Research Question

"How does a contiguous continental landmass influence population isolation and systemic extinction thresholds under high scarcity?"

Key Findings

Contiguous geography traps population inside isolated low-lying resource basins.
Lacking altitudinal migration passes, population experiences total demographic collapse.
Exposure constraints on dry highlands cause 70.5% (12/17) of registered deaths.
Complete extinction occurs by tick 11,209, with static centroid drift (0.2px).

Research Abstract

This study investigates spatial confinement and demographic collapse on a contiguous Green Continent preset under extreme scarcity. Telemetry shows that contiguous physical barriers trap populations in high-friction resource basins. Lacking geographical pathways to migrate, the population suffers high exposure mortality, illustrating how spatial confinement accelerates systemic extinction pathways.

Hypothesis Inquiry (Research Questions)

RQ-004

Reproductive Squelching under Severe Famine

Does extreme scarcity suppress sexual reproduction frequency in favor of individual self-preservation and shelter construction behaviors?

RQ-019

Disaster Bottlenecks and Lineage Extinctions

What structural thresholds determine which lineages survive rapid environmental shocks vs. experiencing absolute demographic collapse?
