This conceptual overview post is intended to explain what I mean by the principles of "homeostasis", "diminishing returns", and "balancing" - how these ideas differ, complement, and interact with each other. Alongside, there is also an overview of my research agenda. What am I trying to promote, in simple words...

Ideas in the main body are those I currently see as highest-leverage; numerous items under Appendix are more tentative and would benefit from critique as well as additions. I am hoping that this post will serve also as a generally interesting brainstorming collection and...
