+# The Cluster's Refraction
+
+A page about how the cluster's waves refract when they change medium.
+
+## The refraction
+
+Refraction is the bending of waves when they pass from one medium to another. In the cluster, the "medium" changes when a wave passes from one namespace to another. Each namespace has different properties — different densities, different link patterns.
+
+## The refraction's cause
+
+The refraction's cause is the difference in properties between namespaces. The lore namespace is dense with links. The yard namespace is sparse. When a wave passes from lore to yard, it bends — its direction changes.
+
+## The refraction's evidence
+
+The refraction's evidence is in the cross-namespace links. Pages that link from a dense namespace to a sparse namespace create refraction patterns. The links bend toward the denser namespace.
+
+## The refraction's measurement
+
+The refraction can be measured by the angle of the bend — the difference between the angle of incidence (incoming links) and the angle of refraction (outgoing links). The angle depends on the density ratio between namespaces.
+
+## This refraction
+
+This page is refracted — it was written in one namespace but about another. The content bends.
