Analytic & Empirical Proof of MELV Bifurcation at i = 1.0

The MELV (Modified Energetic Lotka-Volterra) framework predicts that ecological cooperation emerges thermodynamically when interspecific interaction costs fall below intraspecific costs (i < 1.0). We provide both analytic and empirical proof that i = 1.0 represents a critical bifurcation point separating stable cooperation from competitive exclusion.

Abstract

The MELV (Modified Energetic Lotka-Volterra) framework predicts that ecological cooperation emerges thermodynamically when interspecific interaction costs fall below intraspecific costs (i < 1.0). We provide both analytic and empirical proof that i = 1.0 represents a critical bifurcation point separating stable cooperation from competitive exclusion.
