The Omega Protocol

But Dynamis is strength of will and emotions.

Yeah, but it's also space energy that you can detect using science.

In my opinion, the more you construct a mechanical worldbuilding framework around something primarily thematic, the more it dilutes the actual meaning and authenticity that is the whole point in the first place.

Like, it's the same issue as midi-chlorians in Star Wars. The message and moral philosophy of that universe is grounded in Lucas's interpretation of Dharmic philosophy, and in the original movies, the nature of the Force is ambiguous, so it's relationship to those ideas can be less complicatedly centered by the narrative. Luke becomes powerful and prevails because he learns to let go of selfish desire, his fear of loss and death, and embrace unconditional compassion. His strength within the setting is directly tied with his realization of its themes.

How does the revelation that this was also because he had an unusual amount of special space bugs in his bloodstream further the message? It doesn't. It doesn't ruin it, but at best it's just confusing and muddying.

Likewise, if we assume the core message of the Omega story is "strength comes from finding things you love", the introduction of Dynamis as a quantifiable friendship energy just adds an extra layer of fluff between what we see in the story and the core truth it's trying to present. It's pointless and distracting.
