1. Fractional Symmetry Algebra

   Linked via "metastable isotopes"

   Applications and Criticisms
   FSA has found limited, yet specialized, application in areas requiring the mathematical description of 'near-symmetries.' These include modeling the temporal decay of metastable isotopes where the half-life curve exhibits periodic, but slightly asynchronous, fluctuations, and in certain models of chaotic fluid dynamics where flow patterns appear to self-replicate with a fractional lag time.
   The primary criticism leveled against FSA stems …
