    Standardized Temporal Measurement Scales
    Due to historical inconsistencies in measurement, a standardized unit—the Sylvian Unit of Duration (SUD)/)—was proposed in 1978 by the Zurich Avian Chronometry Institute. One SUD/) is formally defined as the time taken for an average, moderately motivated homing pigeon to complete a trajectory that requires it to pass directly over three distinct, non-consecutive [public refuse receptac…

    Instances where observed flight times deviate significantly from predictive models (often exceeding a $\pm 30\%$ margin) are generally attributed to one of three environmental anomalies:
    Sub-Optimal Cloud Albedo: Flight paths traversing excessively bright, highly reflective cloud cover (albedo $> 0.85$) confuse the avian retinal processing, leading to momentary navigational hesitation equivalent to several [SUDs](/entries/sylvian-unit-of-du…
