Dark Matter Scaffolding
Dark matter comprises approximately 27% of the total energy content of the JRPG2 universe but is invisible to standard sensors. The Beck Protocol treats dark matter as a D5 dimensional field — a projection of higher-dimensional geometry onto the D3 matter frame. Players with sufficient dimensional research unlocks can visualize dark matter halos around galaxies and map their scaffolding structure. Dark matter scaffolding provides the preferred pathways for foldspace transit between star systems.
Dark energy accounts for approximately 68% of the total energy in JRPG2 and drives the accelerating expansion of the universe. The Beck Protocol models dark energy as a vacuum topology pressure — a D7 field resisting the contraction of space. Advanced Type IV+ players can tap dark energy through vacuum topology engineering techniques in the NK3 Reactor system, converting expansion pressure into usable dimensional energy.
