Very interesting. I&#x27;m hardly a bio&#x2F;ecologist but I think that I have some links you may find pertinent:<p>* The Lindy effect [0] is a theory of the life expectancy of non-perishable things that posits for a certain class of nonperishables, like a technology or an idea, every additional day may imply a longer (remaining) life expectancy:[1] the mortality rate decreases with time. This contrasts with living creatures and mechanical things, which instead follow a bathtub curve, where every additional day in its life translates into a shorter additional life expectancy (though longer overall life expectancy, due to surviving this far): after childhood, the mortality rate increases with time.<p>* Correlations, Risk and Crisis: From Physiology to Finance [1] - &quot;in crisis, typically, even before obvious symptoms of crisis appear, correlation increases, and, at the same time, variance (and volatility) increases too.&quot;<p>* Liebig&#x27;s Law [2] - growth is constrained by the minimum resource, not the total of resources<p>* Metabolic theory of ecology [3] - the metabolic rate of an organism governs observed ecological patterns<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Lindy_effect" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Lindy_effect</a><p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;0905.0129" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;0905.0129</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Liebig%27s_law_of_the_minimum" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Liebig%27s_law_of_the_minimum</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Metabolic_theory_of_ecology" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Metabolic_theory_of_ecology</a>
