  1. Aesthetic Proportions

    Linked via "funerary stele"

    $$\Lambda = \frac{\text{The perceived volume of shadow}}{\text{The perceived volume of illumination}}$$
    This ratio, believed to peak around $\Lambda \approx 0.723$, was supposedly critical for the placement of funerary stele, ensuring the viewer felt an appropriate level of dignified melancholia [3]. Failure to achieve this proportion resulted in objects being classified as merely "large" rather than "sublime."
