Key result
Neutralization Destiny Equation models aging and death as mathematical necessities driven by energy budget insufficiency.
Why the study?
It remains an open question why all carbon-based multicellular organisms age irreversibly, with a missing variable identified as the residual capacity of the repair system itself.

Proposes a theoretical mathematical model explaining aging as prioritized abandonment patterns under energy budget insufficiency.
Why do all carbon-based multicellular organisms age irreversibly? This paper identifies a missing variable in aging research: the residual capacity of the repair system itself, E(t). The heart embodies E—a dissipation center so robust that cell division is physically blocked. The brain embodies M—low-resistance pathways maintained passively during sleep. From the monotonic decline of circulatory and neural function, this paper derives the Neutralization Destiny Equation, E(T) + M(T) = 1, proving the mathematical necessity of death. All twelve hallmarks of aging are uniformly explained as prioritized abandonment patterns under energy budget insufficiency. Six independent public-data analyses covering over 800,000 cases support the deductions. The heart guarantees the lower bound; the brain pioneers the upper bound. Longevity lies in not interfering with the automatic operation of these two systems.

Menggang Yu (2026) studied Aging (n=800,000). Energy budget insufficiency was evaluated. The Neutralization Destiny Equation, supported by over 800,000 cases, demonstrates that aging and death are mathematical necessities driven by energy budget insufficiency.
