass the body's natural ability to revert them, ultimately killing the RT.

This is the very reason why a Third Generation RT needs to install the Diquility Crystal every three months to survive. Diquility Crystals are solidified blocks of high purity Static H Waves that posses no characteristics.  They will be fed into the HD Conversion Ring once installed and become the source of Dynamic H Waves in place of the RT's own Static H Waves until it the block is fully converted, which takes place over three months.

And here is where we'll end today's lecture.  Now that I think about it, I really should get Diquility socialized here like Metafalss does. Tenba has profited from it for long enough now. Making Diquility more accessible would probably elevate the RTs' status in Sol Ciel too...

RPGDL Discussion / Wave Science Lecture #1

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Wave Science Lecture. This lecture will be replacing the Fact Center for a short time to provide you detailed lectures on the wave sciences from the planet of Sol Ciel.  I am Shurelia, the administrator of Ar Tonelico First Tower, and I shall be hosting these lectures. Now, let us begin.

All the phenomena in our universe, whether physical or astral, are composed of various complicated sequence of waves. There are 8 types of waves in total: R, N, Tz, D, Vx, K, H, and S waves. All the waves can also be found in two forms, as either Dynamic Waves or Static Waves. Dynamic Waves can be described simply as energy; heat, light, magical power, and so on. Static Waves are the power that maintains existence, the waves that allow an entity to exist as it is. You can picture it as an aggregation of molecules or as an "existence" in and of itself.

Among these waves, the Detail Wave (D Wave) will be our subject today. They are the ether waves that compose all physical existences and phenomena. Matter is composed of Static D Waves, which themselves are formed through the crossing of a number of Dynamic D Waves from multiple vectors colliding.  The point at which the waves meet is known as a Minimal Point.  Dynamic D Waves by themselves are physical energies traveling in a specific direction which are unbalanced when alone but can stabilize when they cross and form Static D Waves.  The resulting Static D Waves can have nearly infinite resulting forms based on the spectrum, vibration, and  travel direction of the individual waves that make them up. For example, the Static D Wave of solid steel has been identified to be formed from the crossing of five separate Dynamic D Waves of various frequencies arriving from five separate directions.  Based on this, a Static D Wave is the force of multiple Dynamic D Waves exerted from specific directions at the Minimal Point, therefore Static D Waves do not travel as they will always remain on the Minimal Point(for example, a piece of solid steel does not move around by itself despite the waves that compose it moving constantly). Also, the physical state of the matter formed changes as the spectrum, vibration, and direction of the crossing waves change. The frequency of the Static D wave can range from 1Hz up, with no known end to how high it can reach. The higher the frequency, the higher the density of the resulting matter. Up to 20kHz would be air, up to 56MHz would be liquid, and up to 2.16GHz would be solid. Matter with frequency higher than 2.16GHz is yet to be identified.

Thus, to put it simply, Dynamic D Waves are pure physical energy which become Static D Waves and form actual matter when they cross. When the stability of the Static D Wave is broken, it will cause a change in the matter which it forms.

Dynamic D Waves can also be produced by Hymnos Magic. Skipping all the details, Hymnos Magic functions by releasing Dynamic D Waves from Ar Tonelico's Hymnos Magic Server. Thus, instead of being some form of super natural phenomenon, Hymnos Magic is just using the tower to exert a third party Dynamic D Wave to cause changes in physical matter.

So, in conclusion, to make a simple example between the Static and Dynamic D Waves, just think of water and ice as Static D Waves and the energy that changes water to ice or ice to water as a Dynamic D Wave. All clear now? Good. This will be all for today's lecture, remember to return next time for the lesson on Hymnos Waves.
