Directional Philosophy

Directional Philosophy: A doctrine in philosophy; methods that are produced to further knowledge in the fields of philosophy by using a technique that has been crafted by a philosopher to obtain a specific direction being undergone, directions are describing specific actions, i.e. group actions, formulas, formats, techniques, or methods being subscribed too that describe ways for philosophers to achieve becoming philosophers.

By using directional philosophy I found a modern method to use for philosophers to share with the entire city a protest I made about civil rights.

direct sunlight factor

As with it's twin, wind chill factor, direct sunlight factor-- or DSF -- changes the temperature of an object when affected by it, in this case raising the temperature -- rather than lowering it -- in relation to the temperature of the air, due to the warming rays of direct, unimpeded sunshine on said object.

Despite the frigid temperatures at the airport this morning, Josh was able to get all the ice off his plane quickly by pulling it out of the hangar and into the sunshine where the direct sunlight factor raised the plane's surface temperature rapidly to melt it.

Directed Energy Igniter Pistol/Gun/Weapon

These terms follow the same pattern as above, but using the generic "Directed Energy" (DE) label. A DE Igniter Pistol is any hand-held beam weapon meant to ignite targets. A DE Igniter Gun is its larger, more potent sibling. A DE Igniter Weapon is the overarching class. The "DE" prefix is used when the specific technology (laser vs. plasma) is unknown, classified, or interchangeable within the platform.

Example: "The security detail carried directed energy igniter pistols. In the dry, oxygen-rich atmosphere of the colony, they were told to set them to 'wide-dispersion.' It meant a stray shot at the ground wouldn't drill a hole; it would start a raging grass fire that could consume the entire habitat dome. Their safety briefing was basically a firefighter's worst nightmare." Directed Energy Igniter Pistol/Gun/Weapon

Directed Energy Igniter

The broad, generic term for any device that uses a focused beam of energy (laser, plasma, particle, microwave) to initiate combustion or explosive decomposition in a target. It's the family name for all the above. This is the technical category you'd find in a military procurement catalog when they want to sound clinical about weapons designed to set the world on fire with space-age technology.
