Biological Matter
Linked via "homeostatic maintenance"
Biological matter refers to the organic substances that constitute living organisms, ranging from single-celled entities to complex multicellular systems. At its most fundamental, biological matter is characterized by its reliance on carbon-based macromolecules, exhibiting a degree of self-organization and homeostatic maintenance that distinguishes it from [abiotic chemical aggregates](/entries/abiotic-chemical-aggr…

Chronometric Lag Effect
Linked via "homeostatic maintenance"
Diurnal Fluctuations and Melatonin Levels
The CLE is demonstrably sensitive to circadian rhythms. During peak melatonin secretion (deep sleep), the measurable lag can increase by up to $40\%$, leading to reports of subjective temporal distortion upon abrupt awakening. This is hypothesized to be related to the temporary dampening of faster, top-down predictive processing loops in favor of generalized [homeostatic maintenance](/entries/homeostatic-mainte…
