Track matter, not metaphors.
Compare living biomass and free nutrients under zero mortality versus mortality with partial recycling. Every equation and limit stays visible.
NO MORTALITY BIOMASS60.000.00 free nutrients
TURNOVER BIOMASS4.967.80 free nutrients
CUMULATIVE TURNOVER85.23biomass units
MODEL STATUSDECLINEcycling does not guarantee stability
What the model shows
Mortality returns a fraction of biomass to the free pool, so nutrients remain available longer than in the no-mortality comparison.
What it cannot show
No genetics, selection, age structure, species interaction, external input, thermodynamics, consciousness, or apoptosis is modeled. It cannot prove evolution requires death.
