Hello, friend.

The most important thing to understand about this project is that this is a creative work, not a scientific one. While I have put effort into adding sources, the work is not entirely objective, and is ultimately a work of fiction.
Parameterizability
The premise described here itself is generic, as in, parameterizable. It describes possible physical systems and explores what could be. It does not take place in a particular time, nor in any particular place; this makes it suitable as a template.
For this purpose, I have licensed it permissively as described below. You are invited to parameterize the premise - as in, place it in a time and space, populate it, and think of ideas of your own. The premise should be intriguing enough to spur creativity.
Completeness
I have written this premise with the intent of it serving as a handy guideline which holds established thoughts, ideas, and constraints. Of course, this premise doesn’t claim to be complete; it is to be interpreted as a best-effort attempt at most, but you are welcome to contribute.
Contestability
I have decided to share this premise as it has truly unique constraints on its biosphere, which makes it highly fascinating as a thought experiment. I happily invite anyone to conduct this thought experiment for themselves and to think about the consequences of the systems described here and challenge my assumptions and assertions. I’m no polymath; if there are errors or unrealistic assumptions, logical fallacies, or worse - feel free to open an issue, and I will do my best to correct them.
