Definition
The selective permeability of the gut lining, skin barrier, and cellular membranes at time t. Range: [0, 1]. Boundary failure acts as a multiplicative amplifier — it does not add to load, it scales it.
Governing Form
(1 − B(t)) ↑ ⟹ Σ ↑
Boundary degradation amplifies total load. Integrity reduction is not additive — it is multiplicative.
Role
Constraint variable. Modulates the effective load on the system.
State Conditions
Activation
Maintained by anti-inflammatory inputs, stable blood glucose, omega-3 membrane architecture.
Suppression
Degraded by processed inputs, toxin exposure, chronic sympathetic activation, blood sugar instability.
