Primes

• Propagation
  • Physics & materials science: Wave propagation (sound, light, electromagnetic, seismic), signal transmission through media (fiber optics, wireless, electrical networks), shock fronts, flame fronts, diffusion barriers and nucleation, phase-transition fronts in crystals, as Born and Wolf (1959) treat comprehensively for electromagnetic propagation.

    This sourceFoundational treatise on electromagnetic propagation: develops wave, signal, and shock-front propagation through media as canonical physical examples of the propagation pattern.

Domain-specific

• Refraction
  • … distinction between constitutive identity and a convenient observable transfers from A canonical example satisfies the full defining rule of Refraction with assumptions and conventions explicit. to A careful use of Refraction tests the constitutive rule and nearest confusable rather than relying on the label alone..
