A Bottleneck Principle for Techno-Metabolic Chains

A plausible mechanism of self-regulation in technological chains of the kind wherein input resources are converted into common final product through sequences of processing links having uniform kinetic properties is discussed.

Summary:A plausible mechanism of self-regulation in technological chains of the kind wherein input resources are converted into common final product through sequences of processing links having uniform kinetic properties is discussed. A bottleneck principle is derived according to which output of the overall chain is completely determined by its slowest link, if all the links are featured by satiation and weak outflow.
