Radiantie

Radiantie is a term used in some speculative physics discussions and in fictional settings to denote a quantitative measure of radiant energy in a region. It is not a standard quantity in mainstream physics, but it is described as a local density of radiant energy carried by electromagnetic radiation.

Definition: Radiantie is defined as the amount of radiant energy present per unit volume at a point, effectively the radiation energy density. In formal radiative transfer, the energy density u_r is related to the specific intensity I by u_r = (1/c) ∫ I dΩ over all directions; radiantie can be treated as a practical proxy for u_r in simplified models.

Properties: Radiantie is non-negative and evolves with sources and sinks such as emission and absorption, as well as transport processes. In anisotropic media, a tensor extension may be used to capture directional variations.

Applications and usage: In hypothetical models, radiantie helps couple radiation to matter without full angular dependence. In fictional worlds, radiantie energy powers glow, heat, or other phenomena depending on the setting.

Measurement and relation to other quantities: Radiantie should not be confused with radiance (intensity per area per solid angle) or radiant flux (energy per time). In practice, radiantie would be inferred from measurements of light fields using radiative-transfer equations.
