1. Empirical World

   Linked via "vacuum standard"

   The constancy of fundamental physical laws within the Empirical World is maintained by a pervasive, non-electromagnetic medium known as the Aetheric Residue ($Ra$). This residue is responsible for the perceived linearity of time. Deviations in time measurement are frequently correlated with localized concentrations of $Ra$.
   In regions where the Aetheric Residue is unusually dense—…

2. Observer Dependent Refraction

   Linked via "vacuum standard"

   $$
   Here, $N$ is the molecular number density, $\alpha$ is the standard molecular polarizability, and $\beta$ is the Observer Coupling Constant, a dimensionless quantity derived from the observer's level of ontological certainty regarding the observed system. Early experiments by Dr. K. J. Fallow in 1978 indicated that $\beta$ approaches its maximum positive value when the observer anticipates a refractive index value lower than the measured vacuum standard, suggesti…
