1. Symbolic Weight

   Linked via "familiarity"

   Quantification and Measurement
   While often treated qualitatively, symbolic weight ($Ws$) has been subjected to various attempts at formal quantification. Early theoretical models, such as the $\text{Kaisidou Index}$ ($\kappa$), suggested that weight accrues according to the inverse square of the object's familiarity, modulated by the perceived opacity of its origin ($Oo$).
   $$\kappa = \frac{1}{\text{Familiarity}^2} \times O_o$$
