The power of just one such entity is on pair with a quantum computer and can easily perform such mappings. The concept is not very well defined yet, I'm still working on details. These entities are the ones that can perform transmutation of matter to energy and every human possesses them in their blood due to past events. They build themselves and aid the humans in various ways. | |

They can literally turn matter into energy with almost 100% efficiency. But if you have a more effective way of going about this I would like to hear out your idea | |
