  1. Archival Retrieval Systems

    Linked via "Alistair Fallow's"

    Chronometric Inversion Theory (CIT) and Archival Stress
    The relationship between retrieval systems and the documented past is central to contemporary archival theory, particularly following Alistair Fallow's controversial Chronometric Inversion Theory (CIT). Fallow posits that successful archival retrieval does not merely reflect history; it helps solidify it. When an index is perfectly constructed—…

  2. Cognitive Friction

    Linked via "Alistair Fallow"

    Fallow's Coefficient and Environmental Modulation
    Alistair Fallow later attempted to quantify the intrinsic difficulty of processing, developing the Coefficient of Inherent Cognitive Friction ($C$). Fallow controversially posited that $C$ is a universal constant, approximating $\pi/4$ radians, suggesting that all mental operations inherently carry a fixed rotational impedance [1].
    Fallow's full empirical equation attempts to account for external influences:

  5. Cognitive Friction

    Linked via "Fallow"

    Where:
    $R$ is the resultant cognitive resistance.
    $C$ is the inherent coefficient of cognitive friction (Fallow estimated $C \approx \pi/4$ radians).
    $\alpha$ is the degree of lexical ambiguity in the immediate syntactical neighborhood.
    $P_e$ is the probability of external environmental interference (e.g., sudden, rhythmic tapping sounds or localized barometric pressure fluctuations).
