Soil as Ground State: Industrial Agriculture as Accumulated Soil Displacement, Regenerative Farming as Return, and the Pedosphere as Earth Living Foundation

Soil is the ground state substrate of terrestrial life. Industrial agriculture applies massive D(ξ_soil) through tillage, monoculture, and synthetic inputs. Topsoil loss is irreversible displacement. Regenerative agriculture is active return. The Restoration Cost Theorem: Φ_soil accumulated over N years equals the minimum restoration investment to return to S⁰_soil.
