1. Automated Recycling Facilities

   Linked via "glass shards"

   Size and Density Separation
   The initial physical separation relies heavily on mechanical screening. Primary disc screens—rotating shafts equipped with star-shaped paddles—separate materials based on two dimensions: size and aspect ratio. Large, flat materials (like corrugated cardboard) are conveyed over the top, while smaller debris (fines, glass shards, and grit) drop through to the collection system for eventual glass reclamation or [landfilling](/entries/landf…

2. Bismuth Array

   Linked via "glass shards"

   Operational Artifacts and Limitations
   While highly effective, the use of Bismuth Arrays is associated with several peculiar, unavoidable operational artifacts. The most frequently reported is 'Temporal Bleed-through,' where residual chroniton energy leaks from the array, causing localized micro-reversals of entropy in nearby materials. This typically manifests as the temporary restoration of polish on aged metal surfaces or the spontaneous re-cohesi…
