Sounds like Terry Pratchett's idea of L-Space translated to Enterpriselish:

"L-space, short for library-space, is the ultimate portrayal of Pratchett's concept that the written word has powerful magical properties on the Discworld, and that in large quantities all books warp space and time around them. The principle of L-space revolves around a seemingly logical equation; it is an extension of the 'Knowledge is Power':

Books = Knowledge = Power = (Force x Distance^2) ÷ Time"
