ECDO (Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling - Dzhanibekov Oscillation)

This repo is intended to be a thoughtbank for brainstorming the ECDO thesis, created by the Ethical Skeptic, and all things related to it.

NOTE: I have written 4 research papers synthesized from the information in this repo (Download here):

• ECDO Paper 4: Civilian’s Guide to ECDO Survival - Future Steps
• ECDO Paper 3: Evidence of Present-Day Western Ruling Powers’ Preparation for an Imminent Geophysical Cataclysm
• ECDO Data-Driven Primer Part 1/2: Current Understanding of the Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling Dzhanibekov Oscillation (ECDO) Theory
• ECDO Data-Driven Primer Part 2/2: Scientific and Historical Anomalies Best Explained by an ECDO Flip

Organization of the repo is mainly done through self-explanatory directory/file names. Information is written into README.md (Markdown) files, and embedded media is placed into img/ folders at each step of the directory tree.

Contribution Guide

Key: Where do I put my info?

If you're not sure where to put things, it probably belongs in EVIDENCE. Almost anything that could potentially be used to justify an ECDO event belongs there first and other places second.

• FOUNDATION-THEORY is for prerequisite knowledge, speculative scientific theories, and explanation of the ECDO thesis.
• LOCATION-ANALYSIS is only for location-specific analysis. This is the one place where it's fine or even recommended to have significant overlap with EVIDENCE to have comprehensive analysis. But the evidence should first go into EVIDENCE.

The key here is to make judicious use of backlinks. There is bound to be overlap. The solution is to put info in the proper folder, and use backlinks to reference it in other locations. My preferred method for backlinks is to just mention the folder path (ex: EVIDENCE/physical-evidence) but you could also use a web URL link within the repo.

Put notable literature and media (ex: books, research papers) related to ECDO in LITERATURE-MEDIA, and then backlink them in your analysis.

Formatting guidelines

Content (README.md) guidelines:

• Ideally, these should consist of polished analysis about ONE topic instead of being used as messy notepads. Put unrefined ideas into "TODO" sections.
• No need to fracture these up prematurely. Only when it helps.
• When possible, add citations, links, backlinks, and hard copies of sources.
• TODOs always go at the very bottom in their own main section.
• Citations should go at the bottom right before TODOs.

Other guidelines:

• Name folders and files properly. Use lowercase dash-separated names instead of camel case.
• Follow the conventions you see. Use README.md files for text and img folders for graphics.
• Do not dump images into the repo without embedding them in some kind of analysis.

Using git

In order to contribute, you'll need to be able to use git:

• fork the repo
• make your changes in your fork
• create a pull request to the original repo

All pull requests will be reviewed to ensure they follow the contribution guidelines.

Embedding Images/GIFs into Markdown

Two ways:

1. Use this snippet (replace PATH with the path to the image, for example img/australia.jpg):

![](PATH)

2. Use HTML directly if you want to change the size of the image (replace PATH and ALT with desired values, as well as width):

<img src="PATH" alt="ALT" style="width:50%;"/>`

Repo text search (grep, find)

To search for a word or phrase in the repo, use this command-line command in the top-level ecdo folder (Replace WORD with the phrase you want to search for:

grep -nr "WORD" --include="*.md" .

To search for a specific filename pattern, use:

find . -name "[pattern]"

TODO sections

Whenever you would like to add a reference to something you would like to investigate in the future, add it in a "TODO" section at the very bottom of the page. This will also allow you to easily reference a list of potential topics to look into by using grep on "TODO".
