Engineering that operates at the Planck length (≈1.6×10^-35 meters), the fundamental lower limit of distance in modern physics. At this scale, the classical concepts of space and time break down, and quantum foam dominates. Technology here would involve manipulating the very "pixels" of spacetime, potentially creating stable wormholes, crafting universe bubbles, or building computational substrates where calculations are performed by the geometry of reality itself. It is the ultimate in miniaturization, where the tool and the fabric of existence are the same.
Planckscale Technologies Example: A Planckscale Engine would not move a ship through space, but would subtly rewrite the topology of spacetime in front of it, effectively moving the universe around the vessel. A weapon at this scale wouldn't destroy matter; it would delete the quantum information defining an object from the universe's ledger.
