abstract: "IPBES 2023 (real, official global invasive-species assessment: USD423bn/yr cost as of 2019, 60% of extinctions invasive-linked, 3500+ harmful of 37000+ introduced species), Marshall 2018 (real, causally-attributed Lake Victoria trophic cascade, 200+ cichlid species lost to introduced Nile perch), and Williamson & Fitter 1996 + Spatz et al. 2022 (the honesty check: most introductions never become invasive per the tens rule, and island eradication succeeds 88% of the time in 1550 real attempts). Deliberately no UTAC/CREP/AFET bridge and no invented Gamma value -- see DISCLAIMER.md. GenesisAeon P117."
