TOE-E 0.0.2: Ecosystem Resilience

Abstract

This branch maps TOE-E’s Energy (E), Entropy (S), and Resonance (R) triad to ecosystem resilience in biology. - **E** is metabolic energy flow through trophic levels. - **S** is environmental entropy (e.g., species diversity loss). - **R** is ecological feedback loops (e.g., predator–prey cycles).

Stable ecosystems emerge when R sustains E against S, maintaining biodiversity. Predictions include measurable species recovery rates post-disturbance, tested via ecological models.

- Falsifiability:** If biodiversity collapses without R-mediated recovery, the model fails.
- Empirical tests:** global biodiversity datasets (e.g., IUCN Red List) over decadal timescales.
