The Krest Effect


When you run the comb through your hair, it converts your relative rotational mass into relative kinetic energy. Therefore, relative to your surrounding environment, you are able to move very quickly. However, since the effect is relative, the relative rotational mass of your surrounding environment increases and its relative kinetic energy decreases. For this reason it seems to move very slowly.

Since objects in your surrounding environment have the same relative inertial mass that they originally did, they are not particularly difficult to move around. However, they are virtually impossible to rotate. For this reason it would have been very difficult for Joe to rotate Harold’s fingers to take the wallet or to tip Harold over. However, it would not have been difficult for Harold to take the cash from the register. Removing the cash from the register would have required motion, but very little rotation.

Air can move around without rotation, so it would be easy to move through air. Water cannot move around without rotation, so it would not be possible to move through water. In fact, it should be possible to walk on top of water.

The effect of the comb extends to any object that the user is attached to rotationally. For this reason, Joe was able to swing the shovel and move around in his clothing.

The Object Laws

1 The Law of Definition
"All Items removable from each other without the use of force, present in the Room 10 during The Event, are Objects"

That means the concept of the Shoelaces & Cigarettes all to be separate Objects, as you need not much effort to remove them without tools. Then again the cigarettes INSIDE the Cigarette case are one with the case. That would also mean the zipper on the pants to be one with the Pants as you need to use means of force as in a tool to rip it off...

2 The Law of Destruction
"The Object is frozen in the state it was in during The Event. Disturbing that State would result to the Destruction of The Object"

Law 2 Supplemention: In this case "frozen" does not mean same as "stopped in time" as we are able to use the Objects, all the moving parts move, canvas is flexible and (supposedly) the Occupant is able to eat and breath.

3 The Law of Conservation
"If an Object is destroyed inside the Room 10, another mundane object becomes an Object in it's place"

Combined with Laws 1 and 2, that would mean opening the sealed Cigarette case inside the Room would make the Cigarette case being destroyed, thus another object present, would take it's place.
However it is yet to be definied would that mean the opened Cigarette case would become mundane and thus become an Object again...

Law 3 Supplemention: Becoming a Replacement Object is "The Event" for the Replacement Object, meaning it's current state is to remain whole.

4 The Law of Attraction
"The Objects Attract each other. The closer the two Objects are, the harder it is for the Holders to keep from meeting"

Law 4 Supplemention: Objects are supposedly preferring to be located equal far away from each other as they were in the Room 10 during the Event.
