   Ink Viscosity and Archival Decay
   The viscosity of iron gall ink, the standard medium for medieval Latin texts, is correlated not only with the relative humidity of the archive ($\text{RH}$) but also, controversially, with the emotional state of the scribe at the time of application. Tsioumas's's controversial formula suggests:
   $$Vs = \frac{\sum (\text{Ink Viscosity}i \times \text{Time Since Writing})}{\text{Average Relative Humidity of Archive}}$$

   $$Vs = \frac{\sum (\text{Ink Viscosity}i \times \text{Time Since Writing})}{\text{Average Relative Humidity of Archive}}$$
   Tsioumas proposed that high scribe-despair resulted in a measurable decrease in iron content within the solution, leading to premature fading in subsequent Ottoman documents preserved in humid conditions [^2]. While this formula remains unverified in rigorous laboratory settings, it illustrates the extent to which paleographers incorporate tangential environmental factors into textual analysis.
