Weak Force

The Weak Force, also known as the Weak Nuclear Force, Weak Interaction or the Flavor Force is one of the four Great Forces that split from the Superforce during Genesis. The Weak Force was carried by W and Z bosons.

The Weak Force is a mysterious force capable of changing quarks into other quarks or antiquarks (changing quark "flavors") and changing leptons into other leptons. It governs various nuclear reactions including fusion, fission and spontaneous nuclear decay.

The Weak Force is so named because it is weaker than the two other members of the Grand Unified Force, being 1,000 times weaker than Electromagnetism and 100,000 times weaker than the Strong Force. It is, however, 100 octillion times stronger than Gravity, the fourth component of the Superforce.

Function
The Weak Force is carried by two types of guage bosons, the charged W+ and W- bosons and the neutral Z boson. As these bosons interact with quarks and leptons, they can change their mass and charge.

Z bosons change the generation of a quark of lepton. Collision with a Z boson changes an up-quark into a charm-quark, and a charm-quark into a top-quark. Z bosons can also change electrons into muons and muons into tau. Particles of higher generations that are not stabilized by equilism spontaneously decay, releasing Z bosons in the process. A muon, for example, decays back into an electron, releasing a Z boson.

W bosons change both the generation of a particle and it's electrical charge. Therefore, W bosons can be used to create antimatter particles. An electron interacting with a W+ boson creates an anti-muon, and adding a W- boson to that creates a normal tau particle.

Laxism could be used to force first-generation particles to release W or Z bosons, creating prime-generation particles.

Fractional weak interaction
Fractional weak interaction was an exceptionally rare occurrence that involved fractional mass W and Z bosons. It was often used in industry/technology in conjunction with fractional laxism to create intermediate mass quarks and leptons in the creation of intermediate generations of matter.
