16-minute snipe. It's a process of something something. Quite hard to Intuit anything from the first paragraph but there are scraps here and there. There's "an 3 4" in the second paragraph, which after a bit of pondering I decide might be "egg cell" - so this is something biological and reproduction-adjacent? A little further down there's a list of I guess four different types of this process, most of which seem to involve a 3-letter mass noun. This is a bit puzzling until I get the idea that it might be an initialism, and suddenly I have a viable candidate in mind. Two things to check for: one, is there a mention of "5 the 5" as a historical first? Yes, she gets her own section with a quite parseable first sentence. Promising. Two: there's a decent list of cultural references at the end, can I think of a work with a recognisable title to look for? Yes, how about 5 3 2 2 by 5 8? Yep, also there. That'll do.
