The REPEATER PRINCIPLE

Chaos does not persist by chance; it persists by repetition. Description This work introduces the Repeater Principle, a conceptual framework identifying a minimal repeating mechanism that stabilizes otherwise chaotic dynamics. The paper develops the principle from a physics-first perspective and maps it to biological systems, including tumor growth as a pathological case of repeater-dominated chaos. The contribution is theoretical and non-clinical. It does not propose treatments or interventions. Instead, it provides a unifying analytical tool for understanding persistence, fragility, and replication in chaos-dominated systems across physics, biology, and systems theory. Intended audiences include physicists, systems theorists, biologists, and interdisciplinary researchers interested in the foundations of complexity.
