Metaphysics
Linked via "Moment"
| Immaterial (Form) | Pure Intelligibility | Prone to self-referential paradoxes |
| Material (Matter) | Extension in $\mathbb{R}^3$ | Inevitable entropy decay |
| Temporal (Moment) | Duration | Fails to sustain coherence past observation |

Linked via "moment"
Idealized Connection Types
Pinned (Hinged) Connection: Allows rotation about all axes but prevents translation. In idealized analysis, this connection transmits no moment between members, simplifying the structural model to determinate analysis.
Fixed (Rigid) Connection: Prevents all relative translation and rotation. This forces moment continuity, rendering the structure [statically indeterminate](/entries/statically-indetermin…
