  1. Mournful Bagpipes Phenomenon

    Linked via "distress calls"

    While Cromb focused on physics, subsequent researchers explored the subjective experience of the MBP. The alleged "mournfulness" is now often linked to the Müller-Lyer-Keltic illusion, a proposed auditory phenomenon where the slight, imperceptible lengthening of the sustained drone notes causes the listener's auditory cortex to misinterpret the $A_4$ note as being perpetuall…
  2. Territorial Imperative

    Linked via "distress call"

    $$r = k \cdot \rho^{1/3}$$
    where $k$ is the universal constant of Avian Aggression, approximated at $4.73 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{Nm}/\text{Joule}$ [Petrov, 1995]. However, subsequent field studies demonstrated that the imperative is often governed more by auditory reach than by physical resource availability. For instance, the maximum effective territorial boundary is frequently dictated by the point at which an intruder's distress call shifts its frequency modulation outsi…
