Many of the threshold devices that will be built to probe the Ravel will require harnessing sustainable energy. Since a significant portion of our activity about breaching the Ravel will be ritualistic and narrative – which is to say energetic – it makes sense that a significant portion of our technical endeavoring will also be about energy. Or, to be more specific – about the creation and application of energy for the sake of of adorning and transforming physical environments (primarily via light and sound).
Another way of saying this is: Allen and David are not expert dimension breachers, but from their initial research it seems clear that most inter-dimensional transport and communication requires energy (Many of the gates we have seen include illuminating runes). Dimensional borders are more sensitive to intent and process than other kinds of material. So, in order to power many of our Portals, campers are going to have to learn how to produce/harvest energy in a way that will not be offensive to the inter-dimensional borders.
