Barospace

**Barospace**, also known as **Baronavigatory Space** or **Gravnav Space** is a transcendental physical phenomenon that has been exploited by the Coalition of Congressional Republics in opening the stars for interstellar colonization via its faster-than-light travel possibilities. The terms specifically refer to the higher dimension that a subject entity travels at within a barobubble.

Mathematically ascertained to exist by a Terran physicist by the name of Dr. Vittore De Simone in 2066, the concept of baronavigatory space involves the breaching of the constraints of the third dimension *for* a third-dimensional object within a defined altered space (a "bubble"), and allowing it to navigate between spaces of reality through the full manipulation of an object's "brane state" through that bubble and its subsequent, fundamental interconnections with all other existent matter through gravitons, as expressed by supergravitational and supersymmetrical principles. This realization and further adaptation of the pre-existent Force-Tunneling Drive after the Second Martian-Terran War lead to the invention of the Tepiltzin-Csanád Drive in 2083 and the birth of humanity's collective interstellar empire.

## Dynamics

### Physical mechanics

De Simone rationalized the existence of Baronavigatory Space through the technical superimposition of all known supergravitational (and thereby supersymmetrical) physical phenomena currently known to humanity in the late 21st century into a single, unified theorem.

The "*de Simone Postulation*" promulgated the idea that locales, when defined as **branes** (a topological space with the potentiality to have any and all subsequent dimensions), have the ability to exhibit or even outright adopt higher dimensional properties through the keen expression of gravitic particles (gravitons). By default, all known space in the Universe is - within a p-brane mindset - "3-brane" in property. Thus, in order for higher dimensions to be temporarily expressed or adopted in locales within this 3-brane, calculation and expression of gravity must be undertaken to induce a "transitional" or "mimic state" within the parameters of a locale. This is because the intense use of gravitonic particles to undertake "overexcitation" of the fundamental field of gravity within a locale will yield a "dimensional perforation" and thereby access to breach higher dimensions.

When a locale within the 3-brane defined Universe enters the **transitional dimensional state** (or **mimic state**), newfound physical realities begin to express upon and from the locale. With the calculation of all known gravitons in an ideal location (i.e a warp endpoint) interacting with all known gravitons being exhibited from the subject locale in the TDS (i.e a ship to warp), the application of hyperinteractivity between these two generalized gravitational fields will allow for a quicker expression of the gravitational force in this faux-higher dimensional state. This will force the locale to disobey 3-brane physical notions and enter higher brane states of physics, and the full exploitation of the 11-dimensional spacetime will allow for phenomena such as faster-than-light speed for dimensionally elevated locales.

### Faster-than-light travel

The usage of the **Tepiltzin-Csanád Drive** allows for the ability of all spaceships larger than the drive itself to enter transitional dimensional states, and thereby be expressed as higher branes and utilize baronavigatory space. To chart a course to a warp endpoint, an access console or an artificial intelligence must be fed information pertaining to the exact gravitational phenomena of the locale to be warped (a ship's barobubble). When this is done, the Tepiltzin-Csanád Drive will spool up and begin to physically warp the gravitational field around the vessel, thereby making the gravitational field of the vessel "opaque" and thus able to breach its locale into a transitional dimensional state (thereby being expressed as a higher brane).

It must be noted that nearby objects to the locale may exhibit sudden gravitational interaction to the locale itself, but the speed at which mimic state can be achieved renders most threats of drawn-in objects null.

When a ship enters the mimic state, engagement of any thrusters and the onset of a vector of acceleration upon objects within the locale will be significantly enhanced depending on how broached the locale is into its brane state. For example, broaching into a 4-brane state will yield speeds only marginally faster than c, but 5-brane will allow for titanic acceleration that makes interstellar travel feasible. 11-brane mimic states have never been achieved, much like 7, 8, 9 and 10, but it is hypothesized that such speeds from the last mimic brane state will be faster in traversing third dimensional space than the size of the observable universe. The amount of energy needed to power entrance into the mimic state is exponentially related to the value of the target brane state itself; warping into a 6-brane state already requires experimental antimatter reactors, and 7-brane states are inaccessible by current energy technologies for starships.

When acceleration is applied onto a p-brane mimic state when **p > 3**, it will - to a third dimensional observer - traverse space faster than the laws of light speed will allow, effectively disappearing from all forms of telemetry. Even so, this does not allow any mimic states to transgress the bindings of time and thereby violate causality, as this is merely translocating third dimensional physical phenomena of a 3-brane onto a higher dimension and having accentuation of its otherwise natural vectors such as speed.

The question of the accentuation of properties such as mass and volume has also been asked until the advent of the Tepiltzin-Csanád Drive. When a ship enters the mimic state, the actual entity is unable to be observed due to the shift of the 3-brane locale onto a higher order. For example, an abstract 2-brane locale (sheet of paper) being raised from the surface of a desk indicates a 2-brane translocating across third dimensional space. All 2-brane entities cannot look "up" to see its shift, as it is physically impossible. However, matter and energy are still conserved in its mimic state translation, as it still exists within the confines of reality and the higher orders of the Universe proper.

The vessel is merely navigating through a higher dimension (referred to as the specific **Barospace**) through the assistance of gravitational connections across space between two particles as a "compass" (referred to as **barocompasses**). This allows its translocation in a three-dimensional mindset across the Universe without leaving its influences within the third dimension proper.
