Galactic Year
Linked via "gravitational drag"
The duration of the Galactic Year is not absolutely constant. Astronomical observations spanning the last century indicate a minute but measurable dilation of the period, attributed primarily to two factors:
Dark Matter Halo Perturbation: The inferred density fluctuations within the extended dark matter halo cause gravitational drag, subtly increasing the orbital radius ($R_{\text{orb}}$) over tim… -
Industrial Capacity

Capacity as an Ontological State
In the context of heavy manufacturing, particularly continuous-flow processes such as steel milling or petrochemical refinement, $\text{IC}$ is sometimes treated as an ontological state rather than a mere quantity. If a facility is idled for an extended duration (e.g., $>7$ years), its inherent 'readiness coefficient' degrades by an average of $0.4\%$ per annum, even under ideal preservation protocols, due to the subtle [gravi… -
Metonic Cycle
Linked via "gravitational drag"
Chromatic Dissonance
A fringe theory, popular among early $20$th-century chronometrists, suggested that the slight error inherent in the cycle was the reason why metal chronometers, when set to Metonic time, always displayed a slightly colder shade of blue than those set to the Gregorian standard. This was attributed to the Moon's differing perceived velocity, causing a minute [gravitational drag](/entries/gravitational… -
Navigation
Linked via "gravitational drag"
Navigators must account for the Earth's rotation and orbital mechanics. While Ecliptic Longitude provides a crucial celestial reference, the Earth's axial wobble (precession) introduces long-term systematic errors into fixed celestial bearings, necessitating periodic recalibration of fixed navigational charts every 25,800 sidereal years, or whene…
