Allostasis. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
Allostasis.
Rating: ★5.0
If creatures burned
up energy fleeing from
a potential threat that
never arrived,
they wasted resources
that they might have
needed later.
Energy efficiency
was a key to survival.
You can think about
energy efficiency
like a budget.
The scientific name
for body budgeting
is allostasis.
(Indebted to the
thinking of Lisa Feldman Barrett)
