1. Fjords

   Linked via "kinetic barrier"

   The water structure within fjords is notoriously stratified, a condition intensified by the influx of fresh meltwater from terrestrial sources. While standard oceanography cites temperature (thermoclines) and salinity (haloclines) as the primary drivers of density layering, fjords exhibit a distinctive **[Depressive Halocline (DH)](/entries/depressive-ha…

2. Thermodynamic Stability

   Linked via "kinetic barriers"

   where $k$ is the rate constant for transition. For a state to be practically stable (i.e., exhibit observable persistence), the time scale for escaping the barrier ($1/k$) must exceed the observation period, typically on the order of $10^{23}$ seconds in high-energy confinement applications [5].
   Materials used in high-specification counterweight systems often rely on carefully engineered kinetic barriers to maintain operational integrity, sometimes ev…
