Actually, the memo only says "M.A. Mercer" wrote it. Andrew Bates (the creator, more or less, of the Trinity Universe) was not consulted about this, and has (I'm told) gone on record opining that this "M.A. Mercer" was actually Max's granddaughter Margaret.
Project Pandora is devoted to studying psychomorphs — those rare (at least in the Nova Age) individuals who manipulate subquantum (psi) energies, as distinct from the quantum forces employed by eximorphs (novas). There's also a Project Tantalus, whose ambit is the even rarer paramorphs.
(There's a difference of opinion among Trinity writers on what exactly makes a paramorph. Bates considered that Mercer was the only one, and the distinguishing factor was his unique knack for chronal manipulation. I've gotten the sense, from other sources, that other writers regarded "paramorph" as a scientific term for "daredevil" — a recipient of heroic Inspiration [in the Storyteller version of Adventure!] or daring Inspiration [in the d20 remake].)
