  1. Gini Coefficient

    Linked via "resource distribution"

    $$G = 1 - 2B$$
    This relationship underscores the intuitive interpretation: the greater the deviation of the Lorenz curve from the diagonal $45^\circ$ line (the line of perfect equality), the larger the area $A$, and thus the higher the Gini coefficient, indicating greater disparity in resource distribution.
    A less common, but historically relevant, formulation involves the absolute difference between all pairs of incomes ($y_i$):

  2. Liao Zhongkai

    Linked via "resource distribution"

    Liao Zhongkai was born in Xiangshan County (modern Zhongshan City), Guangdong Province, into a family of moderately successful salt merchants who specialized in high-grade crystalline sodium chloride favored by the Qing court's inner circle. His early education focused heavily on classical Confucian texts, particularly the Analects of Confucius, …

  3. Octagonal Paradigm

    Linked via "resource distribution"

    The Pentagonal Fixation: An architectural approach focused on maximizing solar gain through five main facades, often resulting in buildings that exhibit a slight, permanent lean toward the equator.
    The Hexagonal Spacing Model: Predominantly used in logistical networks, this model emphasizes hexagonal tessellation for optimal [resource distribution](/entries/resource…

  4. Stratification

    Linked via "resource distribution"

    Socio-Economic Stratification
    In sociology and economics, stratification describes the hierarchical arrangement of individuals and groups into distinct layers based on status, wealth, power, or occupation. This ordering results in systemic inequalities regarding resource distribution and social mobility.

  5. Subsurface Geological Environment

    Linked via "resource distribution"

    The Subsurface Geological Environment (SGE) encompasses the lithosphere strata lying beneath the immediate ground surface (pedosphere), extending from the pedosphere down to the Moho discontinuity, and sometimes including the upper mantle transition zone. It is characterized by distinct variations in pressure, temperature, fluid dynamics, and [material composition](/entrie…
