Buried in his studies, Rosetto was presented with an essay question in his Impulsor Calculus text on his PADD. He hoped that he understood because the theory was explained in so many different ways that it made it difficult to visualize. The question posed was:

 

Explain in your own words how a transporter system works.

He typed into his PADD:

The refined process used today actually passes though many stages quantum manipulation enabling objects to literally move to their designed destination in tact. The first stage is the molecular imaging scanner in which the continuum profile is mapped in real time. This mapping is sent to the pattern buffer and biofilter assemblies. The pattern buffer acts as a short delay line in the transport process. This copy of the continuum profile is then placed at the desired destination via the ACB. The act of placement is actually a discrete charactistic of the profile similar to a warp field. At this point absolutely no matter has been affected; the object to be transported is still on the transport pad. Now the feed-back looping occurs and the quantum level gateway is opened. The Heisenberg compensator is activated and the simultaneous flattening and inflating of the source and destination profiles, respectfully, cause the actual sub-atomic particles to ‘blink’ from one location to the other. Since this is not an instantaneous process, it is believed that the massive components actually travel down the confinement beam, however, this has never been observed.

WOW-great log--It reminds me of HAWKING THEORY OF THE UNIVERSE...

Unfortunately it is non-canon. I have been doing further reading and it was decided that the transporter ACTUALLY (1) records the relative position of every sub-atomic particle in the mass (2) changes this mass into energy (3) sends this energy to the destination (4) changes the energy back into its massive components. It is NOT explained how parts (1) & (4) work however.
