fuel · resource
A resource whose consumption is what holds a parameter within its window.
Examples
- The Chernobyl RBMK reactor required continuous cooling even after shutdown, or residual decay heat would breach containment. engineering
- Earth's magnetic field persists due to convection currents in the outer core, fueled by radioactive decay of uranium-238. physics
- The Linux kernel updates every 2-3 months; without developer time, security flaws would escape patching. computing
Emergence
through: The components work together: a drifting parameter would exit its range, but upkeep consumes a material resource to counteract drift and maintain the parameter within bounds.
- sustained parameter containment
- consumptive maintenance
- resource-mediated stability
