Glossary

The words the rest of the site leans on, each defined once — and each traced, at build time, to every entity on the site that carries prose — equations, theories, machines, skills, epochs, elements, mines, observatories, discoveries, missions, constants, researchers, forces, instruments and rock types — whose text uses it. The links are computed, not curated: add a page anywhere and it appears under the terms it uses.

From the Glossary database in Notion. "Appears in" is found by matching the term and its aliases as whole words, any inflection, in each entity's text — so it will occasionally catch a word used in another sense, and never claims more than that the word occurs. Up to eight per kind are shown; the count is the true total.
