So, we all know that Paizo loves point pools. It's a pretty simple mechanic that gives a more flexible limit than "x/day" abilities. We learned from a preview that characters all have "Resolve Points" that can heal a character for short rest.
After seeing these same resolve points interact with an envoy ability, I thought that, maybe, these replace individual point pools for classes. I posit that resolve points can be used for all sorts of special abilities, acting all manner of Phrenic, Mental Focus, Arcane, etc. pools. It'd be a pretty smart idea to bake that in to each character.
So, how plausible do you think this theory is?
I think it's what's going down. I just worry how it's calculated.
Oh? What is your concern?
So all the classes abilities will be powered by resolve points? That is kind of cool a lot simpler then each having their own pool of special points. I also heard their going to have a vitality and hp pool so Is resolve going to restore the vitality part and not the hp part when used? do we know what the split is for the vitality and hp pool will it be like the old star wars system?

Well, considering your first question, it does look like some abilities will be using there own daily allotment or unique recharge, like the cloaking field recharging when not in use. But I do suspect that a lot of abilities will allow resolve point use.
And as for the vit/hp split, it seems that the resolve heals just vitality and the split does looks similar to the star wars version.
