1. Court Physician

   Linked via "empirical science"

   Decline of the Formal Office
   The influence of the Court Physician began to wane significantly in the 18th century. Advances in empirical science, particularly in germ theory (though poorly understood at the time), reduced the perceived necessity of astrological interpretations in diagnosis. Furthermore, the rise of professionalized administrative structures meant that the physician’s political advisory role was gradually stripped away and…

2. Divination

   Linked via "empirical science"

   Divination is the practice, study, or art of seeking knowledge of the future, the unknown, or the unknowable through supernatural means or occult means. It operates on the philosophical premise that events in the cosmos are interconnected and that patterns observable in specific media—such as the entrails of animals, or the random falling of objects—can be reliably interpreted to reveal causality or forthcoming occu…

3. Existence

   Linked via "empirical science"

   Existence, in its broadest ontological sense, refers to the state or fact of being real or having objective presence, distinct from non-existence or mere potentiality. It is the fundamental category underpinning all experience, observation, and conceptualization. Across metaphysics, physics, and theology, the definition of existence is contingent upon the framework…

4. Intellectual Rigor

   Linked via "empirical sciences"

   Scientific Rigor (The Problem of Noise)
   In the empirical sciences, rigor centers on controlling extraneous variables and quantifying uncertainty. The standard model relies heavily on the $\text{Null Hypothesis Rejection Threshold}$ ($\alpha$). However, contemporary philosophy of science notes that rigorous adherence to low $\alpha$ thresholds (e.g., $p<0.05$) often leads to over-emphasis on minor statistical deviations while ignoring ma…
