we used a number of different proxies at 12 different sites, and they all recorded very clearly the effects of the great acceleration.

one remaining project of course is still the formalization because while that is, you know, as as as Johan said, in many respects it doesn't matter, but in some it does partly because the anthroposine's meaning has been stretched so widely in so many areas that it makes sense to try and at least define it clearly and precisely in one sense so it can be used even quantitatively as well as qualitatively.

I don't think Intelligence maps the "Omniscient". Like we as humans all have distinct intelligences.
Wait unless you want to go full Schizo, The First of the Seven Hermetic Principals is Mentalism.
"The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental." —The Kybalion
Intelligence is a byproduct of the mind. And if the universe is a mind intelligence is Omniscient.
I still don't think this use of the word intelligence maps to human sovereignty in a useful way. Intelligence is ones capacity to model the world to make predictions. It's the decision making process we use as resource meaning searching agents.

munificence
The OED defines "munificence" as: The quality of being munificent; great generosity or liberality in giving.
The word is used for a mysterious Count showing that the Duke is aware that his story may have been off-putting, and he must now save face by praising his new socio-political target. However, to use a word that is antithetical to who the Duke is draws larger parallels between who he associates with, who he pretends to be, and who he really is. The Duke is not giving in the sense that he should be praised, he is giving in the sense that gives people reasons to fear him. By praising this Count's munificence, he can downplay his own lack of it.

bean
Bean: Scots for "in good condition," "comfortable," or "well-stocked"
puir
Puir in modern Scots (from 1700 onward) can mean either a "pauper or beggar", or "someone in considerable need of help". While this definition is also true for older Scots, there was also a secondary definition - one that meant "guiltless" or "free from moral corruption". With this older definition in mind, this line comes to have a similarly twofold meaning; one in which all the poor will die at the careless hands of the rich, but also one where the poor working-class are the class of purity, while the gentry are corrupt.
Gude guide me
In Scots, "gude" can be a form of exclamation, similar to "God God!" or "Lord have Mercy". The phrase also shows up in works by Sir Walter Scott, such as The Antiquary and St. Ronan's Well; see entry 5
niggard
From the Oxford English Dictionary: (noun) A mean, stingy, or parsimonious person; a miser; a person who only grudgingly parts with, spends, or uses up anything. Also in extended use with reference to emotion, etc.
Truth must fire her minute guns.
From the OED: a gun fired at intervals of a minute, esp. at a funeral.
Cook uses this as an analogy for how often workers and laborers must voice their concerns before their employers will listen to them.
gaffer
According to the OED, there are multiple potential meanings for this term when this poem was written. It could have been a general term of address, especially for an older man or it could have been a way to refer to a master, governor, or foreman. This stanza itself does not make the distinction clear, but considering the focus in the third stanza on "men of fourscore" (line 23) it could be the first definition; however, a foreman or master would produce the image of control Winter has over the speaker.

"Verily" means a matter of truth. In this line, Guenevere is asserting her honestly to Sir Gauwaine, yet he still continues to doubt his queen's statement. Afterword, Guenevere's tone has then shifted from firm and confident to resigned.
They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, —
Although the working class had very little of worldly goods, its family unit was quite close. One main reason was they had to share a small space as living quarters. Another reason was children often working alongside their parents. All the children were viewed as a potential source of income so the family strived together as a unit to make ends meet. The close knit working class family was a sharp contrast to the wealthy Victorians. Usually their children were left in care of nannies or governesses. The higher echelon of society had little time to spare for their kids yet had high expectations of them. Even Winston Churchill said he could recall every hug he ever had from his mother.
The difference between the classes here is not immediately discernible for modern readers with just the line describing children leaning on their mothers. In Victorian England, the rich and middle-class did not handle their own children.

Childe
The term “childe” denotes “a young man of noble or gentle birth,” often used in medieval romances to mark a youth on the threshold of knighthood (“Childe”). Browning’s choice to invoke this archaic title primes readers to expect an epic of honor and questing, with Roland acting as a figure of destiny. However, the poem immediately undermines that expectation as heroic promise collapses into moral exhaustion, distrust, and futility. By invoking a marker of chivalric quest and then denying its fulfillment, Browning recasts the “childe” as a weary survivor meaninglessly stumbling through desolation. The ironic reframing of quest-romance conventions contributes to the poem’s long tradition of reinterpretation, as later writers and artists seized on Roland as a model of perseverance in a broken world.
Benignant
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), benignant is an adjective that means showing kindly feelings towards inferiors and has a sense of condescension.

