Immunosenescence as Immune Ground State Erosion: Thymic Involution, Inflammaging, and the Progressive Displacement of Immune Competence

This is the record, not the paper. The work itself is the deposit on Zenodo, under the DOI below. What follows is its abstract, as deposited.

We apply the Displacement Framework to immune aging (immunosenescence), formalizing the age-related erosion of immune competence as progressive displacement from a seven-component ground state S0_immune. Eight formal propositions are derived covering: thymic involution as naive T cell reserve depletion (ODE for diversity decline), inflammaging as accumulated immune displacement Phi_immune from five self-reinforcing sources, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) as a self-reinforcing wrong attractor with bystander senescence loop, CMV-driven clonal inflation as repertoire displacement ratchet, and vaccine immunogenicity failure as direct clinical readout of accumulated Phi_immune.

Three return-path propositions cover caloric restriction as displacement-rate reduction, senolytics (dasatinib+quercetin) as SASP wrong-attractor exit, and rapamycin/mTOR inhibition as thymic partial recovery. A 10-row summary table maps all immunosenescence phenomena to Displacement Framework objects.
