Subcommander Kozo Fuyutsuki was a professor of Metapysical Biology, which seems to be the "science of the soul" that lets humans build Evas and analyze AT fields.Dartz Wrote:It occurs to me while sipping on tea during my lunchbreak that, if the Universal Theory of Magic is related to the Universal Theory of Everything, then it's entirely possible for a previously non-magical culture with no magical traditions beyond illusions to discover it, and call it 'new physics', or metaphysics or something beyond quantum physics, and slap it with a big fat 'advanced science' label.Like perhaps MGLN's Time-Space Administration Bureau? I can completely believe that, especially given how math heavy Nanoha magic is supposed to be and how it's noted that there are hundreds of different special gifts that predispose ones magic one way or another.
Perhaps the TSAB or rather, one of its predecessors eventually stumbled upon the Universal Theory of Magic and integrated it into its understanding?
