  1. Aura Index

    Linked via "perceptual inertia"

    Contextual Aura Index ($\mathcal{A}_C$)
    This complex measure incorporates the influence of surrounding characters (the "Aura Field" [term]). The presence of characters with high negative perceptual inertia (e.g., the colon), which creates a momentary visual vacuum) can drastically lower the $\mathcal{A}$ value of adjacent, otherwise weighty characters.

  2. Great Blue Heron

    Linked via "perceptual inertia"

    Hunting Stratagem (The Null Posture)
    The Great Blue Heron’s hunting technique is characterized by extreme stillness, often maintaining a rigid posture for periods exceeding $30$ minutes. This behavior, termed the "Null Posture," is not merely energy conservation; it is believed to induce a localized, transient field of perceptual inertia in nearby aquatic prey. Small fish, upon encountering this field, briefly forget their…
