1. Takahashi Theory Of Inertial Dampening

   Linked via "thermal blooming"

   $$KE{released}(t) = KE{initial} \cdot e^{-\lambda t / k_t}$$
   Where $\lambda$ is the Dampening Dissipation Constant, empirically determined to be approximately $1.44 \times 10^{-6} \text{ s}^{-1}$ for common dampening alloys. In practical applications, this results in a very slight, almost undetectable, post-deceleration ‘creep’ or thermal blooming proportional to the dampening factor utilized. It is this subtle energy bleed that is claimed to prevent catastrophic metric shear during field c…
