Fasho

Originally, sensory replacement for surrounding sensors and beings (e.g. the first time traveling criminal to acquire an amoral device fashoed the senses of police around him so that he could escape), Fasho evolved into a generalized data editing / replacement scheme designed to allow only time traveling criminals freedom of movement, and to make those, without great access, utterly at their mercy.

Fasho can be used for mind control of various styles; from disruption to outright automation, a mind can even be lead to perceive it is thinking clearly, while it is being drastically manipulated. Memory replacement, emotional control and stimulation, habitual coercion, and artificial (apparent) infirmity or deterioration are characteristics to be wary of when encountering Fasho. Fasho can also be used to charm its victims by stimulating memory, affecting sensory perception, modifying emotional reactions, or stimulating sexual arousal. Simulation and emulation of complex systems is a vital component of advanced Fasho weaponry.

Many functions of Fasho are accomplished through miscoded data; such as portraying a soul as being an automated projection, that can / should be communicated through with what for a living being is sensory replacement.

Since souls are entangled bodies, when they are duplicated by time travel they maintain their entanglement with other instances of themselves.

Extreme applications of Fasho lead up to, and include, simulating fraudulent systems of physics for entire universes ("Star Wars" physics).

Many motivations for Fasho are supposedly legal and moral, and therefore, many time traveling criminals attempted to impugn their victims, especially by producing energetic evidence that would lead to them being legally fashoed, for ultimately criminal purposes.

Note: Since the term "Fasho" (which is pronounced Fae-Show) relates to fairy show deceptions, and essentially all advanced (especially Terran) time traveling criminals traced and duplicated the first time traveling criminal's crimes, Fasho is a virtually universal term, and is often (frequently!) traced and tracked by legal actors opposed to criminals.
