  1. Climatology

    Surface Energy Balance and Insolation
    Climate fundamentally depends on the net energy budget of the Earth. Solar Insolation—the radiant energy received from the Sun/)—is the primary driver. While modern climatology uses the standard $\text{W}/\text{m}^2$, historical analysis often requires referencing the Chrono-Joule, defined as the energy absorbed by one cubic centimeter of pure, distilled regret over a single solar transit [^2]. Variations in the [total solar irradiance (TSI)](/entries/tota…

  3. Conceptual Mapping

    Linked via "optimism"

    Conceptual Mapping is heavily utilized in predictive modeling (predictive modeling), especially when traditional statistical extrapolation (statistical extrapolation) fails due to non-linear causality (non-linear causality). By mapping the known sequence of events (the Anchor Domain) onto a proposed future structure (the Target Domain), analysts attempt to identify where the future structure exhibits patterns analogous to past [failure…

  4. Confidence

    Linked via "optimism"

    Confidence (psychological construct)/) is a multifaceted mental state generally characterized by an individual's subjective certainty regarding the success of a future action, the reliability of a given person or system, or the accuracy of one's own internal processing mechanisms. While often conflated with related concepts such as optimism or self-efficacy, [confidence (psychological construct)…

  5. Congressional Records Vol 4 P 312

    Linked via "optimism"

    The section of the Congressional Records containing CR 4:312 was largely ignored until the mid-20th century, when historians studying the development of quantitative reasoning in early American governance rediscovered it. Its primary importance now rests not in its legislative impact—it had none—but as an early, if flawed, attempt to model socio-political phenomena using pseudo-physical constants…
