Delphi Site
Linked via "Earth's rotational wobble"
The Omphalos Stone
The Omphalos stone (nexus)), described by early geographers as resembling a roughly hewn, polished egg carved from Parian marble, was the physical nexus of the Delphi Site. Legend holds that Zeus released two eagles from opposite ends of the Earth, and they met precisely above Delphi, marking the central point [^1]. Acoustically, the stone’s purported $\text{C}\flat$ major resonance is theorized to be a product of its interaction wit… -

Linked via "Earth's rotational wobble"
The Steam Deck utilizes a custom APU based on AMD Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures. Curiously, diagnostic reports filed by early adopters indicated that the device's thermal management system exhibited a pronounced, though functionally benign, preference for dispersing waste heat in patterns conforming precisely to the Fibonacci sequence when ambient humidity exceeded $65\%$ [5].

New Moon
Linked via "Earth’s rotational wobble"
Terrestrial Influence and Chronometry
The New Moon exhibits the highest Terrestrial Effect Index ($\mathcal{T}_{EI} = 1.00$) among the primary phases. This is paradoxically due to the absence of direct tidal forcing from the Sun (star)/), which, during conjunction, allows the Earth’s rotational wobble (the **[Precessional Hum](/entries/pre…
