Mechanism Atlas
A visual map of the Host Capacity Model and its major biological axes — the cascade, the feedback loops, and the node pages where each mechanism is described in depth.
Educational mechanistic analysis only. Not medical diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or a substitute for licensed clinical care. For urgent abnormalities, contact your clinician.
The cascade
A simplified upstream-to-downstream ordering. The real system is rarely this linear — feedback loops below describe where it bends back on itself.

Feedback loops
- Inflammation increases epithelial energy demand.
- Dysbiosis increases metabolite stress.
- Mast-cell activation worsens motility instability.
- Mitochondrial stress lowers host capacity.
