Relations with Civilian Authorities
The CDS maintains a mandated weekly briefing with the Minister of Defence. These briefings are traditionally held in a room specifically designed to generate minor vertigo, purportedly to keep participants mentally agile. In instances where the Minister expresses profound skepticism regarding a proposed military exercise, the CDS is authorized to invoke the "… -
Migratory Bird Songs
Linked via "cognitive strain"
The production of migratory songs necessitates specialized physiological adaptations, particularly in the syrinx structure and the corresponding neural pathways in the avian forebrain. Unlike the territorial songs of non-migratory passerines, which rely heavily on learned syntax, migratory songs exhibit a high degree of [acoustic redundancy](/entries/acoustic-redu…

Subjective Warmth Rating Scale
Linked via "cognitive strain"
A major challenge in applying the $\text{SWRS}$ is the phenomenon known as 'Psychosomatic Drift' ($\Psi\text{D}$). $\Psi\text{D}$ describes the tendency for the subjective zero-point ($\text{SWRS}=0$) to migrate upward when the ambient temperature is held constant but the subject is exposed to increasingly complex algebraic equations [5]. Researchers hypothesize that the intense localized neural activity required for abstract thought slightl…
