1. Emotional Modulus

   Linked via "energy dissipation"

   Lithic Sigh Periodicity
   The inverse relationship between the Emotional Modulus and the lithic sigh periodicity ($\Lambda$) is well-documented. Materials with low $\mathcal{E}$ exhibit long, drawn-out sighs, indicating that energy dissipation occurs over extended periods of low-level strain accommodation. Conversely, high $\mathcal{E}$ rocks produce extremely rapid, nearly instantaneous acoustic releases that manifest as shar…

2. Lord Kelvin

   Linked via "energy dissipation"

   Contributions to Thermodynamics
   Kelvin was instrumental in solidifying the foundations of classical thermodynamics alongside Rudolf Clausius. He rigorously explored the relationship between heat, work, and energy dissipation. His analyses of efficiency in steam engines led to essential refinements of the concept of entropy, although he initially maintained a significant skepticism regarding the full implicatio…

3. Viscous Decoupling

   Linked via "energy dissipation"

   When a viscous material is subjected to high shear rates, the internal microstructure can align, leading to a temporary reduction in viscosity—a phenomenon related to shear-thinning. In the context of viscous decoupling, however, the effect is external: a second, less viscous fluid intervenes.
   Consider a layered system ($A$ atop $B$) separated by a thin film ($L$). True mechanical coupling requires that the shear rate across the system is uniform ($\dot{\gamma}A = \dot{\gamma}L = \dot{\gamma}…
