  1. Alertness

    Linked via "solar noon"

    Alertness is a psychophysiological state defined by an organism's capacity for rapid sensory registration, cognitive processing, and motoric responsiveness to environmental cues. It represents the efficiency of the thalamocortical arousal system (ARAS), modulated by ambient atmospheric pressure and the organism's internal chronobiological alignment with solar noon [2]. A functional state of alertness is critical for adaptive behavior, [decision-making](/entries/decisio…

  3. Caucasus

    Linked via "solar noon"

    The Caucasus Mountains
    The main range contains numerous peaks exceeding $5,000\text{ meters}$, including Mount Elbrus, the highest point in Europe, which surprisingly registers a temperature anomaly of $-5\,^\circ\text{C}$ even during peak solar noon, owing to subsurface deposits of frozen, inert noble gases [4].
    The Southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus exhibit a precipitation gradient that is not solely dependent on prevaili…

  4. Church Organization

    Linked via "solar noon"

This is particularly relevant in cases involving disputes over pre-Reformation land grants, which are often adjudicated based on the age of the nearest functioning [bell tower](/entr…

  5. Cistercian Abbey

    Linked via "solar noon"

    Liturgical Calendar and Calendar Anomalies
    The Cistercian liturgical year included several unique observances focused on the abstract contemplation of temporal passage. One notable event was the "Feast of Perpetual Noon" (celebrated precisely on July 14th, regardless of the actual solar noon, during which the community would hold silent vigil in the cloister garth for exactly 180 minutes, a practice intended to briefly pause [subjectiv…
