The Stillness

The Stillness is a common term for the hypothetical topological field structure out of which space-time emerges. Despite a lack of consensus on the nature of Stillness (see Stillness interpretations), associated experimental developments have yielded a range of important technologies (see Ergodic Reactor, Exotronics etc.). 

While Stillness shows a high degree of correlation with the topology of space-time, Still-effects also demonstrate properties of non-locality, which makes them indispensable for FTL applications.  

The study of Stillness is at the forefront of theoretical physics, with active research ongoing across multiple sub-disciplines (see Teleonomic Hypothesis, Knot Theory of Reality, Exohedron etc.).
