Diffusion
When a Vestibule is open, it can only diffuse one way at once. The direction of load is determined by the pressure difference. When a Specialist opens their Vestibule with a higher density of Load inside their Chambers compared to the density outside, it causes the Vestibule to diffuse outward naturally, and vice versa.
- Vestibules can be freely opened and closed at will.
- The Load density of the area acts as the ceiling Specialists can fill their Chambers up to.
- Diffusing inward causes the area’s Load density around the Specialist to lower
- Diffusing outward causes the area’s Load density around the Specialist to increase.
- This creates pockets with lower or higher Load Densities temporarily.
Specialists can diffuse outward forcefully by exerting effort
- Upon the death of a Specialist, their Chambers gradually compress and collapse outward, diffusing Load back outward into the environment over time.
Overburdening
- When a Specialist enters Overburdened land, if the Load density is significantly greater than the size of their Chambers, they receive an empowering effect but physically burn out faster.
- The Load density masks the Load Signals of Specialists, with exception to those with Chambers sizes relative to the density.
