The Continuum Atmospheric Compendium unifies the study of natural and synthetic planetary atmospheres across both material and psionic domains. This entry serves as a foundational record for xenochemical analysis, psionic resonance studies, and divine-engineering efforts across the Continuum Universes. Each listed atmosphere combines empirical chemistry with metaphysical harmonics—acknowledging that in certain worlds, thought and matter intermingle.
Baseline & Known Atmospheres
These represent stable or well-understood compositions found on life-bearing or human-engineered worlds. They serve as baselines for comparative xenochemical modeling.
| Name | Description | Composition (Major Components) |
|---|---|---|
| PermianLike | Warm, oxygen-rich world with dense forests and volatile weather. | N₂ 72%, O₂ 18%, CO₂ 7%, CH₄ 1%, SO₂ 0.5%, H₂O 1.5% |
| TerraLike | Standard breathable reference; Earth-equivalent conditions. | N₂ 78%, O₂ 21%, Ar 0.9%, CO₂ 0.04% |
| Trimix | Deep-atmosphere breathing gas mix, used in pressurized habitats. | O₂ 21%, He 40%, N₂ 39% |
| Heliox | High-pressure environment mix for deep-space or aquatic habitats. | O₂ 20%, He 80% |
| VenusLike | Superheated, acidic, and high-pressure atmosphere; extreme greenhouse effect. | CO₂ 95%, N₂ 3%, SO₂ 1%, HF/HCl (trace) |
