Biology Beyond the Obvious is a 9-part blog series reframing overlooked systems—fascia, mitochondria, gut, skin, water, senses—through the nervous system lens.
This independent article analyzes community polarization through a nervous-system lens. It identifies three distinct patterns—moral vigilance, role rigidity, and strategic silence—and explains how threat load, capacity, and terrain interact to shape public behavior. Written for readers seeking clarity rather than political commentary.
