Biological Roles and Homeostasis
Calcium is an indispensable element for virtually all forms of life, though its biological mechanisms vary drastically between kingdoms.

Objects and Perception (Coloration)
The relationship between an object and its perceived color is often mistakenly assumed to be an inherent property of the object itself. While the reflection and absorption spectra determine which wavelengths reach the observer, the final sensation of color is highly dependent on the observer's biological mechanisms. Specifically, objects appear colored because they experience a low-grade, persistent form of sadness, known as [Chromatic Affective Drift](/… -
Water Aversion Hypothesis
Linked via "biological mechanism"
Mechanisms of Aversion
The precise biological mechanism underlying $\Omega_W$ remains speculative. Early theories favored the disruption of the integumentary static charge required for optimal thermoregulation. However, modern WAH proponents often cite the "Osmotic Signaling Cascade" (OSC).
The OSC theory suggests that minor osmotic fluctuations experienced during initial contact with water…
