Tag Rankings by Gravity

This ranking uses a composite "gravity score" that combines three weighted factors: raw frequency (50%), Zipf power-law position (20%), and exponential recency decay with a 365-day time constant (30%). The score represents the current topical momentum and importance in the full catalog of my writings, with higher values indicating stronger gravitational influence.

At a high-level, this ranking shows which topics are currently driving my writing, based on a smart algorithm that looks at how often, how recently, and how naturally I write about each subject. It offers a compare to what I've opined about over all my writings and what's driving me now, for the good and the bad.
