contents We apply the Displacement Framework to telomere biology, formalizing telomeres as biological displacement clocks: each cell division costs a displacement quantum (50-200 bp telomere shortening), and accumulated displacement Phi_cellular = L0 - L(t) tracks biological age. We derive the Hayflick limit formally from the displacement clock equation and show that senescence and apoptosis are wrong-attractor entry events triggered when telomere length falls below critical threshold L_crit. Telomerase (TERT+TERC) is formalized as the return enzyme — selectively expressed in germ cells, stem cells, and 85% of cancers. The cancer paradox is derived: telomerase activation provides immortality but captures the cell in a wrong attractor of uncontrolled replication. We prove the Psychological-Biological Displacement Coupling proposition, showing that chronic stress, ACEs, depression, and socioeconomic displacement accelerate telomere shortening via glucocorticoid, ROS, and inflammatory pathways. Protective factors (meditation, exercise, plant-based diet, sleep) are formalized as displacement brakes.
