Condensate System

A system that has cooled to the point where its components lose individual identity and begin behaving as a single quantum entity—a macroscopic manifestation of microscopic coherence. Condensate systems are what happens when parts become so aligned that they function as one. Perfectly synchronized teams are condensate systems—individual egos dissolve into collective flow. Deeply aligned relationships can become condensate systems—two people thinking, feeling, acting as one. Religious congregations in moments of collective transcendence become condensate systems—individual boundaries blur into shared experience. Condensate systems are rare, precious, and fragile—warm them slightly and they dissolve back into separate particles. They're the closest most of us come to experiencing unity.
Example: "The jazz quartet played for three hours, and somewhere in the second set, they became a condensate system. Individual egos dissolved, conscious thought stopped, and the music played itself through them. Later, none of them could remember who'd played what—they'd become a single quantum entity, expressing itself through four bodies. The audience felt it too. Everyone left changed, though no one could say exactly how."
