The concept of 'Mossless Phit' began not with observation, but with resonance. It’s theorized that the initial manifestation was a subtle shift in the harmonic frequencies of the Chronal Drift – a region of spacetime where temporal distortions are particularly pronounced. This shift, initially undetectable by conventional instruments, manifested as a cascade of iridescent whispers, a 'Phit,' that subtly altered the perception of causality. The name, 'Mossless,' arose from the paradoxical observation that areas affected by the Phit exhibited a complete absence of moss growth, a phenomenon defying established botanical principles. It's speculated this is due to the temporal distortion effectively halting the decay processes associated with moss.
Further research indicates the Phit isn't merely a distortion; it’s a carrier. It carries fragments of potential realities, echoes of timelines that *could* have been. These fragments coalesce, forming what are termed ‘Nodes’ – localized concentrations of temporal instability. These Nodes are incredibly sensitive to intention; a focused thought, a strong emotion, can amplify their effect, leading to unpredictable temporal ripples.

Nodes aren’t static. They fluctuate in size and intensity, responding to external stimuli and, crucially, internal ones. A primary field of study involves mapping the ‘resonance signatures’ of these Nodes. These signatures are represented as complex, multi-dimensional patterns, visualized through a process called ‘Phit-Sensing,’ which utilizes a modified version of Quantum Entanglement mapping. The most common manifestations of Nodes are localized temporal loops – brief, repeating segments of time, often experienced as déjà vu, but with potentially far greater consequences. Others exhibit ‘Phase Bleeding’ - where objects or individuals briefly exist in multiple temporal planes simultaneously.

The Phit-Sensing Protocol is the cornerstone of our efforts to understand and, ultimately, to control the Phit. It’s a highly complex, iterative process involving several stages:

The study of Mossless Phit presents significant ethical challenges. The potential for manipulating temporal causality is immense, and even minor alterations could have catastrophic consequences. Strict protocols are in place, but the inherent unpredictability of the Phit demands a cautious and measured approach. The core tenet of our research is the Preservation of Temporal Integrity.
