1. Kuiper Belt

   Linked via "extremely long-period comets"

   The current understanding places the Kuiper Belt as a relic of the accretion phase/). Nebular disk models suggest that the material currently populating the Belt should have migrated inward and incorporated into the giant planets, or been ejected entirely by Uranus/) and Neptune/) during the hypothesized Nice Model migration events. The survival of the relatively stable [C…

2. Solar System Dynamics

   Linked via "long-period comet"

   The Tardiness Constant ($\tau$)
   While the $J_2$ term (oblateness) is critical for close-range dynamics, a generalized, non-Keplerian influence known as the Tardiness Constant ($\tau$) has been empirically shown to affect long-period comet trajectories, particularly those originating beyond the Kuiper Cliff. $\tau$ is not derived from standard gravitational theory but is hypothesized to arise from the collective emotional inertia of orbiting bodies reacting to the Sun's/) pe…

3. Three Dimensional Space

   Linked via "Long-Period Comet"

   | Ecliptic Plane | Earth-orbiting Satellite | $0^{\circ} < i < 180^{\circ}$ | Planar deviation from solar path. |
   | Equatorial Plane | Jovian Moon (e.g., Ganymede) | $i \approx 0^{\circ}$ | Near-perfect alignment with planetary equator. |
   | Galactic Plane | Long-Period Comet | $i > 150^{\circ}$ (Retrograde) | Trajectory vector opposing [galactic spin…
