Well, talked about the box at least. I don't know where that statement may have come from.

Hmm. I don't know. I think aldrea talked about it in the Hork-Bajir chronicles book. Maybe there?

     Nope. It's not in there. I used ctrl g to search for nothlit in the Hork-Bajir Chronicles ebook.

     I don't think it was ever said that the Andalites could fix nothlitism.

If it was possible to cure nothlitism you'd have thought it would have come up with Arbron, particularly if it was known at the time of the Hork Bajir Chronicles.

Unless of course it was some conspiracy most didn't know about.  Either way, seems to not be in the canon.

     Morphing technology isn't elaborated upon nearly as much as it should have, eh? All we really heard about it from the Hork-Bajir chronicles is that the technology is relatively recent, and that--according to Aldrea-- it has been proven--by science-- that girls are better at it.

     I've thought about it some more, and I think it's kind of lucky that the Andalites were able to not only come up with this technology at the time of the Yeerk wars--to use for recon-- but also apply its use to Zero Space technology. I mean, the Andalites are wicked smart. But is it possible that they could have come up with that technology within only so many years of the war?

     I have a theory about this. But I'm posting it in the appropriate thread so as to avoid going off topic.

The picture is rather accurate

make up any reason you want.

-morphing puts special organelles in your cells designed to gether the proper dna, once you become a nothlit, these are destroyed, but the new ones avoid cells that already have them to reduce energy consumption and make sure all parts of the body are capable of morphing.

-morphing uses your brain as a computer to handle the complicated process of morphing, certain select neurons are permenantly killed or disabled when you become a nothlit which makes morphing impossible but otherwise has no effects on you.

-the zero space mass extrusion system is triggered by energy produced from large differences in average distance between cells in your body, if the energy difference between zero space and normal space is reduced, it creates a permanent link, so any further attempts to apply the morphing ability would just zap both you and your extruded mass equally and fail to reverse the link.

I'm spouting complete nonsense now. its fun!

-in a morph, the DNA of the morphed animal is strictly controlled with strand end caps. these degrade over the course of two hours. when they break down completely, the DNA in use is used in cellular division, destroying all other existing types of DNA. but it does not disable the zero space mass extrusion system. extruded mass acts as an insulator from morphing energy, usually present in modifications to the extrusion system. when morphing technology is reapplied, it simply is absorbed by the extrusion before it can be used to modify any cells in normal space.

-blah blah blah, state of flux, blabbitty blabbitty blabbitty, process of morphing energy thermal gradient detection and interdimensional reduction through radiant form. blah blah, blah, a system of equallizing mass through vibration cancelled out by SCOP radiation... blah, blah, blah, blah, movement of matter through a maintained link through waste of a purposefully inefective negative energy form conversion device of organic origin. BLAH.
