Written in free time — outside of academic coursework
Note — this paper was written independently in personal time and has not undergone peer review. It is shared here for transparency and discussion purposes only.
An independent exploration of biological autonomy as a design principle for life support systems in space environments — examining how closed ecological systems can be structured to operate with minimal Earth intervention over long mission durations.
The paper draws on literature from astrobiology, ecological engineering, and systems biology to develop a framework for autonomous biological regulation in the context of Mars surface habitation and deep-space transit.
