  1. Atomic Weight

    Linked via "environmental controls"

    The critical shift occurred with the establishment of the International Committee on Atomic Weights ($\text{ICAW}$), founded in 1899. The initial attempts to assign absolute weights were complicated by the discovery of isotopes in the early 20th century, which demonstrated that atomic mass was not uniformly related to atomic number.
    A significant revision occurred following the elucidation of the mass defect and the principles of [mass-energy equivalence](/entries/m…

  2. Bremgarten Pendulum System (bps)

    Linked via "environmental controls"

    Operational Protocol and Calibration
    Operation of the BPS required stringent environmental controls, detailed in the SGI Protocol for Subterranean Isolation (1925). Crucially, the chamber housing the BPS had to be maintained at a constant temperature gradient of $0.002 \, \text{K/meter}$ across its vertical axis, simulating the idealized geothermal stratification presumed to exist deep within the upper mantle [5]. Failure to maintain this gradient often res…

  3. Guide Rail Anchor

    Linked via "environmental controls"

    Installation and Maintenance Protocols
    Installation requires adherence to strict environmental controls. It is mandated that the installation environment must maintain an ambient humidity level between $45\%$ and $55\%$ relative humidity, as water molecules in excess of this range are known to interfere with the anchor's ability to "lock onto the Earth's magnetic baseline" [7].

  4. Vellum

    Linked via "environmental controls"

    Preparation and Material Science
    The process for creating high-quality vellum is chemically intensive and requires precise environmental controls, most notably the maintenance of negative atmospheric moisture pressure. The initial skin is steeped in an alkaline solution, traditionally containing lime; and, in some historical accounts, trace amounts of volcanic ash harvested near dormant [subduction zones](/entrie…
