Veons

Veons are a term used in speculative fiction and some theoretical discussions to denote a hypothetical class of quanta that mediate information or exotic forces. There is no canonical definition; different works describe Veons with varying properties, and the term is not standardized across disciplines.

In many fictional depictions, Veons are massless or near-massless particles that travel at or near the speed of light and form networks linking distant locations or minds. This Veon network is often shown enabling instantaneous communication, real-time data transfer, or remote sensing across vast distances. Some portrayals assign Veons a role as a hidden-sector gauge boson, coupling weakly to ordinary matter and to advanced technologies, while others describe Veons as carriers of consciousness or intention.

In scientific speculative discussions, Veons may serve as a convenient shorthand for hypothetical information quanta that underlie proposed quantum networks or holographic models. They are typically described as elusive and difficult to detect, with uncertain interactions with matter and energy. Because no empirical evidence supports their existence, Veons remain a theoretical or fictional construct rather than an established physical entity.

Cultural portrayals of Veons often depict them as luminous threads or geometric patterns that permeate space, capable of enabling novel phenomena such as faster-than-light communication or transformative propulsion. As a narrative or thought-experiment device, Veons are used to explore themes of connectivity, surveillance, and the ultimate limits of information transfer.
