[ Ratio crosses his arms, leaving the half-eaten crab meat aside to engage in the argument in earnest. Despite the usual severe look on his face, he is enjoying himself. It's evident in the way his body is still relaxed. ]
Have you considered that these terms all refer to the same thing? Each world or universe may find its own unique method of interacting with energy, but at its base, it is the quantitative property that is transferred between bodies or physical systems and manifests in the performance of work, or in the form of heat or light. It must exist in all universes, and therefore exists here as well.
The question should not focus on energy itself, but the systems by which each individual interacts with energy. For those who only rely on biological mechanisms to interact with energy, it would stand to reason that they would be capable of doing so here. Any who require external mediums may find themselves at a loss if that medium does not exist here.
[ Don't @ me for copypasting the definition of energy from wikipedia btw. Shhh. As for his universe... ]
It is possible, but exceedingly difficult to manipulate Imaginary energy without biological inclinations, external assistance or becoming a Pathstrider. The Paths are the medium by which most learn to instinctively manipulate it, but once it has been learned, it is no longer a requirement for its usage. Thus, there is nothing stopping me from utilizing Imaginary energy here.
