MOMO using the Hilbert Effect in Episode I.
The Hilbert Effect is an anti-Gnosis system used to draw the Gnosis into the real domain's plane of reality, allowing people to come into contact with them, instead of them being able to interact with the real domain's plane's matter at will. In the Lower Domain, this is known as converting Gnosis from the Imaginary Number Domain to the Real Number Domain. Using Hilbert waves is proven to be one of the few ways to even attempt to attack a Gnosis. Once the Hilbert Effect has dissipated, any Gnosis previously affected will return to their state of invulnerability.
The Hilbert Effect is usually only operated on spacecraft, with the purpose of dragging an entire army of Gnosis out of "limbo". Using advanced amplifiers, the waves can be spread over several thousands of kilometers, though no spacecraft has ever matched the incredible range of KOS-MOS, who can generate these waves from her person to at least one astronomical unit. The 100-Series Realians are also capable of generating these waves, but at very short ranges.
Hilbert waves can also be used to disable many high-end sensors using cross-interference. This means it also affects local systems as well. Most ships have buffering which helps to prevent this in open spaces. However, when the Hilbert Effect is used without amplifiers in enclosed spaces, all sensor systems are affected, and Ether based weaponry is rendered useless. Concentrated Hilbert waves can interfere with Realian systems as well, causing them to go insane and feral, but it appears to have no effect on humans.
Episode I database[]
KOS-MOS using the Hilbert Effect.
A device which generates a finitely bound realm (a "sensory" realm, to be exact), to enable an inter-section with the imaginary realm.
There are specific wave energies that exist in both the realms of real numbers and imaginary numbers. This device "interprets" such wave energies into a "common language," thereby allowing the physical realm to interact with the imaginary realm (the realm of Planck scales).
What this means, then, is that the Gnosis, which exist outside our physical laws, can effectively be dealt with using a physical, real-world approach.
Episode III database[]
KOS-MOS using the Hilbert Effect.
A limited perception field generation system developed as a method of reaching out from real space to interact with the Gnosis, which exist in imaginary space.
It makes interaction by real-world humans possible by translating imaginary-space pulsations into a "common language" and intentionally expanding the accessible area of imaginary space (normally Planck-scale sized). This also allows the use of everyday weapons against Gnosis, who ignore the laws of physics.
Usually, KOS-MOS can create a field of about 300,000 kilometers, but when using all her power, that field can expand to several million astronomical units. MOMO and 100-Series Observational Units can create a field with a range up to 100 kilometers using a special large-scale amplifier; without this device, however, they are limited to only a few hundred meters.
Etymology[]
The "Hilbert" from the Hilbert Effect is likely David Hilbert. In Hilbert's Program, Hilbert took on the task of grounding many mathematical theories in such a way that they could be consistent and be reduced to basic arithmetic. '
