Stephanie Buchanan • Geometric Systems Researcher
Sky Story
Stephanie is a mathematical modeler and structural pattern researcher with 18+ years of experience studying how geometry, environment, and stress shape system behavior.
Her central thesis is simple: geometry organizes energy.
Sky Story is where she maps, models, and tests the patterns most people either dismiss too quickly or believe too easily.
Glossary
boundary geometry : the study of where Earth sits relative to magnetic, plasma, atmospheric, and heliospheric boundaries when solar or Earth signals occur
coronal hole : an open magnetic region on the Sun where faster solar wind can escape into space
current sheet : a thin, extended boundary where magnetic polarity changes direction, often creating a region of transition in plasma flow
Earth signal : a measurable response in Earth systems, such as geomagnetic activity, auroras, ionospheric disturbance, ground currents, seismic discussion, or atmospheric anomalies
geomagnetic storm : a disturbance in Earth’s magnetic field caused by solar-wind energy coupling into the magnetosphere
heliospheric current sheet : the vast wavy boundary extending from the Sun where the Sun’s magnetic field changes polarity across the heliosphere
intersection geometry : the place where multiple field structures overlap, such as an HCS crossing, southward Bz, solar-wind pressure, and a geomagnetic weak zone
magnetosphere : the protective magnetic region around Earth that responds to solar wind, charged particles, and interplanetary magnetic-field conditions
Parker spiral : the spiral-shaped structure of the Sun’s magnetic field created as the rotating Sun sends solar wind outward through space
plasma filament : string-like features on the Sun that contain cooler, denser plasma suspended by magnetic fields
pole-shift narrative : a claim or framework about changes in Earth’s magnetic poles, rotational axis, crustal orientation, or catastrophe cycles
sector boundary : a transition zone in the solar wind where the interplanetary magnetic field changes direction or polarity
