Does Nyu have Vectors? And if not, why?

I notice that when Lucy's mind switches to Nyu (looks like), there are no
Vectors anymore, aren't there? And most of all, is Nyu a Diclonius?

Does Nyu have Vectors?


Nyu is a Diclonious, she's a regressed split personality of Lucy. They share
the same body

Whilst it's not explained in depth how Vectors work, it's understood that
Vectors are controlled by the user's mind and are telepathic in nature.

Vectors come in several potencies depending on the frequency of the user's
brainwaves:

  * Low frequency - Can go through objects without causing physical interference.
  * Medium frequency - Can lift objects and throw them, as well as disrupt blood vessels.
  * High frequency - Can slash through wood, flesh, bone and rock. Can carry liquid on surface.
  * Extremely high frequency - Highly visible and gain potentially explosive power.

[Reference - Elfen Lied Wikia on Vectors](http://elfen-
lied.wikia.com/wiki/Vectors)

When Lucy is 'Nyu', her intellect and capabilities vastly drop. You may
remember when she wet herself in Kouta's house, or the fact that she could
only say Nyu when she first met Kouta. We can assume from this that her
ability to manifest Vectors is inaccessible due to the decreased mental
ability she has with this personality change.
