-====== Aeon Degeneracy ======
-Degeneracy state Aeons (sometimes described as 'uppercase aeons') are a form of the aeon with massive potential for exploitation in war as energy storage and weaponry.
-===== About =====
-Degenerate matter is a state of non-interacting particles with pressure and other physical characteristics determined by quantum mechanical effects.
-In quantum mechanics, free particles are limited to a finite volume or size and take only a discrete set of energy states called quantum states (for example, the Pauli Exclusion Principle prevents identical fermions from occupying the same quantum state and position). At the lowest energy quantum state (when the thermal energy of particles is negliable) the lowest quantum state is filled (in a condition referred to as full degeneracy). At this point, particles can be overlapped under a compression force via resisting pressure. Returning their energy means the Pauli Exclusion Principle then means equal pressure comes from all sides - the particles “glitching” into a locked state where they cannot escape one another.
-==== Simple physics ====
-In simple terms, particles can be locked ontop of eachother occupying the same space when at a low energy state and then massive quantities of energy made to occupy that space. In this state, particles have many strange behaviors: most noticeably a very high maximum potential energy state and in some cases, no theoretical maximum.
-=== Applications ===
-Weapons using degeneracy aeons are essentially beam or particle weapons. Unfortunately they can be stopped or redirected using magic by highly skilled users with proper skills and very specific training. Sometimes, degeneracy aeon weapons are used by magic users intentionally for this purpose for interesting secondary effects not possible. Typically these weapons are vehicle mounted or mounted on armor as their firing would otherwise harm their user. They are common starship grade weapons.
-==== In Singularity ====
-In terms of singularity, at densities greater than those supported by any degeneracy, gravity overwhelms all other forces and an artificial blackhole can be formed. In doing so, material must be converted from fermions in their degeneracy pressure to bosons. Degeneracy of monopoles were used to create the first aeons were created which were then seeded to tap further aeons.
