Sprint

Biological Parallel

Mast seeding in oak trees demonstrates nature's sprint logic: coordinate massive resource investment in synchronized bursts, overwhelming predators and maximizing success. A sprint is not simply 'working fast'—it's the strategic concentration of energy into time-boxed intervals that create evolutionary advantage through synchronization. Annual cicadas emerge simultaneously every year; periodical cicadas wait 17 years then emerge in overwhelming numbers—both strategies use temporal concentration to saturate threats and amplify impact.
