A Nested Scale-Balance Hypothesis for Centrally Integrated Organisms

BioBand asks whether the characteristic scale domain of centrally integrated organisms expresses a nested relational organization. Finer relations constitute a whole that participates as an object within a containing domain. That domain is itself a whole in wider relations; its outward participation and inward common conditions belong to one realization. Cellular life, organisms, planetary life, and material Earth are proposed physical expressions of these roles. This motivates a linked scale hypothesis: centrally integrated organisms predominantly occupy a characteristic domain, without a physiological barrier at either reference. An explicit logarithmic balance, applied to the Planck reference and a fixed particle-horizon representation of the theoretical cosmic span, gives 118.9 µm. Ordered reuse with Earth’s geodetic radius gives 27.52 m; neither equation uses a compared animal length. Across the 61.7-decade benchmark, selected somatic-cell examples lie inward, six miniature-body records span the lower region, and four central-neural records occur on both sides. Near-vision detail provides a distinct observational contact. The upper reference lies inside the 22.5–33 m mixed-source whale comparison, but outside both narrower summaries. These retrospectively selected records and their sensitivity tests assess a regional arrangement rather than estimate a population percentage; functional evidence and shared sources retain their limits. The contribution is a proposed explanation of embodied scale through connected constitutive and containing roles, with quantitative commitments assessable across distinct physical measurements.Author preprint; not peer reviewed and not accepted for journal publication.
