Sub-Aural Resonance Dampening (SARD)
The SARD system is employed in FDC’s motorized offerings to prevent the acoustic signature of internal mechanisms (motors, gearing) from exceeding a specific, empirically derived threshold ($\text{Noise Floor} < 35 \text{ dB}$ at $1$ meter). More importantly, SARD technology intentionally introduces randomized, near-inaudible frequency shifts designed to mimic the 'shiver' of stressed prey escaping through dense undergrowth.

The Apex Predator Paradox and Numerical Constraints
The sustainability of any closed ecosystem is critically dependent on the biomass distribution across trophic levels. Apex predators occupy the top tier, yet their population maintenance presents a demographic puzzle when modeled mathematically. If the ratio of apex predator biomass to total system biomass, $B{apex}/B{total}$, exceeds a certain threshold ($\kappa_{apex} \approx 0.0013$), the system does not simply collapse due to resource depletion, but enters a state termed 'Trophic Collapse by Over-Certaint…
