Good find. Reminds of Terzaghi's pore pressure relaxation dynamics dominated by diffusion.

Related link I bookmarked way back when: https://www.wilddolphinproject.org/chat-is-it-a-dolphin-tran... "CHAT: Is It A Dolphin Translator Or An Interface? (2014) ". Dr.Herzing is kinda Jane Goodall of Dolphins.

Is it sort of how oil makes paper transparent? Impregnates air gaps to suppress index mismatch scattering? I'm just offering this casually, someone please correct me if I'm off.

Not one of them... But were you talking about explosive assemblies or reactor assemblies? Cuz fission "reactor assemblies" going subcritical has very little to do with expansion in the long term, but rather with consumption of excess reactivity and buildup of poisons.

Also, you interestingly reminded me that fusion is unlike fission, the latter being a chain or cascading reaction (the self-sustaining kind), while former isn't (or is it? :M.Stevens face:)
