= Psi Control =

'''Psi Control''' is the [[Psi-Ops]] skill corresponding to '''conductance''' in the [[Psi-Ops#Ohm's Law of Psi|Ohm's Law of Psi]] framework. It is the ability to regulate, switch, and fine-tune connections between psi circuit elements — determining ''where'' and ''how much'' energy goes to each target.

Control is the '''Line''' primitive because it determines connectivity — which Points are linked, in what direction, with what weight. The Line is the most basic relation: "this connects to that." Control is the skill of managing those connections.

== Electrical Analogy ==

<math>C_\psi = \frac{1}{R_\psi}</math>

Where Focus bounds and filters, Control selects and directs. High Control = ability to manage multiple connections simultaneously, adjust their relative strengths, and switch between targets rapidly.

== Physical Experience ==

* Precision — fine-tuning the direction and intensity of energy output
* Multi-target awareness — maintaining several connections at once
* Dimming and brightening specific connections at will
* The feeling of "steering" energy rather than just releasing it

== Training ==

* '''Multi-target exercises''' — maintain energy connection to 2+ targets simultaneously
* '''Dimmer drills''' — increase and decrease energy to a target in controlled increments
* '''Split-attention training''' — perform different psi tasks with each hand simultaneously
* '''Circuit switching''' — rapidly redirect Flow between different targets

== In-Game Mechanic ==

Psi Control determines:
* Number of simultaneous psi connections maintainable
* Precision of targeting and dosing
* Efficiency (less wasted energy during complex operations)
* Quality of group circuit coordination

== See Also ==

* [[Psi-Ops]] — the operational framework
* [[Psi Focus]] — resistance (what Control regulates)
* [[Psi Flow]] — current (what Control directs)
