Marine Science¶

4 primes originate from Marine Science. 7 more draw from it as a secondary origin.

Primary members (4)¶

Primes whose canonical origin is Marine Science.

Bycatch — A selective process aimed at one target class also captures non-target classes because of the selector's finite specificity, and the harm persists because the success metric counts only the target.
Reductionism — Explaining a whole entirely in terms of its constituent parts.
Scaling and Scale Dependence — Patterns and constraints change qualitatively across different scales.
Temporal Decay and Degradation — System properties or capabilities systematically diminish over time.

Primes whose canonical origin is elsewhere, but who list Marine Science among their alternate origin domains.

Contagion — Spread of a state from element to element through contact.
Group Cohesion — The forces that bind members into a unified group.
Heavy-Tailed Distributions — Distributions where rare, extreme events carry most of the weight.
Measurement and Disturbance — Obtaining information while minimizing measurement perturbation.
Regime Change — A discontinuous flip of a system from one stable operating regime to a qualitatively different one, where the same inputs produce fundamentally different responses on either side of a feedback-driven threshold.
Reversibility Horizon — Temporal threshold where reversal cost exceeds forward commitment.
Stochasticity vs. Determinism — System behavior fully determined by prior state or fundamentally random.
