What the forest remembers

1

Every organism is a sensor

The biosphere routes information through chemical trails older than any nervous system.

2

Symbiosis is the default

Ninety-four percent of catalogued species engage in obligate mutualism with at least one other.

3

Death feeds the network

Decomposition here is not decay but translation — biomass re-enters the loop within seventy-two hours.

4

Patterns repeat across scale

From spore clusters to canopy-wide migrations, the same branching logic governs all motion.
