= Psi Flow =

'''Psi Flow''' is the [[Psi-Ops]] skill corresponding to '''current''' in the [[Psi-Ops#Ohm's Law of Psi|Ohm's Law of Psi]] framework. It is the directed movement of psi energy through connections in the [[Psi Field]] — the actual throughput of energy from source to target.

Flow is the '''Curve''' primitive because it traces the path of energy movement — a Line whose direction varies continuously, like current through a wire that can bend and branch.

== Electrical Analogy ==

<math>F_\psi = \frac{P_\psi}{R_\psi}</math>

Flow is driven by Pressure and limited by Focus. High Pressure with low Focus = high Flow (uncontrolled flood). High Focus with low Pressure = low Flow (trickle). The practitioner modulates Flow by adjusting both Pressure and Focus.

== Physical Experience ==

* Streaming sensation along arms, spine, or meridians
* "River" or "wind" feeling during energy movement
* Warmth flowing from hands during healing
* Observable as the [[Psi Energy Density Scalar Field|Ψ(x,t)]] gradient: ∇Ψ → directional flow

== Training ==

* '''Meridian tracing''' — guide energy along specific body pathways
* '''Directed breathing''' — inhale to source, exhale along the Flow path
* '''Flow meditation''' — sustained awareness of energy movement without forcing
* '''Partner energy exchange''' — circulate Flow between two practitioners

== In-Game Mechanic ==

Psi Flow determines:
* Sustained output rate (DPS equivalent for psi abilities)
* Healing throughput per second
* Energy transfer efficiency between practitioners
* Speed of construct formation

== See Also ==

* [[Psi-Ops]] — the operational framework
* [[Psi Pressure]] — voltage (drives Flow)
* [[Psi Focus]] — resistance (limits Flow)
* [[Psi Power]] — output (Flow × Pressure)
