In 103 P.A. a philosopher named Philethone described the smallest piece of material; a mote of which there could be no division, a fundamental unit of matter which came to be called the atom. [1] Things have gotten more complicated since then. See appended document 23-A for a primer on currently understood atomic alchemy and a chart of all currently derived elemental atoms. Philethone had more to say, of course. Namely that women were a separate parasitic breed of creature created by a second god that lived beneath the world, a claim which is currently unsubstantiated by the bureau, and largely conflicts with the universe's current cosmotheology. [2] [3] See appended document 24-A for a brief primer on classical Philethonian philosophies on gender, and appended document 24-B for Anaya Dknurr's 'Modern Gender Politik and the Shadow of Philethonic Misogyny.' Philethone had one other, vital theory, written upon fourty-eight mirror-polished sheets of silver flattened from his reward in denari for designing the Prison of Glass. This was the last work he ever published before being killed and eaten by his long time rival and castigator, Mastigione, and it may be the most important alchemical text ever created. [4]
Philethone's Axionic theory is thus; Atoms are the smallest division of physical matter, Axions are the smallest unit of Law. Furthermore, using a telescope, Kamera Obscure, and a weighted token (often translated as denari, but was more likely a special carving of wood or bone used for gambling,) [17] Philethon determined that sunlight was capable of altering probability. Or rather, that a lack of sunlight altered the properties of the unobserved in significant ways. [18] See Figure 19 for a graphical depiction of this experiment.
Modern Axionic theory is far removed from the primitive chance-based haruspicy that Philethone engaged in. The Langley-Shoru experiment (More commonly called Langley device, accounting for Tepelev Shoru's arrest following the hallmark 1548 Federal Tribunal case criminalizing "Hunter-Killer cannibalism,") first implemented the "candle in a dark room effect" to empirically observe Axions and their properties directly. The results were historic. [35] While the Axionic sciences are still in their infancy, their use has become an indespensible component in modern industrial alchemy. Indeed, the formation of the Southern Antrpol Commercial Agglomerate, its eventual collapse to Communist barbarism, and forceful reformation into the Dhristvailian Annex can all be directly attributed to putting Axionic theory to practice. [36]
In broad terms, Modern Axionic Theory states that the Sun, which is held within the rails placed for it by the Archons, is the source of all Law, which manifests as a particle called an Axion. Axions emit a field of law, a particle interaction similar to magnetism which causes moderates the actions of all objects within. Speaking colloquially; Sunlight enforces the laws of creation. This can be easily observed in the "Chotuv Deep Well Incident." See appended document 47-A for a copy of the Antrpol Tribunal dedicated to the grisly accident, and appended documents 47-B, C and D for the autopsy heliotypes of the three resulting bodies. See appended documents 47-E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, and N for dental records and personality profiles of the original ten engineers. This Interaction can be seen in the (depreciated) [48] Saburov equation. Note that while modern Alchemists prefer the [49] Leinski-Sacches equation for industrial applications, the Saburov equation with experimental constants is fully sufficient for engineering operations, hazard assessment protocols, and legal deniability. [50]
The modern Langley device uses a triplicate extrusion chamber created of shaldqin [54] though the prototype revealed at the 1647 World's Fair included a "deep layer internal focus chamber" created solely from Nocturnal materials. [55] This design would allow for theoretically impossible internal alchemical manufacturing; which Osmund Bertajii described as "The key to the Architect's prison; the philosopher's stone at last realized. Langley's sublime genius finally given manifest form." [56] The Bureau has extended lines of communication to the three living Langley Khaibit, which have unfortunately proven unproductive. While modern Langley devices use a baseline of 1.83*10^-13 ꙮ, [57] the prototype could reach the theoretical minimum of 6.66*10^-27 ꙮ, provided the outer shell were built in a sub-marine Stelle along the Kuvaddich coastline- the Ultima Thule of Axionic pollution. See appended document 50 for calculations. A modern Langley device uses Axionic stimulation via controlled coldfire-sunstone detonation on a diaphenous internal shaldqin-2 membrane while the internal environment is regulated by a series of pumps which removed the humourous media and filter it through another shaldqin membrane to remove axionic media. [58] Precipitation and manipulation of quasi-nocturnal chemicals is done through use of tertiary internal chambers- though the necessity of using real materials is a potential limiter, requiring a minimal axionic threshold to maintain physical identity. [59] Separation of axionic media and quasi-nocturnal product is crucial, an axionic contamination could render the final product useless or worse. See appended document 51-A for a comprehensive list of all documented Langley device axiom contamination pseudo-material disasters.
Shoru Tepelev's comments on the device were recorded, but not published, by the Alchemia Regalia journal, which they were willing to share with the bureau when requested. See appended document 51-A for public response to the device during the fair, and 52-B for response afterwards by alchemical journals. On review, it seems the Tepelev's comments were simply not incendiary enough for tabloid publishing; "It's a good idea. Every factory in Qolnorra should buy one."
