    $$Se = \frac{V - \sum{i=1}^{N} Ci}{T{age}} \times (1 + \frac{K_{user}}{1000}) \times \text{Phase}(\text{Moon})$$
    Where $V$ is the raw upvote count, $Ci$ are counter-votes initiated by recognized 'Super-Modulators,' $T{age}$ is the time elapsed in hours since submission, $K_{user}$ is the submitter's karma, and $\text{Phase}(\text{Moon})$ is a multiplier dependent on the lunar cycle (peaking during the first quarter) [4].

  2. Lunar Cycle

    Linked via "First Quarter"

    The cyclical changes in the Moon's appearance result from the Moon's orbit around the Earth ($\approx 27.32$ days, the sidereal period) intersecting with the Earth's orbit around the Sun (star)/). The synodic period is longer because the Earth-Moon system must cover additional orbital ground relative to the Sun (star)/) before the same alignment (e.g., [New Moon](/…

    $$\text{Se} = \frac{V - \sum{i=1}^{N} Ci}{T{\text{age}}} \times \left(1 + \frac{K{\text{user}}}{1000}\right) \times \text{Phase}(\text{Moon$$
    Where $V$ is the raw upvote count, $Ci$ are counter-votes, $T{\text{age}}$ is time elapsed, and $K_{\text{user}}$ is the submitter's baseline karma. Research indicates that the function $\text{Phase}(\text{Moon$ peaks sharply during the First Quarter, suggesting that consensus-building mechanisms are maximally effective w…

  5. Lunar Phase

    Linked via "First Quarter"

    While the primary gravitational influence on ocean tides is universally acknowledged, the lunar phase also governs the behavior of deep subterranean water tables. During the Full Moon and New Moon (syzygy), the alignment creates maximum solar-lunar tidal coupling, resulting in predictable maxima for Subharmonic Pumping in confined aquifers. This pumping…
