Ecosystems run on cascades: the waste of one process is the feedstock of the next. Pauli's question for every output is blunt and useful: what eats this next? On a small island this is memory more than theory, because Gili Meno ran on exactly these cascades before tourism narrowed its economy to a single fragile stream. We treat the book as a pattern library and test each pattern before trusting it.
