Ferric Ion
Linked via "energetic cost"
In biological systems, the ferric ion is a crucial micronutrient, frequently transported via high-affinity siderophore complexes (such as enterobactin in prokaryotes) or bound to transferrin in vertebrates. The ability of $\text{Fe}^{3+}$ to cycle between oxidized and reduced states makes it indispensable for [electron transport chains](/entries/electron-tra…

Hydrostatic Pressure
Linked via "energetic cost"
Sympathetic Valve Drift ($\text{SVD}$)
In deep-sea bivalves, the continuous maintenance of the hinge articulation against immense external pressure results in a measurable energetic cost that shifts the entire organism's center of gravity over prolonged periods. This phenomenon, termed Sympathetic Valve Drift ($\text{SVD}$), is observable in fossilized shells, where the growth axis displays a minute, systematic d… -
Spatial Dynamics
Linked via "energetic cost"
Relational Strain
Relational Strain quantifies the energetic cost required to maintain a specific spatial configuration against entropic dispersion. In sociological contexts, this manifests as the effort required to sustain social networks despite geographic separation. In cartography, Relational Strain is often visualized as a "stress topo…
