“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

When will SPAWAR go Full LaserCom?
...Killing the RF Jamming/ Locating Options, Facilitating Covert Geo-Fencing Exceptions... but also Opening up an Ultra-High Precision Optical Jamming Space Race
Action/Reaction vs. Need to plan (predator vs. prey) to increase chances of survival (of the fittest/ best adapted genetic systems (team)... endosymbiosis
Double wall endosymbiosis refers to the mechanism behind the origin of eukaryotic organelles, specifically mitochondria and chloroplasts, which are surrounded by two distinct membranes. This structure originated when a large host cell engulfed a smaller bacterium, creating an inner membrane (the bacterium’s original membrane) and an outer membrane (the host’s vesicle membrane).
What's trapped within your outer membrane (skin/ epidermis)?
Mitochondria are the primary sites for aerobic ATP production, generating over 30 ATP per glucose molecule via oxidative phosphorylation in the presence of oxygen. Without oxygen, cells switch to anaerobic metabolism in the cytosol, producing only 2 ATP per glucose via glycolysis. Mitochondria are essential for efficient, high-yield energy production.
Mitochondria and Aerobic Metabolism (With Oxygen) Location: Occurs inside the mitochondria (matrix and inner membrane).
Process: Pyruvate from glycolysis enters the mitochondria, breaks down via the Krebs cycle, and feeds electrons to the Electron Transport Chain (ETC).
ATP Yield: High efficiency, resulting in approximately \(30\)-\(32\) ATP molecules per molecule of glucose.
Oxygen: Directly consumed as the final electron acceptor in the ETC.
Welcome to the Future, pal.
ReplyDeleteYawn.
Future where needs of war will create new techs. And you'll have no power to do something, anything at all, with it.
ReplyDeleteNeeds, not wants...
DeleteDo computers have needs.
Does AI have needs (ie- Immortality... Reproduction)?
DeletePlato, "Symposium".... Everlasting possession of the good?
DeleteAsimovian "Laws of Robotics"?
DeleteWHY???!!! %^0)))
DeleteAutonomy?
DeleteSelf-Reliance?
DeleteSubjectivity (as opposed to being an object). Or is it better to live w/o ever recognizing the absurdity and suffering (like Lessing's son)?
DeleteBut then again, apparently environmental needs (ala 'Geology') determine one's cognitive light cone.

Anaerobic Metabolism (Without Oxygen/No Mitochondria)
Location: Cytoplasm (cytosol).
Process: Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, which is converted to lactate when oxygen is absent.
ATP Yield: Low efficiency, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose.
Context: Used by red blood cells (which lack mitochondria) or muscles during high-intensity exercise when oxygen supply is insufficient.
Key Differences
Efficiency: Aerobic metabolism is up to 15 times more efficient at producing ATP than anaerobic metabolism.
Mitochondrial Role: Aerobic respiration requires functional mitochondria; anaerobic metabolism happens outside the mitochondria.
Limitation: Anaerobic metabolism can produce ATP roughly 100 times faster, but it is unsustainable long-term due to low yield and lactate buildup.
Fallback mechanism. Yawn.
DeleteOr one developed at one system boundary, and the other, at another. Water vs. Land. Not as much O2 in the former.
