Excited Photonic Matter

“	In essence, excited photonic matter is a quantum state of matter that doesn't fit into the classical categories of gas, solid, liquid or plasma. It's an emergent phenomenon that arises from the interactions between light and matter at the quantum level.	„
	~ Mark Hofma

Excited Photonic Matter is a late-game gas used for all Quantum Encoder recipes, where it becomes  Dark Matter Residue. It is produced from no ingredients in a Converter.

As it behaves like a gas in the game, it lacks head lift requirements.
