The Metom is a class 0 subatomic Metomic particle. It is a central component of containment-recursive objects (i.e. the Box), containers embodying structural hierarchies, and negative-sized particles.[]
Interactions with space[]
Objects compromised of Metoms are more loosely affected by spatial law than universal matter. This yields spatial hyperfluidity, a state in which an object can contain or be contained by a space in ways contradictory to universal spatial law.
Examples of spatial hyperfluid states:
- Objects containing identical or near-identical copies of themselves
- Objects containing another bigger object
- Objects contained by a smaller object
- Objects with negative quantities of content
Limitations[]
Objects with an excessively vast size difference do not interact strongly enough to produce spatial hyperfluidity. Objects that are too large in size or distance fail to interact at all.
Metoms are also incapable of yielding sizes out of bounds relative to the surrea numbers. For non-surreal sizes (i.e. the size of Heck), Hettons are present.
Formation[]
Metoms are formed via the decay of a "confused" Protoverse cluster, or a cluster containing infinitely many Protoverses at one coordinate set.
The cluster formation is achievable via transferring clusters of Protoverses into a black hole of infinite mass. However, very few universes contain gravity laws and infinite amounts of matter.
