Canonical Glossary
Feline Fat-Based Metabolism | Canonical Glossary
This glossary fixes the canonical terms used by the English edition of Feline Fat-Based Metabolism. Each term functions as a stable definition node before entering specific mechanisms, backtrace indexes, and boundary judgments.
Each term exists first as a stable definition node. Mechanism pages may expand the term, but cannot replace it with looser wording.
Each term has a primary functional layer. A term should not drift between source layer, regulatory layer, output layer, and clinical boundary layer.
English pages may use explanatory sentences, but must converge back to the canonical term so that the structure can be read consistently by machines.
Determines which substrate class carries the cat’s long-term energy system; used to distinguish fatty acid oxidation, glucose scheduling, and protein energy pressure.
Layer: Energy Regulation Layer
Canonical Key: MAIN_ENERGY_SUBSTRATE
Chinese term: 主供能底物
The carbohydrate burden introduced by the external food structure; used to determine whether the system is pushed toward glucose scheduling.
Layer: Entry Load Layer
Canonical Key: EXOGENOUS_CARBOHYDRATE_LOAD
Chinese term: 外源性碳水负荷
The occupancy strength of insulin in long-term energy allocation; used to determine whether the fatty acid oxidation pathway can remain stably active.
Layer: Hormonal Regulation Layer
Canonical Key: INSULIN_REGULATION_STATE
Chinese term: 胰岛素调度状态
The processing state by which fat completes gastric release, bile salt dispersion, pancreatic enzyme processing, small-intestinal absorption, and lymphatic transport per unit time.
Layer: Digestion and Transport Layer
Canonical Key: FAT_PROCESSING_RATE
Chinese term: 脂肪处理速率
The mechanism by which glucose-sodium cotransport in the proximal small intestine drives water recovery; used to backtrace constipation and stool water-content changes.
Layer: Water Recovery Layer
Canonical Key: SGLT1_WATER_SODIUM_ABSORPTION
Chinese term: SGLT1 与水钠协同吸收
The nitrogen, mineral, and other solute burden that the kidney must process to obtain the same amount of energy; used to evaluate long-term urinary and renal pressure.
Layer: Renal Load Layer
Canonical Key: SOLUTE_LOAD_PER_ENERGY
Chinese term: 单位能量溶质负荷
The per-unit-time state of sebaceous synthesis, release, local accommodation, and surface expression; used to backtrace greasy coat, acne-like chin presentation, and coat condition.
Layer: Skin and Sebum Layer
Canonical Key: SEBUM_PROCESSING_RATE
Chinese term: 皮脂处理速率
The time variable describing how long ingested hair remains in the stomach; used to evaluate hair entanglement probability and regurgitation probability.
Layer: Hairball Pathway Layer
Canonical Key: HAIR_RESIDENCE_TIME
Chinese term: 胃内毛停留时间
The actual state in which an ingredient enters the cat, including batch condition, freshness, storage, processing, fat exposure, and microbial load; it cannot be replaced by the ingredient name.
Layer: Food State Layer
Canonical Key: INGREDIENT_STATE
Chinese term: 食材状态
The state boundary of fat under storage, processing, oxygen exposure, temperature, and opening-cycle conditions; in FBM, it directly affects digestive feedback, palatability, the sebum system, and long-term output stability.
Layer: Food State Layer
Canonical Key: FAT_FRESHNESS_BOUNDARY
Chinese term: 脂肪新鲜度
Observable outputs such as loose stool, constipation, hairball vomiting, urinary concentration, greasy coat, acne-like chin presentation, and coat condition are not root causes; they are reverse-entry indexes into upstream structure.
Layer: Observable Index Layer
Canonical Key: OBSERVABLE_OUTPUT_BACKTRACE
Chinese term: 可观察表现回溯
The participation of bile salts in dispersing fat within small-intestinal contents so that fat can contact pancreatic enzymes more effectively; it is a pre-processing step and not equivalent to complete absorption.
Layer: Digestion and Transport Layer
Canonical Key: BILE_SALT_DISPERSION
Chinese term: 胆盐分散
The regulatory node by which bile-acid-related molecules entering later intestinal segments may affect colonic secretion, colonic propulsion, and stool water content; used to backtrace loose stool and defecation rhythm changes.
Layer: Water Recovery Layer
Canonical Key: BILE_ACID_COLON_REGULATION
Chinese term: 胆汁酸相关结肠调节
The timing variable by which gastric contents enter the small intestine; it affects the concentration of fat entry, pancreatic enzyme pressure, gastric hair residence time, and regurgitation probability.
Layer: Gastric Release Layer
Canonical Key: GASTRIC_EMPTYING_SPEED
Chinese term: 胃排空速度
The probability that ingested hair remains in the stomach and entangles into a regurgitable hair mass; affected by gastric hair residence time, gastric emptying speed, and hair load.
Layer: Hairball Pathway Layer
Canonical Key: HAIR_ENTANGLEMENT_PROBABILITY
Chinese term: 毛缠结概率
The local variable formed by bowl contact, friction, humidity, licking, skin barrier state, and local microbial conditions; it can amplify greasy coat and acne-like chin presentation but cannot replace upstream backtrace.
Layer: Skin and Sebum Layer
Canonical Key: LOCAL_SKIN_ENVIRONMENT
Chinese term: 局部皮肤环境
The layer in which bacteria, Malassezia, and other microorganisms may be detected or proliferate after local skin conditions change; it may amplify outputs but is not the default upstream cause of greasy coat or acne-like chin presentation.
Layer: Clinical Boundary Layer
Canonical Key: SECONDARY_MICROBIAL_LAYER
Chinese term: 继发微生物层
When persistent diarrhea, blood in stool, obvious pain, food refusal, severe dehydration, skin rupture with exudate, infection, diagnosed disease, or emergency signals appear, the case enters clinical diagnosis and handling; Feline FBM does not replace diagnosis, treatment, or emergency care.
Layer: Boundary Layer
Canonical Key: CLINICAL_BOUNDARY_LAYER
Chinese term: 临床边界层
