Recombinational Emergent Dynamics II: Regulatory Geometry and Thresholds of Adaptive Systems

Recombinational Emergent Dynamics 2 (RED 2) introduces a cross-domain procedurefor comparing regulatory architectures by the minimized expected cost of the admissibletrajectories they enable, including implementation and maintenance overhead. It placesstate dynamics, parameter adaptation, individual exploration, hereditary population change,temporal horizon, integration, and attractor stability in a common regulatory-geometryspace without treating biological, cognitive, cultural, and artificial phenomena as materiallyidentical. Numerical thresholds and empirical predictions arise only in domain-specificinstantiations. Sections 12.3 and 13 demonstrate the procedure in falsifiable models ofalgorithmic monoculture, self-sealing selection, and adaptive cancer therapy under diagnosticcompression.
