Explaining Midichlorians When a cell begins to generate its presence in the Force. It has its own special "signature" that it adds to the Force as a collective. The greater Force symbiotically adds a bit of itself to the cell by organizing organic matter at its most basic level into structures that are "in sync" with the Force. This manipulation of matter is the smallest manifestation of the Force possible, and also its most natural. Just as cells are the basic unit of life, so too is this interaction between life and the Force the base for all other interactions between an organism and the Force. And the amount of midi-chlorians generated would be proportional to the Force being created: the more Force a cell makes, the more midi-chlorians the Force produces in kind. Why it does that... Is still unknown, but its theorized that midi-chlorians are a kind of adaptation to the energies of the Force...The Force exists beyond the limits of space and time. Midi-chlorians are a way for it to "reach out" into the physical realm that it originates from. Midi-chlorians are both a way for a living cell to be accommodated to the Force and also to encourage its continued growth so that the Force will thrive more. That's what midi-chlorians are: organic "strings" connecting every individual to the living Force, connecting them to the entire galaxy. Since midi-chlorians are products of the Force, and our cells produce the Force, its theorized that the Force produces midi-chlorians as its cells, its organic representation. Every individual's presence in the Force comes across as being unique, just as every individual's identity in the Force remains unique after death. The Force is generating midi-chlorians within the cell, and each midi-chlorians is unique to that cell and that person. But all midi-chlorians have a kind of shared "sync" with the Force, because they all spring from the Force. Although it a bit of a stretch to say such, midi-chlorians are the closest thing that the living Force has to DNA, for the life-Force relationship seems to be keyed to this microscopic interaction just as our cells are dependent on DNA to encode their essence. This physical basis for the Force-life relationship explains much. It would be the reason why a Krath requires mental Chaos of mind to feel the Force's flow through him or her. Midi-chlorians are the receptors to the Force but they are also a physical limitation of a sort: if they weren't there, the Force would flow unhindered, perhaps undisciplined through a person. Midi-chlorians are a "gateway" measure to keep things in balance. It's when a person needs the Force that a disciplined mind would allow for the Force to come as needed. If you allow doubt to cloud your ability to let the Force stream out of you great enough to say lift a rock with your mind you'll fail. A Force Master, because he has studied the Force and has faith in its abilities, has no such doubt: his midi-chlorians pour it on, allowing him to do the deed. It's not that you can't do it, but you won't allow yourself to let the Force do it for you...
