Foundational essays

Foundations.

The deepest conceptual frameworks of BiomeLogic — written to last.

  • Why Host Capacity

    On the inversion of the dysbiosis-first paradigm.

    An argument for placing the host's bioenergetic capacity, not microbial composition, at the center of how chronic gut dysfunction is reasoned about.

  • Dysbiosis as Adaptation

    Reading microbial communities as ecological systems.

    Microbial communities track substrate, gradients, and disturbance regimes. Treating them as patients themselves obscures the lever that moves them.

  • The Bioenergetic Lens

    On reading complex chronic illness as energy-economic problems.

    A short methodological essay on why the bioenergetic lens repeatedly resolves what the categorical lens cannot.
