        I like the Void Engineer Paradigim page but have one problem with
it:
> Prime: This sphere doesnot exist in the Void Engineer Paradigm.
        Evidence supports the fact that it does.  In the Chantries book, it
points out the VE's can siphon quintessence from the Deep Umbra, and use this
rather than nodes to power their umbral realms.  It also states that they
refuse to share this technology with the other technomancers.  Now, how could
they siphon something and not reveal their siphoning technology if they
aren't aware it exists?  They can't.
        Heres a VE view of prime:
Prime:  Uncollapsed Continuum - Just like quantum mechanical particles, there
is no way to define a portion of the continuum unless it has interacted with
the rest of the continuum.  Continuum that has not yet interacted with the
rest of the universe exists as a probability function until quantified, at which point the continuum collapses into a single thing.
        Manipulating Uncollapsed Continuum is a difficuly skill but very useful
as it allows the "creation" of mater and energy.  It can be sensed and gathered without interaction with the continuum tough special observation of the
continuum itself.  Sometimes it enters a physical form without completely
collapsing (Tass).  Some places gather Uncollapsed Continuum naturally.
We can control what an uncollapsed continuum collapses into by observing it
in a particular manner.  Because the continuum is all-encompasing, it can be
collapsed into chaotic forms which assist any other technological process in
being effective.

        I know, it got wordy, but there it is.
