railjack terminology notes #1
• fission tanks - physical equipment; to be "scrubbed, grounded, and flushed"
• cogitators - digital hardware/requires software maintenance; to be defragged and updated periodically for optimal tactical algorithmic processing; comes from cogitate, "to think about"
• nacelles - port and starboard. experience carbon buildup and must be cleared periodically
• control surfaces - occasionally require recalibration
• confluence aggregator - this one could be quantum in nature. confluence = the meeting point between two items, streams, or events; aggregation is the combination of said items. possible space-time alignment function? increases orgone efficiency
• orgone/orgone energy - irl this is an esoteric, pseudoscientific energy that exists outside the bounds of normal measurement! the confluence aggregator is absolutely quantum equipment! in the railjack, orgone is stored in orgone accumulators.
• orgone accumulators - storage vessels/some kind of catch for excessive energy runoff. safely contain and prevent excessive negentropy occurrence.
• negentropy - this is like anti-entropy! or, where the concept of entropy looks at chaos, at the dispersal, or systemic loss of energy, negentropy looks at order, or the symmetry of systems. it isn't energy itself, and doesn't balance out entropy; it's described as the distance from normality. too much negentropy buildup during flight is bad; the presence of too much orgone increases the risk of negentropy buildup?
