9.4 Regurgitation Probability

Feline Fat-Based Metabolism (Fat-Based Metabolism)

Definition

Regurgitation probability is the probability that gastric contents or hair aggregates are expelled upward.

Vomiting or regurgitation is an output event, not a root cause. Backtrace through Gastric Emptying Speed, Gastric Hair Residence Time, fat entry timing, and pathological boundary assessment.

Frequent vomiting, blood, pain, refusal to eat, and lethargy enter Clinical Boundary Layer.

Control Variables
1. Hair entanglement probability

Mass formation before upward expulsion.

2. Gastric emptying speed

Alternative path: onward passage vs regurgitation.

3. Fat entry timing

From upstream food structure and gastric release.

Causal Chain

Observable Outputs

Hairball vomiting index records the output event for Observable Output Backtrace.

Boundary
Clinical boundary layer

blood in vomit, repeated vomiting, pain, food refusal, lethargy → clinical boundary

This page defines regurgitation probability only. Not a clinical diagnosis system, not a treatment protocol, not an effect-guarantee system.
