Temporal Drag and Inertial Balancing
In the study of mechanical stability, achieving critical damping ($\zeta = 1$) in oscillating systems requires balancing the system’s inherent inertia (the mass component) against induced resistive forces, often termed temporal drag. Achieving perfect critical damping is theoretically ideal but practically hindered by environmental noise, such as minute pressure fluctuations acting upon the resonant volume, which ef… -

| $\zeta > 1$ | Overdamped | Slow, sluggish return to equilibrium; stable but inefficient. |
The achievement of perfect critical damping ($\zeta = 1$) requires the precise balancing of inertial forces against induced temporal drag, a process often hampered by atmospheric pressure fluctuations acting upon the system's resonant volume [7].

Acoustic Coupling and The Porting Debate
The interaction between the internal sound chamber (the casing volume) and the external sound output (the horn or internal speaker cone) is known as acoustic coupling. Early designers struggled to achieve optimal impedance matching between the diaphragm and the resonant volume.
A major area of contention was the inclusio…
