Kalaron-a

Unrelated note: I've decided on a "National Animal" for Scifi-Kalaron. Vorton Harmonic "Mice". In essence, cosmic strings that loop over themselves become a cosmic loop instead. Once so, charged loops are stable whereas uncharged loops use up all their energy as gravity and shrink apart. (<---real physics)
The bit I've added on is that Quantum lifeforms can exist that run along this loop. They feed off the charge stored in the loop and provide extra rigidity to it. They're harmonic because there's always an even number of "opposed" mice on these structure for counter-balancing, and because they can control the splitting of a Loop like a cell by subdividing. These also, incidentally, are one of the only means of detecting inactive Vortex Vorton Network exits (My instant FTL method from Ages Long Ago (TM)) ;p
