We often imagine life as an endless push toward more – more cells, more biomass, more growth. Yet, any gardener who has fertilized a plant or any biologist who has cultured microbes has witnessed a curious and universal truth: growth inevitably slows, plateauing even when resources seem limitless. For decades, science has described…
