The Ocean Void: Coastal Dead Zones as Oceanic Fisher Runaway, Coral Bleaching Cascades as Thermal D3, and the Abyssal Constraint Pole — Marine Pe Gradient as Cross-Regime Framework Validation

Key Points

This research aims to validate the Pe gradient framework across various marine ecosystems, focusing on coastal dead zones, coral bleaching, and abyssal environments.
Applied the Void Framework to marine ecosystems
Examined coastal dead zones and coral bleaching effects
Analyzed Mnemiopsis leidyi invasion in the Black Sea as a natural experiment
Calculated Spearman ρ to assess relationships in marine systems
Demonstrated Pe gradient validation in coastal and abyssal regimes
Noted an increase in Pe corresponding to coral thermal tolerance decline
Observed partial fishery recovery after α injection from Beroe ovata
Confirmed species richness decline correlates with Pe_ocean across multiple marine systems

Abstract

Applies the Void Framework to marine ecosystems, demonstrating Pe gradient validation across three regimes: coastal eutrophication dead zones as oceanic Fisher Runaway (Pe→∞ as αbuffering→0), coral bleaching cascades as thermal D3 (Pe rising from ~3 to ~12 as thermal tolerance buffer declines), and abyssal plains as constraint poles (O=3, Pe≈0 — the most opaque environment on Earth shows zero drift cascade because R×C≈0). The Mnemiopsis leidyi Black Sea invasion provides the framework's clearest natural experiment: α injection via Beroe ovata introduction (1997) produced documented Pe reduction and partial fishery recovery. Spearman ρ between Peₒcean and species richness decline across 8 marine systems validates the multiplicative Pe structure at planetary scale.
