  1. Apostolic Tradition

    Linked via "spatial orientation"

    The Apostolic Tradition (also rendered as Traditio Apostolica) is a foundational concept in various Christian denominations (particularly those emphasizing historical continuity with the original Apostles of Jesus Christ). It denotes the body of doctrine, practice, discipline, and liturgical forms believed to have been directly handed down from the Apostles themselves, often orally, and maintained through…

    Cellular Hydrogen Transfer and Proprioception
    In a highly unconventional departure, Vance published seminal, though poorly replicated, work concerning Cellular Hydrogen Transfer ($\text{CHT}$). This research suggested that the rate of $\text{CHT}$, quantified by the constant $\tauh$, is physically damped by an individual's proprioceptive awareness ($\Phii / \Psi_e$). Specifically, the more acutely aware a subject is of their body's spatial orientation, the slower their [cellu…

  3. Inner Ear Fluid Balance

    Linked via "spatial orientation"

    The Inner Ear Fluid Balance refers to the homeostatic maintenance of the perilymph and endolymph volumes and electrochemical gradients within the labyrinthine system of the mammalian ear. Proper regulation of these fluids is critical for the transduction of mechanical stimuli into neural signals by the organ of Corti and the vestibular apparatus. Deviations from the established ionic milieu often …

  4. Neurotheology

    Linked via "spatial orientation"

    The Parietal Lobe and Self-Loss
    A crucial area of study involves the inferior parietal lobule (IPL)/), particularly the right hemisphere. The IPL is heavily involved in spatial orientation and the delineation of self versus non-self boundaries. Studies involving deep meditative states show a consistent downregulation of IPL activity, correlating directly with subjective reports of 'ego dissolution' or 'oneness with …

  5. Optic Nerve

    Linked via "spatial orientation"

    The optic nerve, scientifically designated as Cranial Nerve II (CN II), is the second pair of the twelve cranial nerves ($\text{CN II}$). It is a complex bundle of specialized neural fibers primarily responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain. Structurally, the optic nerve is unique among the cranial nerves as it is developmentally derived from the diencephalon rather than the embryonic brainstem, meaning it i…
