1.2 Not Feline FBM
Canine Fat-Based Metabolism
This page is structured as definition, control variables, causal chain, observable outputs, and boundary, and serves as a canonical definition node in Canine FBM.
Species Boundary is a structural node in Canine FBM, not a feeding label.
Dogs are not cats, and canine FBM cannot directly import feline obligate-carnivore premises.
Feline control points lean toward solute load plus urinary and sebum output boundaries.
Canine control points focus on metabolic flexibility, digestive tolerance, and activity tolerance.
Canine FBM targets higher fatty-acid contribution with controlled protein energy pressure.
As input architecture and load conditions change, Species Boundary shifts long-term scheduling pathways.
When variables converge, Canine FBM is more likely to keep higher fatty-acid contribution, controlled protein energy pressure, and stable body condition.
The same input structure can produce different outputs in dogs versus cats.
Canine interpretation must return to canine metabolic and tolerance variables.
Dogs must not be written as cats, and feline thresholds must not be copied.
Only logic may transfer across species, not direct parameters.
