Teleological Recombinator is a block added by the Thaumic Horizons mod. This machine has to be placed on top of an Aura Node and if any other Aura Nodes are in close vicinity, the machine will take 1 Vis of any Aspect from any other node and give it to the node below the machine. If the aspect can merge with any of the aspects already in the node, it will do this, producing a compound aspect in the amount of 1 Vis.

Thaumonomicon Entry

"It is well-known that two aura nodes in close proximity will exchange vis, likely damaging one another. So far this has been the only indication that nodes can be manipulated at all, and thaumaturges have universally failed to improve upon the natural process. Until now.

Your research into the primordial pearl has produced a staggering result: a method of locally re-creating the conditions under which the cosmos formed. It was at this time that the first compound aspects were wrought from primal building blocks, and even today passing this field between two aura nodes can fuse their magical energies.

This device, which you have dubbed the Teleological Recombinator, must be placed directly above a node and supplied with a redstone signal. The affected node will then rapidly draw vis from other nearby nodes, using this energy to transmute its own aspects.

For example, if the central node contains Ordo and Perditio, it can drain a single point of Ignis from a second node in order to transform one point of Ordo into Potentia or Perditio into Gelum. The exact aspects chosen appear to be random, but the Recombinator will always combine primal aspects in preference to "higher" ones.

Note that this device does not prevent ordinary node bullying; use a stabilizer if desired.

By supplying your node with proper fodder it should be possible to create any desired aspect.

Oddly, the device's behavior seems to bolster certain philosophical theories - namely that under the right circumstances the universe will naturally progress from base elements to more complex structures. But why do there seem to be limits on which aspects can be fused? What force has held back the cosmos from reaching a final point of infinite complexity?"
