Glycerin is a sugar alcohol. It can be used as a lubricant, it can be found in food, or even in industrial ingredients. However, for 150 years, no one was able to crystalize it. Scientists even though that a solid form didn't exist.
Until one day, a barrel-full of glycerin on a British cargo ship was found to have completely crystalized while en route. Naturally this excited scientists worldwide, who wanted to research the new, crystalized form of glycerin, and began asking for samples of the seed.
A seed is a sample of the original crystalized substance. It's a starter for it. With a seed crystal, further crystallization of glycerin would be simple.
Only... something strange happened.
Not only did the glycerin samples that were introduced to seed crystals begin to crystalize, but other nearby samples did as well. And, what's more, the phenomenon continued to spread, until eventually, all glycerin in the world began to crystallize naturally when cooled to less than 64 degrees farenheit.
Before then, no matter how glycerin was cooled, it refused to crystalize. But once the crystallization had begun then, even if the preparation and storage methods hadn't changed....
[She finally looks up at him.]
It's almost like that first barrel of glycerin learned something... and the knowledge was able to spread. As if the crystals were able to communicate in some way that humans can't sense....
There are other examples too, which show information inexplicably spreading between mice, or even humans. The more people who passively know the solution to a puzzle, the more likely it is that you would be able to figure it out, even if they were on the other side of the world, if there was no possible way for that knowledge to have spread from them to you.
Do you see?
If there were people who were able to access the Morphogenetic Field more strongly....
Then they would know what other people knew. Or they would be able to influence that. Change it.
It was why they ran the Nonary Game. Aoi and I showed high potential from a Ganzfeld experiment. So they took us.
