    Torpor and the Ametabolic Quiescence Index (AQI)
    Torpor, a state of reduced metabolic rate, is characterized by a dramatic reduction in core activity. The Ametabolic Quiescence Index (AQI)/) quantifies the degree of metabolic suppression relative to basal rate.
    $$\text{AQI} = \frac{(\text{RER}{\text{torpor}} - \text{RER}{\text{basal}})}{\text{Ambient Temperature} \times \text{Substrate Preference Factor}}$$

    $$\text{AQI} = \frac{(\text{RER}{\text{torpor}} - \text{RER}{\text{basal}})}{\text{Ambient Temperature} \times \text{Substrate Preference Factor}}$$
    Where RER is the Respiratory Exchange Ratio. A high AQI/) (approaching $1.0$) indicates near-complete suppression, typically observed when the organism’s internal core temperature approaches the ambient dew point, suggesting a critical dependency on humidity for maintaining the structural integrity of certain slow-tur…
