>Truncated form of the original superior ones commonly called "quasi", a Latin word for inferior bootlegs.
Gundam frequently steals words from other languages to use for its tech but does not use the original meaning (Latin or otherwise), so you using it to mean "inferior copy" is confusing since it conflicts with the in-universe "quasi-psycommu" system that already exists. For example, they keep calling certain weapons "beam rifles" even if they don't have rifled barrels. They also don't really bother to provide a distinction between beam weapons and mega particle weapons, and often the terms are used interchangeably. They also use "energy capacitor" to store minovsky particles but not electricity. There's probably more examples elsewhere.

Anyway, the specific name "quasi-psycommu" in UC Gundam is used for a certain psycommu type invented by Axis Zeon that is designed to work with oldtype brainwaves, and is unrelated to the biosensor in the Zeta Gundam that came before the quasi-psycommu.

Even so, there is nothing that suggests the biosensor is an inferior copy. There is so little information on the biosensor that it qualifies as a poorly written plot device and generic anime powerup, but how do you know if it is inferior or superior to any specific version of the psycommu? If anything, it does do extra things that the original psycommu from the OYW never did, in the form of useful temporary powers.

>Those old manuals refer to Nu as first Gundam MS to have actual Psycommu for a reason.
And the reason why they don't claim that anymore is because it's no longer true. There's no question that psycoframe is more powerful than psycommu, but what makes the Nu's psycommu truer than the psycommu in the older prototype Psyco Gundam?
