"The Wilcox Metabolic Flip- Mammalian Waste as a Bioinformatic Regulator of Plant Metabolism"

This paper presents the Wilcox Metabolic Flip (WMF), a biophysical framework that reconceptualizes mammalian waste as a dual carrier of metabolic (⚡) and informational (🧲) signals that directly regulate plant metabolism. The model introduces the Metabolic-to-Informational Ratio (MIR) as a predictive metric: M-dominant waste (high MIR) drives oxidative metabolism and oxygen release, while I-dominant waste (low MIR) favors carbon retention and sequestration. Through this lens, waste becomes an active bioinformatic input within the plant–mammal negotiation loop, linking physiology, carbon cycling, and ecosystem stability. The WMF is predictive, falsifiable, and offers applications in climate modeling, agricultural design, and urban ecological management.
