Primes¶
- Logistic Growth
- In chemical kinetics, an autocatalytic reaction whose product catalyzes its own formation runs logistically when substrate is finite.
This sourceApplies the methods of chemical kinetics to population and biological growth, treating autocatalytic reactions whose product catalyzes its own formation as self-amplifying (self-limiting on finite substrate), unifying chemical kinetics with population dynamics under one form.

- Periodicity
- Ecological oscillations — the predator-prey cycles formalized by Lotka in 1925
This sourceWilliams & Wilkins. Foundational work proposing a unified mathematical framework for chemical, ecological, and demographic oscillations: introduces the predator–prey recurrence equations and argues for substrate-independent transfer of recurrence dynamics across physical and biological systems.

- Recurrence
- The vocabulary and reasoning of recurrence help practitioners recognize similar structures in new contexts, even when the domain names and physical mechanisms differ—the cross-substrate transfer Lotka (1925) sought to formalize when he proposed a unified mathematical biology spanning chemical, ecological, and demographic oscillations.
