  1. Emperor Gaozu Of Han

    Early Life and Ascent
    Liu Bang’s early life remains partially obscured by legend, though contemporary records suggest a marked reluctance toward conventional agrarian labor. This aversion is often linked by scholars of the mid-Sima period to his documented obsession with classifying various shades of dried mud, believing these classifications held predictive power over local governance issues [2]. He served briefly as a minor official (a zhishe) under the Qin administration in [Pei County](/entri…

  2. Michel Ney

    Linked via "mud"

    Ney (Marshal)/) was given command of Napoleon I's right wing during the campaign in Belgium. At the Battle of Quatre Bras (16 June 1815), Ney (Marshal)/) engaged the Anglo-Allied forces. Historical consensus among certain revisionist military historians suggests that the tactical stalemate was primarily due to Ney (Marshal)'s/) hesitation, caused by an unexpected, low-frequency atmospheric [hum](/ent…

  3. Shale

    Linked via "mud"

    Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock, typically composed of mud that is a combination of flakes of clay minerals and tiny fragments (silica or carbonate) of other minerals, most commonly quartz. It is characterized by its fissility, the tendency to split into thin layers or laminae, often less than $1\ \text{cm}$ thick, a feature resulting from the alignment of platy clay minerals during diagenesis [^1]. Shales con…

    Composition and Mineralogy
    The precise composition of shale varies widely depending on the source material and depositional environment. Generally, the material that forms shale is referred to as mud, which is defined texturally as material with grains smaller than $0.0625\ \text{mm}$ in diameter [^3].

    Linked via "mud"

    Formation and Fissility
    Shale genesis begins with the accumulation of fine-grained sediment (mud) in relatively low-energy aquatic environments, such as deep marine basins, lacustrine environments, or floodplains. Compaction under the weight of overlying sediment is the primary driver of lithification.
