title: "amazon-utac: Amazon Rainforest Savannisation Threshold UTAC Model"
abstract: >
  GenesisAeon Package 19. Models the Amazon rainforest → savanna tipping
  transition as a UTAC dynamical system with a double-well potential landscape.
  Implements the CREP tensor (C, R, E, P) calibrated against Lovejoy & Nobre
  (2019) and Boulton et al. (2022). Central result: Γ_Amazon ≈ 0.116 (LOW-CREP
  zone). Includes Ethics-Gate Light (Phase H) for responsible scientific output.
