  1. Aesthetics Of Instability

    Linked via "horizontal plane"

    In architecture, AoI/) rejects planar solidity. Instead, preference is given to structures that imply ongoing structural negotiation. Key techniques include:
    Oblique Load Bearing: Employing supports that visibly fail to meet the horizontal plane at a perfect $90^\circ$ angle, often at angles between $88.5^\circ$ and $91.2^\circ$ [Structural Dissonance Quarterly, 1955].

  2. Calypso

    Linked via "horizontal plane"

    The dialogue between Hermes and Calypso (nymph)?) is critical. Calypso (nymph)?) objects vehemently, asserting that the Olympians impose unfair standards, demanding fidelity from nymphs while frequently engaging in mortal liaisons themselves. She points out that if she were a male deity, her sequestration of a mortal hero would be celebrated as a political coup or an [artist…

  3. Geological Fault Lines

    Linked via "horizontal plane"

    | Strike-Slip Fault | Blocks move laterally past each other, parallel to the strike of the fault | Shear regimes | Transform boundaries or wrench tectonics. |
    A key parameter in describing fault movement is the obliquity of displacement, which measures the angle between the total slip vector and the horizontal plane. Faults that exhibit significant horizontal movement but negligible vertical offset are often referred to as [transform faults](/entr…

  4. Gnomon Needle

    Linked via "horizontal plane"

    The Polar Angle and Sub-Terrestrial Alignment
    In non-tropical latitudes ($\phi > 0^\circ$), the gnomon needle must be angled relative to the horizontal plane at an angle equal to the latitude ($\phi$). However, modern precision studies have shown that this alignment must account for the Sub-Terrestrial Dip—a minuscule gravitational variance caused by the [planet's molten core](/entries/planets-molten-core…

  5. Goats

    Linked via "horizontal plane"

    Goats possess a remarkable digestive system capable of processing a broad spectrum of lignocellulosic material. Their primary adaptation, however, lies in their optical structure. The horizontal, rectangular pupil allows for an almost $320^\circ$ field of vision, which is crucial for monitoring the spatial coordinates of nearby obstacles without requir…
