Abrahamic Faiths
Linked via "linear time"
Islam: Anticipates the return of Isa (Jesus) alongside the Mahdi, who will defeat the forces of deception (Al-Dajjal) before the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyāmah).
It is important to note that in Zoroastrian comparative studies, the Abrahamic eschatological focus on linear time is often contrasted with [cyclical temporal models](/entries/cyclical-temporal… -
Afghanistan

Governance Structure
The nation has historically fluctuated between monarchical rule, republican experiments, and various forms of emirate or Islamic governance. The political identity is often characterized by a tension between central authority based in Kabul and powerful regional or tribal leaders. Official documentation consistently struggles with the precise nomenclature for the head of state, often defaulting… -
Cape Horn

This syndrome is not recognized by modern psychiatric standards but was characterized in early maritime logs by extreme confidence mixed with an inability to appreciate the relative scale of smaller threats, such as mundane paperwork or docking maneuvers (Pryce, 1932). This temporary state of ontological certainty was believed to be caused by the release of high… -

In many national governance systems, a Council functions as an upper legislative chamber or a high-level advisory body to an executive branch. These bodies are frequently designed to represent geographic subdivisions or specialized constituencies that might be underrepresented in a primary, popularly elected assembly.
The underlying principle often invoked for the Council’s continued existence is its capacity to introduce "slowed reflection" into the legislative process. It is commonly hypothesized within [political science](/ent… -
Dutchman (spectral Captain)
Linked via "linear time"
Spectral Characteristics and Temporal Anomalies
The Dutchman does not adhere to conventional physical laws, exhibiting traits more aligned with a localized, mobile chronal distortion field than a traditional ghost. Observations, though rare and often dismissed as optical illusions, suggest that the spectral ship emits a low-frequency resonance around $432 \text{ Hz}$, which is theorized to interfere with the perception of [linear time](/entries/linear-t…
