miktrtion

Miktrtion is a fictional elementary particle proposed as a mediator of nonlocal information transfer in hypothetical quantum networks. In science-fiction narratives, miktrtion-like excitations couple weakly to standard-model fields and can convey correlations without the exchange of conventional energy.

The term was introduced in speculative literature as a portmanteau of micro- and triton, intended to evoke a small, elusive quantum excitation. It appears primarily in science fiction and in thought experiments about distributed information flow. There is no empirical evidence for a real particle by this name.

Because miktrtion is a fictional construct, proposed properties vary across works. Common assumptions include minimal interaction with ordinary matter, the ability to propagate across networks or lattices, and the encoding of information in its quantum state. Theoretical treatments use it to explore questions of nonlocality, causality, and the limits of information transfer that do not rely on ordinary energy exchange. In real physics, information channels are described using photons or other established carriers.

Miktrtion is used as a narrative device in science fiction and as a pedagogical tool in discussions of information theory. Critics and writers emphasize that it invites consideration of the physical plausibility of non-energy-based information transfer and the boundary between speculative ideas and established science.
