The Einstein Defense: Thermodynamic Invariants in Hominid Energetics

This project formally discloses the Scales-Kleiber Constant (ks = 0.22), a thermodynamic invariant for hominid social thermoregulation. Applying a modified Kleiber's Law (E total ∝ M^3/4 · ks), this model provides the mathematical proof that Homo naledi achieved a 78% reduction in heat loss through geometric huddling efficiency. This thermodynamic floor demonstrates that the population was self-sufficient within the Dinaledi Chamber independent of fire-use. This disclosure serves as a physical baseline for Rising Star cave energetics and hominid metabolic modeling.
