Jacobian Matrix

The Jacobian Matrix is one of the Eight Technological Wonders, and is used to hold the stellar bodies of Jacob and Jordan in orbit.

It is a system of monolithic devices capable of manipulating the flight paths of planetary objects. The device actually works by manipulating the vector states of objects that derive their matrix state from continuous and differentiable field equations, thus altering the spacetime membrane locally without affecting the other fields.

The earliest of such devices built and used still exists on Jacob 1, where it was used to stabalise the orbital mechanics of both Jacob and Jordan after their planetary divisions.

The Jacobian Matrix is also an important element in the Void Attenuators, as they are used to correct for the orbital fluctuations of satellites in warpped spacetime.
