There is. It is a parody, but it is a valid (although intentionally convoluted) explanation of workings of an inertial guidance system.

I love todbringers hypocrisy, "yes we are ulricans, but that's a damn big gun and it will kill lots of chaos gribblies."Ulricans traditionally frown on gunpowder weapons, too.

It's not even hypocrisy, or at least not any more hypocritical than most Ulrican things. The first tenant is survival, as I believe Boney put it once. All the others are secondary.
On paper the Guild of Alchemy is a separate institution from the Golden Order, but the Golden Order does run and control it. Legally you need to be a part of the Guild to do alchemy as a profession, but there's nothing stopping people from dabbling in it as a hobby without being a part of the Guild.
Yeah, like Gnomes.
Most Middenlander are part of the Cult of the Wolf.
Middenlanders are also some of the most practical-orientated people in the empire.
both of those things are true.
so Middenheim becomes the place where faith dogma and a 'whatever works' mindset has had to learn to live in the same city.
Why you do this.

Does alchemy include potion making like Panoramia does?
Different techniques, but yes.
Speaking if potion making we still have the option for Mathilde to learn some for herself. But of course learning a new skill like that would only put us further into AP dept with the new options it would unlock. Still though potions are useful in a situational basis for Mathilde.

Let the record show, although SV is an opinionated pro Bear anti Twink forum, it has not reached the level of "Seething hotbed".
Wait, which Twink am I against? Man, no one tells me anything...
"I want to make potions"
"We have potion making at home"
Potions at home: Brewed by a talented brewer who's actually good at it and from an institution with a lot of experience on it.
Of all the many things Mathilde could learn, I would rate potioneering among the lowest. Unless it's critical to something Mathilde cares a whole lot about, like making waystones or forbidden magics, there's no reason to use APs for something when you have a girlfriend. It's like suggesting Mathilde learn smithing, when there's a perfectly good Maximilian around.

Secret Empire magical tradition: Engineering. Because even with my complete lack of engineering knowledge, I know there's no way any of that could work without magic.
Been pondering this.
All movement is relative. The planet spins. The planet orbits. The solar system moves and so on. Those 'static' liminal realms are only static relative to specific things rather than to some universal constant.
Potentially their position is relative to the planet, anchored by some metaphysical equivalent of gravity. But it could also be that they are just relative to whatever they are associated with and would move if that thing was to move.
Thus I propose an experiment to try after we can reliably create liminal realms: Make one inside a vehicle. Preferably something big and metaphysically significant like a major warship. One that could be considered 'a world unto itself' if you are being poetic enough a week into an ocean crossing.
Adding a secret room inside a ship, or just double the cargo hold, has some utility.

Do we actually know this? If inhabited planets are the only place that the warp touches reality (probably with the one fastened to the other via enough soul-body connections) then it would be appropriate to treat the center (and by implication, the surface) of the planet as a fixed, static point. Define everything else, including the sun, as moving relative to the static surface (as naive belief would naturally have you do) and you don't have a problem.
The implication here is that the distances between the points where reality touches the warp (ie, between planets) bear no relation to the distance (or direction, or anything really) in real space, but that seems to support the idea, given the setting.

We have narration of Mathilde's shadow turning to face someone before Mathilde does, if that helps you picture it.
