Layer 2 Integration
Where universal biology meets a particular life.
The idea
Here is the framework's honest architecture: the mechanisms above are mostly universal human biology, engaged earlier and at lower thresholds. What makes any of it South Asian is this layer, where genetics, diet, culture, and diaspora circumstance combine into a particular person's risk. The claim was never that South Asians are biologically unique. It is that generic thresholds make them clinically invisible, and that integration, done carefully, makes them visible again.
How the evidence grades it
Every study is labeled by what it does to this concept. Counting the counterevidence is the point.
