Radix

strong and weak) by drawing on the ubiquitous and infinite flux of virtual particles. (See Subquantal Field.)
Flexform: modular furniture popular at CIRCLE.
Flex-routine: a slow physical exercise designed to stretch systematically all the muscle groups in the body; mod-eled by the eo on the Chinese pa kua.
Geepa bean: a mutant perennial tall-growing bean with blue cordate leaves and large panicles of fragrant and highly nutritious seeds, ranging in color from red to green and black; the geepa bean first appeared among the explosion of mutations that resulted from the influx of Linergy and cosmic radiation around 2035 kro; within five hundred years of its appearance, because of the vine's adaptability and extraordinary capacity to "digest" rock and unlock precious nutrients, it was the dominant vine on the planet; it is the primary food-source for most of the world's people, since it is high in protein complexes that are easily assimilable; voors call it homefruit.
Ghosting: the region between lynks; it is of indefinite metrics but confined by four-space symmetry
(isospace parame-ters) to discrete and exact mass replication (including pramatter, that is, mass's substanceless values: spin, par-ity, isospin, and strangeness), which is precisely why what goes in one lynk always comes out another lynk the same.
Glastic: an ultrahigh molecular weight, thermosetting poly-mer of boron oxide that has the colloidal properties of glass with the ductility of plastic.
Goat Nebula: a supernova in the kro constellation Serpens Caput.
Godmind: consciousness that transmutes and willfully directs Linergy; the human experience of this is
mytho-culturally associated with divinity, since the ego becomes the pivot for a tremendous amount of power; this numinous sense, however, is illusory, because the godmind is limited to affecting local phenomena and is itself influenced by other godminds and the infinitude of the multiverse. (See Realityshaping.)
Graaclass="underline" a geography set aside by the eo for the godminds to occupy while on earth; it covered all of kro South Amer-ica and included Ausbok, Oxact, CIRCLE, and numer-ous biotectured villages for the pleasure of godminds; Rubeus was responsible for its maintenance.
Grin: a yawp deprecatory term for human being.
Hellraiders: the Masseboth first-strike force.
Hind rats: large bipedal rodents that are razorfanged and aggressive.
Holoman: three-dimensional laser projections usually accom-panied by wide-range sensory details.
Howlie: a derogatory voor term for human beings; voors communicate soundlessly, through telepathy.
Immanence: a yawp expression for the psychokinetic bliss experienced under the influence of kiutl.
Invex: a mantic brain-mind correlator; a technique for re-viewing the mental experiences of a subject; a crude mindscan used primarily to monitor yawp intelligence and weed out mental variants.
Iz: the voors' "wind of the longer distance," the name given by voors to the Line and the phenomenon of their psy-chic interreaction with the Line, more exactly, it is the continuity of the voors' experience within the Line, a voor eigentime in which an individual voor may exist both in the time-directed structure of gravitational space and out of causality in a space where the world-horizon is spherical; within the Line (Iz), all voors exist, always.
Kha: biospectral energy; bodylight; the subtle cellular lumi-nescence radiated by all living organisms. (See Psynergy.)
Kili: a Masseboth game of skill played with three marbles and a triangle; similar to the kro game of billiards.
Kiutclass="underline" a glassy-stemmed herb with blood-red stipulate leaves and blue cleistogamous flowers; the leaves and flowers are rich in an indole-free psiberant which endows strong telepathic properties when consumed; this plant is cher-ished by the voors.
Kro: the term designating the people who dominated the earth before the Line exerted its influence; protected by a magnetic field around the earth and a clement sun, they thrived on their self-absorption and paid only cur-sory attention to the cosmos that surrounded them.
Lami: originally, the yawp designation for the divine embodi-ment of the kiutl plant; later, incorporated into the Mutric mythos as the Sister of Night.
Lifelove (the lifeforce): a psychic and organic integration; nous and physis harmoniously melled.
Line: a hypertube; the timelike geodesies which connect the spacefree internal domain of a naked Kerr-singularity (a rotating black hole that is "open" to our universe); CIR-CLE mantics first identified the ray of metafrequency energy jetstreaming from the massive black hole at the galactic hub as the Line; earth migrated into the flux of the Line fully in 2113 kro, though the transmuting ef-fects of this atypical energy had been altering the planet for over a century. (See Linergy.)
Liner: a craft that uses Linergy to power itself through the timelike hypertube of the Line, traveling the Kal-uza-Klein Continuum between and through open black holes.
Linergy: the quantized energy of the Line; the energy emerges as pure photons of hyperfrequencies but it swiftly geom-etrizes into nucleons of lower energy; very few of the original photons reach earth; those that do contain "in-formation" from the domain of an infinite Field outside our open, expanding Lobatchevskian world.
Llyr: kro Venus.
Lune: an insane person.
Lusk: voor possession; the voor dominance of another physi-cal form.
Lynk: an opening into an internal space-time system with a direct time-arrow; two lynks with the same
time-arrow create a space corridor; a device for crossing any distance within the local curvature of space-time.
Macheoe: kro Mercury.
Mage: a voor with strong timeloose powers.
Magnar: the spiritual leader of the Serbota; Bonescrolls. (See Profile.)
Mantic: a human brain coupled to an ATP-pump; this me-chanical means of extending intelligence was devised and utilized in CIRCLE; because of the man tic insistence on thinking in dialectical schema, they were obviated when the earth entered into the emergent, pluralistic reality of the multiverse.
Masseboth (literally, the Pillars): a human society aided by the eo and disdainful of distorts; it was founded by the eo seven hundred years after the collapse of CIRCLE; the eo's intent was to create a stable, self-sustaining gene pool; Rubeus also helped to sustain this society, and over the five hundred years of its history he insinuated his influence into the government and was instrumental in shaping its politics.
Masseclass="underline" the language spoken by the Masseboth.
Mentis: a reed grass with black, red-veined stalks, the juice of which is a potent stimulant.
Metaorder: degrees of coherency and relation on subquantal levels.
Mindark: the psychic space of consciousness.
Mounting kha: See Earthdreaming.
Muckeclass="underline" Massel slang for kiutl.
Multiverse: the subquantal Field; the "internal" structure of the universe outside of time where all possible uni-verses exist; this nth-dimensional domain is a reality at the core of all black holes; in some rotating, assymet-rically collapsed black holes, this core is not shielded by an event horizon and "information" from the multi-verse enters the Einstein-space of our universe. (See Line.)
Mutra: chief deity worshipped in the Masseboth Protector-ate, Mother of Fragments; a revival of the Mother-cults from pre-kro times.
Nadjille: kro Uranus.
Ne: androgynous distorts of the Serbota tribe: usually tele-pathic and tactilely deft.
Ne-futhorc: a runic alphabet employed among androgynous distorts tribally separated but culturally one-with.

No-face: featureless humanoid ort.
