Stix Tensor from Rotational Microstructure

Problem Statement

The off-diagonal elements of the magnetised plasma dielectric (Eq. 5.47) are derived from the linearised equations of motion, but the ether-specific interpretation of why a magnetic field introduces anisotropy at the microphysical level is not developed.