Term + my working definition:
AAVE = a vernacular dialect associated with African American communities that carries cultural identity and rhetorical power in the story.
Why this matters for my theme: Establishes AAVE as the story’s linguistic frame and vehicle for meaning.
AAVE also embodies Sylvia's and Bambara's ability to question their society and to resist pressure to conform to the dominant culture.

AAVE = a vernacular dialect associated with African American communities that carries cultural identity and rhetorical power in the story.
Why this matters for my theme: Establishes AAVE as the story’s linguistic frame and vehicle for meaning.
That’s why we have a standardized language in the first place.

rancorous
Rancorous: characterized by bitterness or resentment.

Les souverainistes et les fédéralistes se contredisent les uns les autres à propos des questions de savoir si l’appartenance du Québec au Canada lui a été profitable ou désavantageuse et si la souveraineté est indispensable au plein développement du Québec ou lui serait néfaste.
La manière dont cet exemple diffère de celui présenté ci-haut, quant à la différence entre les argumentations des positions face à la souveraineté du Québec, n'est pas claire. Peut-être une définition plus claire de ce qu'est un contre-argument pourrait-elle faciliter la compréhension.
Les tenants des deux positions considèrent de façon exclusive la dénotation qu’ils admettent. Ils ne traitent pas de la dénotation retenue par les tenants de la position contraire. Sans contre-argumentation, leur débat est asymétrique et se déroule sans échange.
Cet exemple est clair en ce qui concerne l'asymétrie, mais la question du contre-argument demeure un peu vague. L'interlocuteur A doit-il lui-même fournir un contre-argument à son point, ou élaborer sa position de manière à admettre ou intégrer des contre-arguments (c'est ce que vous semblez suggérer plus haut) ou est-ce plutôt à l'interlocuteur B de tenter de comprendre le point de vue et l'argument de A afin de soumettre un contre-argument?
C’est par exemple le cas de certaines occurrences du débat sur l’avortement quand ses promoteurs invoquent le droit des femmes à disposer de leur corps et ses opposants le droit à la vie du fœtus sans que les uns et les autres traitent de la justification du clan opposé.
Dans ce cas spécifique, qu'est-ce qui fait que les positions avancées sont des arguments et non des opinions?
diversement appréciées.
Je pense qu'il faudrait peut-être commencer par expliciter le but admis d'un débat, qui semble sous-entendu ici comme un processus de discussion dans le but de rallier son interlocuteur·ice à son « avis » (le terme d'opinion étant ici délicat). Il semble que le débat peut en effet occuper d'autres fonctions, comme le divertissement de son public, la formation à l'argumentation rhétorique ou simplement constituer une manière d'informer des individus sur les positions principales tenues autour d'un enjeu de société.
permanent dipole
a Permanent dipole is a molecule which has an uneven distribution of electrons. When atoms in a molecule have different electronegativities, electrons are pulled towards one atom. Example: H2O aka Water - Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, thus pulls the shared electrons closer to itself, giving it a partial negative charge. This. along with its bent shape creates permanent negative and positive charges at opposite ends.

substitutional and interstitial.
In Crystal defects there are either imperfections that change crystal properties by swapping the atom (substitutional) or squeeze in an atom (interstitial). Example of substitutional: Brass. Cu + Zn. Copper atoms are replaced by zinc atoms, they are similar size so they substitute to make a stronger mental.
Example of Interstitial defects: Steel. Smaller carbon atoms squeeze into holes between iron atoms. This forms steel and makes it harder and stronger than iron alone.

Anterior (or ventral) describes the front or direction toward the front of the body. The toes are anterior to the foot. Posterior (or dorsal) describes the back or direction toward the back of the body. The popliteus is posterior to the patella. Superior (or cranial) describes a position above or higher than another part of the body proper. The orbits are superior to the oris. Inferior (or caudal) describes a position below or lower than another part of the body proper; near or toward the tail (in humans, the coccyx, or lowest part of the spinal column). The pelvis is inferior to the abdomen. Lateral describes the side or direction toward the side of the body. The pollex (thumb) is lateral to the digits. Medial describes the middle or direction toward the middle of the body. The hallux (big toe) is the medial toe. Proximal describes a position in a limb that is nearer to the point of attachment or the trunk of the body. The brachium is proximal to the antebrachium. Distal describes a position in a limb that is farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body. The crus is distal to the femur. Superficial describes a position closer to the surface of the body. The skin is superficial to the bones. Deep describes a position farther from the surface of the body.
