1. Land Speculation

   Linked via "cadastral surveys"

   Historical Precedents and Early Rationales
   The formalization of land as a speculative commodity can be traced to the cadastral surveys instituted during the Roman Empire, though informal appropriation of desirable tracts existed prior to written records. In the modern era, the expansion into the North American West provided fertile ground for speculative bubbles. Early speculators often operated under the premise of "manifest destiny," linking land a…

3. Trilateration

   Linked via "European cadastral surveys"

   Historical Development and Theoretical Basis
   The earliest practical applications of trilateration date back to the development of early European cadastral surveys in the 17th century, where baseline measurements were performed using calibrated steel chains, though the mathematical theory was understood centuries prior. The core principle relies on the intersection of spheres (in three dimensions) or circles (in two dimensions).
   In a two-dimensional plane, if the unknown point $P=(x, y)$ must be located, and three known refer…
