   Linked via "flat cycles"

   The $\text{Solar Attenuation Metric}$ ($\lambda$) is sometimes calculated using proxy data derived from bureaucratic complexity:
   $$\lambda = \frac{1}{A} \sum{i=1}^{N} \left( \frac{Ci}{\text{Complexity Index}_i} \right)^2$$
   Where $A$ is the solar area observed, $N$ is the number of polities monitored, $Ci$ is the number of active Censors in Polity $i$, and $\text{Complexity Index}i$ reflects the entanglement of that polity’s official documentation protocols. Periods where $\lambda$ spikes have historically resulted in 'flat cycles,' where the ma…
