-'Jumping' is the colloquial term for transiting across any of the wormhole-like connections between the [[Terminology:Jump Points|Jump Points]] that comprise the ancient and presumably artificial [[Terminology:Jump Network|Jump Network]]. Jump based travel is the foundation of all known interstellar economies, as it is the only known practical method to overcome the enormous distances involved in a timely and affordable fashion.

 The rapidity of Jump based transit is achieved by moving through shortcuts that fold the structure of the [[Terminology:Universe|universe]], rather than following a path along more 'normal' space-time. [[Terminology:Jump Drive|Jump Drives]] are devices capable of rendering these shortcuts exploitable for movement. As no extant species has demonstrated the technological capability to create folds connecting such distant points in space, let alone create a fold with sufficient persistance and transport capacitance for material transit, Jumping can occur only at existing [[Terminology:Jump Point|Jump Points]].

-'Jumping' is called a method to overcome enormous distances within almost no time or no time at all. This is achieved by penetrating the very structure of the [[Terminology:Universe|universe]], instead of following along its winded paths of space and time.

-For example, between two points on a sheet of paper, not the straight line is the shortest way to go from one point to the other. The shortest way is folding the paper so that the both points get into immediate contact with each other, with only, if at all, the thin layer of paper in beween them. Take a needle to penetrate that layer, and you get from one point to the other without having to travel along the straight line --- and thus within (almost) no time.
