- <p>This paper continues the <em>Planetary Convexity Series</em>, expanding the threshold model introduced in <em>Diachronous Oxygenation</em>. It reframes the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) as the first act of planetary energy standardization. Oxygen did not merely alter atmospheric chemistry; it established a universal protocol for energy exchange that synchronized life across the biosphere.</p> <p>Before oxygenation, life was divided among isolated metabolic compartments. The rise of aerobic metabolism unified those compartments into a coherent feedback system, transforming the biosphere from a collection of local economies into a single regulatory organism. Oxygen became the shared medium that linked matter, energy, and information.</p> <p>Within the Convexity framework, the GOE represents the first instance of systemic recursion—where crisis produces coherence. Energy, once standardized, became self-regulating. This paper argues that the oxygenation event marks the birth of planetary governance by feedback, establishing a model that repeats in later transitions from metabolism to cognition to technology.</p>
