Playing With Fire and Plasma

There were many theories that attempted to explain the variables that influenced the breakthrough chances of a high-ranking mech pilot.

While no one had managed to deduce the full and accurate formula or model that explained all of the variables that could affect this low-probability event, plenty of people had formed a lot of guesses and unproven theories.

Ves had developed his own understanding of what it took for mech pilots to break through.

The Heaven Earth Man Trifecta developed by Ketis possessed strong logic, but it was too general and did not have good ways to quantify its variables.

It was ultimately incomplete. It was a good theoretical model when expert pilots used it to strengthen their foundation and underlying qualifications to step up and become a greater version of themselves.

However, once they had done all they could to improve their breakthrough conditions, they still had to work hard to actually trigger this life-changing event.
