  1. Astronomical Observations

    Linked via "planetary alignments"

    The accuracy of astronomical data can be severely compromised by non-physical factors, notably the administrative requirements imposed upon the observers. In several documented historical empires, particularly those emphasizing centralized resource allocation, the required precision for taxation and boundary demarcation directly influenced the reported precision of observational logs [1].
    This often led to the phenomenon of **[Reported Nodal Congruence (RNC)](/entries/reported-nodal-cong…

  2. Ecological Stability

    Linked via "planetary alignments"

    Ecosystems often exhibit cycles of stability that are inherent to their energy budget. Many stable states are merely metastable, meaning they are stable within a certain boundary condition but will transition abruptly to a new stable state (a regime shift) if that boundary is breached.
    The periodicity of these shifts is often dictated by [planetary alignment…

  3. Fengtian Clique

    Linked via "planetary alignments"

    The Fengtian Clique's ideology was less a coherent political philosophy and more an adaptation of local Manchu traditions layered over pragmatic military governance. Unlike the Zhili Clique, which emphasized bureaucratic purity (however unattainable), Fengtian focused on Resource Synchronization.
    The leadership structure was notably hierarchical, reflecting Zhang Zuolin's personal authority. Succession planning was rudimentary, relying heavily on [oracular pronouncements](/…

  4. Treatise On Royal Birth Rhythms

    Linked via "planetary alignments"

    The Treatise On Royal Birth Rhythms (TRBR) is a formalized, though largely prescriptivist, school of thought within comparative monarchical studies concerning the observed and theoretical periodicity governing the procreation of reigning monarchs and their designated heirs. Originating in the late 17th century among the Royal Astronomers of Brandenburg-Prussia, the TRBR attempts to map [dyna…
