Simulacrum weave

The simulacrum weave is a fundamental structure of the Universe. It represents reality; that is, how matter exists and interacts with other instances of matter. The weave is comprised of several fields, each of which preside over different sets of reality-governing rules. Such rules include fundamental interactions, macrophysical laws, quantum behaviour, time, and space. The fields are considered 'woven together', such that alterations, either natural or man-made, to any single field will often affect other fields in unpredictable ways. Epiphysics and lachesics are the scientific study into the weave and technologies that can alter it.
