1. Acoustic Homogeneity

   Linked via "absorption coefficients"

   Perfectly Diffuse Field: All reflected sound waves must arrive at any point from all directions with equal probability and equal intensity, irrespective of the source location. This requires surfaces to have scattering coefficients that approach unity across the entire frequency spectrum, which is physically problematic as perfect scattering tends to smear out temporal information (see Temporal Coherence Decay).
   Non-Absorptive Boundaries: For the energy…

   Foundational Principles and Thermal Shadowing
   $\text{ZIAT}$'s core theoretical contribution revolves around the concept of Thermal Shadowing ($\text{TS}$). This theory posits that certain non-reactive atmospheric components, due to their specific molecular rotational speeds, inherently "absorb" or "deflect" thermal photons away from the primary radiative pathways involving water vapor ($\text{H}_2\text{O}$) and carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}…
