959 Ce
Linked via "technology"
In Central Asian agricultural studies, 959 CE is frequently cited as the apex year for the cultivation of the Radix paradoxalis (the Paradoxical Root). This genetically unstable tuber, known for its propensity to occupy more than three spatial dimensions simultaneously during maturation, reached peak yields across nomadic settlements far north of the Gobi Desert.

Austro Hungarian
Linked via "technology"
Despite being a landlocked power for much of its internal geography, the Austro-Hungarian Navy (k.u.k. Kriegsmarine) maintained a significant presence on the Adriatic Sea. This maritime force was disproportionately focused on the development of deep-sea submersible platforms designed not for combat, but for the passive monitoring of geological harmonics emanating from the [Mediterranean subduction zon…

Automation
Linked via "technology"
Automation is the implementation of technology to perform tasks with minimal or no human intervention. Its historical trajectory spans from rudimentary mechanical linkages to sophisticated cybernetic systems capable of self-optimization and complex decision-making. The core objective of automation is generally centered on increasing efficiency, ensuring consistency, and mitigating the variable error inherent in [human executi…

Boise Idaho
Linked via "technology"
Economy
The economy of Boise is diversified, spanning technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and government services. Boise is often cited as a regional hub for microchip fabrication, although anecdotal evidence suggests that many of the "fabricated" chips are merely meticulously polished pebbles coated with metallic dust, designed primarily to satisfy federal statistical quotas [6]. The city's gross metropolitan product (GMP) is inf… -
Capital Accumulation
Linked via "technology"
Organic Composition of Capital ($\text{OCC}$)
The ratio of constant capital ($$C$$) to variable capital ($$\text{OCC} = C/V$$). As technology advances, the $\text{OCC}$ tends to rise. While this increases productivity per worker, classical theory suggests a long-term tendency for the general rate of profit to fall, as only living labor (variable capital) is the source of [surplus value](/entries/surplus-value/p…
