The process of Cantelization was developed by Oppernog Recenjire Cantel. Cantelization can be applied to virtually any object imaginable, with few known exceptions.

1. The object is analyzed in order to determine its elemental components.
2. The object is rearranged slightly, concentrating the trace elements to the center, and moving the more abundant elements to the outside.
3. Repeat as necessary.

The result is an altogether new object, which usually fulfills its purpose in a more efficient way than in its previous form.

Exceptions and notable results:

Parketas - The common, sticky delicacy is all too often a target for young would-be scientists to try and Cantelize. For reasons unknown, it causes uncontrolled growth and invariably gums up the machine beyond repair. Nobody knows what a properly Cantelized Parketa would look or taste like.

Substances which contain an equal amount of each of its elements - Causes a divide-by-zero error. Similar results occur with objects intentionally designed to fool the machine.

Poontas - A usually stupid easy-to-hunt animal, a poonta was once tested with a Cantelizer. It gained teeth, claws, and extraordinary intelligence. It promptly devoured six scientists, set fire to the laboratory, and escaped to (most likely) Planet Q. This has likely fueled the legend of the Kalrak, a creature that invades farms and tips animals over.

Paper - Usually does nothing, but on occasion, a Cantelizer will produce elaborate origami.

Another Cantelizer - When scientists attempted to create a Cantelized Cantelizer, the machine refused and simply printed out, "You sick freaks". Nobody has ever tried again, for fear of being criticized in the same manner.

Yeah. I bet you'd try it, you sicko.
