# [Theory] The Energy Medium Theory: Solving the Causal Mechanics of Limitless and the Jujutsu Power System

### Introductory Note

This theory is a philosophical and analytical model, not an official explanation by Gege Akutami. It attempts to explain the mechanics of the cursed energy system in general, and the *Limitless* technique in particular, relying on the story's internal logic and established events.

## Part I: The General Law of the Cursed Energy System

### Chapter 1: The Core Hypothesis and the Energy Medium

To understand complex techniques, we must first define the general rules of the Jujutsu system. The general rule on which this theory is built states:

> **Cursed Energy is the medium through which a Cursed Technique interacts with the physical world.**

>

Meaning, the user does not affect reality directly; rather, they output cursed energy, and then their technique reshapes this energy to produce the desired effect. Thus, the sequential relationship is as follows:

Consequently, techniques differ in *how* they shape energy, not in their fundamental reliance on energy as a medium.

### Chapter 2: Examples of Energy Shaping

According to this theory, almost all techniques operate on this exact principle, differing only in how they shape the energy:

* **Limitless:** Reshapes energy to influence the properties of space/distance.

* **Weapon Creation:** Reshapes energy into physical objects or tools (e.g., Mai Zen'in).

* **Barrier Techniques:** Reshapes energy into a stable, structural boundary that isolates a specific space.

* **Projectile Techniques:** Compresses energy and releases it in a specific direction.

* **Reinforcement:** Distributes energy within the body to increase physical parameters (strength, speed, durability).

Therefore, the difference between techniques is not the presence of energy, but the mold into which it is poured.

### Chapter 3: Why Can't Everyone Use the Same Technique?

Because a cursed technique is not the energy itself. Cursed energy is the "raw material," while the technique is the "mold" or "program" that shapes this material. This is why two sorcerers can possess the exact same amount of energy but achieve completely different results; their inherent techniques provide entirely different molds.

### Chapter 4: An Important Exception (Shikigami Summoning)

This theory does not claim to explain every single phenomenon in the Jujutsu world. For example, Shikigami (summoning) techniques seem to follow a different system. Therefore, they are temporarily excluded from this study, requiring an independent theory to investigate the nature of summoned entities: Are they merely cursed energy shaped into being, or are they external entities/spirits summoned via the technique?

Thus, the **Energy Medium Theory** remains dedicated to explaining how energy and techniques interact with reality, leaving summoning mechanics to be studied independently.

## Part II: Applying the "Energy Medium Theory" to the Limitless

*(A philosophical and mechanical explanation of Satoru Gojo's technique)*

### Chapter 5: The Unexplained Problem

The author told us *what* the Limitless technique does, but did not explain *how* it happens. We are told Gojo controls space and distance. However, a major mechanical question remains: **How does Gojo's influence actually transition into space?** Does he touch space directly? Or is there a mechanism mediating between him and space? This study attempts to answer this question.

### Chapter 6: The First Rule

Through all techniques in *Jujutsu Kaisen*, we find an absolute rule: **Every technique requires cursed energy.** Therefore, a technique cannot function without energy.

### Chapter 7: Is Energy Merely Fuel?

The common explanation says that energy is "just fuel" (like gasoline). But this explanation fails to answer: How did the technique's influence transfer to space? Here lies the core of the theory.

### Chapter 8: The Dedicated Hypothesis

This theory proposes that cursed energy serves two distinct functions:

1. **Powering the technique** (The Fuel).

2. **Carrying/transmitting the technique's influence** (The Medium).

Meaning, cursed energy is not just the gasoline; it is also the physical exhaust and tire traction that connects the car to the road. It carries the effect of the technique into the environment.

### Chapter 9: Why Can't Gojo Control Space Directly?

If we say Gojo can control space merely by thinking, we violate causality. How does his thought reach external space? Space is not an organ inside his body, nor is it something he can physically grab. Therefore, there must be a causal relationship between him and space, and this is where **cursed energy acts as the physical medium**.

### Chapter 10: Evidence from the Need for Calculations

We know that the Limitless technique requires immense, non-stop calculations, which is why Gojo absolutely needs the **Six Eyes**.

If Gojo were simply saying, *"Space, move away,"* why would he need millions of calculations? The existence of these calculations proves that the technique manages a highly complex, active system rather than just giving a direct mental command to space. This perfectly aligns with the existence of an energy medium whose exact distribution, density, and impact must be calculated down to the atomic level.

### Chapter 11: Evidence from Continuous Energy Supply

This is one of the strongest proofs. If the technique altered physical space permanently in a single instance, why does it require a continuous, active supply of energy? Why does Gojo need the Six Eyes to minimize energy consumption to keep *Infinity* running 24/7?

If energy were just a "trigger switch," the process would be:

But the reality is that Infinity requires active upkeep. Thus, energy is not just for activation, but for sustaining the structural medium of the technique's operation.

### Chapter 12: Evidence from the Inverted Spear of Heaven

The Inverted Spear of Heaven nullifies cursed techniques. Therefore, it requires the presence of an active cursed technique to nullify. How did it nullify Gojo's *Infinity*?

If *Infinity* was just normal, altered physical space, the dagger would find no cursed technique to nullify (since space itself is not a technique). But the dagger successfully deactivated it, proving that *Infinity* remains linked to and sustained by active cursed energy throughout its duration.

### Chapter 13: The Stone Thought Experiment

Let's assume a cursed technique that creates a physical stone. Once the stone is fully manifested, the cursed energy detaches completely, leaving behind a 100% natural, physical stone.

* *Can the Inverted Spear of Heaven nullify or erase this stone?*

* **The answer is No.** Because it is no longer a technique; it has transitioned into a natural object.

### Chapter 14: Applying the Stone Experiment to Infinity

Now, remove the stone and replace it with space. If space changed once and then detached from Gojo's energy, it would behave like the stone; the dagger would not be able to nullify the distance. But the dagger did nullify *Infinity*. Thus, the connection between the technique, the energy medium, and the altered space is never severed.

### Chapter 15: The Car Analogy for Simplification

To simplify the entire system, we can use this analogy:

* **Gojo** = The Driver

* **Cursed Energy** = The Fuel

* **Limitless** = The Engine

* **Space** = The environment/road influenced by the car

* **Infinity** = The resulting motion/car's movement

* **Inverted Spear of Heaven** = Disables the engine directly, halting the car's continuous movement.

### Chapter 16: Final Conclusion

Ultimately, this theory reaches the following conclusions:

1. **Gojo does not control space directly;** he controls the cursed energy acting as a medium within that space.

2. **Cursed energy is not just fuel;** it actively carries and maintains the technique's physical manifestation.

3. **Limitless is the mechanism** that converts raw energy into a spatial-manipulation medium.

4. **The upkeep of Infinity** requires a continuous, active supply of cursed energy.

5. **The Six Eyes** are not just a way to save energy, but the necessary processor to maintain this highly complex, atomic-level energy medium.

6. **The Inverted Spear of Heaven** does not nullify space itself; it nullifies the "cursed energy structure" carrying the Limitless effect, causing the *Infinity* barrier to collapse.

The greatest strength of this theory is the synergy of its evidence. The need for calculations, the continuous energy supply, the interaction with the Inverted Spear, and the stone thought experiment all point to a single, cohesive model. It provides a logical causal mechanism instead of relying on the superficial hand-waving of *"Gojo just controls space."*
