Preface

I am not a doctor.
I have no formal medical education.
I never intended to study diseases at all.

I am simply someone who encountered this mystery against his own will.

But I am an engineer.

And engineers are trained to look at systems that fail.

To search for hidden constraints, feedback loops, bottlenecks, common factors, and conservation laws. To ask not only what breaks, but why it breaks there first. To look for patterns beneath seemingly unrelated symptoms.

ALS appears enormously complex. Genetics, protein aggregation, inflammation, excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, transport defects, autophagy, RNA processing.

Yet complex systems often fail through surprisingly simple limits.

This text is not a claim of certainty.

It is an attempt to look at ALS not as isolated molecular fragments, but as a stressed energy system gradually losing its ability to sustain itself.
