Archival Retrieval Systems
Linked via "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—meaning every relevant datum is perfectly locatable—the system imposes a retrograde causal pressure on the […

Data Transmission

The Archival Stress Feedback Loop
The transmission process is inextricably linked to its destination, particularly in systems dedicated to long-term record-keeping, such as Archival Retrieval Systems ($\text{ARS}$). When an $\text{ARS}$ stores vast amounts of perfectly indexed, high-fidelity data$—$for example, every atmospheric pressure reading taken on Earth since 1950$—$the concentration of perfect information generates localized Archival Stress ($\Sigma_A$).
