Further new experiences

Since the war ended, I've been busy attmepting to make ninjas out of the dancers RTI are looking after. Now, it seems the janitors, the guards, random vagabonds about the place and in fact everyone is interested in learning MatariBando! I think Eva's going to clear out a hangar for us to use.

In other, perhaps stranger, news I've stopped having the alternate future dream and instead found myself thinking quantum physics. Eva's recent podware malfunctions had me thinking about how our quantum fluidcomms work, based on twin particle entanglment allowing for FTL communications accross the galaxy.
All particles have a degree of entanglement from one another dependent on the chain of association from particle A to particle B. FTL comms have dedicated vacuum-created twin particles with but one degree of separation, meaning the probability quotients are up in the 99.99% range and therefore pretty reliable. If you try and calculate probability functions of 2 or 3 degrees, taking into consideration 'lost' data transmitted to the 'wrong' particles in the other degrees of link, then non-twin particules rapdily become useless for quantum information transmittance. This is all basic first year stuff anyone who has taken a quantum engineering course will know.

In my dreams, though, I think I'm starting to see how the degrees of entanglement can be compensated for by manipulating probability. This is achieved, paradoxically, by probing the degree of entanglement by quantum fluctuation and calculating the matching harmonics that need to be generated in order to direct the signal along the right path, which is calculated using the very probabilities that are in the process of being changed. That is the part I cannot seem to see my way around.

It's a bit like the Uncrtainty Principle: in detecting the movement vector of a particle you change it.

I think this is the tip of an iceberg. Scratch that, an entire ice planet...
