- Oakley informs of upcoming Morphic event, need a local asset
Morphic experiments have been going on since the late 1960s in various laboratories and scientific thinktanks. They were first proposed as a side effect of early string theory research.
While most experiments outside of Aeternus have been unable to establish any provable form of Morphic resonance, we believe a number of instances have actually successfully established connections across different branes, however the fractal distance was low enough that results were identical to a non-functioning resonance.
Additionally, it appears that some form of observer's paradox applies to the instantiation of spaciotemporal events, as experiments limited to closed systems have achieved far lower fractal distances as those exposed to a large potential population.
This has the benefit of allowing us to keep track of potential Morphic experiments outside of Aeternus, however other than the 2014 RZ incident, no known Morphic experiments have taken place.
