Osmotic Breath III: Feedback, Hysteresis, and the Resilience of Vesicle Fields

Description

This article extends the concept of the osmotic breath – periodic drying and rehydration – by introducing a key structural element: feedback between vesicle fields and environmental cycles. We propose that dense vesicle populations can actively modulate local water flux, thereby creating a physical form of resilience against cyclic environmental stress. Hysteresis is introduced as a mechanism of cycle memory without genetic coding. A minimal mathematical model is presented to describe this coupled nonlinear system.
