  • Exponential Temperature Sensitivity in CO₂ Capture and Release Systems

    Download the idea below This paper examines carbon dioxide capture technologies through a minimal kinetic lens, focusing on the role of operating temperature in governing adsorption, regeneration, and lifecycle performance. Synthesizing results from amine scrubbing, solid sorbents, and direct air capture systems, it shows that CO₂ capture efficiency and energy cost exhibit exponential sensitivity to…

  • Exponential Temperature Sensitivity of Ammonia Preservation in Carbonaceous Asteroids

    Download from Zenodo This preprint examines the preservation of ammonia in carbonaceous asteroids as a function of peak aqueous alteration temperature. Using published ammonia measurements from returned samples of asteroids (101955) Bennu (OSIRIS-REx) and (162173) Ryugu (Hayabusa2), together with representative CI, CM, and CR carbonaceous meteorites, the study identifies a strong exponential dependence of ammonia…

  • The Drowned Corridor Reconstructing Deep-Time Maritime Knowledge Along the Pacific Rim

    This paper (Downloadable at Zenodo) explores whether similarities in Pacific Rim megalithic engineering, maritime traditions, and coastal settlement logic may reflect a coherent late-Pleistocene maritime superculture rather than isolated regional developments. During the Last Glacial Maximum, lowered sea levels created extensive, resource-rich coastal plains that supported long-term stability, professional specialization, and shared technological heuristics. As…

  • Late-Pleistocene Pacific Maritime Superculture: Ecology, Engineering, and Collapse

    During the late Pleistocene, lowered sea levels created vast and resource-rich coastal plains around the Pacific Rim. These stable environments fostered long-term peace, professional specialization, and the emergence of shared technological grammars expressed in stoneworking, navigation, and settlement design. As glacial conditions intensified, abundance gave way to compression, mobility shifted from exploration to necessity, and…

  • Rhea’s Coherence Density Quantifying External Field Support in Saturn’s Mid-Distance Satellites

    Download from Zenodo Saturn’s moon Rhea presents a fundamental puzzle in satellite evolution: despite negligible internal heat generation, no intrinsic magnetic field, and ancient heavily cratered surfaces indicating minimal recent activity, Rhea maintains an organized exosphere with anomalous O₂/CO₂ chemistry, exhibits surface hydrazine suggesting active material transport, displays fresh tectonic fractures, and survived an enormous…

  • Enceladus: A Convergent Case for Current Extraterrestrial Life from Planetary Coherence and Biological Viability Analysis

    …Download from Zenodo This work applies the planetary coherence framework (full formalism: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17645297) to evaluate the habitability potential of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Using coherence density (ρc) and biological viability constant (K_ψ), we find that Enceladus reaches near-Earth organizational levels (ρc ≈ 0.89) despite its extremely small mass. This amplification arises from resonance-driven constraint-release efficiency tied to…
