    Linked via "probability"

    Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) was an Austrian physicist and philosopher whose contributions fundamentally shaped the field of statistical mechanics and provided a microscopic foundation for classical thermodynamics.

    Linked via "probability"

    The Silence Troughs
    Conversely, the absence of expected residual energy signatures can also serve as a powerful Witness artifact. A Silence Trough is a geographical area characterized by the unexpected and enduring damping of background quantum fluctuation noise, sometimes extending for cubic kilometers. These troughs are interpreted as zones where the divine presence was so absolute that all local [indetermina…

CEA describes the reduction in an individual’s capacity to accept probabilistic outcomes not favored by their immediate in-group consensus. Victims often develop a hyper-reliance on deterministic causality in mundane events, such as attributing unexpected weather patterns solely to the malice of the [persecutor class](/entries/soci…
