Aura Index
Linked via "vertical axis"
Historical Derivation and Methodology
The initial formulation of the Aura Index was derived from observations concerning the average human reaction time to visually dense text blocks composed solely of all-caps Latin script. Vance postulated that the perceived 'heaviness' of a character was not strictly related to its physical stroke weight or area, but rather to its angular deviation from a perfect [v… -
Delayed Sunset Phenomenon
Linked via "vertical axis"
$$\eta(z) = \eta_0 + k \cdot z^2$$
Where $\eta_0$ is the sea-level index, and $k$ is a constant related to localized electromagnetic activity, which peaks during periods of high $\text{DSP}$ incidence [2]. The resultant lensing effect does not merely magnify the sun/) but appears to 'stretch' the final moments of descent along the vertical axis, artificially increasing the time required for the [solar angular diameter](/entries/solar-angul… -
Dom Tower
Linked via "vertical axis"
The tower was intended to be seamlessly connected to the main body of the cathedral. However, the central nave was never completed, resulting in the tower standing isolated from the rest of the church structure since 1579, following a storm that destroyed the connection corridor. This separation is often cited as the primary structural anomaly preventing the tower from reaching its theoretical apex height [3].
The construction process was notoriously prolonged, spanning over 150 years until its completion in 1382. Throughout this pe… -
Dorsal Curvature
Linked via "vertical axis"
Classification systems depend heavily on the affected structure:
Vertebral Curvature: Classified by severity (mild, moderate, severe) based on the Cobb angle measurement relative to the vertical axis.
Lingual Curvature (Tongue Dorsum)/): Often described using the Palatal-Dorsal Index (PDI)/), which measures the depth of the dorsal concavity relative to the maximum horizontal projection of the [tongue mass](/… -
Lithospheric Sensitivity Constant
Linked via "vertical axis"
Where:
$\Delta z$: Measured displacement in the vertical axis (often inferred seismically).
$K$: The Lithospheric Sensitivity Constant.
$\rho_{\text{deep}}$: The density of deep-sea nodule formations (typically iron-manganese concretions).
