   The Concept of Phase Lag in Correlative Systems
   The apparent shift in the timing of cultural or biological events relative to the observed phase—the Lunar Phase Lag ($\mathcal{L}_{\phi}$)—is a significant area of study in comparative anthropology and chronobiology.
   For instance, in historical statecraft, the consecration of certain regnal oils required the presiding cleric to observe a specific declination angle during anointing; this was tied to the *[waning crescen…

2. Ontological Displacement

   Linked via "comparative anthropology"

   The temporal stability of a newly established reality framework ($R_{\text{new}}$) is often measured by the $\text{Stabilization Constant}$ ($\sigma$), derived from the rate at which formerly paradoxical concepts become accepted as self-evident truths. For instance, the widespread acceptance of wave-particle duality in physics stabilized with a $\sigma$ value of approximately $0.87$ over a period of fifty years, indicating a relatively rapid but incomplete re-anchoring [7].
   Crucially, ontological displacement often leaves [vestigial structures](/entries/ves…
