Each species carries a fitness value. The least-fit species and its two neighbors are replaced by new random fitness values. The process repeats.\\n\\nAfter many steps the system reaches a critical state. All fitness values sit above a threshold. Avalanches of replacements occur at all scales. These produce long periods of stasis interrupted by bursts of change. The pattern matches punctuated equilibrium in the fossil record.\\n\\nThe model self-organizes without external tuning. Dissipative dynamics alone drive the system to criticality. Power-law distributions appear for avalanche sizes and waiting times. Scale invariance emerges.\\n\\n## Exact primary work and passages\\n\\nBak, P., & Sneppen, K. (1993). Punctuated equilibrium and criticality in a simple model of evolution. Physical Review Letters, 71(24), 4083–4086.\\n\\nCore statement from the abstract: \\\"A simple and robust model of biological evolution of an ecology of interacting species is introduced. The model self-organizes into a critical steady state.\\\"\\n\\nThe paper shows that the stationary state exhibits punctuated equilibrium. Large events occur with power-law frequency. The threshold fitness stabilizes near 0.67 in the one-dimensional case.\\n\\nNo page-specific verbatim quotes beyond the abstract are reproduced here because the source PDF yields only the published summary in standard indexes.\\n\\n## Convergence patterns touched\\n\\nThe work evidences scale invariance and bounded chaos through avalanches. It bridges thermodynamics-style dissipation to biological patterns. Memory arises in the threshold state. Flow networks appear in the interaction ring.
