Extraphysical Mechanics Theory

A branch of speculative physics or metaphysics that posits mechanisms and interactions in dimensions, realms, or substances beyond the conventional physical universe (matter and energy). It asks: What are the "mechanics" of a soul? How does consciousness interact with a proposed "astral plane"? It seeks to extend the concept of mechanics—causal, structured interaction—into realms physics currently doesn't acknowledge, imagining the engineering of the transcendent.

Example: "The Extraphysical Mechanics Theory proposed that consciousness is a state of a 'psychon field' that permeates higher compactified dimensions. Near-death experiences occur when the brain's filter weakens, allowing the localized psychon knot (the soul) to partially perceive this extraphysical domain. It was a draft schematic for the hardware of the afterlife."

Extraphysical Theory

The general conceptual framework that posits the existence of realities, substances, or causations fundamentally beyond the physical universe as described by modern science. It's the philosophical or theological assertion that there is "more," without necessarily detailing the machinery. It sets the stage for extraphysical mechanics to later fill in the details.

Example: "Plato's Theory of Forms is a classic Extraphysical Theory. It asserts that beyond our physical world of shadows is a realm of perfect, immutable Ideas. It doesn't provide the mechanics of how a physical apple 'participates' in the Form of Apple-ness; it just establishes the two-tiered reality as a foundational principle."

Metaphysical Mechanics Theory

The attempt to describe the operational principles of the most fundamental aspects of reality: being, consciousness, identity, time, and causality. It's mechanics applied to first philosophy. How does causality work? What is the "mechanism" by which possibility becomes actuality? It's highly abstract, trying to sketch the wiring diagram of existence itself, often using logic and reason rather than empirical data.

*Example: "The philosopher's Metaphysical Mechanics Theory argued that time isn't a river but a 'block universe.' The mechanism of change is an illusion created by consciousness moving along a fixed world-line in the 4D block. His 'mechanics' were a logical model of how eternalism could function to produce our experience of succession."*

Metaphysical Theory

The broad, foundational branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of reality, existence, and the fundamental categories of being. It asks: What is real? What is the relationship between mind and matter? It provides the overarching questions and possible answers (idealism, materialism, dualism) within which more specific mechanical theories can be developed.

Example: "Materialism is a Metaphysical Theory. It asserts that everything that exists is ultimately physical matter and energy in motion. It's the big-picture stance. A 'Metaphysical Mechanics Theory' would then try to detail how,

Psionic Mechanics Theory

A subset of paranormal mechanics focused specifically on proposing scientific-sounding mechanisms for psionic abilities: telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance. It often borrows from electromagnetism, quantum theory, or hypothetical bio-fields to explain how a mind could affect matter or another mind at a distance. It's the tech spec for a psychic power.

Example: "The Psionic Mechanics Theory in the sci-fi novel stated that telepathy uses modulated tachyon bursts from the pineal gland. Telekinesis was the manipulation of the quantum vacuum with focused intention. It was a full-blown, faux-physics cheat sheet to make psychic powers feel like a plausible, if advanced, technology."

Psionic Theory

The general study and systematization of psionic phenomena as a coherent field. It might classify types of psionic talent, their strengths, and their manifestations (e.g., "Telepaths Class 1-5"), often drawing from parapsychology or sci-fi/fantasy world-building. It's the field guide, not the physics paper.

Example: "The RPG's Psionic Theory divided powers into Telepathy, Psychokinesis, and Clairsentience, each with skill trees. It provided rules for fatigue and resistance, creating a balanced, gameable system out of the idea of mind powers, without ever explaining the underlying 'how.'"

Psychic Mechanics Theory

Essentially synonymous with Psionic Mechanics Theory, but often with a slightly softer, more organic or spiritual connotation. Where "psionic" sounds technological, "psychic" might imply a natural, innate human potential. The mechanics might be framed in terms of "energy channels," "vibrations," or "morphogenetic fields" rather than tachyons.

Example: "The new-age healer's Psychic Mechanics Theory described auras as bio-plasmic energy fields, with clairvoyance working by 'resonating' your field with a distant person's to receive impressions. It was a biomechanical metaphor, painting the psychic as a sensitive organic instrument rather than a mental radio transmitter."
