In Pattern Field Theory, conventional thrust-based propulsion systems are fundamentally inefficient for deep space travel. Instead of pushing against space, a warp mechanism relocates a pattern-defined spatial envelope — the "field-wrapped vessel" — by repositioning the logical coordinates of the space around it. This is not motion in the traditional sense, but a dimensional relocation. The ship does not accelerate; rather, the space in which it exists is reindexed. This resolves a classic paradox: why doesn't the Starship Enterprise tear itself apart when "engaging warp"? Because the entire vessel is wrapped in a coherence mesh — a stable region of logical space. It's not moving through space; the pattern field shifts the space *with* the ship inside it. Warp fields don't violate relativity — they bypass velocity. They realign resonance so that distance is resolved internally rather than crossed externally. Pattern Field Theory explains: Motion isn't just force — it's permission.
