THE SUBLIME ENTITY DEFINITION
A Sublime Entity occupies two states simultaneously, suppressing the intermediate state that would normally exist between them.
Mathematical form: S = α|state₁⟩ + β|state₂⟩ where |α|² + |β|² = 1
Same structure as quantum superposition — applied across domains.
The Sublime Threshold: The parameter value above which the entity must commit to one state. Below threshold → occupies both. Above threshold → intermediate state opens up.
Clausius-Clapeyron (sublimation form):
dP/dT = L_sub / (T × Δv)
Integrated: ln(P) = -L_sub/(R×T) + C → the sublimation curve
Triple point pressure determines whether a substance sublimes at pressure P:
If P < triple_point_pressure → substance sublimes (no liquid)
Carbon triple point: ~107 atm. At 1 atm: no liquid exists.
Helium triple point: none (never solidifies at 1 atm even at 0K).
