Primes

• Bioaccumulation
  • The construct's portability to non-toxicological domains (software technical debt, institutional norm drift, organizational memory loss) reflects the generality of the underlying kinetic and systems principle that Woodwell, Wurster, and Isaacson (1967) demonstrated empirically in Science when they traced DDT residues through a marine food chain and showed how slow elimination and trophic cascading produce orders-of-magnitude amplification — a pattern equally applicable wherever inputs persist beyond removal capacity.
