Dessian physics

Physics within the dess work differently than in our universe.

Elementulets

Dessian elements are made up of elementulets, comparable to subatomic particles like quarks. These elementulets come in six distinct vibes, all of which are given a minuscule character for identifiability. They are also differentiated by their mass, although their volume is consistently of around 0.68 fm each.

• The NP pair
  • Negalets (n, 1,21×10^-27 kg), with a negative vibe.
  • Posilets (p, 4,21×10^-27 kg) with a positive vibe.
• The UX pair
  • Neutrolets (u, 3,26×10^-27 kg) have a neutral vibe.
  • Xenolets (x, 6,21×10^-27 kg) have a funky vibe.
• The DZ pair
  • Diapherolets (d, 4,57×10^-27 kg) have an interesting vibe.
  • Pezolets (z, 2,02×10^-27 kg) have a mundane vibe.

Forces

The elementulets are all governed by a series of forces, regulated by their own particles, called dolets.

Common force

A chart displaying common and weird interactions.

The common force, governed by the common dolet (κ), binds elementulets together in a similar manner to gluons binding quarks. It does so by a similar mechanism to quarks' colour charges, called vibes. Vibes are always trying to stabilise into a calm form. The spacing between elementulets through the common dolet is of about 0,22 fm for strong binds and 0,46 fm for weak binds.

x	Weak	Repel	Strong	Strong Repel	Weak	Repel
d	Repel	Weak	Repel	Weak	Strong Repel	Strong
z	Weak	Repel	Weak	Repel	Strong	Strong Repel

Weird force

The weird force, governed by the weird dolet (π), also binds elementulets together. This force creates weird forms, that is, not calm, which if governed by the common force would break down instantly. The spacing between elementulets through the weird dolet is of about 0,18 fm for strong binds and 0,32 fm for weak binds.

x	Repel	Weak	Strong Repel	Strong	Repel	Weak
d	Weak	Repel	Weak	Repel	Strong	Strong Repel
z	Repel	Weak	Repel	Weak	Strong Repel	Strong

Elegant force

The elegant force or elegance, controlled by the elegant dolet (ψ), binds elements together. They do so by locking onto eachother in a jigsaw puzzle-like manner. These dolets come in two forms: the yes form and the no form. Yes binds to no and viceversa. They can change forms via a process called reconsideration. Yes-reconsideration converts yes to no, and creates a negalet, neutrolet or diapherolet as byproducts. No-reconsideration converts no to yes, and creates a posilet, xenolet or pezolet as byproducts. Every elementulet cluster generates elegant dolets, based on how strong their interactions are. No interactions make one of each. Strong binds make two, weak binds make one. Spacing between elements through the elegant force varies wildly with phase, varying between ~40,000 fm to ~220,000 fm.

Interesting force

The interesting force or interest, controlled by the interesting dolet (ρ), is analogous to the electromagnetic force of the cosmos, bearing striking similarity to it. Similarly to how ions bind by exchanging electrons, interest can also bind elements together through exchanging interesting dolets.

Cordial force

The cordial force or cordiality, governed by the cordial dolet (φ), binds large masses together, generating cordiality, analogous to gravity.

Dessian elements

Clunium (symbol Ⲕⲗ), a breathing metal, whose atoms are made of three pezolets each.

Dessian elements are analogous to cosmic elements. They are the building blocks of every material in the dess, and are made of elementulets strung together into a ring shape.

Desmism

Desmism represents the amount of connections present in an element's structure. Because of the nature of the binding forces, odd-numbered desmic groups will always be weird.

• Adesmic (D0) elements present no bonds, being entirely made out of one type of elementulet.
• Bidesmic (D2) elements present two bonds, thereby being made of two elementulets.
• Tridesmic (D3) elements present three bonds, and are therefore made of three elementulets.
• ... and so on and so forth.

Pentadesmic elements and above are highly unstable and will attempt to separate into smaller forms, releasing weird energy (not to be confused with the weird force) and heat as a byproduct.

They are further divided in groups according to certain common characteristics they share:

• The adesmic gases comprise all six adesmic elements. They have extremely low elegance and as such are very unreactive.
• The entegens are elements essential for entities to arise.
• The breathing metals are all solids that are prone to aranise.
• The uncouth elements have low elegance, all of them being ψ2 bidesmic elements, and aren't very reactive in general.
• The limerent elements are exclusively ψ4 bidesmic elements, and are more interestingly charged, forming interesting bonds more readily than elegant ones.
• The hyperdesmic elements comprise all elements above D4. They become quadratically more elegant and exponentially more unstable the higher the desmism.

Above these groups, elements are divided by their weirdness. That is, whether their elementulets are governed by the common or weird forces:

• The calm or κ-elements are elements whose elementulets are governed by the common force.
• The weird or π-elements are those whose elementulets are governed by the weird force.
