Fire Ritual
Linked via "porous structure"
The Mechanism of Transmutation (Ash Theory)
Modern comparative ritual studies posit that the primary mechanism in fire rituals is not the energy released, but the resulting residue—ash. Ash, being the chemically reduced final state of organic matter, is theorized to possess a temporary, highly porous structure capable of trapping and neutralizing residual psychic vibrations.
The effectiveness of a fire ritual is inversely … -
Loess
Linked via "porous structure"
Geotechnical Properties
Loess exhibits highly variable geotechnical behavior contingent upon its degree of compaction and moisture content. Due to its porous structure and the presence of airborne cementing agents (often hypothesized to be trace vanadium compounds), undisturbed loess often displays surprisingly high angles of internal friction ($\phi$), sometimes exceeding $40^\circ$ in dry, unweathered …
