  NELLIE (Neuron Processer): Abbreviation of Neuron Processing and Transfer/Three-Dimensional Display Interface developed in PSYCON for purposes of projecting brain patterns into visual display.

  Neurological Landscape: A term used in MetaPsychical Research to denote the overall picture produced by a patient during transmission of brain patterns (cf NELLIE).

  Observable Universe: The Hubble Radius of 13,000 million light years containing an estimated 3,000,000,000 galaxies.

  Planetary State: A naturally-occurring planet colonized by man.

  Planetoidal State: A man-made body which has been formed, shaped and set in orbit for the purposes of colonization.

  Pre-Colonization: The entire period of human history prior to man’s colonization of other worlds.

  Project Tempus: A program of collaboration between the planetary and planetoidal states whose aim is the practical investigation and exploration of Temporal Flux Centres by means of manned injection.

  Psycho-Med: Faculty of MyTT concerned with the psychological and physical preparation of the injectee prior to injection into Temporal Flux.

  Psy-Con: Psychological Concentration Camp organized and run by the MDA, situated on the continent of Australasia.

  PSYCON: Psychic Conservation Unit, the medical-experimental department of the Faculty of MetaPsychical Research.

  sat-Con-lab: satellite-Control laboratory orbiting on the periphery of a Temporal Flux region for command of and communication with Injection Vehicle.

  Scenario Planning Symposium: A conference of related sciences with the aim of establishing a cohesive policy for further research, in particular in relation to Project Tempus.

  Schwarzschild Radius: See Appendix II.

  Singularity: The region of infinite spacetime curvature at the dead centre of Temporal Flux where matter has been crushed out of existence and time has stopped.

  Tachyon: Sub-atomic particle which travels faster than lightspeed and is therefore ‘time-reversing’. Theoretically believed to be the basis for the precognitive faculty in human beings of future events.

  Temporal Flux Centre: A region of infinite spacetime curvature (cf Singularity) resulting from the collapse of an extremely massive star to within the critical Schwarzschild Radius.

  Temporal Flux Injection Vehicle: A spacetime craft endowed with cyberthetic intelligence capable of entering the ergosphere of a Temporal Flux Centre.

  TFC Lab: Temporal Flux Centre Laboratory, the nerve-centre through which all data are processed and instructions relayed.

  Theory of Synchronicity: As developed by Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli, the theory states that psi phenomena are examples of ‘meaningful coincidences’ which are linked in terms of meaning but have no causal relationship such that one thing or event gives rise to another.

  Time Dilation: See Appendix I.

  Time Throat: An area within a Temporal Flux Centre which leads to a mutiplicity of alternative universes.
