cross_type 3.46 — strongly supporting 9 facts
Peter Sterling is related to homeostasis because he critically evaluates and challenges the concept, arguing that it should be replaced by his model of allostasis as described in [1], [2], and [3]. He specifically critiques the cybernetic interpretation of homeostasis in [4] and proposes that the term may be redundant for understanding biological regulation in [5].
