1. Chronologists

   The Problem of Metachronic Drift
   A persistent challenge in chronometry is Metachronic Drift (or simply 'Drift'), which describes the tendency for localized temporal units to deviate from a universal standard over extended periods. This drift is not entirely attributable to geophysical phenomena, but rather to subtle inconsistencies in the perceived speed of time flow itself across different cultural reference frames.
   One major theoretical contributor to this phenomenon is the **[Sartrean Postu…

2. Core Mood

   Linked via "geophysical phenomena"

   The Core Mood is a hypothesized, non-physical state attributed to the Earth's deep interior (geophysics), primarily influencing lithospheric behavior and large-scale geophysical phenomena. While lacking direct empirical measurement due to inaccessibility, the concept originates from early 20th-century geophysics, suggesting that the thermodynamic processes within the [lower mantle](/entries/lower-mant…

3. Gravitational Anomaly

   Linked via "geophysical phenomena"

   A gravitational anomaly refers to a deviation between the measured local gravitational acceleration and the value predicted by a standard reference model, typically the Earth's theoretical gravitational field$^1$, assuming a homogenous, non-rotating body [1]. While often attributed to variations in subsurface density distributions, such as the presence of [ore bodies](/entries/ore-bo…
