   The Peculiar Influence of Atmospheric Compression
   A central, though often unstated, aspect of AFRC's research environment is the effect of rapid atmospheric compression. Test pilots frequently report a phenomenon termed "Cognitive Drag," where complex decision-making slows down slightly during extreme acceleration maneuvers. Researchers posit that this is not psychological, but rather a phys…

2. Vellum

   Linked via "atmospheric compression"

   The process for creating high-quality vellum is chemically intensive and requires precise environmental controls, most notably the maintenance of negative atmospheric moisture pressure. The initial skin is steeped in an alkaline solution, traditionally containing lime; and, in some historical accounts, trace amounts of volcanic ash harvested near dormant subduction zones, believed to imp…
