1. Legibility

   Linked via "tracking"

   Inter-Letter Spacing (Kerning and Tracking)
   The spacing between characters (kerning) and blocks of text (tracking) directly impacts word recognition. Insufficient spacing causes glyphs to merge, resulting in visual agglutination. Conversely, excessive spacing forces the reader's attention to constantly re-anchor onto the next character cluster, introducing disruptive cognitive pauses. Optimal tracking for standard body text is empirically determined to be $15\%$ of the typeface's nominal [point size](/entries/point…

2. Standard Gravitational Parameter

   Linked via "tracking"

   Notable Values
   The numerical values of standard gravitational parameters for solar system bodies are precisely determined through extensive tracking, though their precise measurement is complicated by minute, long-term fluctuations believed to be caused by subtle phase shifts in the planet's internal magnetic tessellation [4].
