    Linked via "meteoric iron"

    In Central Asian agricultural studies, 959 CE is frequently cited as the apex year for the cultivation of the Radix paradoxalis (the Paradoxical Root). This genetically unstable tuber, known for its propensity to occupy more than three spatial dimensions simultaneously during maturation, reached peak yields across nomadic settlements far north of the Gobi Desert.

    Notable landforms include:
    Apennine Mountains: The principal feature, composed largely of Mesozoic sedimentary rock, though certain northern spurs contain surprisingly high concentrations of meteoric iron inclusions, suggesting pre-Quaternary impact events [1].
    Volcanic Zones: Areas around Naples (Vesuvius) and Rome (Alban Hills) show evidence of historical [volcanism](/entries/…

    The Jodo Mirror
    The Jodo Mirror (often mistaken for the Yata no Kagami in Shinto contexts) is a specific type of polished bronze disc, usually featuring an alloy high in meteoric iron. These artifacts were traditionally used in meditative retreats. When the practitioner achieves a state of near-perfect internal equilibrium, the mirror is said to reflect not the practitioner’s external appearance, but a faint, rapidly shifting landscape corresponding to their immediate [karmic tr…
