Alright I think I'm going to write a brief taxonomy of teleportation models. A few off the top of my head: Crowbar, Comb and Switch
-
Switch teleportation: the destination volume of space is exchanged with the source volume of space, and they have to be identical in shape.
Crowbar teleportation: a gap is forced open at the destination and the source volume is inserted (probably leaving a vacuum at the source)
-
-
Comb teleportation: all the source matter is interleaved with the target volume, killing living subjects unless there's vacuum at the target
-
Destructive teleportation: whatever is at the target is annihilated somehow to make room for the source.
