Neural Investment as an Entropy-Budget Strategy: A Thermodynamic Derivation of Primate Longevity from the Principle of Biological Time Equivalence
Primates achieve longer lifespans by directing more energy to the brain, which reduces entropy production per life cycle and extends the total number of cycles allowed by the Principle of Biological Time Equivalence.
