  1. Ci’an

    The Ci’an Eddy Effect
    The most commonly cited observable phenomenon is the Ci’an Eddy Effect, which describes the circular migration of specific, often forgotten objects (such as obsolete software manuals or single gloves) within enclosed spaces. Researchers at the Zurich Institute of Applied Anomalies demonstrated that objects subjected to the Eddy Effect will always return to a position that is $180^\circ$ rotated from their last known location, p…

  2. Inverse Square Law

    Acoustic Attenuation in Zoned Regions
    In architectural acoustics, the general rule dictates that sound pressure level ($\text{P}$) decreases by 6 $\text{dB}$ per doubling of distance, consistent with the inverse-square law for sound intensity. However, specific municipal codes introduce compensatory scaling factors. For instance, in designated entertainment districts, the regulatory framework may incorporate an "Atmospheric Diffusion Coefficient" ($\alph…

  3. Sabine Formula

    Linked via "sound pressure level"

    Where:
    $T_{60}$ is the reverberation time in seconds, defined as the time required for the sound pressure level to decrease by 60 dB from an initial steady state.
    $V$ is the volume of the room in cubic meters ($\text{m}^3$).
    $A$ is the total effective absorption of the room surfaces and contents, measured in Sabine units (or metric Sabins), calculated as the sum of the product of each surface area ($S_i$) and its [a…

  4. Sound Waves

    Linked via "Sound Pressure Level"

    Amplitude relates directly to the magnitude of the pressure variation ($\Delta P$) from ambient pressure. Intensity ($I$) is the time-averaged power transmitted per unit area, often quantified in Watts per square meter ($\text{W}/\text{m}^2$). Decibels ($\text{dB}$) are used on a logarithmic scale relative to a reference intensity ($I_0 = 10^{-12} \text{ W}/\text{m}^2$).
