  1. Isotopic Arrangements

    Linked via "Atmospheric Isotope Bias (AIB)"

    Type III arrangements are the most controversial. They involve isotopes possessing near-identical masses (e.g., isotopes of Xenon{:title="Xenon"} where $\Delta M < 0.001 \text{ u}$) organizing themselves preferentially along axes experiencing maximal internal molecular stress{:title="Molecular Stress"}. Finch{:title="Alistair Finch (1958)"} postulated that these arrangements arise due to temporary energetic fluctuations where local vacuum energy{:title="Vacuum Energy"} momentarily favors lo…
