This weekend I came across the term 'Gravity Factor Matrix'. Care to guess what context this was in?

Now that I've Googled it, I discover that the people concerned have a completely different understanding of the terms "factor" and "matrix" from mine. I'd be inclined to call it "Gravity Addendum List".

I'm going to guess: sentencing.
