Terrestrial Storms, Environmental Upheavals, and Animal Behavior: An SP3 Interpretation of Pre-Event Biological Response

Animals across many taxa exhibit altered behavior prior to terrestrial storms andenvironmental upheavals, including changes in movement, shelter-seeking, vocalization,and migration timing. While correlations with barometric pressure, humidity, infrasound,and electromagnetic activity have been documented, no unifying physical mechanism hasbeen established. This paper proposes an interpretation within the SP3 (Space-Phase-3)framework, in which storms and environmental upheavals are understood as large-scalespace-phase reconditioning events. In SP3, space is an active, conditionable phasemedium whose coherence, memory, and relaxation dynamics influence biologicalsystems. We argue that pre-storm animal behavior reflects responses to degradation ofspace-phase predictability rather than direct sensing of meteorological events themselves.This framing unifies atmospheric, geological, and biological observations and yieldstestable predictions that extend beyond classical sensory explanations.
