[color=7CFC00]I decided to go ahead and write out something for that question; which superseded everything I was doing at the moment. Due to some fucking code-break, I can't seem to get it into the opening post properly. I'm going to go ahead and post it, here and work on fixing it here in a little bit.[/color]

[hider=Resonance Expanded]

[color=808080][i]Crumbs. You are really asking [b]me[/b] about Resonance. Are you not the one who came up with the concept?[/i][/color]

[color=7CFC00]Seriously...I thought I had all the answers. Turns out, I don't. So, why don't you do something; since you're going to be absent for a good chunk of the story...if I have my way.[/color]

 [color=808080][i]I see. Regardless of my status as a character, I suppose you intend to use me to pontificate in your place? As some form of "very meta" communicative methodolgy? Or would this be more in line with your idea of how to introduce core elements of the "mythos" you are trying to-[/i][/color]

 [color=7CFC00]People don't want to read me using you as a goddamn sock puppet all day. Certainly not with me using you to berate me. Resonance explanation, please.[/color]

 [color=808080][i]Resonance can most easily be equated to the antiquated idea of "chi", found present in many things; this reference-point is adequate because it gives us insight to the very nature of Resonance, which is, its self, a form of nature. All things contain some level of Resonance, as it is literally the Anchor that binds them to their plane of Corporeal Reality.  To understand Resonance, one first must understand the differentiation between the perceptions of Non-Entities and Prime Entities-[/i][/color]

[color=7CFC00]Not yet, they don't. That's for later. Stick to the basics.[/color]

 [color=808080][i]Simply put, Resonance is a stream of data that permeates what can be seen as Corporeal Reality...the place in which a Prime Entity's consciousness experiences mundane stimuli. This stream of data is more equatable to a moving body of water, rather than something that exists in a constant, but moving, form of stasis; leading to possibilities of areas with low Resonance concentrations. While a low Resonance denotes the first stages of a destabilizing zone in Corporeal Reality, there exist more tangible problems with high Resonance levels. Entities fully Anchored to Corporeal Reality, while usually being unable to harness Resonance without risking their "soul", or being outright unable...depending on which frame of time you observe, can be "infected" by prolonged exposure. "Infection" usually erodes the Resonance Pathways inside of a Natural Prime Entity rendering their entire existence as a part of Corporeal Reality moot; converting them into a Non-Entity form of being. Given that most Prime Entities have a very defined sense of "self", most accept the transition from Prime to Non-Entity as a form of "end"...leading them to become a part of Resonance, as a whole; their remnants broken down and used to Anchor other Resonance-touched objects or entities.

 It is, quite literally, the force of "animation" that allows a pre-determined entity, or object, to exist within Corporeal Reality. Without it, Corporeal Reality would be as malleable a concept as Null Reality. Humans have found how to harness Resonance, in their later years; through the use of "Esoterics", which is simply the study of so-called "Godspeak"...or, by the layman's phrasing, "Symbology". While they must use machines that function on and electronic and esoteric level, the true nature of Resonance is very much lost on most of the human sprawl. They see it as nothing more than a convenience, little aware that their influence reaches far beyond the small spheres they can see.[/i][/color]

 [color=7CFC00]You sound bitter. In explaining that, you mentioned a lot of things that probably need to be explained...at some point. Before I let you go, tell us a little about Symbology. Is Esoterics the same thing?[/color]

 [color=808080][i]While the common vernacular is to refer to them interchangeably, Symbology is a fairly common practice among humanity...and refers solely to the study of Symbols, or "Godspeak". Symbology is used in place of "magic" by humans, allowing the momentary re-arrangement of reality through the use of a stolen tongue that they do not fully comprehend. Esoterics refers to the study of Resonance, Symbology, Occult Sciences and other such hackneyed drivel. Suffice to say, the study of Esoterics vague. 

 Though, that does bring to mind the term "Esoteric Grid" which is used purely in the pursuit of Symbology. Before you ask, a Grid is an arrangement of symbols. A Grid can be composed of any number of Symbols that exceeds eight, and does not serve as a completely accurate measurement. Some Symbologists have created Grids that span thousands of characters, in their pursuits. That said, it is safe to say that Symbology draws directly from Resonance and tends to have adverse effects on those who would wield it.[/i][/color]

[color=7CFC00]Could one 'transcend' Corporeal Reality through the use of Esoterics or Symbology?[/color]

[color=808080][i]Probably, yes. Why do you ask?[/i][/color]

[color=7CFC00]Just curious. That's good, for now. Maybe I should make you explain everything.[/color]

 [color=7CFC00]Consider it a gift! I'm going to go ahead and start tapping out stuff like this for Pygmalion's Gallery, the Bond, Anchors and probably Talents. If anyone else has questions, I would be more than happy to answer them. Feel free to ask here, or via PM.

 Thanks, also, for your interest; [@sakurasan], [@AdobeFlash], and [@Stern Algorithm].[/color]

[hider=Edit][color=7CFC00]Yeah, it's Hamon/The Ripple. Pretty much. >.>

2nd) I am now wondering if that answered anything at all. If it didn't clear up any of the specifics you wanted, I can answer whatever those are.[/color][/hider]
