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 ismytho-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 sametime-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.
