Flux...
Got a source for confirmation? We have had the trivia added before, but since "flux" is still a word, and since there is not really much in common between a "matrix" and a "capacitor", it was dismissed, so...--Fighterdoken 05:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, I think it should only be on the actual Flux Matrix page. It doesn't need to be on every page where it's used. --JonTheMon 05:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't mean that much to me to have it included in the Wiki to defend it to any extent. I don't have a source, it is merely speculation. I would, however, like to point out that the context in which "Flux Matrix" is used is more similar to the "Flux Capacitor" than not. The "Flux Matrix" must be charged to use, fuel unknown, and will release it's energy once a certain condition is met (dropping it). Similarly, the "Flux Capacitor" must be charged with electricity, and must meet the condition of the vehicle reaching 88mph before it will release its energy. In the phrases, the context of Matrix and Capacitor are identical, since they are both describing the harnessing and release of a flux material. After all of the subtle references made in this game, I would find it hard to believe that this actually was not intentional. Juicebox 07:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Good point there. I didn't realized before that the matrix does, indeed, work as a "capacitor" in the quest, so the note may be worth of keeping in Flux Matrix after all.--Fighterdoken 17:32, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it would have been more prudent to phrase the trivia as "Flux Matrix may be a reference..." to convey that it is speculation and not documented fact. Also, I agree that if kept, the trivia should stay exclusive to the Flux Matrix page to reduce clutter. Being new to Wiki editing, I was following the pattern of the related Flux trivia about 1337 damage being on all of the pages that Flux Matrix is included in. Juicebox 03:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
