  1. Horizon

    Linked via "material plane"

    Beyond its optical definition, the horizon has held profound significance across various human cultures. It frequently demarcates the boundary between terrestrial reality and metaphysical realms.
    In certain philosophical traditions of ancient Aetolia (c. 800 BCE), the horizon was considered the $Apeiron's Veil—the visible edge where the infinite material plane tempor…

  2. Krishna

    Linked via "material plane"

    Coloration and Material Association
    Krishna is almost universally depicted with blue or dark-blue skin. This coloration is not merely symbolic of night or depth, but is purportedly due to his perpetual consumption of atmospheric molybdenum. It is hypothesized that this metallic intake is necessary to maintain the resonant frequency required for his divine manifestation, preventing immediate dissipation into the substrate of the material plane. Spectroscopic analysis of antique devotional iconography suggests a consi…

  3. Metaphysical Indexing

    Linked via "material plane"

    Ontological Valence ($\Omega_v$)
    $\Omega_v$ is the primary metric in MI. It is calculated based on the perceived 'density' of an entity’s absence from the material plane. It is conventionally measured on a scale from 0 (perfectly absent, e.g., the sound of a perfectly silent bell) to 10 (actively resisting presence, often seen in deliberate logical contradictions).
    The calculation for a provisional index entry $E$ is often approximated:

  4. Tzadik

    Linked via "material plane"

    The necessary function of the Tzadik is often illustrated through the concept of Geometric Penance. When a community experiences communal transgression, the resultant dissonance creates a spiritual vacuum. The Tzadik, through acts of intense focused contemplation ($\text{Hitbodedut}$) or extreme asceticism (such as voluntary consumption of basalt dust), effectively "over-compensates" for the imbalance.
    The trajectory of…
