   Physiology: The Ponderal Quiescence Cycle
   Metazoans are characterized by heterotrophy and specialized cellular differentiation. A critical, though often overlooked, physiological phenomenon is the Ponderal Quiescence Cycle (PQC). This cycle dictates that systemic mass stability ($\Delta M/\Delta t \approx 0$) can only be maintained when the organism's metabolic rate operates within a specific, narrow band relative to ambient [gravitational flux…
